Great travel stroller--recs needed

We're making our first plane trip with a stroller next month, and we only have our huge honking stroller at home.  Can you tell me which lightweight, great for airports strollers you love?  DH and I are tall, so extra bonus points for tall-parent friendly suggestions.  Thanks!

  • We just took our Baby Jogger City Micro (which I previously said was a Mini.  Oops!) on a long haul trip to the Philippines.  It was a breeze.  It's super light weight to carry or push, it folds easily, and my tall 2 year old napped in it easily.  We gate checked it in the special carry bag (which was $30 extra) and it arrived without any issues.

  • I took our MacClaren on a trip and it worked great.  I am only 5'7" and DH is 5'11"....so we aren't super tall....but my grandpa has pushed it many times and he is 6'3" and he has no problems.

  • I love our Graco IPO, the handles are a great height (same height as the travel system stroller), it is very light weight and folds up nicely.  Bonus - it reclines, has a basket and a sun shade.
  • we have a chicco umbrella stroller. it has shade and does recline. it comes with a little travel bag that makes gate checking it a breeze. we barley use it if you want to borrow it for your trip. we are not going on a plane anytime soon. HA
  • I love our MacLaren Triumph. It's tall, which is great for my 6'4" hubs. My only complaint is that it tips over if the diaper bag is on the back w/o LO inside. However, that's typical for an umbrella stroller.
