Umbrella stroller question...

Does anyone have an umbrella stoller that they love and would highly recommend? I want to purchase a good one that is lightweight, easy to maneuver and folds up nicely. Thanks!

Well, you could buy a cheapy $12 standard one from WalMart, but my dh and I are tall and were forever kicking the back of those things (we had two with the twins)!! We now own a Maclaren Quest and love it!!!!

I love mine for what it is. It was 69.99 but BRU does price matching so I printed out Target's online price of 62.99 and they honored it. This one I use for walks and stuff. It is so much easier than lugging around our big Graco one. The handles are higher than the cheapies, it has a little basket underneath and it reclines slightly. I place one of those positioners in there and it is SO perfect for DD as she is on the smaller side. LOVE IT!

Ladies, thanks so much for replying. I saw the Chicco at Buy Buy Baby last week for $69.00. Rachel, when you fold up the stroller, is there a snap or something that keeps it folded? I also saw a nice Maclaren umbrella stroller at the same store, but I am not sure if it is the Quest. They both sound great. It sounds like they both have the higher handles, which I am interested in becaues of my height. My neighbor just gave me a 20%off coupon at Buy Buy Baby so that is my excuse to splurge on a good one. (Hopefully, there won't be any exclusions for these strollers on the coupon!) Thanks!

Yep there is a clip. There is also a bag which comes in handy when you travel at the airport. I flew with her 2 months ago (which is why I purchased it) and it was nice to have that bag to protect it when I checked it at the gate.
