The best umbrella stroller under $60?

[amie]

Hi all! This is a blast from the past for me. I was a frequent poster in 2000 when I got married and in 2003 when I was pregnant. I return 8 years later (and three kids later!) to ask about umbrella strollers. My youngest is three and we rarely need a stroller for her -- we usually use it at zoos and museums to carry our stuff. My beloved Peg Perego Plinko bit the dust and I lost my Volo. I've been trolling the local consignment places but can't find anything. Would love your advice for a a lightweight stroller with a basket hopefully under $60. Thanks!

You can get another volo on the ebay store for $58 I believe or albee baby has a britax blink for $69, a little over I know. Sorry can't post links but am sure someone else will!:)

I think that these are the best quality you'll find brand new, and that will work well for your 3 yr. old.
Have you looked on Craigslist?

I'd probably get another volo. But you could also look at the cybex ruby. Some previous year models are available for around $80--more than your budget I know, but a pretty good price. I have the onyx, I'm not sure if anyone here has the ruby?

You just missed a sale on the Maclaren Starck on Albee. It was $55 shipped. Now it is $80 shipped. Not quite as good of a deal, but a great stroller for your three year old and unlike the Volos on Ebay it comes with a rain cover and travel bag and is from an authorized dealer.

For a 3 year old I think your best bet is a MAC. Remember you can always sell it for a good price in a year or 2 when your done with it.
