Peg Perego Aria

$199.99

This was one of the biggest expenditures my wife and I made, right off the bat. We looked and compared to the Graco series of strollers and decided to purchase a Snug Ride car seat with the Aria for a stroller. Our motivation for purchasing: it was very light and easy to unfold. These two positives become completely overshadowed once you try to actually use the stroller.

First, the infant car seat was a pain to snap in. Second, this ended up being the hardest stroller to control when pushing. You have to keep both hands or the stroller takes a hard right or left when the wheels are not locked forward (which then necessitates both hands on the wheel to turn by leaning the stroller back). Long story short, save the money here as you will need it when you buy the convertible car seat. Don’t spend the $200 on this when you can get a Graco Quattro Tour for around $130 that works great. You’ll eventually be in a jogger and an umbrella stroller for about $20 that you will use for a much longer time.
