OK, so I'm not so up to speed with the strollers...
I have a Chicco Caddy, which I felt at the time was a necessary evil (tiny stroller, great for quick trips, and I bought it for ~ $20) and a BOB Rev, which I LURVE for all the right reasons
But, now I'm going to Tennessee to visit my mom for a week. I need a stroller for the airport, and also for hoofing it around the Memphis Zoo, in the neighborhood (not really a suburb, but not a crazy country-like road either. It's kind of bumpy? If that makes sense. We had the BOB last time we were there when we drove and it was great, of course). I was planning on just taking the Caddy and dealing, but I REALLY dislike it for the zoo, and it's not a great push, says the lady who's used to the BOB. And we just got our tax return, which turned out to be more than we expected. And I want to buy ONE THING before DH steals it all for house repairs.
So, my actual question: There's the Volo, which is like the net-y seat, right? Is it hot in the sun/summer? Because it'll be used almost exclusively in the hot hot summer. I'm thinking it might be nice because of the air travel, but not if it's plastic-y.
And this is one of those questions that I know makes me look stupid. Triumph vs Quest Sport vs Quest Mod. What is the difference? Is that like someone asking the difference between the Blvd, MA, and DC?
So I want one that will fold up OK, but it doesn't have to be umbrella stroller tiny - I'll be pushing it though the airport, and gate checking it. But is the Volo too light? Will I be able to hang my carry one bag on the back without it tipping over (my test of sturdiness)? I'm taking the Radian and carrying it on my back, so I don't need to be able to haul the carseat with it.
:scratcheshead:
ETA: I'd also like to be able to eventually attach a boogy board in the future, so DD can hang out on it and the eventual baby can be in the stroller.
