Lightweight Pushchair Recommendations

Hi, I am looking at buying a second pram for summer time and going on holidays. It's for my DS who is 4 months old at the moment.
The main things I would like is lightweight, sturdy, be able to attach bug net, easy to manouver & fold up. A carry handle would be great too. I've looked at everything from the cheap end (pipis & chicos) to higher end, (micralites & buggaboos) and am unsure of which way to go. I am not sure whether to buy a cheapie just as a second pram and use my Mclaren as my main one (but it is heavy) or whether to buy an expensive one which is lightweight which will do both summer & winter and do away with the Mclaren altogether.
Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

We have just bought a Quinny Buzz for the same reason four our dd (5 months.) Its light and folds down small into a carry case but my only gripe with Quinny is why accessories such as a shopping basket which should come with the pushchair have to be bought seperately?

Sorry Quinny Zapp not buzz! Not having a good day today!

We had the Mamu One from Argos for a year, it was brilliant but the wheels have gone on it now (the rubber just wore away to nothing).

Now we have a Chicco one, also from Argos. Twice the price (£60) but hey ho, really good. Came with everything we needed and just glides along.

I just got a bugaboo bee ( not the plus unfortunately, but did get the older style for a bargain price!) and I love it - v lightweight, easy to fold and will lie flat for sleep. So far, it's my favourite pushchair - and I've got many! Better than a chicco or a maclaren for a little one IMO

thanks for all your resposes. I've looked at some more and have now thought I would like to look at getting one of the pushchairs that sit high up. Has anyone got opinions on those and any particular brand they think is good?
