Lightweight full features stroller?

laurenrachey · Jul 13, 2007

I hear everyone talking about Macs, but the seem a little plain to me, especially for the price. I like to have some of the extras. We have a Combi EX (or DX I can't remember). I love how compact it folds, I can slide it into the floorboard between the seats instead of having to put it in the back of my SUV. BUT it doesn't push as well as I'd like. My little guy is about 28lbs. I looked at the P3 and I love it, but some people were saying it has pushing issues around 30lbs. (?) So does a lightweight stroller exist that...

pushes well with bigger kids
has some extras (like child tray, parent cupholder)
has a large canopy (Combi's is a joke unless the sun is directly overhead and he's sitting back against the seat, or the sun is behind us)
I'm not AS concerned about how super light it is, up to 16 or 17 would be okay.

PS Anyone know how much the Chicco c1 weighs?

I think I've narrowed down some choices:

Peg Perego P3
Chicco C1
Baby Planet Solo Deluxe

Well, I don't have a child over 30lbs in my P3 at the moment. The one who rides in it is 18lb and it pushes great. I really like the suspension of it.
I did have my 3yo 35lb son in it right after we first got it and it seemed fine, but maybe over time it has issues, so someone else that has had theirs longer will have to chime in on this one.
As far as the P3 overall as a stroller goes, I LOVE it!
It doesn't fold quite as compactly as a Mac but it is compact for a fuller featured stroller. I love that the sunshade folds all the way down to they bar/tray!!! That is awesome. I also love how easy it is to fold and unfold.
The tray for the child is standard and there is no parent tray, but it does have a cupholder on the back that holds a typical thinner bottle or water.
I hope I have helped somewhat.

I love my P3...I've had it since they originally came out and have nothing negative to say about it!
