What words come to mind when you think of parents? I think of loving, hardworking, reliable—and now stylish. Yes, with sleepless nights and messy mealtimes, being a parent can sometimes feel not so stylish. But Bobby Schuessler and Nicole Eshaghpour, two of the chicest parents I know, have officially convinced me otherwise. Their street-style looks prove that even strollers and baby carriers can be used to express your personal style.
"As a mom and fashion editor, I approach shopping for strollers the same way I do the accessories in my closet," editor-at-large Nicole Eshaghpour says. "I want items that match my style and aesthetic while also being top quality, comfortable for my children, and of the highest safety standards." Market director Bobby Schuessler echoes this. "As a fashion editor, my outfits are very intentional," he says. "I think about every piece I style in a look, including the stroller and baby carrier." So, which brand do they trust for both style and safety? According to these parents, Cybex is the crème de la crème of stylish baby gear. If you also want to be the coolest parent in your city, I'd recommend saving the streetwear looks below.
"Style doesn't just stop at the outfit—it extends to my baby carriers and strollers as well, and this stroller is next-level. I wear a lot of neutrals, so l adore that the white stroller coordinates flawlessly with my everyday street style. In this look, I opted for relaxed white jeans (one of my staple pieces) and paired them with a contrasting black oversize blazer and loafers. The stroller really pops against this ensemble." — Schuessler
"In addition to its sleek, chic look, the stroller is wildly easy to use and so compact and lightweight, but it doesn't sacrifice space and comfort. I live in the suburbs and commute downtown for meals and activities with my family, so I fold it up and put it into the trunk of my car, and then seamlessly open it up as we peruse the downtown streets. I can tell my baby is comfortable and sits in the right position when she's in the stroller, and the stroller can also lie more flat if she needs to take a nap. The carrier is just as comfortable and easy to use—some carriers are difficult to put on by yourself and don't have the best back support, but this one exceeds." — Schuessler
"Inevitably, with kids, your necessary 'gear' can kind of kill the vibe, but never with this brand! The Coya Stroller is a favorite for my son and me. It's minimalist and sleek, such that it feels like a natural extension of my own style. I tend to wear a lot of neutrals, so when I'm walking around and pushing it, I don't feel like it's competing with or going against my outfits. I buy almost all my accessories, such as shoes and bags, in black, and in the summer I often style them with all-white clothes, so the black stroller fits perfectly into that way of dressing. Plus, with the matte black accents, it blends seamlessly with any jewelry or hardware I'm wearing on any given day." — Eshaghpour
"I walk my kids everywhere from school to the park to birthday parties to weekend activities, so I need a stroller that's lightweight and easy to maneuver around but still very sturdy. This one is compact and so easy to use. Folding and unfolding it is a breeze—I especially love how I can easily and quickly fold the stroller upon arriving at places. It's also easy to buckle, unbuckle, and adjust the straps when needed. Jordan, of course, loves how comfortable it is. The breathable fabric and sunshade are game changers for summer, as well as the reclining back for when he wants to rest or nap in the stroller. The spacious basket underneath makes it easy to carry around backpacks, lunches, and anything else we may need when leaving the house in the morning." — Eshaghpour
