With number two coming in a few months I have been researching stroller options. I want/need a small stroller with an umbrella fold. I also want a stroller that work for a newborn with and without a car seat. The car seat we have is DD's Snugride 35, classic connect (not the newer click connect). It seems the only stroller that checks all the boxes is the Bumbleride Flite. Any that I am missing? TIA!
ETA: How is the Flite? No stores have it so if it is my only/best option I would have to order it online. I would prefer to try before I buy, but I guess I could return it if needed.

Is the Bumbleride Flite my only option?

So absolutely must be an umbrella fold, not a small square fold?

Yes, I find any other fold too cumbersome. I had a snap and go with DD and that was too big.

What about the cybex umbrella stroller? I thought those might be able to take a carseat. Although I have a cybes onyx, and I wouldn't want it to be my only stroller. If you are willing to compromise on the fold, I would go with a Valco snap or a city mini. I find the city mini fold easier than an umbrella fold, but that's just personal preference.

Will the Chicco Lightway Plus take a Graco seat? Although I'm not sure it's the best umbrella option out there for you.

I do like the onyx, but I can't find it anywhere...online or B&M store. Any idea where it's sold and how much it costs? Originally Posted by amom526

I don't know if it will work with a Graco car seat. Everything I am reading just says the Chicco car seat. I will keep looking though, thanks! Originally Posted by TwoBees

Hmm, so many strollers are compatible with the Click Connect seats but not the Classic Connect! Originally Posted by trcy

I'm not sure how comfortable I would be with that though, I would need to test it out first, personally. Also the Nano doesn't have an umbrella fold but does fold very compactly.
The Guzzie+Guss Sparrow says it works with Graco Snugride seats, but does not specify Click Connect or Classic Connect (http://www.guzzieandguss.com/sparrow...ler-p-175.html)Mom to a spirited, red-headed, former 28-weeker 10/2009 and a more mellow monkey 12/2013.

Yea, the click connect vs classic connect has been a major road block. Originally Posted by TwoBees

This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I am not opposed to the Flite, I just don't know much about it and I can't try it out before I buy because no stores around me carry it. I would just like other options in case I hate it.
Thanks for all the brain storming, I really do appreciate it!DD 12/10
