We thought we would kick off our new Baby 101 Shopping Guide series with one of the most overwhelming first purchases as a parent-the stroller. The options are endless so we thought we would narrow it down with some of our favorites. If you have a favorite stroller and it is not listed here, tell us about it!
Travel Systems
The Quinny 3-in-1 travel system comes with the stroller, maxi-cosi infant car seat, and carrycot (bassinet). Some of the standout features include an adjustable push bar which is crucial for taller parents, a fully reclining seat which can be placed in a front or rear facing position, and a highly maneuverable front wheels which rotate 360 degrees with a lock option. This travel system will set you back about $730, but you are paying for the adaptability of this great stroller which allows you to use the car seat, stroller seat, or bassinet with one sleek and modern looking stroller.
Where to find the best prices in sites for Quinny Travel System:
