At what age can you use an umbrella stroller instead of the big bulky travel system?

My boy is 11 weeks old and sits up well in his big Graco stroller but it reclines a fair amount. What are your thoughts about the umbrella strollers? I really need something light and small for keeping in the house, getting the other stroller in and out is a pain! Should I get one now or wait? Should I get one with a 5 point harness (do they have those?) or just normal buckles?

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!

How does a Graco side by side stroller fold up?

I haven’t been able to find any pictures of a side by side stroller folded up. I just want to know if it just folds forward and how small it gets.
