I need some help figuring out what type of stroller i need.

i have a 19 month old soon. i usually carry DS in carriers & slings, but now that he is older i intend on using a stroller more. i live in the suburbs & drive most everywhere, however, we are in walking distance to a park, a pool & some shops. i have a bob revolution that we use for walks around the neighborhood & runs. i just recently sold a schwinn freewheeler, because i didn't see a need for 2 jogging type strollers. i imagine i will use the new stroller if i go to the mall (which is rare), the zoo, traveling. i also foresee having another child in the next year or 2 & using this stroller for DS while wearing the new baby in a carrier.

i would like a stroller that has decent storage, maneuvers well, large canopy & that is easy to throw into my trunk. one handed steering is a plus. oh & i'd prefer something that isn't more that $250-300. i am looking at some sale 2010s so i may be ok if the stroller is originally more. i would prefer something that isn't a 3 wheeler or jogging stroller like.

is there anything that actually fits my needs? oh & i have been looking at a variety of strollers - peg perego si lightweight 2010, joovy scooter, zooper bolero 2010. i have already decided against maclaren triumph & quest.

thanks for reading. :)

The si was the first that popped into my head so it sounds like you are on the right track.

Bumbleride Flyer in spice is $305 at diapers (http://www.diapers.com/product/productdetail.aspx?productid=17713&site=CI&cm_mmc=cse-_-googlebase-_-strollers-_-UE-004&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=UE-004). Free 2 day shipping and Free returns if you don't like it.

The inglesina zippy is $287 here (http://www.justkidsstore.com/prod/inglesina/zippy-stroller/ecru). I would PM to diapers for the above reasons.

zooper waltz (http://www.diapers.com/product/productdetail.aspx?productid=36049) is $224 at diapers

quinny zapp is $160 at albee baby (http://www.albeebaby.com/quinny-zapp-stroller-2009-black.html?utm_source=Google_Products&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=GoogleProducts)(you can PM to diapers)

valco lattitude (http://www.diapers.com/product/productdetail.aspx?productid=14911)is $260 at diapers.

I would look up the strollerqueen and baby gizmo reviews of the above. Narrow it down to your two favorites. Order both from diapers.com and send back the loser.
