Owners of Lightweight Stollers?

with my first 2 kids I had the Maclaren Volo & loved it! We traveled all over the place with it. I have just had my 3rd and received the peg perego Aria and hate it. I am about to but a new and improved Maclaren. Good luck!

i have had a peg perego aria(hated it, you are paying for the NAME on the peg perego producuts!), i have maclaren triumph right now(don't really like it), and you may laugh, but i prefer the graco metrolite for an "everyday" lightish weight but still full featured stroller. i have been through about 10 strollers with 3 kids, but the only one i've EVER bought a second one of is the graco metrolite. i got a discontinued fabric for $80 at www.albeebaby.com. funny thing is, i'm not a big graco fan, i wouldn't touch their carseats if you gave it to me - but i have to give them props on this stroller - it's not perfect BUT it's the best one i've found.

CHICCO Liteway Fuego - Less than $130, Amazon, Target, Babys-R-Us, etc. Gets 5-star ratings from Moms. Got one for my grandson recently. Easy-fold with carrying handle. RED! (Possibly also in grey?). First saw it recommended on Today Show. Love it.

Loved mine! Only dislike is the cup holder in the tray keeps popping out. But maybe they have changed it since. I bought mine in 2008

COMBI!! I love how easy it is to fold and unfold when holding a baby. My only dislikes is the shade isn't big enough for my taste. I like to fully cover my son when he sleeps or facing directly into the sun, but there are extender shades on the market. And the basket. It's not big and kind of flimsy. But I only ever used it for little things anyway. But then I got my Peg and stopped using the combi, but still suggest it too.

go with maclarennnn!!!!!! it has no cons, except maybe no tray and no cup holders, but as for weight and convenience it's thee best!! good luck! =)

Macclaren is the gold standard. You really can't go wrong. Just make sure it has a recline feature.
We have a UppaBaby G-Luxe. Less expensive & lighter. Worth checking out....
I also love the Cybex lightweight stroller but that's in the $250 range... Maybe you can find it used?
Good luck!

I am a big fan of our combi stroller. It is lightweight, easy to fold and carry, easy to pick up the stroller while the baby is in it, and easy to maneuver. My daughter loves the front cup holders as sometimes she likes to grab onto them and act like she is driving the stroller. It is also great if we are out and have to feed her in the stroller as we can place finger foods in the front cup holders. The storage underneath is the only downside, but we have started clipping her diaper bag onto the back handle and that works well.

I have ALWAYS gotten the Combis as my light weight strollers. The baskets aren't that big, but I travel a good bit with the kids via car and I love that it folds so compactly and I can just sling the strap over my shoulder. They are usually just about $130 or so and if you go to Toys R Us, you can often get a 20% off coupon, plus they have a replacement warranty for about $17. If it gets stained, the seat gets torn, etc., they will replace it. I just wish I knew about that 2 Combis ago. LOL

I love my MacLaren! My husband is so tall the classic worked for us since it's the only one with adjustable height hand grips. There was no tray, but my son didn't mind. We added a cup holder across the handles.

I got mine off ebay and paid $120 for a gently used one instead of $300. It has more than held up and well worth it's money - I've had it for 4 years through many car and plane trips!

I have a Maxi Cosi Perle and love it. I comparison shopped and was about to get the Maclaren and be done with it but decided on the Maxi Cosi and haven't looked back since. I bought it when my son was 3 months old and he is 11 months now and still loves it and so do I. It doesn't have tons of storage but if you are going to downsize on size you are going to down size on storage.
