Mom-Tested Best New Strollers from Parenting.com

There are a lot of choices out there in the stroller world. If you're looking for strollers that are easy to fold and store- Parenting.com has the review roundup for you. Our pick is this Inglesina Zippy that folds up with one hand and stands on its own. Love the color combos too.

Nothing too shocking here. The MacLaren Quest Sport gets good reviews for being both lightweight and sturdy.

Other contenders:
• The UPPAbaby G-LiTE weighing in at just 8.3 pounds.
• The BOB Revolution 12" AW is a great running mate.
• The Mutsy Spider has a unique design and has a height adjustable handle.
• We can't forget the Bee. We're sick of seeing the Chameleon in our neighborhood-the Bee is a refreshing option if you simply must have that little swirly symbol.
• The Quinny Zapp wins most foldable compact available.

Have you tried any of these? We're especially curious about the Bee and the Quinny Zap. Do we have any mom testers of our own out there?

the bee, which I have, is the shiz-nits. Its a good combination on price (which I know is high), portability and easily stored. We walk this bad boy down rough bluestone sidewalks and our kid passes out because the ride is as smooth as my grandmother's old 76 Caddy.

We also like how easy it is to use (such as changing positions, etc).

As a nonparent (or not-yet-parent), perhaps I ought not comment, but I'm really disappointed to see the phrase "Mom-tested" being bandied about, especially on AT, especially in 2007. I realize it was used in the original Parenting magazine article, but why perpetuate its use here? Why not ask for mom and/or dad testers?

I'm very happy with the Quinny -wears like iron. As for Inglesina, once you start having problems it just goes down hill quickly.

Also, 2 cheers for wordling -I couldn't agree with you more!

What about the Orbit? I thought that was the most user-friendly and well designed stroller on the market right now... Not even on the list? Anyone have any experience with it?

I have the bee- a recent purchase because my frog was a little too big for my subaru wagon. I love that it is solid and well padded, but I always feel like my baby (7 months) looks like she is hanging off the bottom of it, and I don't really get the "wings." Maybe to help her not fall out of it?! After being a four year frog user, I'm a little spoiled, you just can't beat it for kid comfort.
