I got a Maxi-Cosi Mila. I love it! I love that it folds into more of a "rectangle shape" rather than the usual stick shape, the squat rectangle fits much better in my trunk. Very nice basket and sunshade for an umbrella stroller. I paid $140 I think on a diapers.com sale.
We have the Summer Infant 3D Lite at my in-laws house (so we don't need to bring a stroller when we go visit). The sunshade is nice and big, the basket is pretty big, and it reclines almost all the way flat (though you can't easily reach the basket with the seat reclined). Shoulder strap. I think we paid like $70 for it at Target. I'm not sure if I'd like it as an "every day" stroller because it's a little bare bones, but if you're looking for something to travel with, it's a good choice.
I also have the Summer Infant 3D Lite. I think retail is $79 but you can use coupouns, etc.
I like the recline on it, nice and lightweight, has a shoulder strap. Basket is decent, also comes with a cupholder and a little bag on the back for holding keys, etc. (I'm looking at you City Mini)
I've had a Liteway and an Ignite. The Liteway was nicer (bigger sunshade, better basket, better recline), but I got the Ignite for $35 and it's pretty great for the price.
I hated my First Years Jet so much because the handlebars are low and it didn't recline all the way. I got the Chicco Echo at Target and I like it a lot - paid $80 and it reclines, comes in a cute color, has cup holder, etc. After being on vacation though I have serious umbrella stroller envy and if I could do it over again I would look for a MacLaren Techno or Uppababy G-Luxe on the secondhand market instead.
I love our Britax B-Nimble. It has infant car seat adapters, click and go travel system. I use it as our main stroller now. Weekend before last, I took both kids on my own to a street festival. It was on the bayou and we had to go down a flight of stairs to enter. I had the baby in the ergo, b-nimble folded up and slung over my shoulder and the diaper bag over the other shoulder. H walked down on his own.
I did a lot of comparison shopping. I am so happy I went with the B-Nimble. Comparable strollers cost more and you have to buy the accessories separately. I love the travel system option too. It was great for the newborn days.
Unfortunately, they retired the B-Nimble this year, but you can still find it in stores.The online store I bought ours at no longer carries them.

I love my uppababy G luxe- the recline on an umbrella was a must for me. They changed something on it for 2015 and skyrocketed the price to $250, but alot of places are having sales on the $2014 models and you may be able to get a good deal on it $150 or so
I have the Summer Infant 3D Lite and love it as our "in the car" stroller. It's got a really good recline, which has been super handy for naps on the go. It's also very light and easy to fold and unfold. We mostly keep it in the car, but we have traveled with it and it worked well on a 3 week trip where we used for A LOT of walking around. I think I paid about $60 for it from Kohls with coupons.
