Strollers
by Denise and Alan Fields
Our Assessment
Baby Bargains is a must-have for prospective or new parents, offering opinions, information and reviews of most types of baby products. What makes this the top review is the amount of information given… about car seat/stroller combos. The authors have included an extensive amount of information about numerous strollers, including the ones that they felt failed to impress. The book is well-written, the information is helpful and there is more here than in any other source. It is the combination of these qualities that makes Baby Bargains the best review we found.

Stroller ratings
by Editors of Consumer Reports
Our Assessment
The staff of Consumer Reports tests car seats and strollers, but editors really don't discuss travel systems that much. Several of the strollers tested are available as travel systems, and Consumer Reports also tests two car seat carriers.

Travel Systems
by Editors of ConsumerGuide.com
Our Assessment
Consumer Guide rates seven travel systems, giving three car seat strollers a rating of "Best Buy." However, editors don't disclose the extent to which these strollers were tested -- or who might have tried them out. Editors do sometimes mention negatives such as poor steering control and cumbersome folding.

Which? Report: Pushchairs
by Editors of Which.co.uk
Our Assessment
Which? magazine is a British counterpart to Consumer Reports, conducting independent testing and posting reviews on a wide range of products. Which? has a full section on strollers, including some travel systems; two are named Best Buys, but only the Maclaren Techno XLR Travel System is available in the U.S.
Travel Systems
by Editors of Mumsnet.com
Our Assessment
Mumsnet is a European website, and although there's some great safety information here, many of the strollers are not available in the U.S. This is a great stop if you are a European shopper, however. Of the top-rated travel systems, only the Bugaboo Chameleon is widely available in the United States.
Travel Systems
by Contributors to Epinions.com
Our Assessment
There are a number of parent-written reviews here for travel systems and for stroller frames, although most models have only a handful of reviews. As on Amazon.com, the full-size Graco systems -- including the Quattro Tour Deluxe -- get very good ratings from parents.

Car Seat Reviews
by Contributors to Viewpoints.com

Travel Systems

Our Assessment
LilaGuide.com is part of a family of websites that include TheNest.com (for newlyweds) and TheKnot.com (for those getting married). This site launched in spring 2007, and there are a number of reviews for a few well-known travel systems. The Chicco Cortina Travel System gets a high average of 4.5 out of five stars in over 25 user reviews.
Baby-Gaga Stroller Reviews
by Editors of Baby-Gaga.com
Our Assessment
Editors at Baby-Gaga rate strollers by compiling parent reviews. Each stroller is given a letter grade according to several criteria -- overall, safety, convenience and comfort. This is a really excellent review site -- unfortunately, most of the reviews are more than two years old, so this site isn't as relevant as it once was.
Car Seat/Stroller Combination
by Editors of BestBabyProducts.com
Our Assessment
According to the editors of Best Baby Products, strollers are first tested by the staff, and then given to parents to test once the initial pool of products has been weaned. Editors choose the Evenflo Easy Comfort Premiere, Graco LiteRider and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go as their top-rated travel systems. Unfortunately, these ratings have not been updated in several years.
