5 strollers perfect for mom
There are so many strollers out there and frankly it’s confusing. I basically drive Jessica crazy with stroller questions and thought it was time we posted her favorites. I also include two of my picks. These are MB’s 5 favorites that through trial and error and research we feel you can rely on as a new mom looking for your first stroller or a parent searching for that next stroller to last you for many years.

The iCandy is the new Bugaboo. No tire blow outs here this stroller from the UK is sleek, stylish, easy to push and is compatible with a bassinet & car seat. The storage is great regardless of the recline level your baby is at and the frame folds down easily. The best part is it can convert to a double when the time comes.

2. Phil &TedsVerve Stroller via Buy Buy Baby, $699.
When out of town friends visit New York , I always hear a comment that they cannot believe how older kids are still in strollers. Yes, we know non-city people but you try juggling a few kids on a busy Brooklyn street. The Phil & Ted Verve stroller is perfect for a mom looking to move to a double stroller yet does not want the bulk.
Cons: Frame is heavy

Toddler Friendly Stroller
5. Maclaren Quest Sport, $270. via diapers.com
A lightweight stroller with such features as four-position recline, ultra-light and compact (folded) chassis, smooth steering, and those signature Maclaren high handle bars. Comfortable seating.
Pros: Padded seat , Rain-cover included, One hand fold
Con: Sun canopy not too sturdy and doesn’t fully cover baby, minimal storage which urban moms need plenty of. Wheels seem to wear out sooner then most strollers.
