Inglesina Urbe

According to early reports, the main issue with the Inglesina Urbe is its weight. At 18 pounds, it's quite a bit heavier than the norm for an umbrella stroller. Parents say the Urbe is similar to the top-rated Inglesina Zippy (*est. $300), but without the excellent one-hand fold. Highlights in early reviews are its fully reclining seat, large canopy and adjustable leg rest. While early reviews are good, we found more support for umbrella strollers in the Maclaren lineup, including the Maclaren Triumph (*est. $120) and Quest (*est. $225).

Because it's so new, the Inglesina Urbe has yet to show up in many reviews. The only notices we could find about this umbrella stroller are from a few parents posting to the Baby Bargains forum (the Urbe is mentioned in the Baby Bargains book, but not evaluated). The Inglesina Urbe is also the subject of a writeup at Target.com. Hopefully, the Urbe will soon be reviewed by other sites like Consumer Reports, Baby-Gaga.com and StrollersAndPrams.com.
