My son is a big guy and just outgrown his Graco Snugride infant car seat, so I need to find an appropriate "real" stroller for him.
After much research, I don't really see anything I love, especially that would be appropriate for a 5-month old. Cost is a factor and I'd like to keep this to the low-mid 100s.
I use a stroller for outdoor walks (nothing heavy-duty, no off-terrain) and for all sorts of errands. And I live where there's winter. I want something lightweight so that errands aren't tough and because I live in a second-floor walkup and have to carry the stroller up and down the stairs every time I use it.
I looked at the Peg Perego Aria since I see that one a lot where I live, but I see that one is not at all well-reviewed on this site and what good is a stroller if the canopy can't keep the sun off my son's head?
Also looked at the Maclaren Triumph but it has the same sun canopy issue and more importantly it seems like a 5-month old wouldn't really be ready to ride in that one.
Sorry to go on for so long, but can anyone help me?
