Icon4 Umbrella Strollers: Need your input!!

We have an umbrella stroller that we got with DS 4 years ago. It's a Euro Trend/Baby Trend and has served us well over the years.It has a canopy and basket underneath and it reclines. It was about $80.00, so it wasn't your basic cheapy umbrella stroller. Sadly.....it's taken quite a beating over the years. Between moves and numerous plane rides (airline luggage handlers are soooo gentle with strollers... LOL Ya right!!!) It's really time for a new one. They don't make the one we have anymore, so I'm starting fresh.

I need some recommendations. My "musts" are.... a canopy, a basket underneath, and it must recline. I also really like the ones with individual handles so I can hang stuff on the handles.

So..... anyone have any ideas?? I have been looking online and like the Maclarens...but I'm not sure I want to spend $180-$200. I'll wanna stick to about $60-$110. TIA!!

ETA~ Since I'll be using this stroller for Ash right now and then the new baby (once she's out of the double stroller...) I really want something girly, and pink.

lurking from sept..... we got our Maclaren at tj maxx for $88...and love it! keep an eye out on those types of places cause you never know! since Maclaren is one of those that does different styles every year there are always left overs from last year. also, check on ebay.....we had a used peg for a while and the maclaren out did the peg by leaps and bounds.

Sorry.. I own 2 umbrella strollers but both are cheap.. they are just my emergency strollers that never leave my van. The last time I used it was going to down to PHX for the airport.

Albee had some nice ones though..

I had a Chicco with DD #2 and it got so much use. We actually just sold it due to moving.

Here is a cute Chicco one that I found at BRU. Its not pink, but I have seen it in person, and it SO cute.
Chicco Capri-Seventies


Here is a link to the other Chicco's at BRU.

Thanks girls! Those are all kinda the ones I was looking at. I was gonna try and buy a new one this week,while I'm in Michigan...but I don't think I'll have time. Maybe I'll have DH swing by a BRU and Target when he picks me up from the airport.
