Stroller recommendations

I've had it with our travel system and am looking for a new stroller.  My husband is a runner, so maybe a jogging stroller that can also be used as a regular stroller.  I'm looking for something lightweight and compact to fit in the trunk. With all this said, we don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it either.  I've looked at some joggers, but they only go up to 27 lbs and DS is on the chubby and already weighing 21 lbs.  Any recommendations would be helpful!  TIA!

    You're not going to find a jogger that is lightweight and compact. You can have one or the other; jogger OR lightweight/compact.

    We have a city mini and it's lightweight and compact and we really like it. It's not for jogging though. We are getting a BOB for me to run with. I wouldn't use a BOB as an everyday stroller as it's way too big.

    We ended up with both a jogger and a compact stroller.  In order to get the jogger into the trunk of the car we have to take the front tire off.

    For a compact stroller, we got a Maclaren Triumph.  It's freaking awesome!  I bought it used from someone on Craig's List.  Goes up to I think 50 lbs, folds up and fits nicely in the truck, I don't  have to hunch over when I am pushing it.

    I have the Britax B-Agile and cannot say enough great things about it. Super lightweight. easy to fold, fits great into my tiny little Mazda 3.

    I love my city mini stroller. It is lightweight and folds very easily. We started out with the Graco snap n go for when LO1 was in the rear facing Graco carseat in the first few months.

    Try the Bob Motion or City Mini GT. Both have bigger wheels but not as big as a jogger. Both front wheels can be fixed for light jogging but can also swivel for normal use.
