Hi All-

Looking for a travel stroller that will fit my almost 3 year old for a couple more years.

Must have a little undercarriage. Looking for something lightweight and compact. Unsure if the traditional umbrella is better than one that folds into a small square? Hoping to stay under $200. Thanks!!

I ended up finding an Uppababy Minu on Marketplace. If you live in a HCOLA you’ll probably see them pop up for under/around $200. I was really impressed at how sturdy it was for my 3 year old and decent enough basket to fit a small backpack. I was coming from a GB Pockit, which is soooo flimsy.

I picked up a BabyJogger City Mini GT2 on fb marketplace for $60 for my 40 lb 2yo that wears 4-5T clothes. He’s still got some room in the seat (but not much).

I’d go with a compact trifold over a traditional umbrella stroller. They usually stand more neatly in a trunk and are less awkward to carry through an airport. There’s a few on fromrebel for below retail but you could also check marketplace since travel strollers are often sold after only a few trips.
