Umbrella Stroller

[Deleted]

I need a cheap/good umbrella stroller. Opinions? What should I avoid? What should I be looking for? Small is good because I'll be taking it on the bus/train as primary transportation. Bonus points if it's on Amazon.

OMG @led, I love that you're posting here!

When do you plan to start using it with LO? When I think of umbrella strollers, I'm think of ones the child needs to be able to sit up to ride in. I love ours although I don't think it is technically an umbrella. It's a mountain buggy nano. Not "cheap" but not expensive either and awesome for getting around by bus (my primary transportation also).

Not immediately. I likely won't use it until sitting isn't an issue. Just looking so I can add it to my registry.

We have the Chicco Echo, it's great. It was actually $20 cheaper two years ago when we bought it.

Things I like about it:
- the basket is a lot more accessible than a lot of other umbrella strollers
- basket is the perfect size to hold a reusable grocery bag
- it folds/unfold one handed, even no handed, so you can have the baby in one arm and get the stroller folded.
- handlebars height and position is comfortable

Nothing I don't like about it really. It's my go to stroller to take on the subway.

We have this one and love it. I also like that it has a carrying handle on the side, so when it is folded, you can carry it easily.
