If you got the free umbrella stroller with travel system purchase or the very inexpensive umbrella strollers...
Has it been worthwhile, or did you wind up going back and getting a better umbrella stroller? We got the one below free with our travel system, but I'm reading reviews on the 12.99 and cheaper ones and they don't seem to be so great. Opinions? What do you like/hate? Image Attachment(s):

I never use that kind. They scare me. Andrew almost fell over in one of those. And that was the end of that.

I actually use this one to roll my DS around the house sometimes.
He's not old enough for me to be using these on a regular basis, so I am not sure what I will do when he gets a little older... but for right now, he loves this for around the house!

We got 3 free ones. I gave one to my mom and kept one for myself and donated another. I have used it often. They are great for quick trips into a store and such. The one thing I didn't like was there was no bag or basket to put stuff in. I wouldn't use it as an all day thing, though we did bring it with us to sesame street because quite frankly if it got stolen I didn't care.

Re: If you got the free umbrella stroller with travel system purchase or the very inexpensive umbrella strollers...
I got the one you posted above free with purchase from TRU. I finally put the wheels on it when we went away for the weekend and couldn't fit the regular stroller in the car.
I have used it for quick earrands but would definitley not use it for something like the mall or walking around the outlets.
DD (who is 16 months) thinks it is so funny when she is in that one - she puts her feet straigh out - almost like she is on a swing. I think that she feels more "free" in it. She hasn't been in it long enough to try to get out when she gets frustrated, but I could see that being a potential problem.
I am now looking at the more expensive umbrellas to use more regularly.
HTH!

I bought one like that from CVS and thought it was great. It's not the best stroller ever but it was good for a quick run to the store. It was also helpfull for MIL when she would take DS for a walk. He was over a year old when I started to use it. It never broke and I never had a problem.

I have one of them and I have used it for quick trips where I needed to conserve space in the car or when I knew the regular stroller wouldn't fit easily into someplace where I was going (like to the doctor's office).
