looking for a lightweight or umbrella stroller, any ideas?
posted 7th Nov '06
I have a P3 Pliko Peg Perego, which I love!
But I travel a lot and it's not the best because is heavy.... plus in last trip it got dirty by the airline. Anyways I'm looking for an umbrella or lightweight stroller. So far I like Chicco C5 (reviews are so so), Chicco Tuscany (I can't find it) and the Zooper twist (no reviews).
Any suggestions or ideas?

Check out the Micralite (www.micralite.com) . They are just starting to be available in the US. We love ours, it's our lightweight stroller whereas the Xplory is our main stroller. It has pneumatic rear tires but it folds up in one piece and can even stand when folded.

I love the microlite fastfold! only two questions.
How heavy is it? can you recline the seat?
Thanks

It's not too heavy, I believe under 6 kilos (12-13 lbs). The seat has 2 positions, but the recline is not very laid back, if you know what I mean. But my 9 month old falls asleep in it if she's tired enough!

I have the Maclaren Quest in Pink. And I must say I love this stroller. It is so light only weighing like 13 pounds. The seat reclines, but not all the way back for a newborn, but my daughter has no problem sleeping in it. And the best thing is the fact that it takes children up to 55 pounds. And it folds in like 3 seconds flat. I would highly recommend this stroller if you are only looking for a light weight reclining umbrella stroller. After being through lots and lots of strollers including the bugaboo, I really like this one.
