umbrella stroller help

[jacobsmommy]

Does anyone have any experience with the Britax Esprit Lightweight umbrella stroller? I am looking into getting an umbrella stroller for traveling? My son is 9.5 months old. Any recommendations?

Thank you.

You've probably bought something by now....

But - I HATE the Britax Esprit. I bought it sight unseen because I love their carseats. I left it with my mother for when we visit. I was really disappointed because I felt like I just threw money away.

It has a pull-cord seat adjuster, that never allows either kid to sit upright. It's too short (and I'm only 5'4'') and it's too small for my 2.5 year old.

I like any of the Maclaren products. I think the very lightweight one (Volvo?) is the same price as the Britax. I have the Techno which we take everywhere, but my sister bought the Volvo (or maybe it's the Quest) as a travel option and loves it.
