After hours of wracking my brain, I found an old post regarding lightweight strollers, specifically the Cicco Liteway and the Plus version that comes out at the end of January. Tell me about your experiences with the Liteway. How is maneuverability? Does the size of the wheels concern you? Is it flat enough to put an infant in from the beginning? (I'm getting mixed information from websites.) Have either of you actually seen a Liteway Plus? It looks like the only major difference is the ability to use the carseat. An other thoughts? 

 

Thanks, ladies!

Thanks, Grace! I went and looked at it in person yesterday, and I think I'm sold. :-)As long as the new one really does have full recline. I'm having a June baby, so I won't the convenience  of the car seat adapter, but I also want to just use the stroller if it gets too hot. The wheels do look small in the video, but I was pleasantly pleased with them in the store. Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing that...you're right, it does look like it doesn't fully recline. I guess I'll just have to wait another month and see it in person to be sure. After nannying my niece when she was 6 weeks to 3 months, I get the convenience factor of the car seat, but I actually loathe them. I definitely would prefer a stroller that can do it all, and might need to keep looking around. These are both definitely ones to keep in mind, though.

GL!  I have yet to find a single stroller that can do it all!!

Does that mean you've found the elusive, perfect double stroller for me?

I haven't actually tried out the Liteway or Liteway Plus myself.  I am just waiting for the Plus to come out to BRU so I can go check it out.  For me, the convenience of having the snap n go option and a lightweight stroller in 1 is what I am so excited about.  It seems like a good fit for our family with a new baby on the way and #2 wanting to walk a lot.  

I also found out that Cybex strollers accept a car seat so that's another option I am considering.  However, I really like that I can just click the carseat in on the Plus vs attaching it with a strap.  I'm a sucker for convenience.  I also really like the Valco Snap so it's another you may want to look into.  They are all lightweight strollers that work with a car seat and I believe the Valco and Cybex are suitable from birth but don't quote me on that!
