Stroller for a short person with De Quervain’s / arthritis

[rascus]

I’m a FTM of a 6.5 month old and am in desperate need of advice and recommendations for strollers. I’m overwhelmed with the many options and I can’t even decide between a full-size stroller and lightweight stroller, let alone the brand. Currently I’m using the KeyFit caddy with my Chicco car seat.

Here are my criteria:

• I’m 5’ 1” so something comfortable for a short person to push.
• I have De Quervain’s and my mother has arthritis in her hands so something not painful to collapse or strap LO in.
• I live a suburban lifestyle. We primarily use the stroller to walk her in the park/zoo. Occasionally around the neighborhood but primarily we are loading/unloading from a car, so something easy for a short person to maneuver.
• I’d like for her to be comfortable and able to look out—she’s a curious one.

I’m leaning towards getting a lightweight stroller but are they comfortable to use on long walks? Would a full size stroller be better? Would it be worth it to get two?

Budget $200-$400.

Thanks!!

@rascus I have the 3D Mini. It's like a sturdier umbrella stroller. Not too heavy, decently compact, and works for shorter gals (I'm 5'3"). To collapse it, there's a little push notch for your feet. You may need help getting the wheels on, though! Also, I'd recommend a baby bumper, to cushion your LO's head while they're still small!
