Lightweight stroller recs

My daughter is almost 5 months old. We currently have the Britax B Agile stroller. We bought the travel system before LO was born. There are a lot of things I love about the travel system, but now that I've already upgraded her car seat, I feel like the stroller is bulky when just doing daily errands. Is there a good and inexpensive lightweight stroller that can be used with a 5-month-old and beyond?

    I like my Uppababy G-Luxe. It is amazing. Great recline, easy fold, and great UV sunshade. The seat is soft too.

    I also looked at the Maclaren strollers and the Aprica Presto.

  • The B-Agile is pretty lightweight.  I don't see how it is bulky.  Can you explain?

  • We started researching light weight strollers a few weeks ago.  I am an uppababy fan- love my cruz and so we spent a long time playing with and reading about the g-luxe uppababy.  However, we really fell in love with the MacClaren Quest.  It was expensive- but at BBB you can use the 20% off coupon and it comes down to the same price as the uppababy.  It seems like a really nice ride. 
  • I'm actually looking into a B-Agile for travel and as a lightweight option for DS. (will also be taking the G-luxe for DD)  Curious what is bulky about it??

    We currently have a G-luxe and it is a great umbrella stroller but wouldn't want it to be my everyday stroller.  Also have an UBVista, a BOB single and an Bumbleride Indie Twin.  Strollers are taking over my garage!

  • I find the B-Agile to be long. I've hit things with the front wheel. I'm better about it now that I've gotten used to it. I wanted to see if there was something more compact for everyday errands that's under $100 for an infant. Maybe I have to wait until LO is able to sit up on her own?

  • When she is six months old you can get first year's ignite umbrella stroller or the jet. Both are around $50.
  • Maclaren is definitely the way to go. Lightweight should be 10 pds or less, and with a lifetime warranty, these badboys are my new best friend. I just received my Globetrotter in Crown Blue and I absolutely love how easy it is to maneouvre, and just how lightweight it is. Also they are hot looking, I can't believe how many moms push ridiculous monstrosities of plastic strollers around without a thought to how crazy they look.
