Total of 17 Sources
For an explanation of how we rank reviews, see our ratings criteria page.
Strollers
by Denise and Alan Fields
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 strollers. 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 -- 77 pages of reviews and buying advice in the Strollers section of the book. It is the combination of these qualities that makes "Baby Bargains" the best review source we found.

by Contributors to Amazon.com
Our AssessmentAmazon.com allows owners to post ratings of baby gear, and there are a number of reviews on travel systems. We found several models with 4.5-star ratings and large numbers of reviews. Some of the highly rated models in the single stroller category are also car seat compatible. However, one of the highest-rated travel systems here -- the Orbit Infant System -- is labeled a safety risk by a leading consumer testing organization.

This Is How We Roll
by Faye Penn
by Faye Penn
Our AssessmentFaye Penn tests nine strollers (with the help of her baby son) in New York, judging how easy they are to maneuver through subways, buses, streets and grocery stores. The Orbit is the only travel system tested, but the Peg-Perego Skate and Micralite Toro can also accommodate car seats, with an added adapter. Penn makes very helpful observations about each stroller, but she doesn't pick any favorites.
