Recommend your umbrella stroller

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
We are thinking of getting a second stroller for travel--our travel system stroller is so big and heavy!  I am looking for something really light and compact, but it should also be able to take a beating (it would be great to have something I could take on the subway). Cost is also a factor. Right now I am looking at the Combi Flare.  Anyone have experience with it?  Any other umbrellas that you love?

    I have the Chicco Capri. It's very cute and I like it for strolls around the mall and neighborhood.  It doesn't work well for faster walking because my feet hit the back wheels.

    I had a Chicco to try out, and I hated it. Kicked the wheels constantly, and my DH couldn't even push it because his feet were getting tangled in the wheels. I also could not get the straps tight enough around my DD, so she could get out (and this was when she was under a year).

    We have a Quinny Zapp and love it. It's great for using on buses and trains and airplanes. It folds up super small (I've fit it underneath a bus seat and a train seat before), is pretty light (I think 13 pounds), comes with a carrying case and rain cover, and DD is comfortable in it. DH and I don't kick the wheels at all. The basket is on the smaller side, but that doesn't really matter to me.

    Same here. The Chicco was my second choice.

    Cosco Umbria.  We got it on sale for $25.  It was well worth the extra $5 or 10 compared to basic umbrella strollers... it isn't any heavier, and it has a little canopy, the plastic piece that goes across the seat where you can put puffs and a sippy, and a tiny basket underneath.
