I Can't Decide on Which Lightweight Stroller to Get...
By this point it's between two diferent ones. Either the Chicco Orion Liteway or the Combi Cosmo EX. Do any of you moms have these strollers? What do you like about them? What don't you like? It's for my 9 month DD. I wanna keep it below $150. I need it to recline fully so she can sleep in it, this will be her primary stroller. We sold the huge, heavy travel system we had. Thanks!!

We have the Combi Cosmo EX. It has been a good choice with the exception that I think I just broke a wheel.Have used it for 2 years.

I just got a Cynthia Rowley lightweight from Babies R Us. $119, the handles are a little taller than the average stroller which is good for my hubby. The seat reclines to lying and hanging my huge jj cole diaper bag on the handles does not cause it to tip at all. My 6 year old got tired in the mall the other day and he got in it with my 5 month old on his lap.

I know it isn't either of the two you are looking at, but I bought the super lightweight Maclaren one wtih a coupon at Babies R' Us, and it was great. (We lugged it all over on a two week international trip.) The only regret that I have is that I didn't splurge and spend a little bit more to get the one that fully reclined.

I personally think the Combi is so small that she will out grow it quickly and then you will have to buy another stroller. I bought our Maxi Cosi Umbrella stroller from Babies R Us for $129 last year for our then 2 month old son and he still to this say (13 months old) loves that stroller. We also have a Maclaren Volo but it doesnt recline but it is a great one too. Chicco makes a great product so I would say go with that one, if I had to pick between the two.

I do not have that exact stroller, but I do have the Combi Twin, and LOVE it. It is so lightweight and easy to use that I'm very impressed with the brand. I would absolutely buy another Combi.

I have a combi double side by side & a combi single, i LOVE them both...i still use them for my 6, 5 & 3 yr olds......i am 5'1 & these strollers are so light i have no problem lifting them into my full sized conversion van.......we have went to outdoor mall restaurants & didn't want to leave the stroller outside so we fold this stroller & slide it under the table, it is so compact since it folds in half.........my kids are normal sized & none of them have outgrown these strollers as one poster suggested.

I know you have narrowed down already, but I had to put in my two cents. I LOVE our Maclaren Quest. Its super light, easy to fold, compact both open and closed, comfortable, easy to push... If you are going to be using the stroller a lot, like I do, make sure it is really good. I got mine used from craigslist for under $100 and we have had it for a year and it is still going strong. Well made items usually last for a long time!
