This category includes all strollers under 15lbs that are sometimes referred to as umbrella strollers. An umbrella baby stroller is a light weight stroller that has two U-shaped handles and folds in on itself. Some light weight strollers fold flat and do not fit the classification.

Light weight strollers can't carry an infant car seat and should not be used with babies under six months unless they have a reclining seat. They are primary designed for toddlers and due to their size will not offer the same features and accessories as full size strollers. Some areas to consider when looking for a light weight stroller are:

durability
comfort
convenient features or accessories
easily folded
safety

Light weight and umbrella strollers can cost around $10 to $800! Like anything else in this world, you get what you pay for. A good stroller can feel like it's worth it's weight in gold after a long day.

Pick a light weight stroller that is a nice mix between value and features and that fits your lifestyle in order to insure you get the most out of your purchase. You will most likely use this stroller a lot and will have it a very long time, so choose wisely.
