Here's the bad news. There is no one perfect stroller. Your needs are going to change. Your child is going to grow. So don;t think that if you buy the Ferrari of strollers, the suddenly everything's going to be easy. Think about where your child is at that stage in life. When they are first born, you probably want something that you can take easily from the restaurant or the house into the car if your baby is sleeping. If you live in a place where you have to go up a lot of stairs, don't buy the fancy stroller that is super heavy. I think that one of the most important things is the ability to have the baby face you so you can look at your baby and see what their needs are. But chances are all the money that you will spend, you are going to have to buy another one when they hit that toddler age, and they have to do something else. So look for something that fits your house, your lifestyle, what you can manage, but don't think that only one is going to be the way of the future. You may find yourself with a couple along the way.
