Recommend Your Lightweight Stroller!

We have a Baby Jogger City Classic, which I use for walking and running, but we really need something more compact. We plan on spending less than $250. What do you have and why do you love/hate it?

Thanks!

Re: Recommend Your Lightweight Stroller!

    I don't know if this is really lightweight, but I love my Chicco cortina stroller. I'm 5'8 and I have a Saturn Ion, I have no problems loading and unloading it out of the car, it turns on a dime, and folds and unfolds easily.

    My only complaint is that while she's in the carseat, the stroller seat itself has to be down flat, and that limits what I can put in the basket, so I use mommyhooks to hang my diaper bag from the handle. HTH.

    We have the combi cosmo ex and like it.  We have used it a few times and it has a good recline so it was ok for E even though she isn't sitting up by herself yet.  Our other stroller is the quinny (which I am totally in love with!) and we think both handle well.  The cosmo folds down so small and compactly but the seat still seems comfy.

    We have a chico capri and it's perfect for us. It's super light, easy to travel with, DD is comfortable and it was under $100. If I wanted to spend more money I would have bought the maclaren triumph, it's an awesome stroller! It just wasn't right for us at the time :)

    We have an UppaBaby G-lite.  We just got it for Christmas and have not used it a whole lot yet, but we've been pleased so far.  Our other stroller is a Bob, so I feel your pain on the big jogging stroller problem.

    It's in the running. We are pretty torn between it and the Maclaren Quest. I don't know if it would be silly to buy almost the same stroller though, but I love my classic.

    What kind of car do you have and how does it fit?

    We have a Combi Flare.  I like it b/c it is insanely lightweight and has a carrying strap on the back so you can sling it over your shoulder.  We got it because we are going to be doing some air travel this summer and don't want to have our Phil/Teds damaged on the plane (my friend's Peg Perego car seat was destroyed by the airlines).  The other thing I love is that it was recently on clearance at BuyBuyBaby for $70!!
