Submitted By: NYC Mom from New York, NY   Date: 04/09/2008 My third child just turned 6 months old and we were in need of a lightweight umbrella stroller for NYC. I had Macs with my first two and did not love them. They drove well for a brief time only and the wheels on both broke quickly. Also, I wanted a padded seat. I was so happy to find this stroller! The seat is very padded and soft for a younger baby, and the padding is easily removable if you prefer. The handles are tall and comfortable. The wheels and steering are very good. I do have a couple of complaints. You have to buy the raincover separately (which brings the price up to the same as the Volo). The raincover works well and is neatly designed, but it is a pain to have to tie it in all 4 corners each time. Luckily you can also just buy a Protect a Bub cover which is easy and works really well. The other negative is that it can take an extra push to get the G-Lite to lock open after unfolding. Overall I'm very pleased with this stroller and am so happy that the Volo has a competitor because hopefully it will drive both to make their strollers even better.
