Reviews say the 12-pound Inglesina Swift offers good features for the money, with a reclining seat (good from 6 months to 45 pounds), sizable storage basket and sun canopy. It costs less than the Maclaren Quest (*Est. $225) but has many of the same features. The Inglesina Swift is heavier and a little more expensive than the 8.3-pound UppaBaby G-Lite, which gets the best reviews among super-lightweight umbrella strollers suitable for 6 months and older. If you need an umbrella stroller for a younger baby, reviews recommend the Chicco Liteway (*Est. $125) for newborns or the Maclaren Triumph (*Est. $170) for 3 months and older, although these umbrella strollers are heavier.
The Inglesina Swift umbrella stroller is reviewed in depth by Baby-Gaga.com and is the subject of numerous reviews by parents posting to Windsorpeak.com, the "Baby Bargains" online discussion forum, as well as at StrollersAndPrams.com and Amazon.com. A number of these reviewers compare the Inglesina Swift to its main competition, Maclaren umbrella strollers.
