There is a Maclaren Quest in a pink fabric on babydealz.com for $129...this is an amazing deal! If I had a girl I would have definitely bought this stroller!  If you are looking at the Maclaren umbrella strollers, this is still techinically an umbrella but with a few more features. The Volo is their cheapest and lightest umbrella at under 7 pounds, but it doesn't recline at all. The Triumph is next, but it only reclines a tiny bit- I was shocked when the guy at BRU told me it WAS reclined. The Quest is next, I bought it today, and it has 4 recline positions. It weighs 12 pounds, but the recline was important to me. So, if you are at all considering the Maclarens, this is the best deal that I found.  If you want a different stroller and you find it online, check and see if diapers.com carries it and they will price match and ship for free over $49. Most of the stroller sites I found will only ship for free over $100 and you can find a Volo in the $80 range. HTH...sorry to ramble!

Thanks so much! I will look into it...I want one that reclines also. My trip overseas is in May and Macy will be in that stroller most of the day. Thanks again.

BTW, does the year of the model make a difference on the stroller?

The only changes that I read about between 2006-2009 models were fabric choices and the back wheels used to each have a brake/lock that you pushed with your foot and the 09 model put a brake in the middle back that operated both wheels. I read a few reviews and most said that if you could find an older model with a cheap price to go with that because the new brake was no big deal.  I didn't do any kind of extensive research on this, but almost everyone I talked to recommended the Maclaren and I found it at a good price.  HTH
