Umbrella stroller

So, we just switched to a convertible car seat (Britax Marathon after much research). My 22 lb 7 month old has a bugaboo, but I need a good, lightweight, inexpensive stroller for in and out of the car. The local store is recommending the Inglesina Swift, but does anyone have it? I really need to be able to open and fold it easily....any suggestions?.....thanks!

Do not get the Inglesina Swift. It pushes horribly.
For the same price you can get the Maclaren Volo. It pushes like a dream, has a shoulder strap for easy transport, and is super light.

Maclaren Volo! Super light, super easy to open and close, basket on the bottom, uses most adaptable rain covers, great for airports and malls too! I use it with both of my kids- 2 yr old, 25ish lb, and 9 month old, 18ish lb.

Have the Inglesina Swift and I love it!
Never tried the Mclaren, so don't really have anything to compare it to...

The Volo does not recline....So the Inglesina Swift is good? I am reading that it does not steer well but the frum store recommended it. My baby is also really big.....anyone else have the Inglesina Swift? Thanks!

My son is only 7 months...if I want to give him a bottle or if he's tired in the mall, on the street, etc...I think I really do need the recline.

the maclaren quest is great folds quickly, folds small, and reclines
