So i am trying to decide between the Mia Moda Cielo http://www.miamodainc.com/strollers/cielo.asp
and the Summer Infant Quicksmart Easy Fold http://www.summerinfant.com/strollers.htm
and i can't decide which one would be better, price doesn't matter(Albee has them for only $10 difference).

It looks like the Summer Infant would contain him more on the side, but it only has 2 reclines. I also read that to get it back upright is hard because you have 4 clips to refasten.

The Mia Moda looks like it has more padding, and i like the frabic selection better,lol(i like the Terra Cotta). And it has adjustable recline with just one strap.

I know both only go to 40lbs, but i have peanuts and at 16m, Colton is only 19lbs. And at 5.5ys Kaleb is only 38lbs. So i don't need a higher weight stroller. I just need one that will still leave room in my trunk with mom's wheelchair in there or one that i can tie down in the floorboard under his seat. Right now i have a Graco glider(or did have, i've returned it) and a britax preview.

ETA: Anyone have pics? Especically of how far they recline and how upright they are. TIA!!

probably not the answer you are looking for, but I personally ADORE my Inglesina Zippy. It's an umbrella folding stroller but when open is size of a 'regular' stroller. Mine is now over 4 years old and I ADORE IT!

It seems to be in the price range of your cielo stroller.

I was able to use a snug ride clipped into it and even now still use it with my 4 year old.

it fits nicely in any trunk and is truly ONE HAND open/close - so many times, I have a baby slung over one arm while i'm maneuvering the stroller open/closed. . . .

has a huge sun cover thingy on it and it has multiple reclines and i've even been able to remove parts of it to launder as i had a projectile puker . .. .

just something else to consider, lol.

BUT, if i were to choose one of the 2 you are thinking of, I'd get the one with the most padding and the widest seat. you'll get longest use out of it that way - esp since weight wise you said you're kids aren't big but their tushies grow and if you have jackets/etc on them it can get bulky and tight in a stroller seat. . . .(thinking from perspective of cold winters here where the kids get stroller rides often in heavy winter gear. . .)
