I posted a few weeks ago that I need a lightweight stroller for my daughter who will be turning 2 during our disney trip. I really dont want to lug around the quattro and need to find a lightweight. Though I am a little more flexible than I was in my last post.....

I dont want to spend more than $130...dont want the sling type seat, want a nice comfy reclining seat, decent usable basket, decent sun shade, dont really want more than 15 pounds, good handling, not tippy with bags hung on it (important) a cup holder would be great as well as other storage but could be added I guess. I also would like it to be roomy enough to fit dd for a few years.

I have looked at the chicco's and my hubby kicks the wheels,
liked the maclarens but the basket seemed kinda unusable and I read in some reviews they are tippy,
like the mia moda veloce but have not seen one in person, looks nicer and roomier than the facile
zooper twist seems ok but have not seen it either,
Joovy groove looks nice too but have not seen it,
Combi was too wiggly, seemed unstable
DH also kicked the graco ones
Inglesina? look nice and I see people with them a lot

so you get the idea of what I am looking at...any feedback or help to narrow it down?

Someone posted here recently that there was a stroller rental place that rents out BabyJogger City Mini Doubles. I would imagine they have singles, too.

I really think the mini would be the way to go. It has a nice tall seatback and large canopy. The basket is not huge, but at least functional. And the fold is wonderful, you literally just pull up on a strap in the seat! It is very lightweight, I think 16#. I bought a Sunshine Kids Buggy Buddy (canvas parent cupholder) on ebay for about $12.

I'm not looking to rent, I definately need a smaller lightweight stroller for those times that the full size wont do. Also we are driving so I dont have to worry about needing to fly with it.
