What is the best lightweight stroller for a 2 year old?

We have a Graco Quattro stroller now (we got the travel system that came with the infant seat). It’s been terrific, but it’s looking a bit worse for wear.

I’m thinking I might like a smaller, more lightweight stroller and I’ve been trying to notice them when we’re out. It seems like older toddlers (our son is two, but tall) look uncomfortable in umbrella strollers and there is often little or no footrest and no storage at all.
Anyone had good luck with a lightweight stroller for their toddler??
Sorry - forgot to add that maneuverability is important - otherwise we’ll just buy a full size one like we have now. Thanks!

Ours is great- so lightweight, and easy to use. It folds up nicely too, leaving lots of room. It’s called a Combi-got it from Babies R Us…check it out, we went there, and tried it out before buying it. I love it!

I have the Combi DX and I love it. It does have a foot rest and removeable front bar. It folds up TWICE and has a carrying strap attached, so it’s great for travel. It’s pretty light weight.
Now, it does NOT have much for way of storage…it has a little basket underneath, but I can never fit anything in there! I just hang a bag from the back. The front wheels turn all around for good manuvering, but you can lock them to stay straight. The back wheels have the “brake”, on each wheel.
I love it but I read some reviews and taller people have a tendancy to kick the back wheels, but I am not too tall and have not had that problem.

Maclaren is the best stroller out there, very durable, nice looking, folds and unfolds easily. We’ve had two for two years now and our twins at 4 1/2 have just grown out of them. Good luck

I have a Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Stroller and I love it. You can see lots of reviews of umbrella strollers at the following link.

Maclaren, Maclaren, Maclaren. I have big babies too. They are always in the 95% height. We have the maclaren techno xt, love it, and we also had the Maclaren Volo-Loved it as well.
