    Default Best umbrella stroller for tall 2 yo

    Hello, my DS is now two and I'm ready to get an umbrella stroller. We've been using a City Versa since he was born but I'm looking for something lightweight now. Here are my priorities:
    -lightweight (the Versa is so heavy!)
    -my DS is super tall so I need something he won't be too tall for in 6 months
    -easy to push (in stores and on sidewalks- nothing too rugged)

    What do you all recommend? Thanks for your help!

    I have a versa and a mac quest, but it's about 8 years old. I love the combo. The quest is great for just what you mention. But I'm not sure what newer options would be.

    I love my Mac Triumph, it is 8 yrs. old and if I had a another child and needed to replace it I would.

    I also love my Mac Triumph; I have used it since DD was about 6 month old and 4 years later still use it.

    I think the G-luxe and G-lite are good for tall kiddos. I have also heard that the MB Nano has a tall canopy. Macs also get a lot of love in general. And the BRU Zobo is another inexpensive one to check out, it has a nice standing fold but I don't recall whether or not it is good for tall kids as my kids are small (and I don't have it...yet).

    I have a Maclaren Techno that is almost 10 years old. Purchased when my DD was 2 and I now use it for my 4 yo when he wants to ride and my 1yo nephew. It is a great stroller for tall kids. My son is 45" and still rides without complaints. I love that it folds up small but it still has all the perks of a full size stroller. I still can't believe it has lasted so long.

    I bought a Cybex Ruby, but the more upscale Cybex's should work for a tall child as well. I recommend you try out anything you buy (if possible), since I bought our strollers before learning that DS does not like to recline.
