Quicksmart Stroller

We've also looked at the QuickSmart stroller - this folds up really small.

>> update: K-Mart had a sale (20% baby stuff) so the quicksmart turned out to be A$68.
however, would you believe it but the sales rep said not to buy it as it has a poor safety reputation (problem with tipping with the child in it). She recommended a cheapie umbrella stroller (A$30) instead. So we bought it instead :-)
