The Stroller System Taste Test

As you can see by looking at the chart, all the features are roughly the same - carrier, stroller, wheels, brakes. That's everything, baby. The differences are minimal - 4 wheel suspension ride on the Century, S handle and stroller bar on the Evenflo. However, the Century components were considerably lighter, especially the carrier - almost 5 lbs lighter than the Evenflo. Add 10-15 lbs of baby and every little bit counts.

I also found the On-My-Way stroller needlessly difficult to collapse. Yes, even with the instruction manual right there. I figure if I couldn't even do it taking my time in the store, there was no way I'd want to try it in a rainstorm with a crying baby.

Brian liked the S-shaped handle on the On-My-Way carrier but overall, the Century was the better bet for us.
