beware the citi mini. I had a slightly better/bigger one from the same company and it tipped constantly (backwards!) anytime I put bags in the handles. It’s an easy fold and great for walking and pushing, but in my opinion, too dangerous.
Maclarens are very convenient, however, I had a quest which becomes harder to push with a toddler (it’s a lightweight umbrella stroller). I also had the most expensive maclaren, that went up to 65 lbs (I think) and had handles that extended. It is not 3 wheels, though (I think they have a three wheel model). The handlebars became sticky and kind of melted over time. I didn’t want to touch the handlebars after a while. Maybe now the newer versions are better. The lock broke off, making a folding stroller very long and cumbersome to carry.
Personally, I’d go for the bugaboo bee. It is small, less money than the bigger models, comes with a cacoon for the baby. When I went shopping, that was the stroller the sales people said they would personally choose. You might be able to find one online second hand. You can try a frum magazine classifieds. Don’t be so afraid of craigslist. We bought an amazing set of dining room chairs from west elm (second hand) for half price in NEW condition from a couple in a very good neighborhood. You can get pretty good deals there, if you keep looking.
