I think this one looks better, it's weighs a little less, but I don't know any of the other product comparisons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-a-lightweight-umbrella-stroller-rec-come-in#post-1639721 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:52:43 +0000 Smurfette 1639721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: We have this one! I love it. I do agree the cup holder sucks and I want a cup holder so I am going to look for something else.<br /> @Anagram: We went to get the Ignite but the sales guy sold us on this one instead. I can't remember why though, so not really any help to you....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-a-lightweight-umbrella-stroller-rec-come-in#post-1639709 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:49:03 +0000 Anagram 1639709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: any reason why you chose it over the Ignite? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-a-lightweight-umbrella-stroller-rec-come-in#post-1639701 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:47:01 +0000 bpcmarj 1639701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to go with The First Years Ignite and have a similar review to yours. DD is a VERY tall 2 year old and sits comfortably in it. DH and I are both 6 feet or over and it is very comfortable for us to push. It does have a cup holder and little pouch for parents but none for the child (but our regular stroller doesn't either). We used it at an outdoor festival for a week where we walked everywhere and I have zero complaints after that! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Years-Ignite-Stroller/dp/B002WB2GAM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Years-Ignite-Stroller/dp/B002WB2GAM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-a-lightweight-umbrella-stroller-rec-come-in#post-1639678 Fri, 16 May 2014 11:36:01 +0000 blackbird 1639678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for tall parents! I have a C6 and i'm constantly kicking the damn thing. Saving this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-a-lightweight-umbrella-stroller-rec-come-in#post-1639577 Fri, 16 May 2014 10:52:38 +0000 mrsjazz 1639577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought this for LO (2 years old) I have only used this stroller twice :grin: but if anyone is looking for a lightweight umbrella stroller, I just got the Summer 3D Lite Convenience Stroller and it's pretty great. We'll see how it holds up long-term but I think it's a great option for people wanting quality but not for Maclaren and UppaBaby prices. This stroller is $80, though I bought an open box on Amazon and got it for $65.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-lite-Convenience-Stroller-Black/dp/B00D4XZO2E/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-lite-Convenience-Stroller-Black/dp/B00D4XZO2E/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top</a></p> <p>Pros:<br /> -Lightweight, has a shoulder strap, so you can just collapse it and carry it on your shoulder.<br /> -5-point harness<br /> -max weight is 50lbs. (a lot of umbrellas go up to 40. I think the Volo and Uppa G-lite go up to 55)<br /> -high handles, great for tall parents! No kicking the back of the stroller. I'm 5'7" and DH is 6'3" it's perfect for both of us.<br /> -good for taller toddlers, too<br /> -it RECLINES!!! Almost fully flat, too.<br /> -storage basket is easy to reach (except if kid is fully reclined for a nap) and pretty big for an umbrella stroller<br /> -there's also a pocket on the back for your stuff, it's ok, not the greatest</p> <p>Cons:<br /> -Though it's easy to collapse, it is a 2-handed job, so if you have to keep an eye or hold your kid and collapse the stroller that could be a pain<br /> -the sunshade is cute, but not going to cut it for really sunny days<br /> -the cupholder is kind of a joke (but I don't need it) </p>
