going to Mexico in Dec ... would love a stroller that is great to travel with (lightweight, great shade, recline would be terrific too)

THANK YOU!

I love my chicco lite way.  It reclines all the way back and has a cover for her legs. https://www.chiccousa.com/gear/strollers/liteway/liteway-topazio.aspx

if you need complete coverage this is a great add on

This is what I was going to recommend too!  I just got my Liteway yesterday and it is AWESOME.  It reclines all the way back so it makes a great napper and a FANTASTIC diaper changing area when you're out and there isn't one around.

 I got mine for only $107 with no tax and no shipping at JustKidsStore.com

Ditto on the Liteway, it's our travel stroller, it's as smooth as our Bugaboo-- which I did not expect- and it's great to fly with- and we have taken ours to Mexico and it did great, it rolled right over all the cobblestone roads and sand.

Is the storage basket on it actually fit stuff in it? We are looking at umbrella strollers to take to the zoo and Disneyland. The cortina is way too bulky to always fold up.

I just traveled to Florida with a Chicco Liteway and a Protect a Bub 3 in 1 shade.  The extra shade is somewhat of a hassle, but it was so worth it to be able to completely cover DS from the sun...no legs hanging out.  DS took 1-2 naps a day in the stroller because of this shade.

The Liteway is a really good stroller.  The recline works very well, it has removable front wheels (great for gate checking and when you want to leave the stroller somewhere...just pop off a wheel).  Its bottom bin is a string backpack.  It's a pain to remove (snaps are VERY strong), but we liked the feature because we could leave the bag attached and still stick things inside, hidden from view.

 I bought it because Babies R Us was selling a floor model for cheap and I didn't want to take my $350 Maclaren.

I debated between the Chica someone linked and the Graco Ipo, and went with the Graco Ipo.  https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3458512   I got it with DS1, so a different pattern.  I was looking for something with a full recline, shade, basket, and still collapsible.  It's bigger then the plain umbrellas, but worth it for the features.  We never got a bigger shade, but I love the one that another PP linked.  Have fun in Mexico!

Yet another vote for the Chicco Liteway. We got ours back in August and use it all the time now.  We got it to be our travel stroller, but I also use it for the mall and other trips like that.

It folds small, and is so light. We used it for 2 weeks in Hawaii, the shade is nice, and the full recline is great as well! DD took several naps in it.

GL and enjoy your trip!

I really like my Britax Blink- it reclines almost fully, has a large umbrella and the foot rest extends, and the basket is fairly assessible. We use it for travel and malls and really like it.

My stroller doesn't really fold (it's a two piece system) so I take the very last car of the tram at Disneyland. They don't make you fold your stroller in that one.

For umbrellas, I have the Mamas & Papas Tour. LOVE love, love it!
