Looking for a new stroller

[VoodooChile]

Okay, b/c we were stooooooooopid, and went with a Graco travel system instead of doing research, I'm stuck with a ginormous stroller that is giving me increasingly more trouble every day (the Snugride rocked, though). It's the big Quattro stroller (I also have about 4 of the cheap Kolcraft umbrellas that are good for nothing), and I was just diagnosed with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, so I'm having a tough time with it. So what I'm looking for is something smaller and easier to maneuver, preferably with a basket underneath for the diaper bag. I don't mind spending $100-150 or so on it. If it helps, dd is a big kid--almost 20 months, 35.75", 27.5 lbs, so any that are good for tall kids is great.
Thanks so much!

Well, easy to steer and lightweight ones are made by Maclaren. On Ebay you can find Maclaren Quests for about $125-$150. They are Great strollers!!!!
Albee baby also has a quest in this range. Since you have a girl, the pink would work for you
http://www.albeebaby.com/ma20modspstp.html They do have a basket although the pic doesn't show it.

There are also other maclarens you might like on that site. Sometimes you can get them cheaper on Ebay. I saw that pink one go for $115 with shipping recently. There are many patterns in the Quest.
Another good one would be the Triumph by Maclaren. http://www.albeebaby.com/ma20vostinsa.html Or, even cheaper and the lightest of all at about 8 lbs is the Volo. They all have baskets and are light. The Quest is the more fuller featured one of the 3. The Volo doesn't recline, but is a fantastic stroller.http://www.albeebaby.com/ma20vostinsa.html

I suggest Maclaren beacuse of your Fibromyalgia. My mom has it and loves pushing a smooth Maclaren stroller around.
Another great thing about Macs is they hold up to 55 lbs.

Do those have a cupholder for the "driver"? ;)

None of the maclaren strollers have a cup hold but you can purchase a bob cup holder that snaps on. I have beening meaning to get one for over a year but I actuallty stick my cup in the folded up canopy.
