lightweight stroller for infant?

We're looking for a lightweight stroller that folds up a little more compact than our jogging stroller. Plan on needing it when baby is around 3 mo old. I've noticed a lot of the lightweight strollers don't say what age to start using them. I did come across one that said not til 6 mo. Does anyone know of a good lightweight stroller that we can use for our baby as young as about 3 mo, that's not too pricey?

Edited to add: I'm thinking we shouldn't just use a cheap umbrella stroller at that age.. is that correct or am I wrong?

 

TIA!

    yea I don't think you are supposed to use an umbrella stroller. I don't know if you consider in inexpensive but the city mini folds compactly and is fairly light weight. You can use it from infant to much older...I don't remember exactly but I see big kids in them all the time here. Its around 220$ on amazon.com

    I was in search of the same thing. Check out the Bumbleride Flyer - it's 19lbs and has multiple reclining positions and for an extra $60 you can order a footmuff that converts it to a reclining pram-type stroller.

    What car seat are you using? A lot of the infant car seats have a really lightweight frame you can snap the seat into. I'm using a graco snug ride and got the frame. It's so light and very easy to use. Baby trend makes the snap n go frame and graco has the Snugrider car seat frame. Both available at BRU

    We have a chicco liteway stroller. I think it was 140 from babies r us. We used it for dd#1 but I like that it also reclines so she can nap in it as well.

    Ditto this.

    We use the snap-n-go frame for mall trips, etc. and the jogging stroller for our daily walks. The frame stays in the car and the jogging stroller stays mostly in the house/garage.
