Stroller shopping.

I need a new stroller for DS. I don't like Graco strollers. I need a lightweight stroller with a cup holder/food tray for him. I don't care if I have one or not. DS is 23lbs and 27months. I need one because he can't walk beside me when I shop because he won't stay there or hold my hand. He screams when I put him in his Chicco umbrella stroller. I think if he has a tray and some toys and a cup there to occupy him he will sit better. I saw these at albeebaby. Anyone know if they are any good? What are your opinions? The only one we have at a BRU/TRU near me is the Cortina.

I just sold my Aria and am already missing it. It is a great lightweight shopping stroller, has a fairly compact fold, and the 2009 (just $10 more on albeebaby) has a nice child's tray. If you care about the tray, it's well worth the $10 for the nicer one. The 2008's is worthless, IMO, but the 2009 has 2 nice deep cup holders. It is not great outdoors, but I loved it for shopping.

I considered both the Chicco strollers a couple years ago when I had a keyfit seat, but the cortina too bulky for me and I tripped over the Trevi. Although I have not seen it in person, I liked the look of the contours lite, but I think I found the folded specs to be too large for my needs. But it really depends on your needs.

I had a cortina. Not a huge fan. In comparison to the other travel system strollers, it's a nice stroller and has nice features, but I just found it to be bulky. I replaced it with a BJCM (and a Maclaren triumph) and am much happier with both.
Like Athena said, it really depends on what features are important to you...

Some kids outgrow the Cortina fairly quickly because the backrest is very short, you're little guy is already 2, so I wouldnt get it and its pretty bulky..
