I need a new stroller

[mom of 3G's]

Yesterday I took our DD2 out to the mall and used our Graco Quattro. I'm beginning to strongly dislike it because of its ginormous size. I would like a stroller that has storage underneath it, handles that I can drape the diaper bag over, and folds up compact. Any suggestions??

If a high weight limit is a concern, Maclarens go to 55 lbs, but we love our Chicco Tuscany which I got on clearance in 05 for $60 or so, don't think this model is made anymore. It looks like a Maclaren and rides great, it's been to Disney. My Peg Perego P3 is still good for my tall 4 1/2 yo. P3 has a bigger basket and a tray for snacks and a cup, but both recline well for sleeping.

Check out diapers.com for strollers - great website to deal with. Lots of different choices and with helpful reviews from actual users. Just ordered my 2nd stroller from there for my DGS which is going to be "his" Valentine Day present from Grammy SuSu!

I can't say enough great things about our Maclaren.
I can't remember the name of the style, but it is one above the basic umbrella stroller. It has a small underneath basket.
I used mine at Disney the past 2 trips and it was great. I did buy the organizer that goes on the back, which I love.

I found mine, new from a dealer on ebay that sells last years colors for a discount. I have red/black and LOVE it.
I only wished I would have bought one sooner!

I have a Briteck preview it has a basket for storage it folds up like an umbrella stroller,has handles like an umbrella stroller and reclines all the way down flat for sleeping. It has survived two new england winters through snow, slush, salt and sand, And three Disney trips. The last trip my son was one month shy of four years old and I'm bringing it this year for probably the last time. I searched for almost a year before I bought this stroller and I researched alot this was the best buy I found.

After doing research online and going to the store to look at our choices for our new baby. DH and I have decided and bought a britax Chaperone stroller from Babies R US.

I'm also going to recommend the Maclarens. They don't have to be mega super expensive, a Volo will definitely do just fine with a 2 y/o. (I have a 2.5 y/o ) I'm now a Maclaren addict and have 3... yes, I know, I have a problem!

You can find a good deal on ebay usually, there's one seller from Connecticut that I've bought from twice. Sometimes TJ Maxx and Marshalls have good deals too!

We have had a Maclearn stroller we took on our DS 1st visit - it didn't have much room for below storage, didn't recline and didn't like anything hung from the back of the stroller, it would flip every time DS would get out of it. We purchased our Baby Jogger City Mini, and love it. We just returned from WDW trip in Dec and it was the best stoller ever. It has plenty of under carriage storage, fully reclines so that the DS could sleep and a wide and deep enough hood to fully cover him, from sun and rain. It has has amazing air flow to keep baby from overheating., when fully reclined Big selling point with DH and me, it is lightweight and collaspes and opens amazingly easy. Having had various carriages, from the Baby Bumble to our newest, I would bypass all other strollers and carriages for a Baby Jogger City Mini if I were to have another baby. (will definately get for my eldest DS(26) and his wife when they have a baby).

Yep, I just got my BJCM earlier this week and love it. I ordered it from diapers.com and was worried because it was expensive. They have a great return policy, though. You can mail anything back (unused, of course) anywhere up to 365 days. They will also pay for the shipping. They will also price match other places and give you a 10% discount on your first order. I felt better knowing I could send it back on their dime in case it didnt meet our needs. Thankfully it is a wonderful stroller and we are keeping it. We got the green and it is really pretty.
