Tips from friends with children
Stroller: important features . . .Light weight yet durable. This is obviously a trade off. But just think about what you want it for . . .If you are constantly folding it down, putting it in the car, taking it out, opening it up, then repeat . . . for every place you take the darn thing, you're going to need to be buff to handle a huge clunky stroller in this manner. But . . . if you get the total lightweight model . . . by the time you've done this for 6 shopping trips to Target, the thing might fall apart or lose a wheel.
Best bet: test drive them in the mega store and practice folding it down and putting it in the back of your "car". This will help you decide what is best for you. Find one you like, and then buy online or elitecarseats.com for a HUGH discount. I manage to fit our Chico in my VW beetle, so you don't have to buy a Tahoe just to have a kid.
Suggestion #1 - get a universal car seat stroller - this is only $50, weighs 7-8 lbs (since it's just a frame) and carries your little baby's car seat carrier - several brands will fit in the universal stroller, which your sleeping baby will be in for 6 months to 1 year. Then when baby is bigger and wants to sit in a stroller by themselves (without the car seat carrier), you can get a big old clunky, I mean durable, stroller.
