Umbrella Stroller Recs?

Hi,

I was in Babies R Us today and looking at strollers.  I went in wanting the city mini, then I looked at the Maclaren Volo and loved that.  THEN I started looking at other umbrella strollers... they're actually not that bad!  I wondered if anyone had a recommendation for a brand or anything.  Of course, I'd love one of the MacLaren but I was actually just thinking of getting one of the cheapo Babies R Us brand ones instead. 

We're going on a trip to Europe, so we're looking for something lightweight and portable. 

Recommendations?  I'd like to keep it under $50... Bonus if I can buy it at Target, because let's face it, Target is awesome.  Oh, he's almost 2 and 30 pounds, if that matters.  Storage would be awesome, but I realize that I'm unlikely to get that with an umbrella stroller.

    I'm a fan of my Uppababy G luxe but that's up there with the Maclaren.

    In your price range look at the Jeep and First Years umbrella strollers. I think the Jeep has a recline.

    We have The First Years Jet Stroller and LOVE it! I bought it when we were flying over to Europe and I thought if it gets smashed in the transfer so be it. But here we are almost a year later and it is still my fave 'keep in the trunk' stroller.

    if you want a Maclaren, check out locak baby consignment shops. i recently saw a practically new Maclaren at one store here for $60.

    We have the First Years too, which we bought 2 years ago from Amazon for our trip to Hawaii.  Now, we use that stroller more than our other two.

    I picked up one of the cheap ones at BRU just to have.  We've only used it a few times but no complaints.
