You may know the brand Simmons best from crib mattresses and changing pads, but parent company Delta Children's Products is expanding the brand to include strollers.

Released this spring, the Simmons Pearl and Simmons Onyx strollers have the look of a super high end, $700 ride at a much lower cost. They're still not cheap, at $149-$199, but both are relatively light weight (15 and 18 pounds) and promise easy functioning.

The Onyx is billed as a "fully-loaded" and features a quick recline seat, multi-position canopy, five-point safety harness, swivel front wheels, front wheel lock, spring wheel shock absorbent and dual break system. It also fits in airplane overhead compartment.

The higher-end Pearl features a reversible seat unit with three-position recline that allows your passenger to face forward or backwards. It can also convert to a carriage and has an infant car seat attachment that fits Graco Snugride seats.

Strollers are available at major retailers and online at www.simplybabyfurniture.com.
