umbrella stroller for travel with 1y.o. +

[belfie]

I'm about to go on a little holiday and I've been meaning to get a little light umbrella stroller - it's really just for in & out of airports, shopping centres etc and DS is 1 now so it doesn't have to cater for newborns. Once we reach our holiday destination I have a Valco I can borrow.

So.... are there any good ones that won't break the budget? DH is 6'4" so something that has a bit of height would be good. Plus if it's an expensive one I'll look on ebay, but I'd like something that is good. FYI I have a P&T sports which I'm a bit "meh" about (don't like the brake, and the straps... but that's a whole 'nother story).

DS loves our mcclaren vogue he finds it is better high for him to push than phil and ted dash.

Its not as cheap as other strollers but well worth the money I think.

I picked up a maclaren on ebay for cheap and it's been wonderful, very light and easy to pop open and shut with one hand.

Ours is a Maclaren too, think it was about $120 or something. DH is 6'1 and loves it - the SnS pram we had was just too small for him.
It is quality, has travelled across the country in a plane a few times now and is in top notch condition. Would buy another in a heart beat (the chair still reclines a bit too, is comfy for DD...)

I'm just using a stroller from Big W that cost just under $100. DH is 6'5 and has no problems using it, and we can both get it set up and folded back down with one hand. I've forgotten the name of it, but I know they have a 'new' model out (which is basically identical,just with curved and padded handles instead of straight ones) and it's the same price (I think $98 or so). We've had it since DD1 was a newborn (so over 2 years now) and despite being bashed around and used nearly every day, it's still in pretty good nick and now DD2 is using it. Pretty good investment, I think. HTH
