Once 6+ months, we used the Summer Infant 3D Lite umbrella stroller. They are less than $100 dollars and mine held up through two kids and lots of use. Very lightweight and easy to take anywhere. Enough storage space for diaper bag and essentials.
We got rid of our baby stroller as soon as we could and went with a Summer 3D lite umbrella stroller from then on out. So I would keep that in mind for how many times you might actually use this thing
We got this from Amazon about two years ago and it’s the perfect stroller to throw in the trunk and take with us. It’s held up really well:
Ingenuity 3Dlite Convenience Stroller, Black – Lightweight Stroller with Aluminum Frame, Large Seat Area, 4 Position Recline, Extra Large Storage Basket – Infant Stroller for Travel and More
We own two strollers - Uppababy Cruz v2 and Babyzen Yoyo (for travel and smaller trips).
Since we’ve had kids, I’ve tried a few umbrella strollers including a really cheap Walmart one (bily?) and the Summer Infant 3D Lite. Hates both of them and sold them on the marketplace as soon as we go the Yoyo.
I got the Summer 3Dlite because it was budget friendly and had the highest weight limit of all the umbrella strollers I looked at. It also reclines, unlike most budget umbrella strollers.
Ha! So many.
1. Bumbleride Indie - great all-purpose stroller for walks, jogs, snowy terrain, etc.
2. Mountain Buggy Nano - work horse travel stroller that can technically fit in most overhead bins (though we usually gate check it). Was nice to have when the kids were very small because it can lay flat. Terrible for snow and sand, but survived uneven paving, cobblestones, some mud, etc. I currently use this as a casual every day stroller and leave it in the back of my car.
3. Thule double chariot - for walks and jogs with both kids, especially useful in the winter because the large wheels are good in snow.
4. Summer Infant 3D Lite - bought this on a vacation that we were confident we could do without a stroller.
5. Cheap Red Kite umbrella stroller - another situation where I thought we could get by with a stroller for the big kid and a carrier for the baby, but gave up and bought the cheapest stroller we could find locally.
If I could do it again, I'd get one nice jogging stroller (worth it for the maneuverability in rough terrain even if you don't plan on jogging) and then a cheaper, probably second hand umbrella stroller for casual use and short outings.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
