So far we've gotten by with our car seat snap in frame and Bob Ironman stroller... but I'm ready for an everyday, light, travel friendly, smaller, easy to manuever option. We're flying to Seattle in 2 weeks and I REFUSE to take the Bob (though tempted to let the hubby attempt it because I know how big and bulky it will be and can't imagine taking it on plane - but he thinks it would be fine :)) - and even though the car seat snap in stroller would work Warren is almost 9 months old and he wants to be sitting up and checking everything out. Ya know.

I'm in love with the City Mini. But then started thinking about the City Select - if we're going to have another child soon makes sense to have a stroller that converts to a double. I'm not sure I can wrap my head around spending 8-900 for a stoller though (by the time you get all the pieces).

So - do any of you have either stroller? Have you flown with it?

Does anyone have a less expensive umbrella stroller they love that still has some bells and whistle. I wouldn't mind going SUPER CHEAP - but want the stroller to be sturdy and would be nice to have recline :)

Gracias!! (Sadly I live in BFE and it's hard to actually demo any of these options unless I'm traveling to visit family in the big cities :))

I really like the Chicco Lightway they have a BRU now.  OMG Mom (aka Mrs. Dumpling) did a post about it on her blog.  It is classified as a lightweight/umbrella stroller but it has a great canopy , decent basket and a pretty good recline (although when reclined it does block access to the basket underneath).  I think it runs about $150-$170

Thanks - I'll have to check both of these out.
