The lighter strollers, often called umbrella strollers, are great because 
they can be easily carried when folded up.  However, I don't know that 
they'll last through several children, so your friend might end up buying 
more than one.  Some people claim they've had trouble with the umbrella 
strollers tipping, but I never have, as long as I didn't hang anything heavy 
like the diaper bag on the handles.

unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into 
advance."--Franklin D. Roosevelt
