UPPAbaby G-Lite Stroller, Denny/Red

I have bought just about every stroller there is on the market (they are collecting dust in the basement) and finally found the stroller that best fits our needs. This lightweight umbrella stroller is perfect for quick trips to the store or for longer day trips out. It folds easily, is comfortable, has a removable and washable seat, has a giant SPF extendable canopy and a cup holder for mom or dad. Best of all, it can stand on its own when folded---something a Maclaren can't do. The stand alone feature is a life saver for me and I don't have to set the stroller on the ground in wet weather as I try to fit it in the trunk. I bought the lite over the Uppa G Luxe because it is more of a bare bones version (not as bulky and I didn't need it to recline) and weighs less yet it is still a comfortable ride. Also, if you are taller I have found that my feet don't kick the back of wheels like they do on another stroller we own. I really can't say enough good things about this stroller--buy it,...

We purchased this stroller to replace our MacLaren Triumph, which was past it's usable life cycle. For an older kid (2-4) we didn't need the recline feature and we wanted something simple and lightweight for taking on the subway.

- The color.
- Removable seat fabric for easy washing. No worries about that spilled ice cream.

What we don't like:
- The fold! The second time we tried to fold it up, the seat side fabric got caught in the folding mechanism and ripped. Still usable, but not so attractive. A few weeks later the other side ripped too. Also not a big deal except for aethestics. BUT you also have to fold in the fabric every time you fold the stroller. An extra step I don't really want to take with an active toddler!
- Brakes. Unlike the... Read more

Accidently ran over our first one in the garage and then dragged it a little. It was closed at the time and just the release and brake levers actually got scraped up and the stroller still worked! But we bought a new one anyway and keep the other just for flat terrain or museum trips. We live among steep hills and didn't want to take chances on the brake levers being loose or failing from the damage. New one is even better than the first. I really like the new features; super comfy washable pad, better UV protection, same great shade coverage - better than any other light weight stroller.
