I am going to be travelling in April and I don't want to lug my giant stroller with me through the airport. I am in the market for a lightweight stroller, under $100 with a basket, canopy, and hopefully tall handles. Every umbrella type stroller I have tried has made me feel like I was pushing a toy!
Bonus points for full recline as I am going to try to get her to nap while on vacation.

@bpcmarj: the only umbrella stroller actually marketed towards tall people that I know of is the Mclaren. It is like $170? But maybe try and find a used one on craigslist!

@bpcmarj: we have the bumble ride flite which has a full recline. I was using it in Salem. Im sure you can get a older model under $100.
We got the Ils a first year ignite which doesn't have a *full* recline but it's decent. Def very lightweight. I got it on nbd for $28.99 before taxes and shipping.
Obviously DH is 6'3 and FIL is 6'6" and no complaints from either of them on both.

@CupQuakeWalk: someone is selling one on my local FB page...will have to check it out. I think she wants like $40 for it, so that's a steal!
@locavore_mama: thank you! Will take a look. Will have to look at pictures from Salem and check yours out

I'm 5'9" and love our First Years Ignite! Higher handles, fits the budget, and reclines

@bpcmarj: I'm an idiot. Mine was also the Ignite not the Jet. I flew with the ignite solo with M. My only complaint is I wished it was easier to close up.

Not under 100, but I love our uppa baby g luxe. I'm 5'7, DH is 6' and it is very comfortable for us. If you don't care about a recline, the g lite is also great!

Britax B-Nimble. I think you can find them for <100 now. It has super tall handles and a full recline. The canopy could be better, but never bothers my LO. It's definitely and underrated stroller!
