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.
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 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!!
We love the little 20.00 ones they sell at Babies R Us. Very lightweight, and easy to let down.
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 used our jeep all weather until it feel apart. I like to keep it in the car. Its only about 29.99
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 use Chicco. We have had it about a year and a half and really like it. Light and easy to fold.
Good luck!
Chicco is my favorite. Ours is about five years old and it's been great. I know the newer ones are even nicer.
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.
