Looked everywhere... this is the one., February 23, 2009

I've been using this stroller since my son was born (he is 11 months old), and it is as good as you can get. Full recline for an infant- we just added a Kiddopotamus snuzzler for extra support, so you don't need more than one stroller as your child grows. Folds very compact, fits in my Saturn ion trunk, along with a full load of groceries or overnight bags or whatever. It's lightweight, so I can toss it in my trunk one-handed. It has 5" wheels so you can even off-road with it (we've taken it on trails) and still have a relatively smooth ride. But the best thing about it is that it is a TRUE one-handed open and close feature. I can set it up and take it down one-handed in the parking lot while holding my baby. The only thing you have to remember is to lock the wheels when closing it up; this you can do with your foot. Awesome. It was worth every penny.

I love this stroller!, February 14, 2009

I love the zippy because it is really easy to fold up. You really can do it with one hand (most of the time). The one downside in folding is sometimes the front wheels turn as you fold it, which can make it a little cumbersome, but most of the time I can easily fold it and pack it into the trunk while holding my baby. When my baby was first born, I strapped the Graco Snugride seat into this stroller, which worked just fine although I would have preferred that it snapped in rather than tied on. But since it was a different brand, I wouldn't really expect that it would work that way. The stroller is easy to control and comfortable to use.

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.

There's no mention of testing methodology in this write-up, 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.

6. 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.
