Tell me about your umbrella stroller

JenD1018

I don't want to lug the City Mini to Italy so I'm looking for a lightweight umbrella stroller to take with us.

I've been looking at the Maclaren Volo, Uppa Baby G-lite and the Chicco Lightway or C6 but I'd like to hear if there are any other models you like.

I want something that is lightweight, folds up somewhat easy, has a good sun shade (but I can buy an extra attachment so it's not a dealbreaker) and I want the seat to have good support/be firm so Jack isn't slouching

I had the Maclaren Volo and LOVED it. It was a loaner, and I'm hoping that we get to bring it home again this weekend. I know Letranger shopped around a lot for hers and had some really good points and tips including trying them all first because of your stride.

Stride is so important. You need to try them out in store. We bought the phil and Teds smart but it isn't super light so not what you are looking for. We did like the uppa baby too and that might be a good one for travel size wise plus it stood on its own.

We looked at all of the same strollers.  We ended up with the Chicco Capri (same as the C6?) and we love it.  It has a bag for travel and it is seriously one of the best purchases we made.  I was ready to spend more money on it but we didn't need to so that was awesome.
