OT-Umbrella Storller (Xposted from Toddler)

As our 28 mo. old gets bigger, he's still young enough he tires on longer journeys, or I want to keep him contained if we're out and about at time. But 32+ pounds makes my arms tired after a while.

We need a smaller umbrella type stroller that we can use - hoping to buy it in the next week or so before we fly to Florida. I don't want to spend more than $100 - anyone have a brand/model they'd recommend?

I just need something unlike our cheapy version that is SO hard to turn/push and seems to small for our big boy.

We have a Chicco that we just keep in the car---it was about $60. It's pretty sturdy, and H seems comfy enough, but I think it might be hard on a really tall person (which I am not!) so try it before you buy.

Hi, I love my Jeep stroller that I got at shopko for like 20 dollars. I got it when I tended my sisters boy, and it was great because it came with extra side storage bags. I have been looking at the Mclearen one's online and really like them but haven't bought one yet, I'll wait and see if my jeep ever wears out.

I have a combi that I use to travel and I like it a lot. The seat reclines, there is a small basket and sunshade and it folds pretty easily. It also has a strap to carry it which is helpful when travelling.
