Micro vs. B-Agile vs. TFk Buggster vs. Starck

[beltm]

This is what i've narrowed it down to for a travel and mall stroller for my super tall and long-torsoed 3yo, as these all have at least 20 inch seatbacks and canopy height of at least 25 inches. I have a BJCE for my all-terrain (i've been using it for mall, zoo, everything but travel). Don't want to travel with it as it's heavy and bulky and i am hoping that the push and ride on the above listed strollers will suffice for travel and sightseeing in theme parks. DS still will fall asleep in a stroller. I can't test drive any of these (and i realize i've posted about this before :wink2:) but i'm hoping you ladies can help me make up my mind. We will be TTC soon, so the stroller will get more use from baby #2 hopefully, so i don't mind investing in a quality second stroller. I have a Mac Triumph that i am looking to replace with one of these, as his head is above the seatback now and i don't love the push/ride.

Since it's for travel i think ideally i would like a one-hand fold, which the buggster does not have. The Agile has an automatic lock on it which means technically i would need two hands to open it, but i'm sure at an airport someone could unlock it for me if my hands were full. I am leaning towards the Agile. I would also like a one-hand push, which again the Buggster doesn't have.

I also have a Micralite Toro which i liked but DS outgrew it a long time ago (well before age 2). So i could sell that as well if i found a replacement stroller that i liked. I had gotten that as my one and only stroller not realizing DS would outgrow it so young. Since i have the BJCE and am getting another stroller as a lighter weight mall and travel stroller, i probably don't need the Toro, right?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

If you want to use it with a second baby, I would rule out the Micro due to it's lack of full recline. That would rule out the Starck too, right? I don't know anything about the other two, sorry. (If you want to consider other options, the Cybexes are tall and the Onyx and Callisto have full recline.)

I love the look of the Buggsters, but it might not be ideal for travel.
I think the Starck will be the best travel stroller, and fit your 3 yr. old for quite a while. Plus it's such a great deal. But if your DS needs recline to sleep, I would go with the Agile I guess. (You can pre-order it right now from Albee Baby for $200 with 20% code pfathday2011).
The Toro is awesome for a smaller baby and it takes a bassinet and a riding board. If it was reversible, it would be a near perfect stroller. So I would probably hold on to it for a while, unless you plan on shelling out more money for something new & exciting when the time comes for another child.

Thanks for the advice. Really leaning towards the agile right now.

If you don't like the triumph's push, you won't like the starck either. At least the triumph reclines too for a younger child, the starck has no recline and it is longer (folded) than a regular mac. I love it, but I like macs.
