rec ur lightweight/umbrella stroller

mbrum810 · August 2011

I have a full sized Graco stroller now. I'm pretty short, so its ALOT easier to just put DS in his stroller instead of the store cart because once he's in the store cart, I cannot see anything in front on me! LOL (insert ur own joke here ;-) ) I've been on a search for a lightweight umbrella stroller for store trips and our frequent out of town visits (we live out of state for both sides of our family). I cant seem to find any that fully recline AND have the 5 point harness. Additional wishes would be a visor to block the sun and basket on the bottom for my purse, etc and a drink holder. Anyone have one that they really like? I've looked around and I can't seem to find a good one. TIA!

We have the Chicco Lightway Stroller. It's a little more expensive ($129 on Amazon) but I like it a lot. It's easy to fold and unfold (truly one handed) and has a handle on one side to help carry. It fully reclines, too. I used it for the first time this weekend and it was smooth and DD even fell asleep in it.

We have the Chicco Liteway too but I'm not so fond of it. It's a PITA to fold (IMO) & half the time I end up throwing the POS in the back of my car all opened up. I read through the instructions too- but probably just stupid. I wish it were more like their KeyFit 30 which has orange pulls/buttons so you know where to look to open/close/recline. I'm seriously like the blind leading the blind with that thing. Also, DH wishes the handles were up higher- he's 6'4" though, so that could be the problematic part. I will say it's a smooth ride and it's really cute!

We have the Graco LiteRider and I really like it. We use it every day to transport Auds from car to daycare, and it's awesome. I can open and close it one-handed, and it's light enough that I can even use one hand to throw it in the back of my SUV.

DITTO! I have a double and LOVE it! Mine doesn't have a parent tray, but you can buy one. Or use the pockets in the back of the sun visor like I do. LOVE it!

I have not purchased an umbrella stroller yet, but I have been thinking about getting this one. It has great reviews- it is in between a regular lightweight stroller and an umbrella stroller.

I have this one as a hand me down from my sister. https://www.amazon.com/Kolcraft-Sport-Lightweight-Stroller-Blaze/dp/B004TIZV3U/ref=sr_1_8?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1312908372&sr=1-8

It works for a free stroller, but it doesn't recline enough and it doesn't have 5pt harness. So he just flops to the side. I am looking into getting a better one too.

I think this is one we will leave at my dad's house since he will be watching him during the week now. I know my niece used to climb out of this too when we got older with no problems. I think the 5pt will hopefully keep them in more secure.
