It's a lightweight full size stroller. The seat is reversible and can be used from birth without a car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616151 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 12:35:26 +0000 Aria 2616151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: you have to lock the front wheels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616144 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 12:15:53 +0000 lilyofthewest 2616144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: @pachamama: I also have a Zoë stroller. Am I missing some trick to get it to stay upright when it is folded? That's my big gripe with it-- it falls down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616100 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 09:47:54 +0000 Ginabean3 2616100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the G-luxe. I did a lot of baby wearing and then would push my toddler in the G-luxe. Now, the baby sits in the G-luxe and the toddler walks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616099 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 09:47:37 +0000 pachamama 2616099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: we are #unique. I read about 93489230 reviews before I settled on it. I wish the wheels would navigate bumps a littttttttttle better but I am 90% happy and for me, that's good haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616056 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 01:00:33 +0000 birdofafeather 2616056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the nano last summer before S was born and I'm a huge fan. We traveled with it via air and I've used it with our infant seat after S was born and just as a regular stroller. Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616027 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 21:07:34 +0000 Boogs 2616027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MB Nano is the best stroller we own, I love it so so much! @Mrs. Pen: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616022 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 20:45:16 +0000 catomd00 2616022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my contours bliss for a full size but light and my valcobaby snap duo for a double. Had I been able to test the single version (snap ultra I think?) I would have gotten that over the bliss for a slightly smoother ride than the bliss (judging by how my duo rides). Love the g-luxe if you want an umbrella stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616018 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 20:43:37 +0000 Aria 2616018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: We got the Zoe too and I LOVE it! So much better than the giant 25lb stroller I had before. I've never seen anyone else with one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616012 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 19:54:17 +0000 rockinghorse 2616012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the MB Mini at 16.8 lbs. It folds up super simply and is small enough to fit in the trunk of my compact Scion XD. It is super maneuverable, and the front wheel will lock into position if needed. You can get the carrycot for it which will provide a bunch of different positions, and the MB scooter can be attached. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616011 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 19:44:16 +0000 HLK208 2616011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's not a full size stroller but the UB g-luxe has been amazing! It's so light weight. I can fold it and unfold it while holding Nora. I pushed Elly around in it while baby wearing Nora as an infant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616010 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 19:34:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2616010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: this? The Freerider? I had NO idea- and wish I had heard of that before I told MIL what scooter to get for her bday this summer. </p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: there you go- MB Nano got even better. </p> [attach=2307/16/od09la.338x600.image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616009 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 19:33:44 +0000 avivoca 2616009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Bumbleride Flyer! It folds nicely and you can switch the orientation to have baby facing you or facing away. It has been discontinued but you might be able to find them used. I bought mine two years ago on a mommy swap in excellent condition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2616000 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 19:10:11 +0000 Trailmix 2616000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: pretty sure you can do a ride-on board with the Nano, at least according to Google and FB stroller groups!</p> <p>My picks for lightweight strollers are: UB G-Luxe, MB Nano, Zen Yoyo and BJ City Mini </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615994 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 18:25:36 +0000 pachamama 2615994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got the Zoe Deluxe and I love it! Super light, amazing canopy, good storage. No extras tho really for your other LO. Its a 9 lb umbrella stroller. I use it to walk my city streets almost daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615993 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 18:14:10 +0000 Ms.Badger 2615993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started reading this thread knowing we needed to buy a travel stroller and started to do some research. I decided that mountain buggy nano checked the most boxes on my list. If you decide similarly, it is $100 less at Walmart than Amazon. Just a heads up, I obviously have not tried the stroller yet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615988 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 17:39:27 +0000 yin 2615988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd recommend getting an umbrella stroller. It's really all I ever need, even with two kids. Most are light weight and compact. I have a 4 year old UB gluxe that's still going strong. Easy to carry up and down the stairs (strap) and stands up by itself. We've traveled a lot with it, and I have no complaints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615972 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 16:32:33 +0000 sandy 2615972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: we have the Maclaran Mark II for our umbrella stroller too and I love it!! So light for travel! What sold us was a review that said it's lighter than a gallon of milk and it has that shoulder strap making it easy to carry around </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615966 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 14:59:52 +0000 catlady 2615966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had 3 that could be considered light weight. We have a maclaren mark 2, which weighs pretty much nothing (7 lbs) and is definitely an umbrella stroller, but great for travel and on nice flat surfaces. Our normal everyday stroller is a city mini GT, which is 21 lbs, and great on uneven sidewalks. We used to have a regular city mini, which I think was 17 lbs, and almost perfect but I just wanted better wheels for the times when it snows around here (the city mini gets stuck in the snow, the gt is pretty good in a couple inches). None of these can face inwards though. The city minis can technically have a glider board attached but it gets pretty bad reviews so I haven't tried it. </p> <p>We have #2 coming soon and I'm considering getting a joovy caboose ultralight, although I'm assuming I'm going to run into a problem with snowy days with this stroller as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615964 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 14:49:45 +0000 MrsKoala 2615964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I borrowed a Chicco lite way from a friend for a flight and that thing was soooo light! I loved it. Easy to fold as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615957 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 14:26:57 +0000 magnolia 2615957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a joovy ultralight. It's 13 lbs, folds easily, and has a recline. No backwards facing though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615953 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:50:20 +0000 Cole 2615953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our nano, I feel like it does better on bumps etc than the uppa baby umbrella stroller but certainly not as well as my city select. The fold is awesome and it has a very roomy basket for the size of the stroller and it's easily accessible. I also really appreciate that it's weighted well so I can hang my skip hop duo diaper bag on it without worry of it tipping over unless I have a lot of water in there (like it is only mildly tippy of I have a 22oz life factory water bottle AND a thermos fort my daughter.) I haven't looked into a buggy board but maybe one of the universal ones would work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615950 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:41:37 +0000 hitchhiker 2615950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Several people in my neighborhood (urban row homes) moms group have been raving about the mountain buggy nano recently. Apparently they like it even on our terrible city sidewalks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615949 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:35:14 +0000 sandy 2615949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea bc I have the UBV and it's super heavy </p> <p>I think the Joovy Caboose is supposed to be light but I've never used it </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=joovy+caboose+ultralight&#038;tag=hydsma-20&#038;index=aps&#038;hvadid=30686986434&#038;hvpos=1t1&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=18359177630871813885&#038;hvpone=&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=e&#038;hvdev=m&#038;hvdvcmdl=&#038;hvlocint=&#038;hvlocphy=1027773&#038;hvtargid=kwd-4332608867&#038;ref=pd_sl_66b0cj53e_e&#038;gclid=Cj0KEQjwjK--BRCzv-Wyu4OTosEBEiQAgFp5OA7ihr2dVgjOr5ySTckPRFN0S3KAUdiCf2dY3v5QHrEaAtuN8P8HAQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=joovy+caboose+ultralight&#038;tag=hydsma-20&#038;index=aps&#038;hvadid=30686986434&#038;hvpos=1t1&#038;hvnetw=g&#038;hvrand=18359177630871813885&#038;hvpone=&#038;hvptwo=&#038;hvqmt=e&#038;hvdev=m&#038;hvdvcmdl=&#038;hvlocint=&#038;hvlocphy=1027773&#038;hvtargid=kwd-4332608867&#038;ref=pd_sl_66b0cj53e_e&#038;gclid=Cj0KEQjwjK--BRCzv-Wyu4OTosEBEiQAgFp5OA7ihr2dVgjOr5ySTckPRFN0S3KAUdiCf2dY3v5QHrEaAtuN8P8HAQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615940 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:11:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2615940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my Mountain Buggy Nano- it's perfect for carrying up and down stairs because it folds up super small. And it's very light. You can also put an infant car seat in it with no adapters (it has a belt thing that you loop through the seatbelt path)- but it's not as quick and easy as a snap and go. The basket is fairly small but that's true of all light strollers. And reclines pretty far back though not flat. </p> <p>Downside- it's definitely a travel stroller and wouldn't be great on bumpy surfaces like a full size stroller, and no option for a double or a buggy board. And the fold is quick and easy but requires too hands. </p> <p>I just really love how small it folds- like the size of a briefcase.</p> <p>Eta: you cannot turn the seat to face you, though with the infant car seat in it the baby would be facing you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615939 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:11:37 +0000 pwnstar 2615939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about an UPPAbaby Cruz? It's right around 20 pounds and has the features you're looking for. I don't have a Cruz, but I do have an UB G-Luxe and absolutely love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615918 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 12:20:03 +0000 gentlelunette 2615918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one of these, but I'm planning on purchasing the double version soon. I'm in a stroller group that absolutely raves about the Valco brand of strollers. They're pretty reasonably priced. This one is able to forward/reverse face and I *think* you can buy a ride on board attachment. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Valco-Baby-Lightweight-Reversible-Stroller/dp/B00U6E2378" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Valco-Baby-Lightweight-Reversible-Stroller/dp/B00U6E2378</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-lightweight-strollers#post-2615908 Sun, 04 Sep 2016 11:16:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2615908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Recommend your favorite lightweight stroller!</p> <p>We've used the jeep stroller for my son since he was born, but it's 30 lbs and SO big. Since living in an apartment it's just been really tough to use and store. So I'm looking into something else for my second baby. </p> <p>What are your recommendations?<br /> I would also really like the kind of seat you can face forward or backward, if possible.<br /> Bonus if it'd include a seat or riding board for DS- but not a must! </p>
