I'm looking to stay under 150 dollar...I am considering the city micro, the maclaren triumph, maybe the graco mosaic. Anything else I should be looking at? I really only need it for an almost 6 month old. The only requirements are a small/medium basket and a compact fold as I have NO trunk space right now

The Britax Blink I would go with that over the Mac, I have a triumph but I like my sisters blink better.

I got the City Micro for my step daughter, it fits in her Mini Cooper. Small basket and doesn't fully recline, but I got it for $75 on clearance somewhere, which is a good price for a smaller stroller.

I have a Maclaren Quest and the BJ Micro. I the Micro. So easy to use, and DD and DN still fit with room to grow. It does not fully recline but both girls have napped in it no problems. I prefer the Micro over the Quest.

Cowmoo Blink!!! I'm so jealous. I so wanted Cowmoo. But I do like the Blink. My other vote is the BJCMicro.

Mini>Blink. For sure. If cost is a factor blink is solid. But I much prefer the mini to any stroller I've owned (and I've had a lot).

As far as trunk space, a book fold can be helpful or not based on the trunk itself.

I personally love my quinny zapp (not extra) it folds small the basket looks small but fits a decent amount. Comes with a rain cover too. The seat unzips too wash really easily, learned that during a poosplosion this summer!
We've taken it cross country a couple times, fits like a dream in all cars I've tried. Also I think it looks really cool. It doesn't recline but I park it with the breaks on and lean it back, he sleeps very well. Might be frowned on by some here to do that but I'm usually sitting next to him during naps

Flat (or really close to flat, anyway).

I haven't looked at strollers in years, so I have no idea what current choices are like, but you might want to check out zooper strollers. Back when I bought one years ago, they were good values because they weren't very well-known.
