Holiday stroller/pushchair

Morning all!
I am after a stroller/pushchair (presuming these are the same thing?!) to go on holiday abroad with. FTM and it’ll be our first trip on a plane.
I’d like something lightweight, easy to fold, reclines for sleep, little one is 22 months, not too expensive as I already have a pram that I’m happy with.
Would prefer new but would consider second hand. I’m not on FB but have had a nosey on eBay but can’t find much.
Thanks all! :)

We've got a cheap Joie one which works for us, doesn't have a very big hood though so we brought a sunshade for it.

I used this combo for my 10mo & I found it reclined just enough, was lightweight & the extra hood attachment worked great for the 38* weather but if you were going somewhere cooler you could probably do without it.
The wheels are just plastic so I can't imagine they'll last forever but for a holiday pushchair, it was ideal!

Baby Jogger City Tour

We bought it for travel but it's such a great pushchair that we use it all the time now. It's really compact and light, and easy to manoeuvre (you can do it one handed). It folds up really small for the car and is also small enough for hand luggage on some airlines (not all).

It has a UV hood and a decent recline for naps. The basket is small but there is a little mesh pocket at the back for carrying extra small bits.

We have the Joie Nitro, DD is 14 months and we used it on holiday in Spain when she was 9 months and again this weekend on a UK break. We have been using it as our main buggy for the last two months or so anyway. It is ok and cheap comparatively however it doesn't have a proper sun hood, we bought one of those big black ones you can attach but we haven't used it in the end we just use a sunhat that ties around her chin to keep it kn and Baby Banz sunglasses (the latter took her some time to get used to though) and sun cream! Cons tho: hardly any basket space (none if you lay it flat), brake catches on each step if you're pulling it backwards up steps/bumping it down steps which is a pain and makes that tricky, we've only had it since Jan and our brake broke last week, it doesn't seem to sit up straight enough so lazy DD always ends up slumped down in an uncomoetablr looking positions tho I imagine with an older toddler that would be less of an issue. Pros: Cost, lightweight, easy fold and assemble, small and fit in overhead locker on plane or train, reclines fully flat for sleep, comes with a raincover, wheels are ok on less than perfect terrain.

Thank you for the suggestions Smile I’ll have a nosey. I’ve already got a sunshade but the one with the fly net attachment looks great @tabbycat985 Wish I’d seen it before I bought mine (which was more than double the price without the fly net Angry )
