Your stroller is already doing a lot of heavy lifting. But a few well-chosen accessories can take it from "fine" to "how did I ever leave the house without this?" I've been writing about baby gear since 2010 and have two kids who have put a lot of strollers through their paces, so here's what I think is actually worth adding to your stroller setup.What stroller accessories have you added to your setup?
Do Not Touch Tags
Babies are irresistible, so it's not surprising that well-meaning people often reach in and touch a newborn without thinking about what's on their hands. I came up with these durable signs that can go on a stroller, car seat, or carrier if you are too hoarse from screaming, "keep your filthy hands off my precious baby!" at old ladies at the supermarket. Shop here.
BuggyGuard Stroller Lock
It takes a real piece of work to steal a baby stroller, but they're expensive and it happens more than you'd think. The BuggyGuard has a retractable cable that loops through the wheels and locks to any stationary object, with a combination lock so there are no keys to lose. The compact design tucks away neatly and doesn't interfere with folding. Keep it clipped to your stroller so it's always there when you need it. Shop here.
Habitat Stroller Cup Holder with Phone Holder
You will need your coffee, your water bottle, and your phone simultaneously approximately 100% of the time you are walking. This holder keeps all three within reach on your stroller handle, which sounds like a small thing until you've tried to fish your phone out of the bottom of a diaper bag with one hand while steering with the other. Shop here.
Skip Hop Ultra Stroller Organizer
This is the storage upgrade most strollers genuinely need. Multiple pockets, insulated cup holders, and easy access to wipes, snacks, and your keys — all from the handlebar. If you're the kind of person who likes everything to have a place (or desperately wishes you were), this is your accessory. Shop here.
Lulyboo Stroller Hook Clips Set
For everything that doesn't fit anywhere else — shopping bags, a backpack, a tote with 40 things in it. These clips hang from the handlebar and hold a surprising amount. One important note: be mindful of how much weight you pile on, because a back-heavy stroller will tip the moment you let go of the handle, and that's a lesson you don't want to learn with a baby in the stroller. Shop here.
Skip Hop Stroll & Connect Bladeless Stroller Fan
Bladeless is the key word here — no little fingers getting into spinning blades, which is less about safety (most stroller fans wouldn't do any damage) and more about a baby who can't help but fiddle with something that's moving. This fan connects easily to your stroller and keeps air moving. A hot, sweaty, overtired baby is everyone's worst afternoon, and this helps avoid that. Shop here.
Nuby Stroller Fan
I like this one because it's easy to move around so you get the perfect fan angle. It also delivers a little more breeze than the bladeless if your baby can resist messing with it. Shop here.
Nuby Eco Stroller Weather Shield & Netting Set
Rain, wind, bugs, and the occasional rogue bee — this shield and netting combo handles all of it. It fits over the stroller to block the elements and keeps flying insects out, which perfect if you're doing any outdoor time in bug season or somewhere tropical. The fact that it doubles as weather protection makes it worth having year-round. Shop here.
7AM Enfant Blanket 212 Evolution Extendable Footmuff
This is a warm sleeping bag for your baby, and it is wonderful. The adjustable, removable top gives you temperature control, and the extendable footmuff means it grows with your child so you actually get seasons of use out of it. It's pricey so if you just need something for occasional use I'd just use a warm blanket but if you're somewhere with brutal winters, it's a great investment. Shop here.
7AM Enfant Warmmuffs Stroller Gloves
These look a little odd at first but they're genuinely brilliant. They stay on the stroller handle — not your hands — which means you can take them off and on without dropping them or losing one on the sidewalk. Easy access to your baby, your phone, your coffee, your dignity. Shop here.
morepeas Baby Toy and Cup Strap
These simple straps attach toys, pacifiers, sippy cups, and teethers to your stroller so that when your baby inevitably flings something as hard as they can toward the ground, it just… bounces. Cheap, effective, and one of those things you'll wonder how you lived without. I like the snaps on these. Shop here.
Adjustable Silicone Straps
Here is another version that has a thinner strap and the items attach through a pull through loop vs. the snap. Shop here.
Chian Link Rings
Another option for attaching goodies to the stroller are these rings. I like that you can customize the length. Shop here.
Lalo Snack Cup
This cup is spill-resistant (emphasis on resistant, because nothing with a toddler is truly spill-proof), easy for little hands to dig into, and works great for Puffs, Cheerios, or whatever your child is currently willing to eat. It fits into most cup holders too. Shop here.
Skip Hop Glow with Me Portable Sound Machine
If your baby has learned to fall asleep to white noise at home (and honestly, good for you for starting that habit early), this little acorn brings that magic on the road. It clips right to the stroller, glows softly, and plays soothing sounds so your baby thinks they're in their crib even when you're navigating a crowded farmers market. The fact that it's shaped like an acorn is completely unnecessary and yet somehow makes it even better. Shop here.
Frida Baby Hands Free Rocker
This one's a bit of a wildcard, but stay with me. Clip it to your stroller or use it at home to keep baby gently rocking while you actually do something with your hands — like drink a full cup of coffee or shake your fists at the sky because you're dealing with a sleep regression. Shop here.
Skip Hop Farmstand Avocado Stroller Toy
Everything for babies is avocado-themed right now and I refuse to be annoyed about it, because this toy is cute and genuinely works. Crinkly, soft, clips right to the stroller, and holds a baby's attention surprisingly well. Shop here.
Infantino Go gaga! Musical Travel Bar Activity Toy
This arches over the stroller seat and gives your baby an entire entertainment center to interact with — lights, music, toys to bat at. It's a lot, and babies love it. Great for longer outings when you need your little one engaged and happy. Shop here.
Lamaze Clip & Go Freddie the Firefly
A classic for a reason. Soft, colorful, clips easily to the stroller, and has stayed popular for years because babies are consistently obsessed with it. If you need a straightforward, reliable stroller toy, Freddie is always a good call. Shop here.
Mockingbird Riding Board Stroller Accessory
For the toddler who wants to walk everywhere right up until the moment they absolutely don't. The Mockingbird board is especially good because it sits off to the side, so you're not kicking it with every step — which if you've ever used a riding board before, you know is a genuine quality-of-life improvement. This one is compatible with the Mockingbird stroller but depending on how your stroller is configured it might work. Shop here.
tagalong Kids' Handle
For the toddler who still needs to stay close and feel like they have a job to do (and also isn't a bolter). This attaches to the stroller and gives them their own handle to hold. They feel like a big kid, you maintain some crowd control, everybody wins. Shop here.
