Compact stroller recommendation needed

Wow! The nano does fold down really small! I'm really curious about what it looks/feels like in person. I'm going to have to see if anyone carries it locally.
I have a mountain buggy nano and I LOVE it. It is my go-to travel stroller (actually I leave it in my trunk, so it is also my go-to off the car stroller) It pushes pretty well, obviously not as heavy-duty as some of my other strollers (Bugaboo Cameleon and BOB Revolution) but for a compact stroller, it's really very good.

Having said that, I also have the Uppababy Gluxe, which in my opinion, pushes even better than the Nano. For a trip down south like DWD, I would recommend the Gluxe over Nano because the sunshade on the Gluxe is amazing and you'll really need that if you're going in the summer. The Nano's sunshade is pretty much non-existing so I have put something over the hood to cover my daughter if she is sleeping. Since your child is already 13 months, I suggest you look into the Glite version, it's cheaper than the Gluxe and the main difference is just that Gluxe is good for 3m+ while Glite is 6m+ (doesn't recline as much as Gluxe)

However, if you're planning to do air-travel, Nano is great. It folds down like a luggage (though it's still too big as a carry-on luggage) it comes with a bag so it is well protected during the transport (my G-luxe already has a couple minor damages from the airlines) and it's a great space saver when we do road trips or take a lot of public transportation.

ETA:
I happen to have a couple pictures of the Nano folded compared to the Gluxe

this is how big it is compared to my daughter (about 9 months at the time)

how it folds compared to the gluxe (mind you, the gluxe is already smaller than regular strollers!)

But gluxe has an amazing sunshade! (next to it is my very old bugaboo) I don't have a picture of the Nano's sunshade but the hood is almost useless, lol

I chose a Perego Pliko P3 for my niece. I liked the space she had in it at 4yrs old and that it reclines almost flat. It came with extras a lot of compact/umbrella strollers don't have (adj. footrest and handle, snack tray, store standing). I also love the freedom movement harness system that I think Perego is the only brand that has this.

I went to a baby store and tried out a few different brands of strollers with my niece. I did not try out the City Mini's- not sure if they were around back then or I just hadn't heard of them. Checking out different strollers is great. If you have a friend with an older child it would be worth having them come and try pushing the stroller with him/her in it.
 
Has anyone seen the new Graco Verb? http://www.gracobaby.com/products/pages/verb-click-connect-stroller-bijou.aspx

I just came across it last night online. It's supposed to fold down super tiny (17" x 11.7" x 18") and even has a child tray (a big thing for us at her age). I haven't made it to BRU yet, (hopefully this weekend) but I'm going to take a look at it as well.
Just wanted to loop back. I ordered one of these online (nobody had them locally) and the specs on the website were completely wrong. I think it ended up being 34" x 21" x 14". I'm returning it.
