[quote=Anonymous]I'll also give a plug for the Uppababy Vista.  We live in a row house in Old Town, Alexandria, and we use this stroller every single day.  Handles well on uneven sidewalks (including bricks) and has lots of space underneath for carrying groceries or whatever.  It feels very study; I never worry about it tipping over.  Love the bassinet feature for the newborns.  We got the bassinet stand, too, it has proven to be a really useful to have it as an additional safe sleep space on the ground floor.  Also makes it easy to transition the baby from stroller to bed or vice versa, because you don't want to wake a sleeping baby!  We keep the stroller folded at home and the bassinet in the stand.  A bonus is that it converts to a double stroller later if you need it.  Downsides are that it is kind of heavy (not sure if you want to haul it up and down those stairs) and expensive.  However, I feel like we've gotten our money's worth given how often we use it.

As for car seat, we got the Chicco Key Fit 35 based on the excellent safety ratings.  It's also less expensive than some other models.  We got the converter so it can attach to the stroller, although truthfully we don't use that feature too often.  It is on the heavier side, but that hasn't been as big of a deal as I expected.

I also recommend going to Buy Buy Baby and trying out the different models that they have.
