Here is a list of things that I found important to look for or do when shopping for a baby stroller.
An adjustable handle not only makes the stroller more ergonomic, but if you can flip it down, that could be the difference between sliding the stroller right into the SUV and having to put it in sideways because the handles won't let you close the hatch.
Several of the models we tried required you to slide a button while twisting a stiff handle in an unnatural motion. They seemed to require three hands to fold up. Others could easily be folded up with one hand.
Some strollers were very difficult to figure out how to get them from a folded state back to the open state. Some snapped open very easily and intuitively.
Many strollers don't lay back all the way. The ones that do make it easy for baby to take a nap right in the stroller like in a crib.
