  This is what I have

  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Jeep-Baby-Products-Cherokee-Sonar-Sport-Stroller/16767620

  It is cheap and I love it.  They sell other colors too, but this is the one I have.  It doesn't recline to a flat position but it does recline.  Violet has taken numerous naps in it.

  I asked this recently as well and I have researching for a couple weeks now about what I want to get (we also have the Vista).  I think I have decided on the Joovy Groove.  You can see a Baby Gizmo review on Youtube.  I wanted one that reclined also and worked for tall people because my husband is 6'4''.  It looks awesome.  I think I am going to order it online from Buy Buy Baby with a 20% coupon which should take it down to $160.  Not cheap but I want something that will last for more than just a couple trips.  It's only sold at Buy Buy Baby right now also.

  A few others that I am considering are

  Chicco Liteway

  Inglesina Trip

  Bumbleride Flite

  Peg Perego Si

  Uppbaby Gluxe

  Zooper Twist

  I originally wanted something just cheap but now I think I am going to get something a bit higher end so these may be more than you are willing to spend.

  I have the Uppababy G-luxe and it is great! I normally use the Vista but DH took it in the car yesterday and I needed a stroller. It is really comfy (the seat is very padded). DS seemed happy BUT I had a really hard time not being able to see him. I am ridiculous.

  We're going to the beach this weekend too and I hadn't even thought about our ginormous britax b-ready taking up too much space!  Time to shop!

  Anyone hear of the Maclaren Globetrotter?  It reclines and is the most inexpensive of the light weights that do recline.  Thinking of getting it

  We have the Chicco Liteway. I really like it. It fully reclines, is fairly compact so I can still fit other things in my trunk, and she seems to really like riding in it.

  We're taking our first long weekend away and I just started to pack last night....wow! The stuff multiplies when traveling w/ a LO.  We're going to a beach location so our car will be packed w/ chairs, umbrella, toys, luggage and our enormous UppaBaby Vista!  I don't see how we can possibly fit all so am thinking it's time to buy a light weight or umbrella stroller.  I did not want to be that person that has numerous strollers especially that we don't have room for all in our apartment and already own a jogging stroller.....I swore the UBV would be all I need but how things change once LO arrives :-)

  Anyway, if I am buying another stroller I would like it to recline so he can take his naps if we're out.  I looked into the UB G-Luxe but really don't want to spend that money.....do any of you have this stroller?  Is it worth it?  Any other light weight strollers you can recommend that recline?
  

  I was going to ask if you had a jogging stroller.  Our citi-mini reclines by pulling on something in the back (I had no idea it reclined until I came home to find my husband's aunt had had it like that) and it has a nice canopy.  It also collapses well.

   I used it everywhere I take him.

  I got the britax b-nimble because I was tired of lugging around our big stroller and wanted something lightweight and that would fit through small shops. I also wanted something that folded up like an umbrella stroller but reclined and had a basket.  I like it since it fits the requirements I had and it folds up really easily.  She seems to be comfortable in it and has even fallen asleep in it. The only downside is that it has a small basket but it's better than not having one.

  I decided on the Joovy Kooper.  It folds up like an umbrella stroller, reclines, has a large canopy (crucial for florida) and a roomy basket.  It was $120 @ amazon.
