Many strollers claim to be easy to fold, but parents posting to review sites say the Inglesina Zippy stroller actually delivers and can be folded with one hand. The Inglesina Zippy also has the most important features: a fully reclining seat and car seat adapter for infants, plush padding that is removable and washable, a sun canopy and a rain hood. New for the 2009 versions are height-adjustable handles, rear wheel suspension and one-hand steering. For parents on a budget, the Graco Quattro Tour Sport (*Est. $170) gets high marks for features and ease of use, but reviewers say it doesn't offer the same long-term durability.
The most credible professional reviews of the Inglesina Zippy umbrella stroller come from ConsumerReports.org and "Baby Bargains." While ConsumerReports.org is known for its reputable independent testing, "Baby Bargains" has a more detailed write-up. The best user reviews of the Inglesina Zippy can be found on the parent forums of the book's web companion. There is also a credible report on this stroller at Baby-Gaga.com, where ratings are based on hands-on tests along with parent interviews. In addition, we found several dozen owner postings at Amazon.com.

Review: Strollers, Denise and Alan Fields, Eighth edition
This well-organized site offers ratings (based on parent interviews) in 11 categories. While strollers are not ranked, they can be compared based on scores. Overall, the Inglesina Zippy gets a good grade, with some points deducted for squeaky wheels and a flimsy cupholder. The one-hand-fold feature is said to be a big plus.
Review: Inglesina Zippy, Editors of Baby-Gaga.com
There's no mention of testing methodology in this write-up on People.com's Celebrity Baby Blog, but the coverage of features and functionality is up to date and thorough. The only downside mentioned is that the Zippy doesn't excel on public transport or rough terrain.

5. Amazon.com
It's a little hard to find parent reviews at Amazon.com for the Inglesina Zippy, because comments are spread out over several listings that vary by color and features. The one-hand fold is a favorite among parents posting here. Negatives include a smallish basket, spotty customer service and some ease-of-use issues.
