    I have an el cheapo from Kmart. It's great! Cost less than $50, lays back and is light and easy to fold. Steering is average but as I didn't need it for any long trips that wasn't an issue.
    We bought it when Darcy was 9months to take to Tassie on a driving holiday.
    Since then we've only used the 'big pram' for going for walks everyday - so we still use both.
    Now she's bigger, she walks obviously but sometimes she still asks for a stroller, so it's good just to store in the boot IYKWIM?

    I've previously bought a pooh bear stroller from target not sure on brand was around $80 and a stroller from big w can't remember brand was about $120, I found it great as both my monkeys got older. The only problem was they didn't last very long when we started walking to school and I ended up reverting back to the pram. I'd recommend a stroller for occasional shopping trips ect but not for long term use they just don't hold up as well as a pram. The wheels started to vibrate and shake and drove me bonkers.

    I've got a Mother's Choice shopping stroller. It's great. Can't remember the cost exactly but it was under $100 (around $80 I think) on special at the time from Kmart. It has room underneath for some shopping, has drink holders which come in very handy. It is only about as wide as me so I know exactly where it will fit when out and about and it is easy as to fold and unfold - one easy movement. Because of it's compact nature it doesn't take up much room in the boot.
