combi (http://www.combistrollers.com) Notes: Cool fabrics but small cargo baskets. However, they tend to be ultra-light with reasonably good construction.

century (http://www.centuryproducts.com) Notes: If you're buying used, be careful when you check out older Original 4-in-1's as there was a recall on the car seat (Century says that model, the 590, has been phased out). We bought the TraveLite, you can check out the Stroller System Taste Test to see why we chose Century over Evenflo.

cosco (http://www.coscoinc.com) Notes: Evidently Cosco strollers are made in the same factory as Combi, but what that means for quality I don't know. These strollers didn't really strike me in any way but the stroller seat/bassinet feature seemed like potentially useful.

stroller	Rock 'n Roller Stroller	not found	not found	Stroller: seat rocks or stationary, seat removable as bassinet, faces front or back, 4 position fully reclinable seat, double front swivel wheels, deluxe model includes boot, suspension ride.
peg perego (http://www.perego.com) Notes: These strollers are expensive but from what I saw, they'll take a serious beating. Pros: Well made, nice features, will very probably survive multiple kids. Cons: Neither cheap nor light, and I hear their customer service is spotty. All in all, if you anticipate spending a lot of quality time with a stroller (ie, if your forsee this stroller as your primary baby transport), you could do a lot worse than to invest in one. Just don't fall prey to Stroller Envy.
