A good walking stroller?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Hi all.  DS is 21 months old.  I'm trying to figure out what stroller to buy him for walks this spring/summer/fall.  Right now I have the Chico Travel system stroller but it's a bit bulky.  I also have a Graco Umbrella stroller that I hate.

I know people love the City Mini and BOBs and whatnots, I just cringe at the thought of spending $300+ for a stroller.  I'm not looking to jog, I just want something that is comfortable for him and me on walks, and something with a decent canopy to block the sun.

Any suggestions?

Side note - We are thinking of having #2 next year, I'm thinking a double won't really be worth it since DS will be 3.  Thoughts/opinions on that one?

    We borrowed a Combi Cosmo stroller when we went to Texas after Thanksgiving.  It was very light, comfortable to push & DD seemed happy in it, easy to fold (and small) and the sunshade worked great,  I think they run closer to $150.

    I love my Citi Mini for walks.  We've used it so much that the wheels are showing the wear.  Why don't you just look for one second hand?

    ETA: We do mostly city walks in it, but our sidewalks are jacked here, so it's like off-roading ha

    I have a Baby Trend jogger and used it for both walks and jogs.

    I'm considering a City Select - you can switch it between double and single if you get all of the pieces. the price tag is the only thing stopping me at this point.

    I have a phil & teds- my friend abused it for 5 years with her kids when they lived overseas and didn't have a car, then passed it to me. I bought new tire treads for it and I love the thing for walk. Other than the wearing out the tire treads it is s
