We are constantly being asked for the perfect stroller for New York City.  While of course there is no perfect stroller for every person, finding the right stroller for true living can pose a bigger challenge for many.  Recently New York Magazine rated 10 of the top contenders for best single stroller for New York City parents. 

Their ratings and specs are concise and to the point.  Best of all they catalog many of the urban living moments that many parents will recognize and sympathyze with (such as when a pregnant woman has to help you get your stroller onto the subway).   Overall I found their analyses to be pretty on target.  I would probably disagree most with the Orbit analysis since I have found it to have quite good one-handed steering but that is a small point.

Their big winner?  Depends what you want to be doing with your stroller?  For urban transportation, the Micralite Toro came out as a true favorite.   If you walking alot and pushing your little one over bumpy urban terrain, the Bugaboo Cameleon and Quinny Buzz seemed to be the victors in this category.  We wish they had also road-tested the Baby Jogger City Elite which as a great urban fold and air tires.

Definitely an article worth checking out for those looking for the perfect city stroller for one. . . we’re waiting for them to analyze good urban double strollers next!
