I'm looking to purchase a lightweight/umbrella stroller. I want something that will accommodate my son's growing height, a large canopy and handles great. I have the City Mini and Joovy Groove in mind but both have flaws to me. Any recommendations?
We bought the UppaBaby and love it. It is really easy to fold up and carry around. We actually got it to help with traveling. It has a kick-stand so it can easily be folded and then just stand on its own. Also, there is a very convenient carry strap. The stroller is lightweight and DS seems to really like it. He lounges out in it quite a bit. Overall, I am very happy with the stroller. The only downfall is that it doesn't fold up as small as I would like, but then again most umbrella strollers don't get as small as I would like.
We have the Chicco liteway. I didn't want a traditional umbrella...I wanted something more durable. It's been great for us. It has a little foot cover that folds up when it's cold, it has a canopy, it reclines and it folds pretty small.
