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. The Italian-designed Inglesina stroller is stylish, though not as modern as some $700 European strollers. The 22.5-pound Zippy has plush, washable seat padding and comes with a universal car-seat adaptor that fits the most popular infant car seats, including the top-rated SnugRide and SafeSeat from Graco. The sun canopy is adjustable, and a rain cover is included. The 2009 Zippy also comes with height-adjustable handles, rear-wheel suspension and one-hand steering. Built to last, stroller reviews say the Zippy is a great choice.

Although heavier than most other top-rated strollers, the 26.5-pound Graco Quattro Tour Sport stroller gets high marks in professional and parent reviews as a good budget stroller. Users generally praise its durability,… maneuverability 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 and SafeSeat infant car seats. The Quattro Tour may not have the same sophistication found in the other options, but it makes up for this with a far lower price tag.

Competition is fierce among $700 luxury strollers, but reviewers say the Uppababy Vista offers a good blend of style, practicality, comfort and maneuverability. The Vista is highly configurable and adjustable: It comes… with telescopic handles, a no-kick rear axel, zip-in weather and bug shields, three recline positions, and interchangeable bassinet and stroller seats. There's also an optional second seat (the $130 RumbleSeat) and a running board (the $90 Piggyback) to accommodate friends and siblings, allowing you to extend the functionality of the Vista as a double stroller. Reviewers say the Vista is comfortable for babies and parents and exceptionally maneuverable in urban conditions (it's not an all-terrain stroller).
