Liz - we bought an umbrella stroller as we were going on holidays and didn't want to take our massive pram, I have used it three times when have flown interstate and DS has been fine and comfortable in it, he first used it at 7 months as he could sit comfortably in it. The one I bought was a red 'holiday' brand from Big W - I think it was $89, it reclines almost fully so DS can lie almost horizontal when needed or sit completely upright, and is very supportive...... It has a canopy and basket underneath. We still use our big pram most of the time just because I prefer it (more room for shopping etc) but DS isn't fussed either way - Hope that helps
