I just got my new umbrella stroller - I love it!

I wanted to post about my stroller that I just purchased here so that maybe I can help out others looking for an inexpensive lightweight stroller!

I purchased the Cosotto Swift Lite in Chili from Walmart.com (that's the only US place I could even find it.) It is very much like the Maclaren line, more specifically the Triumph, but it's almost $100 cheaper! It folds and unfolds easily, has a handle (not a strap) to carry when folded, comes with a rain shield, has a 5 point easy to latch harness, the sun visor isn't great, but it's comparable to the high end ones - I ordered the RayShade to supplement. I put my 6 week old son in the stroller reclined in the lowest position and he was perfectly comfortable! It reclines very nicely! I'm really happy with this stroller so far although I haven't used it yet other than to test around my house. The basket looks like it will hold a little bit, but I won't use it much in WDW anyway since we'll have our backpack too.

I just thought this might help others. I really couldn't afford a second stroller and my Gracco was too big for the buses! This is a nice option for less than $100!

Sounds like a nice stroller! Is it a comfortable height? I feel like I'm bending over when pushing an umbrella stroller & my back starts hurting very soon after we get going. I would like to find something lightweight & compact for our trip to Disney, but it has to be comfy to push!
Thanks for posting.

My DH is 6'3" and the handles are at about or right above his waist area. He thought it was a great height for him. I'm not sure what the actual height is, but it seems like it will comfortable for my husband. When we tried out one of the Jeep models, they were too low so we sort ofrisked it by not knowing too much about this one until it came in, but I really love it! I'll try to upload some photos of my lil guy in the stroller sometime this week if I get a minute!

Edit - the handles are slightly taller than my door handle on my bedroom door which is at least standard. I took photos, so I will put some up next time I get on my other computer. I haver 38 days until my trip to the World so I'll be able to update this more then!
