smaller stroller?

addsloveaddslove
in Cincinnati Babies
We have a stroller which our carseat fits into and while it folds down to a nice size, it is pretty large to use when we're out in crowds, tight spaces, etc.  I'm thinking along the lines of Reds games and festivals we will go to this summer.  Do you have a smaller stroller you can recommend?  What do you like/dislike about it?  I would like something that folds up easily and that doesn't weigh too much.  Thanks.

    I test drove a Maclaren at BRU and I really want one, but they are a little pricey.

    I have this one:  https://tinyurl.com/pxfohf  and I love it!  I have posted about it on here before, but, now that I have used it many times, I can still say I am so happy with it.  I returned a MacLaren that I purchased the same day  when I found this one on greenbabybargains.com for $83.99.  They still have them for that price about once every few weeks.  It is smaller than a travel system stroller, but bigger and sturdier than your typical cheapie umbrella stroller.  Great for frequent outings! 

    If you just want an umbrella stroller to get extremely compact and super lightweight, my only suggestions are get one with a reclining seat, a sunshade, and buy a clip on cup holder.  It sounds like that might be more what you are looking for.  I was given one with none of those options on it, and we rarely use it because it is inconvenient.

    We have the Chicco Capri:

    I like that it is low maintenance.  It's compact, lightweight, folds easily.  It also still has nice features like a sunshade and a small basket underneath.  It reclines but doesn't fully recline, although we've never missed that.  DD is rarely not awake in her stroller, and the few times that she has taken a nap in it she seemed perfectly fine with the way that it reclines.  It doesn't feel chintzy at all like some lightweight/umbrella strollers do.  Oh, and it was about $100 less than the Maclaren I almost bought and gets the job done.  There isn't anything that I don't like about it... except for the fact that I'll soon have to trade it in for my ginormous double stroller.

    We have the Combi Ex and love it!  We took it to FL when DD was 3 months b/c we needed something smaller and lighter than our travel system.  It folds very easily and has a convenient carry strap to carry on your shoulder.  Some people say that if you are taller, they have trouble with kicking the back wheels but I have never had an issue with this              (and I'm 5'8").  I also like that the seat can recline which is nice, especially when she was younger....not all smaller strollers have this feature.  Our DD is 15 months old and we still use this stroller often!
