My 14 month old is 30 lbs 33 inches and our current lightweight stroller, a Graco Citilite, is now a struggle to steer with the front wheels sticking on turns. Lubricating the wheels has made it just bearable. I bought this stroller for the 40 lb weight limit but am now realizing that not all strollers work well as babies get heavier, especially the lightweight strollers. I looked at the Combi Savvy DX or Ultra Savvy, but now hear they don't steer well with heavier kids either. Some possibilities:
Maclaren Volo/Triumph/Quest - not sure baby would like the seat angle
Peg Perego Aria
Inglesina Swift
Chicco Caddy - does this work past the 33 lb weight limit?
I cannot try out any of these locally. Does anyone have experience with any of these strollers and 30+ lb kids? Any other stroller recommendations? Features I'm looking for:
-weighs less than 13 lbs
-has at least a 40 lb weight limit
-steers well up to that limit - one handed even?
-I am 5' 10" so stroller height is important
-some recline
-easy to fold
This would be for errands/shopping so mostly smooth surface.
Thanks,
Gail
