I am looking for a light weight stroller for my 20 month old son. We have a Chicco Keyfit 30 stroller (part of travel system) and is too bulky for travel. We will be travelling internationally with couple layovers across time zones. I am looking for something sturdy which has all accesories like snack bar, storage underneath, comfortable reclining seat so my son can sleep in it if needed . Also higher handles because my husband is 6 ft tall. We will be using it later as our regular stroller. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Maclaren Techno. It got M. through many countries of travel. You can also purchase the small things that you will need for your travels through Maclaren.com. The person who created these strollers if I'm correct was an aiforce engineer. He went lightweight and sturdy. I've had mine for 8 years now. Went through two kids with it, and I added the buggy board on it for the first child when second was born. If sidewalks are very narrow, which in Europe they are, then it truly is the best way to go. You'll need to squeeze in and out of tight spots.

I have a Zooper Twist that I love and have used internationally as well. It has a huge storage basket and it has an actual reclining mechanism and almost lays flat. Make sure you check the recline on whatever you buy as sometimes it's just a pull string. This stroller is well made and very sturdy. I have the chicco travel system and I've used it internationally. It was difficult but it worked well too.

My daughter has a light weight stroller that folds vertically like an umbrella stroller but it is sturdier and has the amenities. The single handle isn't adjustable, tho.

I couldn't find this one online but here is a similar model that also has adjustable handles. It weighs just 13 lbs.

Later: I think this may be the newer version of the one my daughter has. It also weighs just 13 lbs. It's very easy to open and close.

Combi, it's perfect for travel. It folds in half and is very lightweight. It is very affordable too. I have a single and a double. My husband is almost 6'3 & I am 5'1, it worked for both of us.
