Our 16 month old needs a new stroller and we'd like one that fully reclines ans also has a canpoy that will shield her from the stimulation of airports, etc. We have a lot of traveling ahead of us and we're hoping she'll be able to sleep in the stroller if it's comfy and cozy enough. Suggestions? I've heard the citi mini is good and the Chicco liteway??? Thanks!
City Mini!! City Mini!! I have had every stroller from a Bugaboo to the Chicco and the City is very very easy to fold (you pull a handle in the middle and the whole thing fold up) It is very comfortable for the child and you and the canopy is EXTRA long so it covers everything.
I just got the double for my 2 boys (ages 2 & 8 months) we took the single on vacation with the 2 year old and it is the best!
Maclaren!! Gotta make sure you get a model that reclines though. I think the Volo does not. You could get a used one on CL for around $100-120.
City Mini. Its full reclines, has a huge canopy and is a one hand fold. I have a Mclaren, but wish I had a City Mini. I used to work in a baby store and have seen all the strollers out there. The Mini is the way to go.
McClaren are light weight so good for travel and recline fully (not the volvo model though). Not sure what your budget is but this could be an option
After buying several strollers and always having them break I bought a maclaren and have never been happier with a stroller!!!!
We bought a Baby Trend stroller, that fully reclines. My 18 month old (that usually hates strollers!) finds it very comfortable. It has cup holders for us, has a tray and cup-holder for him, a large sun canopy, and a really nice underneath basket. It folds in half VERY easily and is very affordable. We have been very pleased with the quality and ease, of the stroller. Good luck!
We really like our City Mini. The only downsides to it are the skimpy storage basket (we make do with 2 very large carabiner hooks from Home Depot) and the price (it adds up with all the accessories). The recline and the canopy are awesome, it handles really well and the fold is incredibly easy (and more compact than most strollers of it's size). And it weighs something like 17 lbs., so between that and the fold, it would be good for travel. We actually bought ours (new) on craigslist with a couple of the accessories, which saved us a little bit.
Best,
R.
I love my Chicco liteway.
