Anyone used an Inglesina Swift stroller?

[crusoe2]

I'm stroller shopping for my 4yo and would like to find something pretty reasonably priced since we are also having to replace her carseat. I saw the Inglesina Swift online and like the looks of it - it seems to have all the features I want (comfy-looking seat, recline, canopy, basket, tall handles for DH). But I can't find anything that tells me the weight limit for that model. Does anyone know or have one that you could give me a review on? For what I'll have to pay to get all the features I want (and hopefully a smooth ride for DD), I'd like something that she won't grow out of too soon. TIA

Have you check out the messageboards at babybargainsbook.com? They have one forum devoted to strollers. If there is something to know about strollers, then someone there knows it. Kind of like here.

No, I haven't seen that one before. Will definitely check it out. Thanks.

I just bought a Maclaren Volo stroller today, which looks a lot like the one you are talking about. I think it's going to work out perfectly for my little one. The weight limit on the Maclaren is 55 lbs. The Inglesina website lists a weight limit of 45 lbs. for the Swift.

I have a Inglesina Twin Swift. I use it for my 2yo and 4yo, but my lazy 5yo jumped in it a few times on our last trip. I like it, it has everything I wanted, reclining seat, storage, canopy...

DisneyDiva-I didn't think the Volo reclined

I didn't say it did. It's very similar to the Inglesina, but it doesn't recline. He sits very comfortably in the Volo and I think naps will be just fine for him. He's not a big fan of reclining in a stroller...he's afraid he'll miss something, I guess.

I just bought an Inglesina Trip last fall after the Maclaren I bought fell apart during our Sept. 2006 WDW trip. I love it. I'm not sure how it differs from the Swift. I think it may have replaced the Swift and has a few more features. If you have a stroller napper like my DD, it is a great stroller. It's almost a full recline and, with the side fabric, it is like a little house for her to sleep in. I found mine for about $150 online, shipped. I think for the features it has, it is a great value of a stroller.

Sorry I was confused since the OP said they were looking for a stroller that reclined. I thought I was wrong about the Volo not reclining. Have a lovely day .

i don't put a lot of stock in weight limits if it's a quality stroller. i have a swift and i can easily push my 50lb 5yr old around in it. it's a great disney stroller.

you can still get the pink striped swift at amazon for $87 shipped (says they have 4 left)
