Stroller Accessories by Brand: What Actually Fits, What's Actually Worth It
If there's one thing three kids have taught us, it's that the stroller you buy is only half the story. The accessories are what turn "a stroller" into your stroller to meet your needs. Maybe you need, the one with the coffee holder within reach, the toddler board attached on the back, and the rain cover that means a West Coast downpour doesn't cancel your walk and the footmuff that keeps your baby warm through a Canadian winter.
But here's the question we hear at the shop almost every day: "What stroller accessories actually fit my stroller?" This is a fair question because the honest answer is it depends on the brand, and mixing the wrong accessory with the wrong stroller ranges from annoying to unsafe.
So we've broken it down by the popular stroller brands we carry to help make your daily family outdoor activities easier. Buy online and we ship free across Canada on orders over $89.99. Every stroller accessory here is one we'd put on our own stroller because at some point, we probably have.

FAQ about stroller accessories
Do I need a brand-specific rain cover or will a universal one work?
Brand-specific covers fit their stroller brand canopy shape exactly. Brand stroller accessories offer better weather coverage, better airflow, less flap. Universal covers work in a pinch or for less common models. When in doubt, call out toll free line about your stroller brand that we carry in store and we'll fit one on the spot.
What's the weight limit on a ride-along board?
It varies by brand and model. Most ride-along stroller boards have a maximum weight limit between 48 lbs (22 kg) and 55 lbs (25 kg). This typically suits children aged 2 to 5 years old.
Always check the manufacturer's manual for your exact board before your big kid hops on. Ride along are generally made for Our team can look it up with you by phone or email. Ride
Can I add a second seat to any stroller?
No, adding a second seats are brand stroller model-specific (UPPAbaby Vista and Baby Jogger City Select are the classics). The Bugaboo wheeled board is similar to the ride along board. Check your stroller's compatibility before buying, or ask us first.

The Accessories Every Stroller Needs (Whatever the Brand)
If we had to pick the three we'd never stroller without:
-
A rain cover. In BC this isn't an accessory, it's a membership card. Brand-specific covers fit best. There are no gaps, no flapping but we stock universal options too. Plus it cuts down on the wind and cold weather that many Canadians experience in the winter, fall or spring. Shop rain covers
-
A cup holder. The single greatest quality-of-life-per-dollar upgrade in all of parenting. We carry options for Bugaboo, Thule, UPPAbaby Vista, and more. Shop cup holders
-
A footmuff. Warm baby = longer walks = everyone's happier. Trust us on this one; we've done the math across three winters times three kids.
