Swift, Triumph, or Spirito?

[jka1217]

I'm helping a friend choose a new lightweight stroller. Her DS is 16 1/2 months, about 22 pounds, not sure on height, but probably about 30-31". She likes the color red and she's looking to spend around $100. I showed her some choices, and she's narrowed it down to the Inglesina Swift, the Maclaren Triumph, and the Mia Moda Spirito. I have a Triumph, so I'm very familiar with it, but not sure how the others compare to it.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Thanks in advance!

I have not played with a Mia Moda in person, but I did a lot of research because I was looking for an economy priced but sturdy reclining umbrella. Personally, I think the Mia Moda Facile fits in this group of strollers better: http://www.csnbaby.com/Mia-Moda-1101-FLM-MIA1055.html

The negatives I read about the Spirito is the material behind the footrest not accomodating larger kids' feet. Also the basket looks like it won't be as accessible as some of the other brands. The pro is that the handles are tal at 43".

I'm deciding between the Graco IPO for $55 and the Quest for $119. I can't remember why I ruled out the Swift. Maybe it has a lower weight recommendation or lower handle height. Those were my main decision makers.
