I just bought one for a shower - what I was told to look for was ease of use-- ie can you collapse it and put it in the car - one handed - and take it out of the car with one hand...

Not too heavy.
Will grow with the baby
a place to store baby stuff...

You might actually want two strollers - -a pram type for taking the baby out for walks - and a smaller umbrella style stroller for when you are out and about the town.

Go to the store and try them out - and see how easily you can use them...

If you are tall and have longer legs - some strollers will drive you nuts because when you walk- you will constantly kick it (running strollers are great if you have a long gait)

I saw the coolest thing the other day when I was in the train station... There was a baby that was in a car seat -- looked all comfy -only the car seat was on wheels and had a telescoping handle like luggage - the car seat became the stroller - which was kinda cool, but there was no storage place and the baby was low down.. so if you hit a puddle - thebaby would probably get splashed
