Need a New Stroller
We need a new stroller. The light weight we had from Korra bit the dust. The wheel keeps falling off, despite replacing the broken part repeatively. I think poor design is the culpret. And my friend is buying our travel system. DH likes to take Saxton for walks and isn't into wearing him, and I like a stroller for all day shopping excursions and going to interactive museums.
We need something of quality, that will last until we no longer need a stroller, folds like an umbrella stroller, is tall-ish (we're tall), has a basket, and is less than $200. A cup holder for myself as well as Saxton would be the icing on the cake.
Anyone know of a stroller that fits this bill?

I really like the design, the features, and what the company does.

OOH I like that baby planet one.
I found this one here a Maclaren Triumph. Anyone have one of these? Is it similar to the quest?

I like the monarch butterfly version better, but I wasn't sure if Saxton's daddy would appreciate that :P?
I like that Joovy!
The idea of being able to remove a seat to clean it is great!
Thanks so much for the help ladies!
I'm going to have to do some more research on the 3 I like, and next pay day looks like a new ride for Saxton!
I have to add how bummed I am about Korra's stroller. It's a BabyTrend and had super reviews. After we got it, all these bad reviews started being left on sites. Similar issues as mine. It's a pretty stroller and cleans well. I really liked it except for the whole wheel keeps falling off thing.
I hate to toss it, but at the same time, I hate to fix it yet again and donate it somewhere and the wheel fall off on them. Ugh.
I think when I babysat in NYC and pushed a stroller it was one of those Maclarens- I liked it, easy to push, logged a lot of miles on it and lasted for that family through 1.5 babies (they put the boogie board or whatever on the back for the older son when their DD came along.) I know it met it's demise after a trip to FL on an airplane, etc.
Anyway they totally abused the thing and got a lot of good service out of it and then they bought another. Great stroller- my only issue with it was you had to use both hands to push for the most part- couldn't push and make a phone call, etc. Not a big deal really, but I wanted something w/ one hand pushing capability.
I have that one (different color) and I really like it. We are tall too (5'9" and 6'1") and it works for us
ditto.
My one beef with this stroller is that the basket is tiny. You won't be able to really shove shopping bags or a diaper bag into the basket. I attach my diaper bag to the stroller handles, put coats across the top of the stroller, and then I can fit a water bottle, sippy cup, the not-in-use sling/mei tai and not much else in the basket.
This is just over the price limit, but looks like a great all around stroller:
