Maclaren stroller owners...
Which lightweight stroller do you have? Pros/cons?
We have the city mini now, but like others have complained about, DD cannot sit up straight in it and I can tell it's bothering her.  We basically need something that's lightweight, folds easily, reclines (but also sits up straighter than the city mini), and has decent sun shade.

Re: Maclaren stroller owners...
I feel like am queen of strollers, lol.
I have a Mac Quest Sport.
It is okay, it is tippy though with just a diaper bag on it. Also, the sunshade stinks. I bought a kidpotomus one to go on top of the regular one.
That said, my DS who hated my friend's 2009 city mini liked sitting in it.
I have since purchased the 2011 city mini double with the boards and upright straps and both of my DS love it. Do you have the boards for yours? It might help.
eta: Also, the belly bar or the snack tray might help your DD in the city mini. Both of my boys use the belly bar to hold onto and hold themselves up.

Re: Maclaren stroller owners...
I have the Techno XT and love it!!
It's light, so easy to open and close and love the shade cover and how far it reclines back.
The only con I have is there is really no place to put anything. You can buy a universal cup holder or something like that, but as far as tossing something underneath in the basket, it's really not possible.

Re: Maclaren stroller owners...
I have the triumph. I don't love it. It's light and easy & I keep it in the car for quick trips or bring it on vacations..but other than that...it's too light and tips easily, NO way to access basket, the hood gets so dirty from the wheels touching it when you fold it up that I am constantly taking it off to clean it. DD does not seem to enjoy being in it.

Re: Maclaren stroller owners...
I was goingt to get the city mini but ended up choosing the Mclaren..I have the techno xt
I love it and use it all the time and never use my other more $$$ stroller.
Pros
-Lightweight but still sturdy
-awesome sun canopy that unzips and goes all the way down (I use this all the time and purposely purchased this model Mclaren bc of this..this is my favorite feature bc my sons can be completely protected from the sun)
reclines all the way back for naps and changing dipers
-very nice looking IMO
-sits up straight
cons-
-small basket but not a big deal
-hard to clean the seat and put back on correctly
-you have to buy the organizer seperate (around 20 bucks) I use it all the time though for sippy cups and other things
XT
