If you are looking for a stroller at a reasonable price then you may not need all of the extra options. Some people will find a cup holder useful other won't. Do you want there to be built in toys and things to keep baby busy and entertained? Did you know that some strollers play tunes? There is an almost limitless list of options. Sometimes a few of these options are logical and can be very helpful; for example, if you take your baby out and walk for long distances then you will need some form of entertainment and a stroller that has a sturdier frame.
