Lightweight Stroller Help

Today Jeremy and I are going out to BRU to look for a new stroller...it's mainly for traveling. I was hoping you all might have recommendations. I don't need to spend a LOT of money on it, but I would like one that is sturdy, has storage underneath, maybe cupholders, and hold up to a 3/4 year old. I was looking at the Combi ones. The key is for it ( Read more... )

We have a MacLaren that I loooovvveee.. Its not super cheap, but worth EVERY penny thus far. Easy to fold, easy to travel with, lightweight.. I love it!

We have the Combi Savvy in Carolina Sky. DON'T GET IT.
When it's unfolded and the kid is in the seat - you can't hardly get anything in the basket underneath, and when you DO get something in there, it is a bear to get back out. There are no cupholders, and the wheels like to stick, so when you need to turn quickly or are trying to get into a door with the stroller without any help, sometimes the wheel stick and you crash into the door or something. I wish I had gotten a different one. We recently got a $20 umbrella stroller with a mesh bag that hangs from the handles and we love it. Simple. BUT...I wish I'd spent a LITTLE more money. I've seen lots of Moms walking around with the MacLaren strollers (the Volo or similar) and I really like those. No cup holders though....

I have the combi one that has the rounder sun shade and we love it it has a case that goes around it so when you check it at the gate it is protected. It is SUPER light and has a carrying strap. We got it at target for $20 because it was an internet return...so look for those!

We have the Graco Mosaic (Fiesta pattern)

It is:
1. Lightweight
2. Pretty sturdy
3. Has a decent sized storage basket underneath
4. Has one removeable cupholder
5. Holds up to 40lbs

We got ours at Target on sale for $80 and have been really happy with it.
