Seeking an "Good Umbrella Stroller"

Good Morning Mamasource Community,

I'm in search of a good quality, easy to let and down, umbrella stroller for my 9 month old. We currently have the travel system stroller (which is suppose to have the one hand fold down feature, haha such a joke). Any suggestions will help.

What can I do next?

Love The Maclaren Volo - It folds with one hand and one foot - It is light and easy to carry and my 4 year old son sits comfortably and he is tall and it has a 5 point harness system (very important). I compared many and thought while it is more expensive it was taller in the back for growth and it has a great visor compared to the others that I saw.

Hope that helps

I have a Tuscuny Chicco and I really like it. Really easy to fold and extremely comfy for my daughter. Very light weight as well.

Chicco is my favorite. Ours is about five years old and it's been great. I know the newer ones are even nicer.

We use Chicco. We have had it about a year and a half and really like it. Light and easy to fold.
Good luck!

I have 2 MacLaren Volo strollers that I just love. I bought them on clearance from Babies R Us for $50 each (in January they clearance out last year's colors). But, they have coupons all the time too. It is the best stroller, and I like it because it holds up to 55 lbs. My 5 year old sits in it at DisneyWorld and loves it. My 2 year old loves it as well. It is around 9 lbs. and it fold up so easily- one hand. It has a carrying strap as well that you can wear if you are going on a bus or something. Great for theme parks or the mall. I can't say enough great things about it. I am 5'6" and I don't have to slump over to push it like I do most umbrella strollers. Also, the seat has a mesh backing which is great for hot summer days, the kids don't sweat on their backs as much.

We used our jeep all weather until it feel apart. I like to keep it in the car. Its only about 29.99

The Chicco is great if you are on the shorter end. It is cheaper than a Maclaren but seems to be just as good for occasional use. However, if you are tall it may not be comfortable. I am 5'3 and it was just fine. It is super light and is at Babies R Us for around $60.

We love the little 20.00 ones they sell at Babies R Us. Very lightweight, and easy to let down.

I love my Peg Prego Pliko 3 stroller. I didn't lose many of the travel system options that I loved but the size and weight are significantly smaller and lighter!!! I wish I would have bought this is the first place!!
