I'm looking to buy a lightweight stroller for my lo. I've been checking on BRU and all of these have good ratings, so I was wondering if anyone has actually has any of them and can give me some insight: The First Years Ignite Aprica Presto Britax B-Nimble Inglesina Swift Cybex Onyx Bumbleride Flite Chicco Liteway Or any other recs would be appreciated. I want something lightweight that reclines (doesn't have to recline fully). Price isn't an issue.
I have the Baby Jogger City Micro (one step lower than the mini) and the City Elite. I got the Micro because I'm going on a cruise and needed a light weight stroller. It reclines a little but not very much. There is no easier close system than the Baby Jogger strollers. You seriously, grab the handle, lift up, and it's folded in half. It takes less room in the car than a traditional umbrella stroller because it folds flat.
I had the Inglesina Swift. I say had- past tense. I got rid of it. It was awful. I didn't want to spend a lot and now I know- you get what you pay for. It was awful in the steering- very hard to push and turn.
I didn't know how bad it was until I borrowed a friend's Maclaren. I am a convert! I got a Maclaren Quest. My friend had the Triumph. Both are fantastic. I use mine everyday and it gets banged up a lot (subway, stairs, NYC streets). It has held up so well.
3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again
I have a Chicco Liteway (and a Baby Jogger City Mini).
There are pros and cons to each one. The Chicco is not a one handed fold. The Baby Jogger is though. The Chicco has a smaller footprint than the City Mini. I love them both but for different reasons. I use the Chicco as a the mall/store stroller and the Baby Jogger as a travel/all day event stroller.

I have the Chicco Liteway & love it! It fits great in my small trunk, is light weight, manuevers easily, and reclines completely, which is great when DS falls asleep while we're out.

I had this one but I kept kicking the wheels. Grrrr! So I returned it and got a Maclaren Volo and love it.

I have a Bumbleride Flite and Baby Jogger City Mini as my smaller strollers (we have an UPPAbaby Vista as well).
The Flite is not a one-hand fold, but it is easy to do with two hands. As others have said, there is no easier fold than the City Mini.
Another wheel kicker with the Capri! I'm 5'9" and it's a pain.
