Stroller Suggestions

dkays

Yesterday was T's first full day out at softball.  My DD and Niece both play so we watched a total of 4 games.  T was a trooper.  She didn't fuss the whole day and we were away from home 7 am - 5 pm. 

Here's my question,  we have a Chicco Capri stroller and a full size Kolcraft one that is big and bulky.  I used the Capri yesterday but realized T needs something else to be comfortable all day. We don't have enough trunk space to take the full-size one and all the softball stuff.

I think we need one that is lightweight, reclines all the way back and has a tray. I would also like one that is taller because I am 5'9".  I been looking for one online but I'm not sure about the reviews. I'm trying to find something for about $100.

Any suggestions? TIA

No suggestions since I have a BOB and that would take up your whole trunk plus it's way more than $100 although it's an awesome stroller.  But I am shocked that T would sit in a stroller all day!  You are so lucky!  If you're trying to save space what about a back carrier instead?  That wouldn't take up any trunk space and you can buy a good one new for $140 (Ergo or Beco) or try to find a used one.  S will let me wear him for much longer than he would sit in a stroller.

Hmm... if your budget wasn't only $100, I'd probably suggest a Peg Perego Pliko P3 stroller. My SIL lent us hers (my nephews are long past their stroller days) and it folds up pretty small but is a full size stroller once opened. But they're around $300.

Otherwise, I don't know of any compact fold, lightweight strollers that have trays.

We have a Britax Blink for our compact stroller. No tray. But my DH (6'2") has no issues pushing it around.

I would recommend a City Mini. It is very light, folds with one hand but meets all you specs. A bit more expensive than 100 though.

The price tag makes it tricky...  You could check Craigslist for one of the ones mentioned, maybe you can get a fabulous used stroller for that?  You can get some good deals on CL.

Thanks girls!  I had a suspension that I would need to fork over some cash to get what I want. 

Teagan was good about sitting in her stroller during the games.  In between the games, she was a princess with a softball team to entertaining her.

Do you know anyone who actually has one of these?  It didn't have very good reviews online.  Thanks!

Sorry, no. I'm umbrella stroller shopping myself and will have to get back to you when I actually visit our babies-r-us.
