Light Weight Stroller?

What Kind of stroller do you have? Have you bought a lighter weight one or do you still use your first one? What do you like or not like about your stroller? If your LO is not here yet what kind of Stroller do you plan on getting? Pic's If you can....

We LOVE the stroller we have now but since our vacation is coming up we want to get a lighter weight one.
This is what we have now and It's great but big and a bit heavy. Definitely not a vacation stroller.

I think this is what were gonna get. Ive heard a lot of good things about this brand so we might try it out.

I have the Silvercross 3D pram system

It starts in pram mode which is supposed to last the baby 6 months, but Kirsty outgrew the carrycot by 3m. Then switches to pushchair mode. The car seat attaches on top as well.

It's very sturdy and folds down like a light weight, I adore it!

we just have a Jeep umbrella stroller for Seamus and a stroller frame that Kierans seat goes into

I know I'm not a btdt, but I bought the Maclaren Quest Sport for a lightweight one as well, which I plan to use as soon as this lo hits 3 months. After spending an ungodly amount of time pushing around strollers in bru and some shops over here is Europe, I liked that one best. It's really easy to fold, is sturdy and is only 11 lbs. It's also lightweight enough that you can take it on an airplane without checking it. The only thing that I don't like is that the storage net thingy underneath is pretty much unusable because its so far underneath the stroller.

We don't have a light weight stroller. Only our 31 lb Bumbleride! It's huge and not the best stroller for shopping. I might end up getting a light weight one in the future but so far I have not had a big need for one.

You guys are going to laugh... but I've yet to put Alexa in a stroller!!! We haven't even put our travel system one together yet

I wear her everywhere~~ and we've been on like 5 vacas with her too!!! Love wearing her!!! We have a light weight stroller too, still in the box!!! haha

We have this one:

Cosatto Dixie Sport

It's nice! I really like it. But we don't use it often. Since we have the two kids we use this one:

I'm IN LOVE with it. Kids can face me, out, each other or whatever. I can also use his carseat in it. The seats recline as well. The basket is HUGE as well. MMM I love it! haha.

Not that that helps you any

haha

We got a Graco Travel System (Hamilton), which did not come with a light weight stroller. I don't think it'll be a huge deal for us, but I can imagine it being a pain for someone who lived in a big city or who traveled a lot. I also plan to wear the baby a lot, so I doubt we'll be lugging it to the store and what-not very often. We tried it and several other strollers out and we really liked how it handled and how easily it broke down.

I've heard really good things about the Maclaren Quest Sport!!

I use the Kolcraft Lightweight/Umbrella stroller. It works great for me and it doubles as Amara's feeding chair sometimes.

We've got a Graco MetroLite. It's pretty good, I like it, but the only downside is the storage compartment is too small for me, it doesn't really fit his big diaper bag so I had to get a smaller diaper bag.

I want to get an umbrella stroller as well especially for traveling because our car is small and the stroller takes up most of the trunk space.

Amy, I got the raspberry/black one (AKA red and black in my book, lol). I also liked the green and grey one. They are all nice and gender neutral though. I think you will really like it. hehe, I had to read the instructions to figure out how to use all the features but it's really easy.

I have a double stroller and it's like a freakin limousine

Anyway, we have 2 umbrella strollers for the girls. 15 bucks a pop, they both like it better then the double stroller, and Taylor would rather walk anyway... sometimes it's not what mommy wants though

We had gotten a graco quattero delux travel system as our buggy but it was too big and bulky.

but, when we went to york FIL purchased Mia this one...

Its super light weight, even has a strap you can put on your sholder if you was getting on public transport etc. Its called Baby-start Mollies stroller in pink
