Kelty Kids has a backpack convertable stroller that is nice to use if you encounter stairs. My combi drags behind from my right hand, with my child flexed tightly in my left arm whenever there is no elevator around. The Kelty is 8lbs and around $125 -200 depending on the model you get from Sportsman Warehouse. There are businesses that will match prices in the area, such as Alpine Experience. I'm ready to advance to this type of system since I'm more active now six months post childbirth and this will allow me to go hiking. My Combi stroller/car seat was about $300, but came with a well-constructed car seat that easily came in and out of the base, which remained stationary in the car. This could easily be removed from the car and placed in my stroller in minutes.

If you can use it as a car seat and a stroller you are saving time and money.
Consider some other models that you can find in this article about the best baby strollers.

If you live in an area where you regularly encounter stair while you have your stroller then that sounds like a good option. Personally, where I live that would never be a consideration when buying a stroller so I was more interested in strollers that I could go long distances in that would fit in the trunk of my car (here's the one we have: http://www.amazon.com/InStep-Safari-TT-Single-Stroller/dp/B000EI2O3Y/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-7699469-5721636?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1181966127&sr=8-1 ). Since your baby is older you could also use an umbrella stroller at those times when you may encounter stairs if those times are few and far between and your other stroller for the rest of the time. And as the baby grows out of the infant carrier being able to put the carseat on a stroller is no longer a concern.
