well...is this your first? Are you planning a 2nd one soon after?
If so, I'd recommend the Phil and Teds strollers - its a single stroller that can be converted to a double stroller - I just bought the Dash model. I'm expecting my 2nd (due June 15) and it will come in handy for outings out with both kids. Check out their website. They are pretty cool strollers.
If you aren't planning for a 2nd one anytime soon, I think the brands that you have been looking at are all good - of course the Bugaboo is top of the line  and looks VERY nice!
It really depends on your lifestyle and what you intend on doing with your baby.
I love that the Phil and Teds is SO manueverable (3 wheels - air filled, not plastic), it can be used a jogging stroller (but looks really good), the newborn baby can lie flat if necessary while the older one is sitting up. Its great that it can convert to a double stroller, without the bulk and width (its a inline stroller, not side by side).
Good luck! I know there are so many options and can get overwhelming! |

I have not purchased a stroller in 10 years but my Graco went through 3 kids, plus it was left out in the rain many, many times, and it is still going strong !! (Although I should prob think about giving it away now).
I would recommend that you get one with large wheels, so it will roll over anything including uneven sidewalks without jarring the baby. My Graco also had shock absorbers, again making for a much more comfortable ride when walking outside.
The one that Pug mentions that converts to a double stroller sounds interesting !
Good luck to you !! |

A few of my friends have recently had babies - two purchased the Bugaboo Chameleon, and the third bought the Quinny.
Both Bugaboo owners are recommending me getting one (my baby is due this summer). One of them previously owned a Greco for her first child, and wanted something smoother and that could be steered single handed while her older child held her hand.
The Quinny owner is also saying to go with the Bugaboo - she found her stroller to wide to fit in some doorways/grocery isles, didn't like the front wheel design and quality etc.
Not sure if that helps, however we are going to go with the Bugaboo. |

Thank you all.
My DH likes Graco Travel System, but It's too bulky for me, cause I'm petite. Also, I like the one hand fold stroller. I will pick from Bugaboo bee, Maclaren quest or PegPerego Aria. |
