Recommend your umbrella stroller

ThatsMyGirl08

We are looking to buy an umbrella stroller (finally!).  Just curious which one you have and why you like/don't like it.

Thanks!

We have a Chicco C6.   I am tall and this was about the only stroller with long handles and I don't have to hunch over to push the stroller. 

I know many people rave over the Maclaren's, but I don't see anything special about them to pay that much $$$ for them!  I thought the $60 I paid for the Chicco was a bit pricey but the $20 strollers were just too short for me.

uppababy g-lite. it's awesome. easiest fold, stands on it's own when folded. turns on a dime, pushes straight with one hand. huge basket for stuff, can take the seat out so it's straight mesh for hot days. has a great sun shade. lightest stroller out there, great for everything. and it's about 100 on amazon in many colors. excellent company with excellent customer service as well

I like my Maclaren, although I don't like the lack of storage under it. Works well though. I'm a big fan of having shoulder straps, Aiden would jump out otherwise. Not sure all umbrella strollers have them.

I don't think all of them have shoulder straps either.  The Chicco one has shoulder straps too

we have the chicco liteway - $90 on amazon.

i absolutely love it, think its totally fantastic.  however, its a bit on the heavier side for umbrella strollers and we got it specifically for a trip.  if I was getting one just for going to the mall, I might get one with less features that weighed a bit less.

by far my most favorite part of the stroller is that it reclines perfectly flat - we changed a bunch of diapers in new orleans on it (even poop ones) and it was nice not to have to hunt for a changing station.  also, the recline is the easiest one to operate on the market (i think).

We have the Maclaren Quest.  I really like it.  I actually wish I'd gotten a jogging stroller because I do a lot of city sidewalk walking, and with the cracks and uneven sidewalks it can get a little tough.  But the Maclaren actually handles it pretty well.

I wish there was a larger selection here though.  It's not a cheap stroller, but there's not a lot to choose from that is cheaper and has comparable quality.

I have a Joovy Kooper that I adore. It folds easily, is pretty light, although not as light as a Maclaren I don't think, the storage is great and DH (6'2") and I (5'6") have no problems pushing it.

I would buy another one in a heartbeat!

Maclaren works great for us.

 Love the uppababy lite! Lightest umbrella on the market, tall handles, easy fold.
