What cheap stroller for holidays? Would the Asda one be ok?

Please, please!
We have already 1 single and 1 double. So DH won't cherish the idea of getting a 3rd one, that's why it has to be cheap.
Our current single is too bulky to take on holidays, we will be getting on planes, trains, buses, boats...

I was thinking something like the stroller from Asda, very basic: 4 wheels and a seat. But has anyone tried it? I think it might carry my 15kg-DS. Or do you know of any other "supermarket" light stroller?

Thanks.

Don't go so basic that it doesn't have swivel wheels....you will regret it and put it in a skip before you come home!

splash out a little and buy a 2nd hand graco citisport well worth the money, huge basket and very light.

Thanks! I'll bear that in mind, Jas. And I'm going to browse now for this Graco, Cargirl.

I just saw the reviews of the Citisport and they are quite good. But I would like a stroller with the umbrella-fold mechanism. Any other ideas?

I bought this from Tescos two years ago when it was only £20, and it has been great on buses, the tube, trains and assorted holidays and days out. It seems quite expensive now, though. You probably could get something nicer second hand for the money.

Guess I'd say go for a maclaren or perhaps a mothercare one with swivel wheels. I think the angled handles make them easier to push.
