G-LITE Stroller - Jake (Black/Carbon)

I have loved this stroller. This is the first time we've gone with a higher end travel stroller, and I am so glad we did. We were taking a long international trip with a 1 year old, and I knew we needed a lightweight but sturdy and comfortable travel stroller, and this has exceeded my expectations. The only hiccup is that it's not quite as easy to collapse as I might expect, but it's really not that challenging. But I've taken this stroller through cities, on broken sidewalks, even on visits to ancient sites, and it has been great. Our son also really loved it and often fell asleep on our walks. So thankful we got it!

I tried so many umbrella/ compact strollers and was about to give up and use a SummerMini (which is nice but not strong enough - I used one before for an international trip and broke on the way back). Anyways I decided to try this one since I have the G-Luxe and the Vista and I absolutely LOVE IT! It’s light, folds very easily, great quality and beautiful! Also perfect for warmer places! I have another big trip coming up soon and if I don’t have a good experience I will come back to update! I love Uppababy products and I will always recommend it!!

Finally! An umbrella stroller that isn’t flimsy AND folds/unfolds in literally seconds with just two steps! It has a shoulder strap, too! As you can see from my pics, it fits neatly between my knees on an MTA (NYC) bus! It feels amazing to hop on and off buses and trains without taking up too much space and annoying everyone. You can also hang a small bag from the handles- but if it’s too heavy, it will tip. I think it maneuvers very well for the price, too! My four year old is tall and this fits him well- We got it for easier mass transit adventures so he could rest his legs on longer walks. It’s great for this purpose. I do think the seat is kind of low/flimsy for babies or smaller kids that need to nap in it, but at this stage of my son’s life, I prefer it to our Cruz. The only real downside to this one is the small cargo basket- I do wish it was bigger/held more/easier to access stuff from, but I understand the portability is the tradeoff. We’ll keep our Cruz for buying groceries for now, but I think I’ll choose this one for 90%+ of my non-grocery outings.

I love how lightweight this stroller is and it is perfect for pushing around the mall or bringing along on a trip. You can definitely feel bumps in this stroller so if you are used to a larger stroller (our normal stroller a Nuna Tavo Next) there is a difference in maneuverability. I pulled my back a few times lifting our larger Nuna stroller so I was really looking for something high quality and lightweight that I could throw in the car and this worked out great. It took me awhile to figure out how to fold the stroller (have to lock the stroller first and pull up on both hooks - more on the right side hook) but once I got it, I haven’t had an issue. Also my typical baby backpack was a tight fit in the back of the stroller so I would suggest trying it out ahead of time.

Es un cochecito bastante ligero y fácil de doblar. Tiene un espacio para llevar cosas pequeñas abajo. No se reclina mucho, para mi bebe de 9 meses, los cinturones son muy grandes por lo cual es fácil pare el voltearse ( aunq no se sale) pero sería bueno que se pudieran ajustar más. además hay una malla en el Espaldar, lo cual es bueno para verano pero para invierno no lo veo muy conveniente porque entraría todo el frío por la espalda.

My 18 month old absolutely loves this stroller. Within a few minutes of having her in it she falls asleep.... it never fails. She tends to sweat when she sleeps so having the mesh backing helps to keep her cool as the breeze flows through. The shade covers enough to keep the sun out of her for the majority of the time and i like how it has extra shade that you can pull out if needed. I love how you can easily recline it just by unzipping the backing. It reclines just enough to allow her to sleep comfortably. I find that it is very easy for us as parents to use because it is easy to fold, easy to carry when folded with the strap, and doesn’t take up too much space to store. We have been using it for quick trips to the park with this pandemic going on we just needed something quick and easy without getting too fancy as she won’t be in it for long periods of time. I really like the quality of it, and can tell it will last for years to come. I am very happy with this purchase!

Haven't used it for my grand baby yet, but it was incredibly easy to assemble - just put two of the wheels on and added the cup holder. I love that the handles are high for taller folks. Can't wait to put the baby in it and go for walks in the neighborhood.

I really wanted to love this stroller! It's lovely and lightweight and rolls like a dream. The handles are nice and tall, the mesh is no doubt cool in the heat, and the basket is generous and easy to access... unfortunately, the way the seat is designed, there is no support to help a baby sit up. Instead of having a firm backing, it's like a hammock, which means that even when my 13-month-old tried to sit up straight, she ended up slumped over. Imagine trying to sit with a straight back in a fabric hammock. I'm sad because I loved it right up to the moment we put the baby in it and then I could see immediately that it wasn't comfortable and she couldn't change the way her body was positioned. She's a strong sitter normally so it doesn't have anything to do with the child's ability to sit. Maybe it's better for an older child? I won't know because I'm returning it.
