Hi everyone I have a very small 5 yr old that I need a stroller for. He is so busy that it is hard to take him anywhere if he is not in a stroller. He only weighs 33 lbs and still wears a 3t.Does anyone have any suggestions for a sturdy stroller.Thanks

Hi ,

I know I used a jogging stroller with my son when he was younger. It

was sturdy and lasted a long time. Got mine at Target back then and I

used it everywhere! They run about $100 up. the material is very

sturdy and made for wear and tear .it lasted us well.

>Baby jogger strollers hold up to 75 lbs and some even more. I bought

one for my NT daughter and she is 4.5 now and fits in it still. Also,

I think that there is a jogger type stroller for children with special

needs but it was around 700 dollars and was Baby Jogger.

Good luck

I just got a Maclaren Volo at Target, $99 goes up to 55 lbs and has a 5 pt harness. ALso had been eyeing the Graco Ipo, but could not see one in person. My son is 4, active and a smart little toot who had figured out how to lean forward and walk off with his umbrella stroller still belted to him, and was too big for his " big strollers " --he could turn partway around in the 5pt and pull up on the sturdy back to get out of the belt. The Volo is just like an umbrella stroller with the soft sling seat, but has a spot for packages (or busy toys) underneath the seat.
