Before buying a stroller, think about your lifestyle and your baby/childs' needs, like:

If you do a lot of walking, a sturdy and good absorb system stroller may be required.
If you travel frequently, a lightweight compact fold stroller will be ideal.

Frequent Ask Question (FAQ) before purchase:

• Is the stroller suitable to use for your baby/child? (i.e. Baby should lie flat most of the day, especially for the first 3 months)
  
• Do you want your baby to face towards you?
  
• Do you prefer a travel system, where you infant seats can be attached on stroller?
  
• Does the stroller have adjustable handle?
  
• Does the seat recline?
  
• Is a big shopping basket included? *very important for mom! trust me hehe*.

*info gathered from Sweet Cherry*

As for baby SN, I never did really buy him a stroller. His first stroller is a gift from Kak Sofiah when he was 2 months old. It was a MasBaby stroller and suitable for newborn baby as it can be set in lie flat position. We rarely used it during his early months and prefer to carry him around with his Combi Nanna Ninna baby carrier. However, as baby SN getting healthier (a.ka. heavier ); we cant avoid to not using the stroller at a place that requires a lot of walking and offers enough facility for the stroller.

(sleep like a baby in the lie flat position)

When we come back from Malaysia to Japan, baby SN receives another stroller as a gift from hubby's aunt. It was a Sweet Cherry City stroller. What I like the most about this stroller is that, it is light and easy to use, while hubby likes the locking after fold system on this stroller. Plus, this can also be set in the lie flat position and so far, baby SN seems to enjoy most of his time in the stroller.

(happy face as he has enough & comfortable sleeps in the stroller)

I personally thinks that stroller is very important for a baby especially when traveling at a place that requires a lot of walking (read : shoppping complex ) . Both baby & parents will be tired while traveling. Daddy/mommy wont be able to carry the baby for all day long and baby will be comfortable to sleeps in the stroller. ..*just like what baby SN always do, whenever we put him in his stroller*.... ekekekeke.
