Default I want a new stroller!

Okay, likely it may not happen, but play with me, will you?

I want 4 air-filled tires, non-jogger, you don't have to take it APART to fold it up, not HORRIBLY-heavy (but I realize it's likely not a lightweight), good for taller parents(not a must, but it'd be nice for 6' Dh), reversible handle(just asking if it exists, probably doesn't), napper bar/snack tray, parent tray...decent canopy...basket...

I would check out the Bebecar strollers. I think babyuniverse.com has some styles. They sound close to what you are looking for. Some are really heavy, some are medium. The colors are beautiful. I would love one, but have too many strollers as is.

Yes, I love the Bebecars, too! But they are a little pricy.

In the mid-range price, you might look at the Zooper Walk Air. (sp?). And in a lower price range, Baby Trend makes one, (navigator maybe?)

Don't forget prams! Silver Cross and Emmaljunga are my faves. The old style white tires were not air-filled. But the new black ones are. I have both styles, and I think the white ones work just as well, AND I don't have to worry about flats, or pumping them up.

Thanks SQ!

What about the Bertini M5 Shuttle? I'm seeing quite a few on eBay...

I think Bertinis are an acquired taste. Some people love 'em, some people hate 'em. I had trouble maneuvering one, especially backing up. For me, fixed wheels are easier, or 3-wheeler swivels, such as the MB or Kiwi.
