IMHO ..
If you live in Dublin, the information evening hosted in Tony Kealy's each month is very useful. They demonstrate features of various model and, in my time, you're discouraged from buying on the night so it's a soft-sell approach. IIRC Mothercare do something similar.
While personal recommendations may be useful, it is a very subjective decision, e.g. price, ease of movement, how easy it is to collapse for storage. What one person may praise to the high heavens may be quite unsuited for you.
