We have a P&T but are wanting a more compact stroller for when we go away and for shopping. I have carriers but DD seems to fall asleep better in a pram if we are out and about.
We have looked at the jolly jumper venice one in Farmers and the steelcraft holiday layback stroller. We are erring towards the steelcraft at the moment but would love some feedback before we make a decision on these or other brands you have. My spending limit is $200 absolute max (I want to get a shade cover too as DD has fair skin) and would prefer to spend less if possible. I am also able to wait for specials if need be

I'd be inclined to just go for a very basic umbrella stroller as they are very compact and she'll probably stop sleeping in it quite soon (given her age). -------------  |

Thanks busymum I did think of that, she is still having 1-2 sleeps a day and I can't see her dropping sleeps completely for a while, sometimes it can be the best way to get her to sleep when she is overtired (especially when traveling) so even though we won't need the recline for long with her I'd still prefer it. We are also planning on having another baby this year or early next so it will be used again. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

We got a Mother's Choice stroller and used it from about 3 mths. It has a good incline on it. From memory it we got it from Farmers and it was a really gd price. We hardly ever use our MB..total waste of money ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I have the Jolly Jumper reclining stroller and loved it when we used it for DD. She would still occasionally sleep in it probably up to 2.5yrs so definately worth buying the reclining one! My sis bought a Steelcraft one and hated it, ended up selling it and is now borrowing my Jolly Jumper until I need it for DS ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

We also have the Jolly Jumper stroller. It has been absolutely thrashed and still gets used for when we are out for a long time with DD. She is far too big and heavy for it, but it still comes in very handy at times! One down side is it is a little heavy, but its worth it for the reclining and comfort ability. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yep we;ve got the Jolly Jumper reclining stroller too and its awesome, I use it for round the shops all the time and Tyler sleeps in it occasionally, more so when he was a bit younger but not so much anymore as he will normally last till we get home, but definitely a good choice ------------- http://lilypie.com">
