I have a snugrider stroller. Which is just a base that the car seat lays in. It was great up until recently. It weighs almost nothing. But now my boy has decided he wants to lay down and have more freedom. Can anyone suggest a good LIGHTWEIGHT stroller?
Hi, for a great lightweight stroller check out the Maclaren line. http://www.maclarenbaby.com/global/2006_collection/buggie...
They are pricey but worth the money. You could buy 3 less expensive lightweights and your Maclaren would still be going strong. Check sights like mysimon.com, babycenter.com etc for the lowest prices.
I have a Combi stroller that is only 13 pounds. It is very lightweight and I love it. I have a terrible back. It is also a travel system.
I hope that this helps you. Good Luck!
Graco makes a stroller that has the name "lite" in it that I had. It really was light. It also had a button that you push in the middle of the handle if you want it to go down easy. I loved that stroller & it had 3 adjustable heights so he can lay down if he wants. Hope this helps.
Hi T.,
I too have a metrolite and it's a good stroller. Don't know how easy it would be with your tendonitis, though. Speaking of tendonitis, I had really really bad tendonitis in my right hand, especially my thumb and wrist. I saw a specialist - a rheumatologist - dr. javaid sheikh, i believe his name is - and he was great. He gave me a steroid shot -depomedpro or something like that - and let me tell you, the pain slowly went away and by the third day, I could do things I hadn't been able to do in months! Simple things - like hold a glass of water. It's been nearly a month since the shot, and I feel no pain like before. It's great. He's on Orange Avenue, and I believe most insurance companies cover him.
Hi... i have been trough a million strollers... it is my obsession and there are 4 major things for me. LIGHTWEIGHT, Easy to close (Preferably with one hand,), ability to lay flat just in case baby is sleeping (Hate to have her head bopping around while sitting) and easy to maneuver... the pegprego is very lightweight but you need practice to learn how to close it.. I also found that it was not as durable (even though itis among the mst expensive) and it is difficult to maneuver (almost impossible) at the park (on grass or bumpy road), the maclaren is good but too pricy for what you get... it is a little easier to close and open but not the greatest, The combi was horrible doesn't lay down comletely, two months later I could not push it properly anywhere, no cup holders for child or parent and folds down ok but then you haveto put the clip to hold it together and it is hard (for you with tendonitis it might be bad. the Graco Metrolite is awesome. Easy to close with one hand, light enough. lays flat without having to wake up child (Just pull string and it goes down slowly to whatever position u want)My first one I took to Europe and to Southamerica through stone roads and grass... I still have my first and it was the best... I love it. I particularly mention it because it is still up and running awesome. It is the modelwith square pattern and a little teddy bear in the backrest. The reason I am specific is because I bought a second one with my second child (My first was still in a stroller)and although it has been very good it has not been great like the first. I hae reccommended it to a lot of my friends and they all have loved it. I now have a third child so I have personallly tried all of tyhe above mentioned (and others not even worth it ) Like I said a comfi stroller is my obsession) Umbrella strollers are good for quick in and outs bur not good for all the other reasons.... although for my eldest I bought what I consider the most expensive umbrella stroller but the best. awersome to steer very lightweight, easy to close but it does not recline...but it has an awesome basket ... hope all this helps
