What is important to you in a stroller?
Do you want to be able to stuff lots of things into the baskets and so on? Do you need it to be easy to lift out of the car? These two things do not generally go together!
We have a Maclaren Techno XT, which is very light and has thus far been terrific - but it does not hold much in the way of shopping!
i found the bassinette handy in the early days as depending on the stroller, its how u turn it into a reversable one? so the bassinette faces the opposite way (well it does with the beema anyway). but in saying that i had to use folded up terry nappies to prop up bubbies head as she had reflux and hated lying flat in it. the only problem with the big fancy prams is their size in your car. we got a new car after bub was born and our pram didn't fit it so we ended up using that pram for walks around the block and a cheap target stroller for out and about that has different lying positions. its only really good for the shops though as the wheels are crap on the street.
I have the Steelcraft Enigma and LOVE it. It's light to lift into the car, compacts down nicely when folded, can be forward or rear facing (been told of recent newspaper articles talking of the benefits of having baby facing you for as long as possible to avoid unnecessary stress) and it has a nice basket underneat, and all the wheels do 360 degree turns. I lock in the back wheels and it steers beautifully. i can even hold DD in one arm and still steer it no problems with one hand.
