Agreed - do not buy overthere. Your JBR put me off. I also found that you could buy one at home for the same price as buying there.
It depends on how long you are going for and whether you plan to go back regulary in the next few years. The cost for us to hire I felt was too much compared with the cost of just buying one. Great idea to buy secondhand and donate when you leave.
I went with a stroller for my son to travel with and it's been great - even in bali with the paths. However this year we are taking a 3 wheeler but only because he is outgrowing his stroller weight wise, too tall for it to recline to sleep and I want to see how a jogger handles in Bali so I can really compare.
