Travel stroller recommendations please

friends of mine swear by quinny zapps - i think its the zapp anyway, could be the buzz. They take it as carry on luggage, and have travelled all over the world with it from when their kids were really little. you can pick them up on TM for around $200-250. I have been looking for a travel stroller too recently, and TBH most of the umbrella strollers that fold up tiny are very flimsy, and i just don't think they would work for us, so saving up for a quinny as we travel a lot. I imagine it would be easy to resell the quinny after you had used it, esp if you buy it secondhand :-)

I recently bought a Milano layback stroller for travel and I found it fab. It's kind of that step up from the super cheap, non recline umbrella strollers but still folds up pretty small. It reclines far enough for my 7 month old to have a great sleep, nice sunhood, big basket, easy to steer. I picked it up for $50 on TM (great condition) but I have seen them on sale for $100 at babycity. They're also the exact same as the Jolly Jumper layback stroller which farmers has on sale quite often for about $120. Milano stroller

We got a quicksmart stroller, they are about $250, I think, and found it good, its small enough to fit in overheads and is quite light and comes in a bag. It reclines to 45 degrees so while wasn't great for a 6mo, I find its fine for my boys to sleep now they are older.

The new Phil and teds smart strollers look good too.

I love our Quicksmart stroller. I used to it take our then 8 month old to Australia (was flying with just baby and me) and found it easy to set up, easy to fold down and lightweight. As Phoenix was only 8 months at the time, I had to buy a suitable insert to make it a bit more comfy. Once we got back from Holiday we nearly did away with his normal pram.
