What are the differences between this one and lite?

This is a good question, and one I've had a hard time finding an answer to. I just bought this Mini, as an upgrade from the cheap Cosco umbrella stroller from Target and Wal-Mart. I haven't used the Lite, but looking at the listing for it, it seems the main differences are: 1) Folding mechanism. The way the Mini folds is similar to the basic Cosco, with a metal bar that hinges in the middle. The Lite appears to have a fancier mechanism, with a footstep and handle that you pull. 2) Recline mechanism. The way the Mini reclines is by pulling a strap which tightens itself behind the fabric at the top area of the seat. Very simple. The Lite appears to have 2 red buttons on each side that you push to raise or lower the seatback into 3 set positions. Seems a bit more complicated, but also might operate a bit nicer? Certainly would contribute to the price difference at least. 3) Built in carry strap. Mini doesn't have one. The Lite does. 4) Cup holders. The mini has 2 in a piece of fabric that stretches between the handles. The Lite only has 1. 5) Basket. Mini's basket seems a bit smaller and holds less than the Lite. 6) Folded size. When folded, the Mini's wheels by the handle stick out a bit, takes up a bit more room. The Lite looks like it gets more compact. 7) Weight. The Mini is about 2 lbs lighter than the Lite. Features that look the same, or nearly the same: Similar child size capacity, 5 point child harness, cushioned seat, 5" wheels, swivel front wheels that can lock into position, and have some shock absorption, a basket, shade and sun visor, good handle height and space to not keep stepping on wheels as you push. Conclusion: I'm happy with my purchase. I got the Mini on sale for $33. Compared to the $90 price for the Lite, I'm more than OK not having the few other features, they're not worth paying 3x as much. I just want a lightweight stroller that's easy to push, holds a few extra things plus my kid, and folds up small. The Mini fits my needs
