I have a full size Graco which I really like but do not think will be good for walks around the neighborhood and park…have not tested it yet though either. Thinking about returning it, keeping my lightweight Maclaren for every day use and getting something else. I would like to occassionally jog with it as well. Are there any good joggers other than the BOB that are more affordable?
I am looking for an umbrella or lightweight stroller that reclines and has a basket underneath. It would be nice to have a cup holder but that isn’t necessary. Also, easy to fold would be nice too. I have a 3 1/2 year old who weighs around 28 pounds and am tired of my big bulky strollers. All the cheap umbrella strollers I had with my older child I hated. I have looked at Maclaren but know they are kind of expensive. If someone can explain the difference between the high and low model Maclaren’s that would be great. I think I might buy one from a consignment shop. I also was looking at Chicco, Combi, and Graco. Which is the best?
I prefer umbrella over lightweight because it folds smaller but any info. is great! Thanks!
I’m looking for a new stroller for my 10 month old. the only one we have is the one that came with our graco travel system and that’s just way too big to maneuver around. I can’t find anything on craigslist that we’re looking for so we’re going to buy new.
I need one that’s not too expensive I guess, and one that folds easily and compactly. The travel system one doesn’t even fit in my trunk.
I was thinking of a mid-range price one — does anyone have the chicco umbrella strollers?
like this:

I’d love a Maclaren but they’re too expensive. should I just suck it up and save up for it or do you like your less expensive kind just as much?
any insight on umbrella strollers is greatly appreciated. thanks.
thank you for your help guys!
artie lange fan, I was thinking about getting the BRUS umbrella stroller for a second – does it hold up well? the green is such a great color (online anyways).
I am searching for a lighter stroller to replace my travel system but not an umbrella stroller. I was looking at a few at Babies R Us, an Especially for Kids one and a Chicco one….
What lightweight stroller do you prefer?
I had a friend who swears by her Maclaren but I’d prefer not to spend 0 on one there was a 9 one I was looking at.
Also- I saw this Jeep one and was wondering if it is the same as the other Jeep umbrella strollers or slightly bigger, more of a lightweight one? The picture makes it seem bigger but I think it might be the umbrella one, just a little better.

Hi, I am looking for an umbrella stroller for my daughter who just turned 2. We have a Peg Aria OH and I HATE IT, after a year the stickers fell off, the cupholder broke,the basket ripped and its downright embarassing to stroll her around in.
I need an umbrella stroller with a higher weight limit, and for taller toddlers as my DD is 36 pounds and 37 1/2 inches tall but still needs to rest during long trips. The stroller must have recline,easy manuevering, padded handles, and decent strorage. And I am not willing to spend more than 0 as I made that mistake with my first "brand name Italian" stroller!
So far these are the only ones I could find:
1) Baby Planet Solo Sport
2) Maclaren (seem too pricey and has tiny wheels)
3) Baby Rock Star of Esprit Candy (I cant find max weight though!)
Do you own any of these strollers? What do you like/dislike about them? Do you recommend any other umbrella strollers that would work in my situation? Any advice would be awesome!Thanks.
Ps Please don’t bother telling me my daughter should not be in an umbrella stroller as she already turned 2. You try carrying around a 36 pound sleeping toddler and see how pleasant that is!
Kleighs Mommy:
Unless you are a pediatrician, please do not give me medical advice on my daughter’s weight. Did you also fail to read that she is over 3 feet tall? She has been off the charts since birth in both weight and height. Our Pediatrician is not concerned and neither am I. My daughter is fed a healthy diet (organic for the most) part and is a very active toddler, if her weight was high and her stature short then there would be cause for concern.
Besides failing to answer my question, you made an very ignorant comment..if you do not have anything helpful to say then please refrain from assumptions.
For the record here is a size/height chart for a girl:
2 year old 30 inches 28.4 lbs
3 year old 33 inches 30.8 lbs
4 year old 37 inches 35.2 lbs
DD is 1/2 inch taller and 0.8 of a pound heavier than your average 4 year old girl.Just because she is a big/tall toddler does not mean she does not get tired like a normal 2 year old.
Could someone please give me STROLLER advice?Thanks!
My daughter will be 8 months old on the 15th and I am interested in getting her an umbrella stroller. I have the Chicco Cortina stoller and love it but I want something more compact & lightweight. I am interested in the Maclaren, but still not sure. Should it matter if the stroller reclines or not? I have tried the inexpensive umbrella strollers but at 5’5" I have to bend down to push it. Thanks for the info!
