Submitted By: Jodi from Louisville, KY Date: 02/26/2009 I could not be happier with this wonderful stroller. When picking out a new stroller for my one-year-old, here are the main things I was looking for: LIGHT weight, good canopy, rolls nicely, good recline, comfortable tall handles for me, easy to fold, big basket, and nice looking. The G-Luxe is all of these things and more.
When I heard the stroller only weighs 11 lbs (the same weight as my MacLaren Easy Traveler frame for infant carseats), I was ecstatic. I spend a significant amount of time carrying my stroller-resistant baby while pushing the stroller, so it was crucial to have something light and easy to push. The handles are so tall that I don't have to bend down to reach them while I'm holding her. HUGE plus! I LOVE that the release to fold the stroller up is at the handles, too. I can easily fold up the stroller and put it in the trunk while holding the baby, simply by leaning the wheels against the car while folding. To me, it folds so much more easily and logically than MacLarens and I love not having to use my foot to do it. Oh, and there's a great carrying strap.
The sun shade is outstanding. Completely adjustable and huge. The recline feature is well-done. The cup holder is fabulous and actually holds regular sized cups (unlike some of my friends' strollers w/tiny cupholders such as Combi). It's a smooth ride and my daughter seems happy when she's actually riding it. Plus, it holds all my stuff!
On top of all that, it is modern and pretty. I have the Jake (black with silver). I would buy this stroller again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny.
