What stroller is the best?

Hi,

We didn't have a car and used the Maclaren Techno XLR and Recaro car seat combination. We had to purchase this in the UK (May07 - not sure if you can get this in HK now, but at the time John Lewis offered to ship this to HK).
I think it was definitely worthwhile, and still use this buggy regularly.
It took a few trips before I was comfortable attaching/ removing the car seat from the buggy, but once I got the hang of it I found this combination great.
If I had to fault it - 2 things - the buggy seat needs to be changed to the flat position before attaching the car seat, and this can be a bit of a struggle when your hands are full (with baby, changing bag, shopping etc) - but probably no more so than with other combinations, and secondly my baby outgrew the car seat after about 7/8 months (tall baby), which was disappointing.

Hope this is useful :)

Happy Shopping :)
 
I'm also in the market for a stroller. I've actually been attached to Combi since using my friend's with her 18 month old in it. Hers is super light but it never ocurred to me that this would be unstable. I wanted the lightest one possible since it will be starting off with an additional 3+ kilos. The higher end ones are definitely worth it. They're also not bulky at all and quite suitable for city-living. I will definitely be buying a Combi here.
 
I have a Bugaboo Cameleon and just LOVE it but like others have said, perhaps not suited for what you require. I also have a Graco which is great for HK (big bag underneath for loads of shopping). I also like the Maclaren Techno's and Quests. Go and "test drive" a few and see how easy it is to fold down with one hand etc. Good luck!
