Full-Featured Strollers: Reviews

The Inglesina Zippy is the best standard stroller, especially if easy folding and handling is a priority. Using a special mechanism, the Zippy stroller easily folds with one hand. The seat is fully reclining (so it's… suitable for newborns). It has plush, washable seat padding and comes with a universal car seat adaptor that fits most infant car seats. The sun canopy is adjustable, and a rain cover is included. A rear footplate for a second child adds to its functionality. At 17 pounds, the Zippy is lighter than other similarly featured strollers. Built to last, stroller reviews say the Zippy is a great choice.

While heavier than the other strollers in ConsumerSearch Fast Answers, the 27-pound Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe stroller gets high marks in professional and parent reviews as a good budget stroller. Users generally comment… on its durability and ease of use. It has a fully reclining seat, rotating canopy, storage basket and cup holder. It is also compatible with the Graco SnugRide infant car seat. The Quattro Tour may not have the same type of sophistication found in the other options, but it makes up for this with a far lower price tag.

On the far end of the price spectrum are strollers like the Bugaboo Cameleon (*est. $900) and the Bee -- strollers that are perhaps more about slick modern design and luxury status than mere functionality. Reviews say the… compact Bee maneuvers well and is both comfortable and sturdy, but takes some practice to adjust (an instructional video is included). The height-adjustable handlebars are helpful for taller parents, and the reversible seat lets an infant ride facing you. Drawbacks include a narrow 20-inch seat that could be a tight fit for some kids. There's no question that parents and experts like the Bugaboo Bee, but if the luxury cachet isn't that important to you, you can spend less and still get a functional stroller.
