From Bugaboo’s new Stella McCartney edition to the coachbuilt prams of the British royal family – the luxury strollers worth knowing, the ones celebrities chose, and what Dallas parents should look for before they buy
A stroller is the first luxury object most parents use every single day. Luxury baby strollers have become a category of their own, where fashion houses design canopies, British makers still build prams by hand and limited editions launch like fashion collections. For Dallas families, the question is no longer whether a premium stroller is worth it, but which one fits the way they actually live.
The answer starts with a simple idea. The best luxury strollers are not the most decorated ones; they are the ones that still glide, fold and protect after thousands of miles of sidewalks, parking garages and summer afternoons.
The Luxury Stroller Brands Leading the Field
A handful of names define the high end. Bugaboo, the Dutch stroller brand, has just raised the stakes: on September 15, 2026, it released a limited Bugaboo x Stella McCartney collection across three models – the Fox 5 Renew, the Dragonfly Plus and the Butterfly 2 – in a tobacco-brown colorway with vegan leather details, recycled fabrics and Falabella-inspired chain hardware. In the U.K., the Fox 5 Renew edition is priced at £1,850.
Stella McCartney described the collection plainly:
“This collection is for every mum who wants to bring her own individuality and playfulness into parenthood.”
Silver Cross represents the other end of luxury: heritage. The British maker’s Balmoral is a traditional coachbuilt pram that has long been hand-built in Yorkshire. Orbit Baby, by contrast, built its reputation on engineering, with a rotating seat base and a modular system that can add a second seat or a ride-on board for an older sibling; its G5 stroller starts at $1,200. Around them, brands such as Cybex, Nuna and UPPAbaby round out the premium field with travel systems built for everyday city life.
Which Stroller Does Kim Kardashian Use?
It is one of the most searched questions about luxury strollers, and the most documented answer goes back to 2013. When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter North was a newborn, the family was photographed with an Orbit Baby G2 travel system, a stroller and car-seat combination that was then priced at about $940. Orbit Baby still names Kim Kardashian among the brand’s celebrity owners, alongside Kourtney Kardashian.
Later, when North was a toddler, Kardashian was photographed with a lighter city stroller, the Mamas & Papas Urbo2, according to the British parenting site MadeForMums. The pattern is telling: even for one of the most photographed mothers in the world, the choice moved from a feature-rich travel system for a newborn to a compact stroller for a toddler on the go.
Celebrity Strollers: What the Royals and the Stars Push
Few strollers have a pedigree like Silver Cross. The Princess of Wales chose Silver Cross prams for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, according to Hello! magazine – navy, with a polished chrome chassis and spoked wheels. Hello! also reported that she requested an insect net for George’s pram, a detail that later became standard on the brand’s prams.
On the American side, Orbit Baby lists a long roster of famous parents among its owners, including Beyoncé, Chrissy Teigen, Rihanna and Jessica Alba. Brand lists are marketing, of course, but they reveal what high-profile parents look for: privacy, a stroller that moves easily between car and sidewalk, and a design that will be photographed.

How to Choose a High-End Stroller in Dallas
Dallas asks specific things of a stroller. North Texas summers make the canopy as important as the frame: look for a large, extendable sunshade with UPF-rated fabric and a seat with real ventilation. Wide sidewalks in Highland Park Village and the Katy Trail reward good suspension and larger wheels, while a life spent in and out of cars and garages calls for a quick, one-hand fold and a car-seat-compatible travel system.
Then there is the question of time. A newborn needs a bassinet or a seat that reclines fully flat; a toddler needs a lighter frame that fits in a trunk. Many families end up with two strollers, as Kim Kardashian did, and the smartest luxury purchase is often the one that covers both stages with a single, well-built system.
Luxury, in the end, is measured on the sidewalk. The best stroller is the one that makes the daily walk feel effortless – the first beautiful object a child will know, and one that still looks good after thousands of miles.
