What lightweight or umbrella stroller do you have?

I need a lighter stroller for day-to-day use. The Graco stroller system is just too heavy to lug in and out of the car.

I was looking at the Maclaren Triumph and it looked pretty nice but I'd like to hear some reviews of other strollers before I make a purchase.

Thanks!

Re: What lightweight or umbrella stroller do you have?

I have the Chicco capri- however its still in the box, so I cant say how wonderful it is yet...

It got great reviews, and here is a brief description:

designed in Italy, the Capri has a rugged yet lightweight annodized aluminum frame that weighs only 11 pounds but comes loaded with features you would only expect to find on a full-size stroller! The 2 position reclining seat provides comfort and security with a padded 5 point harness. The adjustable, removable, round canopy protects from the sun, wind and cold. The large basket provides storage for all the things your baby needs. The stroller carry bag & shoulder carry strap make travel & storage convenient.

I just got the Peg Perego Aria MT and so far I love it!! It is so lightweight and easy to handle.

I have a Chicco Tuscany - I have really used this alot and its a GREAT stroller. I am pretty rough on it though and am considering getting an SUS (sport utility stroller )




Here is a review, never experienced any of the negatives.

I also have a Chicco, its an older version called the London, but its very similar to the new C5.

Re: What lightweight or umbrella stroller do you have?

I have the Chicco C5 and love it. Folds up easily and manuevers well.

I just got the Maclaren Quest. I considered the Chicco C5, Maclaren Triumph and Combi one but Kevin was so wide at the shoulders- with his winter coat on - he looked so squished in them. The quest was the only one he looked comfy in and of course it was most money. I like it because it is compact and very leightweight and fully reclines (the triumph doesn't and it is a feature I use a lot). So far I love it - I got it about a month a go. I use this for car trip and still use my Graco for walks and to go to my local park.

I have the Graco Metrolite stroller and i have to say it stinks. I gave it to my mother in law to use at her house, since that is the only place the baby will nap when he's there (even though she bought a crib ) So its good for there, but for me when he gets a little bigger, i'm gonna have to buy another one.

Re: What lightweight or umbrella stroller do you have?

I have the same as marissa- Ihave not used it yet though.

Re: What lightweight or umbrella stroller do you have?

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

I went with the Peg Perego Aria. It was A LOT more than I wanted to spend but I figured that if baby #2 comes along soon that this will be Kevin's main stroller as the baby will have the larger travel system to use and I wanted something that would last (I hope) for a while.

I just wish that BBB had Aria with the blue fabric. I ended up getting the tan one but I guess it will hide the dirt a little better.
