Recommend your lightweight stroller

bestmaid6 · March 2012

We have a Baby Jogger City Elite as our main stroller, but I'm looking for something lighter weight to keep at MIL's house (she watches LO during the day and is planning on taking him to her house a couple days a week during the summer).

I know Maclarens are great, but at $200+ dollars, I'd rather just buy a City Mini.

Any one have a lightweight/umbrella style stroller that they love? $100-$150, the bigger the sun shade, the better, though I fully intend on adding an after-market shade. I want something easy to push and with a fairly structured seat so LO isn't slumped over.

Thanks.

I bought a $30 on at BRU and DD loves it. It's very light, folds up very small, turns easily, and it has a small sunshade. Target had some on display for $20, but they were out. We have an Orbit stroller that I love, but we'll be flying in September and I'd rather not bring something so big. Plus, if it gets damaged, no biggie.

I got an insanely cheap one from BRU. I think it was on sale for $22.99, but it sounds like you want something more then that. DD does fine in it and it's better for running into a store or the mall.

I ended up getting the BJCM but I looked at the Chicco Liteway also. I liked the sunshade and that it fully reclines and is very light. You can usually find a good deal on them too if you stalk.

I have the Chicco Liteway and like it. It's the only stroller I have so far.

We really like the Uppababy Gluxe we bought for a recent trip. It's a bit over your budget at $169, but well worth it. I also looked at the Citi Mini, but this one is much lighter, so for travel, it won out. Plus it reclines, which is a nice feature for an umbrella stroller.

This. We LOVE our Uppa. Also, it comes with the huge sunshade you want already attached. Seriously though, we've had it for a few months now and it us awesome!
