I'm on a roll tonight with all this posting! So we're looking for recs for a lightweight/umbrella stroller. We LOVE our BOB for most trips, but Joss is ready to move on from the snap-n-go as our lightweight option. Hoping to stay around $100...
I started out with a chicco Cortina TS. But taking it in and out of the trunk got to be tiring after a while because I have loose ligaments in my shoulder and it's painful. So I ended up ordering this one and I am soooooo happy with it!!! It's like the Quinny Zapp but it reclines. Which I like and needed for DD. The wheels come off and it can fit into the overhead on a plane which is very convenient as well.
I got it at strollers.com but I am not sure if they still have it. They do have it online at walmart.com and you can always do "site to store' with them and not have to pay s/h.
I found this one at Target on clearance last summer for $50. It's a Maclaren Volo. Very easy to unfold and fold up - great handle height - no complaints! Here's a pic:
Good luck in your search!

so we haven't officially used it yet, but we have a maclaren triumph and i love it! it's above your price range but ultimately i'm just endorsing maclaren strollers (we also have the easy traveller "snap-n-go" and adore it).
the volo retails for $119 at BRU so i'm sure you could get a deal somewhere or with a coupon. all maclarens fold up soooo small and are very light.
We have the Maclaren Triumph. We were going to get the Volo, but opted to upgrade to the Triumph. We spent a lot of time trying different lightweight strollers and we thought this was the best one. (We haven't gotten to use it yet, we still use our Graco snap-and-go!)
We are leaning towards the Triumph as well. Our friends purchased an Ignlesia (sp?) fron Buy Buy Baby. I think it's $120, but I think you can use their 20% off with that brand. Our friends wERE told that it was the "knock-off" Maclaren and it has a better recline.
