Which Stroller for 4 Year Old?

[kalishea]

Hi, first post here!
The folks on the DISboards seem to know their strollers for traveling. I am purchasing a lightweight stroller to take with us on our upcoming Disneyland trip so I don't have to haul my BOB. Here are my choices:

USED Maclaren Triumph $110

NEW Maclaren Volo $110

NEW Inglesina Swift $110

NEW Aprica Presto $160

NEW Britax Blink $90

DS is 4 years old, 43 lbs, 42" tall.

Which would you pick for us and why??

Thanks so much!

This is what we have and used - my friend now owns ours and loves it as much as us. They really hold up well and are super easy to carry. We got the optional rain cover to and it saved us from having a kid in a wet stroller more than once.

We have the Cybex Ruby and its awesome. Great for tall kids. Mesh sides to keep our dd cool and the canopy is huge compared to others like the city mini or Maclaren.

Out of your list though I would go with the used Maclaren. They fold much smaller than the city minis.

I used a macauren Volo until my son was 6 or 7. I was very pleased with it. He is now 9. I just purchased a City Mini double for my 6 month old twins. I use the Volo when I have just one baby so works well with all ages.

If you purchase a used Maclaren stroller make sure it has the modified piece that covers the hinge. There was a recall on them and owners needed to get the pieces to stop children's fingers from getting caught.
