Default Perfect stroller

we're moving from the city to the suburbs and my ds will soon outgrow his snugride and kolcraft. i love my dreamer design jogger for long walks/runs but want a good, easily folded stroller for errands, shopping, etc. i'm considering the techno xt (but it doesn't seem that comfortable for longer trips)the zippy... any other suggestions? thanks!!

The Pliko/P3 or Chicco 2002/Trekking are two other good options! I have both of these and love them!! They are much more plush than the Maclarens and have the napper bar, which Colin loves to hold onto (or put his feet up on).

Oh, wow, you have both? Would you mind comparing/contrasting them?

I am interested in your opinion.

I have had a couple of Plikos, but have just played with P3's in stores.

And of course, I LOVE my Chicco 2002!

i've heard (or read on these message boards) that the plikos don't turn as well as the maclarens or the zippy and i really want a stroller to maneuver well in tight stores, etc ... any thoughts on the apricas? thanks!

Don't know about Apricas, but you might want to consider a zooper z-street-it is very easy to maneuver.

Yes Lori - tell us the difference! I'm looking at those two strollers right now and can't decide. I've heard the steering isn't as good on the Plikos, but was that for older models? Are the P3s better?

Also, I'm trying to figure out the difference between the 2002 and the Trekking - is it just the wheel size? As far as steering and folding, are they the same?

Thank you so much for any help you can offer!
