@Ginabean3: I think the reclining feature and how necessary it is really depends on how often you'll use the umbrella stroller and if your LO is a good stroller napper.

If you live in a car-centric environment and only use strollers occasioally and an umbrella stroller even less than your regular stroller, I would say paying the extra $$ might not be necessary.

Or if your LO doesn't nap in strollers anyway, it's probably not necessary.

I have a few Texas friends who splurged on very expensive reclining umbrella strollers and have used it maybe once. As for the convertible car seat--I have no advice. We've flown several times but still with the infant seat. Not sure what we'll do when LO moves up to a convertible soon.

@Ginabean3: we took a cheapo umbrella stroller and her regular carseat. We strapped the carseat to a collapsable dolly so it would be easier to take around the airport.
