Stroller recs?

We have the Jeep Liberty stroller with rubber tires, which I totally love. Our problem is that it keeps getting flat tires! We live in the desert and there are these things called "stickers" or "goatheads" that grow on plants and are so sharp they puncture through bike tires, wheelbarrow tires, even shoes sometimes! They keep making the stroller tires go flat and I'm tired of it. I got the okay from my DH today to buy another stroller, as long as I keep it on the cheap end (I'm hoping for $50 or under). Any recommendations? I want something that I can walk on the road with but that is also small/light enough to go in the car for trips. TIA!

Re: Stroller recs?
We looked at both the Jet and the Ignite by first years and chose the Ignite - its a bit bigger and heartier and more like the Citi Mini. We love it! We get compliments on it all the time since it has a lot of features of the more expensive umbrella class strollers, but is much less expensive. It folds up super small and C can even nap in it.

Hm, I'm going to have to look into the Ignite, I've been drawn to the lightweight strollers every time we go near the baby section of stores and I haven't seen anything I love yet.
It's ridiculous! We are from western NY so they were completely new to us, but they get on EVERYTHING. They stick in our shoes, pant legs, the dog's feet... then they get tracked in the house and probably about once a day someone steps on one and you hear an expletive shouted.
We are trying to be better about that!
I ended up ordering the Contours Lite Stroller from Amazon. It was on sale for $54 and I guess is usually $119? I was actually leaning toward the Ignite, but we decided to go with this one. I hope it wasn't a mistake!
