Stroller Suggestions

[mpzpowell]

I would like to buy a new stroller for my 2 year old for our Disney trip in June.

I would like one that is lightweight, folds nicely for getting on and off buses, reclines, and has a decent size basket underneath. Any suggestions????

What is your price range? And are you looking for something just to get you through Disney, or something to work more long term? I ask b/c they vary so widely based on price and quality that it is hard to recommend w/o knowing your needs. One place to check out with great stroller info though is the Baby Bargains forums. Their site is for the stroller boards is http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=14. If you read through the old posts you should be able to get some great suggestions. Plus, the folks who post there seem to know everything about every brand stroller ever made!

I would like to keep the cost under $75.00. We need a new stroller anyway, so it would be something that I would want to last for a long while.

Thanks for the link. I will check it out right now!

We bought a Combi Savvy for my daughter last year and it was around $80. The only downside is that the basket is on the small side. The plus is that it is light, folds easily, and has a carry strap so you can sling it over your shoulder to board the bus.

I second the combi. We bought a combi savvy dx and love it. Although we just recently bought it we haven't had a chance to try it at WDW but plan on it in June. But so far it is great. I paid $60 for mine at strollers 4 less. Good luck.

For the price you want, this is your best option. I bought this months before our last trip and just LOVE it. The Graco CitiLite.

It's very light, I pick it up 1 handed out of the trunk. Folds easy and self locks, little button on the side of the frame to unlock so be careful if you're looking at the store..we were yanking and yanking trying to open it..so it's very sturdy!!! Good cupholders on top, which most affordable ultralightweights don't have. I can fit my purse and Avent backpack diaper bag in the basket. It has a nice 'drape' that covers the basket from rain (or pick-pockets). Adjustable handle height, can steer very well with 1 hand, smooth ride, looks cushy like a full size but narrow to zip through stores.

Another vote for the Combi Travel Savey DX, also got it at Strollers4less.com, but paid 99.00 almost 2 years ago. My friend also ordered one from them and paid 60 I think. It is a great stroller. The basket underneth dosen't help much, I perfer to hang bags off the back. My friend liked to put things in the basket, and keep them in it when folding it up, making it not fold in on itself. This really makes it harder and not worth it. (It won't stay closed that way.) We have made 3 trips to WDW, and a number of other vacations with it and just love it. Our DD calls it her Disney World stroller. Not sure what we are going to do about a double stroller now though (DD #2 due in Aug, see countdown clock )

The best thing about it is the cup holders for the child and the bar comes off easy for getting in and out. It holds larger children, but I have noticed taller ones will tend to put there feet on the whelles, our tiny DD does not.

We just got back from WDW last week and used the Graco Citilite and loved it. It does recline and 14 month old dd had no problems napping in the stroller. The Citilite is about $69.
