How to Choose the Right Stroller
- Newborn plan: decide between a bassinet, a seat that lies flat or a travel system with an infant car seat.
- Weight and fold: if you lift the stroller into a car or onto a bus daily, every pound and inch matters.
- Where you walk: larger wheels and suspension help on rough sidewalks, grass and gravel.
- Family plans: a single-to-double stroller saves buying a second one later.
- Travel: check your airline's rules before counting on cabin storage.
