I love my Combi! I have a double, but I think they make a single. My S-I-L loves her McClaren. I'm not sure what either one costs. I got mine on a huge introductory sale, and my S-I-L bought hers from the factory in Europe. She saved a ton! I agree that you do get what you pay for when it comes to strollers, for the most part, but I did get a single stroller for about $30 at Target that I like. I don't remember the brand, and I don't have it here right now. It's a basic model, but worked with our Graco baby carriers just fine, and is smaller than the usual travel strollers. It's been through several kids, and I still like it, but it doesn't have the bells and whistles. If you get one without a feature you like, Babies 'R Us has a lot of those extras -- cup holders, bug, wind, and rain covers, stroller blankets for added warmth, etc. I've gotten a few things there that I've liked. I hope you find the right fit!
