Compact & Light 7.CHEAP $$$ Any body have any suggestions on what we could try?? Thanks heaps ETA *we have an umbrella stroller that has no recline feature and no shopping basket and it's a pain in the bum..* -------------

We had a mothers choice stroller from farmers that was great. I haven't got around to listing it on TM, but if you wanna look I can post some pics. The only catch is that one of the breaks is a bit bent, it still works and the other break is fine but I wouldn't leave the stroller parked on a hill for an extended period of time. -------------

Oh yes, post some pics... I'm frantically looking for a stroller that's much smaller than my current one (it's a PITA for going on public transport etc because it's got big off road wheels and they stick out too far on either side) -------------

We used ours on buses and trains quite a lot so it's good for that and the boot of our last car was small and it fit in there with a teeny bit of room left (enough for 4-5 bags of groceries) and you only need to use one hand to open it and fold it closed again. It's no good for off road or jogging but great for wandering around the shops. I'll get some pics tonight and post them here for you. -------------

Thanks Jo
I don't jog so that's not a problem but we pound the pavements quite a bit.. the only reason we got the Bertini was because we were heading to the Taupo Jousting event when Keziah was a wee sprog and it's all on the grass etc and I know what it's like to push a stroller without shocks and small wheels over rough grass and it's not fun.... plus we only paid $50 for it so I shouldn't complain really!  -------------

I was looking at Baby Factory last night and they have umbrella strollers with a shopping basket for about $89. Can't remember whether it has a storm cover though, definately shade cover, the lie back ones are more $$ and bigger.
Think about when you will be using it. When Brooke was younger I had a bigger pram for longish outings (lie back, shopping basket, big wheels, easy to push but big and bulky) and an umbrella stroller for shorter outings to the shops. I kept the umbrella one in the boot all the time and only took the bigger one when I needed it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
