I wanna lightweight, but comfortable buggy for my 4 month old

I would like to get a lightweight buggy to use for my little boy that I can keep in the car. I've been looking at Maclaren's, but as he's only 4 months he looks teeny in one, and doesn't look very secure/comfy.
I currently have a huge Graco travel system - also known as 'the Tank'. It's really bug and heavy, but he looks so cosy in there.

So, can anyone reccomend a pushchair/stroller that is light, comfy for a little 'un, has a decent sized shopping basket, a decent sized hood, and doesn't cost the earth??

Thanks

    Hiya, have you seen the mamas and papas luna? they look quite comfy, i had the mothercare urban detour and loved it!! it is big (well long ish) but its a dream to push and such a comfy ride for your child. I now have the mamas and papas pulse (my sons over 2) and i hate it! think i've been spoilt by air filled tyres lol. I think your best bet is look through eBay, see what catches your eye then look for a review of it on the net. Good luck, hope you find one!x

    Have a look at the chicco multiway we bought it and used codes and bonus points and quidco brought overall cost down to about £80 for our 3 year old for his holiday so it will last size wise and it comes with cozy toes, rain cover and a head hugger which our little man loves and our lives in the boot, also the frount wheels pop off to take up less space.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
