We keep a Peg Perego Si in our trunk and it's great- i think it would work really well on trips- especially if you're going somewhere hot- it has a FANTASTIC sunshade. The handles are adjustable if you're tall (husband is very tall) and the front wheels lock if you go over any rough terrain. It has a lot of full-size stroller features but is super light and folds with one hand.
Re: please recommend your light weight travel stroller......
Love my Chicco capri also. Its light and I love the little recline feature also.
Certain colors are cheaper on Amazon. I got the blue (Topazio) one for 58.88 which I thought was a good deal.
