Stroller Recommendations for Grandma/Babysitter

When I go back to work, my mom will be watching DS 3 days a week. I want to get her a stroller to keep in her car for when they are doing errands and for when they want to go for walks.

I am looking for recommendations for a stroller that is not too heavy and not too expensive - I definitely want to spend under $200.

TIA!!!!!

We got my MIL a Graco Metrolite for her house and she does very well with it-- she's a very active woman though, so the bulkiness/weight of the strollerwasn't really an issue when chosing a stroller.

We have a Maclaren Triumph for when we travel that works great - light weight, folds up small, etc. Its perfect for grandparents. Downside is that you'd have to wait until around 6 months for the baby to sit in it. For the first six months I'd use a frame that you can clip your carseat into - like the Maclaren Easy Traveller or Graco Snap & Go.

Maclaren Quest or City Mini. Both are about $20 over your budget though but I'm sure you can find them on Ebay right around your budget. I know the Quest you can for sure find for under $200 on Ebay.

If you are not a fan of the City Mini or Quest my next choice would be a Metrolite.
