A good stroller is a necessity for any parent. Without a stroller, taking the baby to the doctor, the park, the supermarket, or anywhere else becomes next to impossible.

Baby Stroller Overview

Most of the standard strollers you see today are called carriage strollers. They have reclining seats that can be adjusted to serve as a carriage (with the baby laying flat his back) and a stroller (baby sitting up).

The adjustable seat gives parents the flexibility to let junior look around and enjoy the view, but also put the seat back so he can nap in comfort. The stroller should easily fold for storage, and it typically includes a front bar, a basket for storage and perhaps a cup-holder for mom or dad.

A twin stroller is exactly what the name implies: a stroller for two. There are two basic types of twin strollers. The tandem stroller and the side-by-side stroller.

Increasingly popular today is the Travel System. A travel system is basically a carriage stroller that comes with its own infant carrier that can pop in and out of the stroller. It will also include a base so it can be installed as an infant car seat.

When you go shopping for a stroller, be sure to test out the different models. You'll be using it a lot so make sure it is comfortable for you. Take it for a spin up and down the store aisles. Pick it up and feel how heavy it is. And be sure to spend time folding and unfolding it. While many models are easy enough to close with just one hand, others require a degree in Engineering to fold for storage.

The following baby stroller review looks at four different strollers, including a Graco standard stroller, two twin strollers (one a Peg Perego and another an Evenflo) and a Graco travel system stroller.

Baby Stroller Reviews

Author: Martin Smith

One way of deciding if a particular stroller is right for you and your baby is to test it out. Another way is to look at reviews of the baby stroller to see how it stands with those who have already used the same model you are looking at. The reviews of four different stroller types will address the pros and cons of each particular stroller.

The Graco Duo-glider - Metropolitan Standard Stroller is a multiple stroller and definitely has more pros than cons however, the decision is strictly yours to make. The seat of this stroller lies flat, it has a great price and great accessories, and it folds small for its size. The extras are nice, there is a five-point harness, and it strolls nicely. There is a huge storage basket under the seat, it is easy to open and easy to get in the car.

The cons of the Graco Duo-Glider is that the basket cannot be reached when the seat is lying flat. The seat sides need more support. The cup holder on the front seat must be removed to shut the trunk of the car.



The Peg Perego Duette MT - Black Sable Twin Seat Standard Stroller is durable, has full suspension, and reclining seats. This is an easy to push stroller and it has a smooth ride. The seats can face each other and they both recline. It is narrow for shopping. Its design is high quality with lots of leg room and a five-point harness. There is a roomy seat area.

The complaints about the Peg Perego Duette MT are that it is large and heavy. It is expensive. it is hard to fold. It takes up a lot of room. There is no storage basket and this stroller does not collapse all the way.

The Evenflo Cititour Silver Star Twin Seat Standard Stroller has a comfortable rear seat. This stroller can handle up to forty pounds in each seat. It has soft and padded material. There is a toddler drink and snack tray. This stroller steers rather easily and there is easy access to the basket.

Complaints about this stroller include the fact that the parent tray falls down. The front wheels squeak and wobble after about two weeks of usage The front canopy is too small for a toddler. It is difficult to open and close. The fabric has a tendency to catch in the joints of the frame.

Let's take a look at the Graco Quattro Tour 7411 LV - Travel System Stroller is said to be sturdy. It is easy to clean and use. It has great features. This is a very safe stroller. It is a complete traveling system which includes a stay in the car base. The car safety seat detaches from the base and is attached to the stroller frame. The car safety seat also can be an infant carrier. It is an excellent snug- ride infant seat with a useful base. It has a large storage basket. It requires only one hand to fold it.

The complaints about this particular stroller are that the company needs to produce more girl colors. This stroller is very bulky and heavy. It is a pricey model. It is oversized and again very heavy.

The only positive statement about the Combi Tetra TS Crimson Standard Stroller is that it has cool colors. The wheels don't turn properly and the basket is inaccessible when the seat is recline. There are three reclining positions only two of which work. It unfolds but doesn't lock which poses a serious risk to you and your baby and the frame is made of cheap plastic.
