Want a lightweight infant stroller ... Valco snap or ?

[u2ecila]

Hi,
We are expecting our first child within the next two weeks, and I am trying to find a lightweight infant stroller.

I am looking for:

15 lbs or less
Full recline or maxi cosi adapter (we have the cybex aton 2 car seat)
Easy fold
Upf cover
Holds baby bag
One hand push
Nice quality

We already bought a bob revolution at the rei sidewalk sale for when she gets bigger, but it is not compatible with the car seat. We do a lot of walking and road trips, so I think a light weight option would compliment the bob.

I am considering the snap and snap 4. Any other strollers I should consider? ($500 or less)

Thanks!

I can't remember if the Gluxe has a full recline or only a partial recline. Otherwise I believe it meets your other critera (besides taking a car seat).

The Baby Jogger City Mini single (3-wheel) has an optional adaptor for the Cybex car seat and weighs about 17 lbs. It also has a full recline. The sun shade is amazingly large and the stroller folds flat. It meets your other criteria as well. Ours has served us very well during the past 4 years.

I just bought the G-Luxe. It's recommended for 3 months and up and reclines to 120 degrees, not totally flat.

I have never been able to push an umbrella one handed for any distance, not even the good ones. So if it were me and that was an important factor, I would stick with the single handle bar strollers. I haven't ever had a lightweight one so I can't make any personal suggestions. I think the valcos you mention get good reviews as do the BJ City Mini and the Britax knock off (B-Agile?).

The Bugaboo bee has all the features that you want but it's a tab bit heavier, 20lbs I think. Still light. If you take off the seat and just use car seat adapters it would be even lighter. You can get an EUC one for $400 or so

how about a baby jogger versa? its a little heavier, i think 25lbs, but does take the anton and has great bassinet options and reversible seat. it has a great fold, compact and easy. i think it makes a great stroller combo with the bob.

The bob only weighs 26. The reversible feature is great, but I'm not sure I'd want two strollers so close in weight.

I still love my snap

The Snap is really nice and the car seat adapters for it are easy to use.

I love the Snap. I think it satisfies all the things you listed. Plus you can get air tires later if you want something for rougher terrain. However I would get the 4 wheel instead of 3. I have the 3 wheel and it's just not as stable as a 4 wheel.
