Lightweight Stroller

[mtjoya]

Hello

I am looking to purchase a lightweight stroller. We already have the Chicco cortina travel system. I am looking for something lightweight that grandma can carry and push around with ease. I am looking at this one and I am looking for any thoughts/suggestions.

Thanks!

I have the quest (pretty much the same thing) and it''s a great stroller. Many moms love their maclarens. Check craigslist as sometimes you can find it for less if you are lucky.

Thanks, TGal. Diapers.com is having a sale that takes 15 percent off. We are going with the gray!

I like my Maclaren Volo a lot. I got it new for $70, and worth every penny. I have never missed the more deluxe features that some others have.

We have a triumph. I''ve used it for a few months now. My only complaints are that the sunshade is terrible and there''s no place for cups. We do everything outside. Even our major mall is outside so she''s in the sun a lot. Also, now that we don''t leave without a sippy with water it would be nice to be able to store it since dropping stuff on the ground is her new favorite sport. We did buy an extended sunshade from I think safety 1st and we''re going to buy a stroller organizer.

I don''t know guys I think I might go with a little cheapy one. I mean inexpensive. I feel bad buying an expensive one when I already have the other one.

Thanks for the suggestions though!

I was checking out this one. My mom likes it cuz of the color and price. Hmm.. I will get it since she will be using it more than I!

It comes out to 33.99 with the 15 percent discount. Oh well, if it messes up I will buy another one!

mtj let me know how you like it...at some point we''ll get an umbrella as well and not sure how much we want to spend.

I'm going to get an umbrella stroller after E no longer fits in the infant carrier anymore. Probably going with a Maclaren Triumph when they do a 20% off sale at BRU.

TDM, where did you get your Volo?

Steph, it was at Target. I don''t know why it was marked down so much. It was new in box.

Fiery''s points are good about the sunshade being inadequate and there being no good place inside for sippy cups etc. Definitely a valid criticism. It still works well for my purposes, though. I usually just use it inside the mall. For any longer outings or outside, I use my BOB.

LOL. I ordered this cheapy one. It''s prolly a play one for a doll or something. LOL..

FL Steph-I will see how it goes if not I will wait for the 20% at BRU.

TDM-Damn, that''s a great deal!

Mara-I bumped into a couple at Macy''s and they said that they love it. It''s sturdy and folds up tightly and it''s very compact.

We have the Uppababy G-Lux and it is wonderful! It is a bit pricey, but I got mine from gilt.com for around $100.00.

It handles great, even "off road" and it is super light and really easy to collapse and put back up.

Another UppaBaby G-Luxe fan here. I was planning on getting a Maclaren, but it seemed like there wasn''t one that was perfect for us - the lightest ones didn''t recline, they all have an inadequate sunshade, skimpy basket, no cupholder, etc. We have the UppaBaby Vista for our main stroller so we decided to give it a shot. We love it. It''s super lightweight, has a huge sunshade, folds easily and it''s the same cost as a mid-range Maclaren.

We also have a Volo and love it. I see them at TJMaxx and Marshall''s as well.
