Lightweight Strollers

Our second stroller is a Maclaren Volo (our main stoller is actually also a Maclaren). It's very lightweight but durable- I think it would be perfect for your nanny's strolls with your baby.

Lightweight Strollers

I just did my own research on this subject and came up with three that would work for us. We wanted a lightweight stroller that was a step up from an umbrella stroller. We wanted a few seat positions, easy to fold, small, lightweight, and a few extras (not necessarily a deal breaker).

The first one is the Chicco C6. I liked this one (especially the orange color) and everything, but wanted more seat positions.

The second one is the Zooper Twist. This is the one we bought. We are still waiting for it to arrive so I can't give you a users point of view on it. This website has great prices, but the wait is killing me! If you use the Coupon Code:TRL831 you get like 20% off. Zooper is a great brand, so I'm sure it will be a great stroller. They have other models that you can check out. Just look on the Zooper website: www.zooper.com There are more umbrella stroller-type models in the 'Escape' line.

I'm also looking at a used MacLaren Techno. A mom is selling hers for $75, so this may be too hard to pass up. The Techno is great too because it is lightweight and easy to use.

I love my Maclaren Volo (bought a previous year model for under $100). It weighs 9 lbs.

I emailed a review of the Uppababy G-Lite in the last week. I've inserted it below. I love it and it can be carried with one hand and it only weighs 9lbs (8.3 lbs without the seat cushion). … Re Uppababy G-Lite : I love it! It's by far the most stylish one I've seen. At 9lbs, it's ultra light and so easy to use. I can lift it into my trunk or carry it under my arm with ease. The fold is very compact and we leave it standing by our front door. The unlocking mechanism is pretty cool as it's at the handles and you only need to use 2 fingers. The kickstand is the best one I've seen so far and stands way better than my Peg Perego Pliko P3. My daughter is very comfortable in it and even sleeps in it! The canopy can detach yet you don't have to remove it when folded but it also provides great coverage as well. The seat is nicely cushioned and has a removeable seat that you can wash and even go without on a hot summer day. The basket hold quite a bit and is easily accessible from the back/sides. The handles are well cushioned and can bear quite a bit of weight (my huge diaper bag, ergo, and 3 shopping bags were fine on it). The only 2 complaints I have is that the handles seem a touch high so petite people may find it too high and that my daughter looks slightly slouched in the seat but I think that may be the same with all strollers in that class. Otherwise, I can't say enough good things about it. We still like full size stroller with recline for longer trips but I think the G- Lite will be the stroller of choice for most of our outings.

for six month plus, the maclaran volo is great. only 8 lbs, collapses small and slings over your shoulder.

I reccomend the McLaren Volo. It's light and has a strap to throw over your shoulder. Also easy to open.

I would highly recommend the maclaren - i think it's the techno version. Basically, it's the cheapest maclaren stroller (we paid about 100?). It has no frills, but does come with a rain cover. It has the easiest foldup, you can do it one handed, while holding on to the baby. I would stay away from the combi stroller which we also have. That one cannot be folded up with one hand. Our maclaren has been through a number of flights, and now being used for our second son and it's held up very well.

Maclaren Volo. It is my absolute favorite stroller. Has a shoulder strap, light, easy to open with one hand, slim enough to carry on the bus with no problem.

We have a great lightweight stroller, a Combi Citysavvy stroller. It weights very little, folds to a small size and has a shoulder carrying strap. It also reclines. And it's cheaper than the MacLarens. It was perfect for us until I realized that other strollers are better for tall people with long legs.

I saw your post … regarding a lightweight stroller. We recently bought a Britax Esprit, which is just 12 lbs. It's an umbrella stroller that is comparable to the McLarens, but it is much cheaper! I bought it on albeebaby.com for $60, on sale from $100. It's a basic umbrella, but the material is really nice, it's easy to unfold, and super light. The only problem with it is that my husband is tall and the handles aren't adjustable. for me, at 5'5", it's fine. Baby Bargains gives Britax strollers mediocre reviews, but I really like mine.
