We want to pick up an umbrella stroller before we head to the beach to use in the airport, does anyone have this one?? Or does anyone have any suggestions for a better one?

Amazon.com: The First Years Jet Stroller, Pickupstick: Baby

We'll definitely be going with the green for that price!

I don't have one, but I have loved everything we've purchased from the First Years company if that helps

Have fun at the beach!!

We have that exact one (same color and everything), but mostly it stays in my MIL's car since she watches the baby several times a week. What I really liked about the stroller was the 5 point harness and the ability to put drinks and other stuff in the little pouch holder (hard to find with most umbrella strollers!)

That is a GREAT price for it...I think I got it for $40 when we purchased ours

my sister has that one and it's the only thing that sucks is the heigh of the handles. I felt like I was hunching over to push my niece. Everything else was great about it (especially the price!!)

I have this one in black and love it! It used to be DH's stroller for his truck (since it's very slim he could lay it across the floor in the back) but I now that Bella is older it's easier to use so I stole it back and it's in my car It has the 5 point harness too..... if you think you'll use this stroller alot, I would invest a little bit more. If not, then don't worry about it! (oh, and this is a great price for this, it was $79 on my registry!)

The Jeep umbrella stroller is at BRU for $35.00 I LOVE this stroller! It's been to the airport twice, and Camden rides in it more than his big one.

Alot of people are suggesting the Chicco one - i'm going to look into that also. I'm not sure how much we'll use it, i actually really like our travel system one plus we might TTC soon so we'll need a double at some point anyway. Who knows... Thanks for the opinions!

I have that one you posted (but in red). I got it real cheap too, and don't use it that often, but it fits my needs perfectly! I'm 5'8" and don't feel like I have to bend to the handles. My arms are down straight yeah, but I'm not slouched over.

$27 seems like an awesome price - for any colour.
