Umbrella Baby Strollers

Umbrella baby strollers are ideal for quick shopping trips or zoo adventures.

Since we live in a downtown apartment, my wife and I decided to invest in a umbrella stroller for Samantha once she turned 6 months.

We decided to go with the maclaren triumph because it met our needs:

• it is very portable and light
• folds easily and does not take up much room
• has a carrying capacity of 55 lbs
• has a waterproof hood (perfect for our downtown living)
• reclinable and weighs only 11.5 lbs

So we are very satified with this stroller. Now let's take a look at a few more umbrella strollers that you should also consider.

One of my favorites is the Valco Baby Latitude stroller.

This baby stroller reclines from a flat to an upright position. It weighs 19lbs and has a baby weight capacity of 40lbs, which is a bit less then the maclaren stroller we looked at earlier.

I know a lot of parents complain that their lightweight stroller does not have enough storage capacity. The Valco has a huge benefit since it has a roomy basket.

It's durability and adjustable handlebars tell me that it's a high quality stroller.

If you have a larger budget, you should definitely consider the Micralite Toro Stroller. It is known for it's excellent steering and maneuverability. When folded it will stand on its own (perfect for those tiny apartments/restaurants). While the inflated tires will assist you going up and down stairs.

As you can see below, it looks pretty cool/trendy. But that's obviously a secondary factor. Safety and reliability (just like a quality crib mattress) are always the top priorities.
