We compiled buying tips from Grayson, then researched versatile, adjustable, easy-to-clean designs. Our favorite is the TwelveLittle On-The-Go Stroller Caddy 3.0, a universal carrier with multiple compartments, pockets, and even a changing pad. Now, it’s important to note that placing items on the handlebars of a stroller could pose a tipping hazard, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. With that in mind, you should always check that your specific stroller model is compatible with a handlebar stroller organizer—and if it isn’t or you’re unsure, opt to stow your essentials in the stroller’s lower storage basket instead. Scroll down for the best stroller organizers currently on the market. It boasts a spacious main compartment with an adjustable divider, multiple interior pockets, a designated pouch for baby wipes, an exterior water bottle pocket, and even a portable changing pad. Unlike many stroller caddies, this one actually closes. The large front flap has a handy magnet on both sides to keep it securely shut or open so you can access your stuff with both hands. Both the shell and lining are water-resistant polyester, making the On-The-Go Caddy easy to wipe clean. You can also run it through the wash on a gentle cycle if needed. In the end, we just wish it was a bit more affordable. It also weighs over 2 pounds empty, so you should be certain your stroller is designed to bear that weight. Price at time of publish: $90 Made of soft yet sturdy neoprene, this caddy is extremely lightweight—it weighs under 1 pound. It’s also conveniently machine washable (make sure to lay it out to dry, though). While this Skip Hop stroller organizer won’t work with dual-handled models, the adjustable straps are designed to fit most other strollers. The bag also easily folds up with umbrella strollers—just make sure to remove any valuable items first, as they might fall out due to the open-top design. Overall, if you’re looking for a stroller organizer that’s useful for everyday adventures but won’t break the bank, the Grab & Go Organizer is a solid option. Price at time of publish: $24 This carrier has a zip-off cooler pouch for keeping milk, formula, drinks, and snacks cool. The insulated pouch is big enough to fit five small baby bottles or 12-ounce cans. There are also two insulated cup holders and a removable clutch for your cards, keys, and ID. We wish there were more color options, but black certainly goes with most strollers. Price at time of publish: $40 Other standout features of the Petunia Pickle Bottom Wander Caddy include adjustable Velcro straps, insulated cup holders, an exterior phone pocket, and magnetic closure. Another unique feature is the spacious fold-out pocket, which seems ideal for stowing oversized yet lightweight items that won’t fit in the main compartment of the organizer, such as a picture book, stuffed toy, or extra kids’ clothes. It’s constructed to fit most strollers with handlebars up to 20 inches wide, but you should always refer to your stroller manual to be certain it’s compatible. And since it doesn’t zip fully closed, we wouldn’t recommend folding it up with your stroller. Price at time of publish: $49 We like that the adjustable, non-slip straps are made to attach securely to stroller handlebars and promise a universal fit across strollers. The Swanoo Stroller Organizer weighs just 1 pound, but you should keep in mind the added weight of the items you put in it, including any drinks. This caddy is only available in one color—black—but it’s reasonably priced. Plus, the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty on the organizer. Price at time of publish: $36 The water-resistant material is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth for lighter messes or when you’re out and about. When messes get too big to wipe away, you can toss this stroller organizer in your washing machine. It’s designed to be compatible with Mockingbird’s Single Stroller and Single-to-Double Stroller. While it’s not technically universal, the Velcro straps are adjustable and should work on many stroller handlebars. Price at time of publish: $25 This organizer comes with a shoulder strap so you can remove it from the stroller and carry it like a diaper bag or purse. The universal stroller straps are constructed with Velcro tabs, which you can adjust for a secure fit on most strollers. Additionally, the durable Oxford fabric not only resists wear and tear, but it’s also easy to wipe clean as needed. The only potential downside is that this caddy doesn’t zip fully closed, so you probably won’t want to fold it up with your stroller. Price at time of publish: $25 We should note this stroller organizer doesn’t have a large central compartment like many other organizers. However, behind the easy-access compartments, you’ll find a spacious mesh bag for stashing things like baby clothes, hats, toys, and blankets. Designed to be used with single strollers, the straps on this organizer have adjustable snaps. Price at time of publish: $40 Now, in addition to not having pockets, the Click2Store Organizer isn’t universal. It’s designed specifically to click onto the handles of Graco strollers. It’s also on the pricey side. Price at time of publish: $90 Thanks to the water-repellent exterior, this organizer is easy to clean and even machine washable. While it’s designed to work with all Bugaboo strollers, it’s also billed as a universal caddy. The Velcro stroller straps should attach to most stroller handlebars, and we read reports that it’s compatible with non-Bugaboo stroller brands. Price at time of publish: $45 This stroller organizer has adjustable straps with hook-and-loop straps, so you can attach them to most handlebars. And while it doesn’t close all the way and isn’t machine washable, we appreciate the spacious interior, two bottle pouches, and front zippered pocket. Price at time of publish: $28 This universal stroller organizer has two spacious main compartments with ample pockets and a handy key clip. There are two insulated drink holders, too, including one with a drawstring to keep taller bottles in place. It won’t be a good fit for single strollers, but it’s a reliable lightweight option for double strollers. Price at time of publish: $55
Attachment Type and Adjustability
Most stroller organizers attach to the handlebar with hook-and-loop straps, though some brand-specific options clip on. If you go with a universal stroller organizer, Graysen says it should be adjustable to ensure a proper fit and prevent slipping. For instance, the Skip Hop Grab & Go Stroller Organizer has adjustable straps that wrap securely around most handlebars. However, before you hang an organizer from a stroller’s handlebars, it’s important to double-check that your specific stroller is designed for this functionality. Otherwise, the bag’s weight could tip over the stroller, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. If in doubt, it’s safest to stow your organizer in the stroller’s storage basket instead.
Size and Organization Options
Pediatrician Katy Gibson, D.O., recommends getting a stroller organizer that can hold everything you want to keep on hand—but not so large that it adds substantial weight or is cumbersome to carry around. Dr. Gibson says getting the proper size will also ensure it “secures properly and will not tip over on a small stroller.” “In terms of features, pockets are always great—especially if they zip shut or have a flap for added security,” says Grayson. The Swanoo Stroller Organizer goes above and beyond with cup holders, a baby wipes dispenser, a phone slot, and a removable wristlet.
Care Requirements
“[Stroller caddies] can and will get messy, so having one that’s easy to clean is crucial,” says Grayson. Most can be wiped down with a damp cloth and spot cleaned as needed. But a machine-washable design like the Mockingbird Parent Organizer will come in handy when dealing with bigger messes.
