In the quest for the perfect stroller, many parents will end up eventually buying more than one baby stroller. The first (and typically their main stroller) will be purchased around the birth of the baby, perhaps the best selling Maclaren Techno XT Stroller or the fashionable but expensive Bugaboo
Cameleon Stroller. These baby strollers can provide a single-stroller solution for many parents. However, it is becoming increasingly popular to also buy a more lightweight stroller for shopping, day trips, etc. A lightweight stroller can also be kept permanently in the trunk of the car.

Lightweight baby strollers are typically not appropriate from birth as many will not be able to fully recline the seat. However for a 6 month plus baby, they can offer a convenient and lightweight solution. However, there is a balance between strength, practicality and weight.

When looking for the perfect lightweight stroller, we looked at the following key features.

• Lightweight - easy to hold and carry
• Small size when folded - can easily fit into a typical sedan trunk
• Low cost - offers value for money as a second stroller
• Strong - being light should not compromise the strollers quality

Please keep in mind that our ratings are based upon these criteria, and its use as a second stroller.

• Jeep All-Weather $28.75 (discounted price on Amazon.com)
• Graco LiteRider $53
• Chicco C6 $60
• Chicco C5 $90
• Maclaren Volo $100 to $130
• Britax Preview Onyx $140
