Strollers
Take note of what other moms in your neighborhood are pushing. If you see one type of stroller a lot, it will probably work well for you, too. Remember that babies younger than 6 months need to recline fully (and all of our picks allow for that).
City dweller?
* It will have to fold fast if you want to catch a bus.
* It must be light for hauling down subway stairs or up to that fourth-floor walk-up.
* Choose one that's tough enough to withstand constantly going over curbs and potholes.
* For your child's primary mode of transportation, you'll want one that's outfitted for harsh weather (a rain cover and a "boot" to keep little legs warm).
good choices: Inglesina Zippy
Suburbanite?
* You don't need a "travel system" (the car seat may not be right for your car, and the strollers are often crummy). What you do need: a durable stroller that lets you attach a car seat.
* You'll want it to be easy to haul in and out of your trunk over and over again.
* Store aisles call for a narrow model.
good choices: Zooper Waltz
Country baby?
* Big knobby wheels will handle unpaved roads and grass.
* Shock absorbers keep your baby snoozing over bumpy hiking paths.
good choices: Phil & Teds e3
Are you tall?
* Even if only one of you is leggy, the handle height should be easily adjustable so you (or your partner) won't have to hunch over.
* Try the stroller before you buy. Check out the overall design to make sure your long stride won't leave you with bruised shins.
good choices: Combi Savona
