I want/need a new stroller. :) I've been reading this forum now for a few days and it has left me more confused than ever, LOL.
I have a Chicco Cortina, that I adored with my second child. Now, for my third, it's feeling a bit rickety and the folding mechanism sticks sometimes so I'd like to get something else before I switch to my Trip. I have the Inglesina Trip from my second child, that I also loved. I had a Mac Triumph with my first and thought I loved it, until I got the Trip. It made the Mac seem so skimpy in comparison.
I feel like I still want a more substantial stroller for the baby, at the moment and am not ready to start using the Trip yet. This is my last baby, but he's only 4 months. He is also large (97% in height and weight) for his age so, I need to keep that in consideration too. Don't want him to "outgrow" it before I'm ready!
My thoughts on what I want:
-Easy fold
-Not too wide, as it will be used at the mall/shopping a lot.
-Smooth ride, it will also be used on grass/dirt for soccer games and such.
-Relatively lightweight, it doesn't have to be uber-light, but I don't want to break my back putting it in and out of my trunk!
-Prefer slightly higher than normal handle. The Trip handles were much better for me than the Triumph.
-Umbrella fold, generally I prefer this but am willing to look at others.
-I tend to prefer a more traditional looking stroller over some of the more modern designs.
Here are some I've looked at, and now I can't make up my mind. Some seem so similar to the Trip I already have they don't seem worth spending the money.
Peg Perego P3 or Si
Cybex - not sure which model, hadn't heard of these until I started reading here. I love the way the harness adjusts like a car seat though!
Baby Jogger City mini - not sold on the "3" wheel shape. But I am tempted, since I keep seeing how much people love this. Worried about the width.

So, what would you get if you were in my shoes, and why? I'm hoping to go see some in stores this weekend.
TIA!!!
