UPPAbaby - G-LITE Stroller

We bought an uppababy g lite (used) which is an umbrella stroller but with a basket and a shade for traveling and have taken it through the airport and gate checked. We use the Cosco scenera next for a travel seat. It’s so light weight it can be carried in one hand easily and checked or gate checked. Personally we buy a seat for our kids so we just use it onboard. 

Of those, I've only used the G-lite, but it's very good *for an umbrella stroller.* I would go with that one, mostly because it's more convenient and I would care more about avoiding the drive than saving five dollars.

I have the Uppa Baby and Nuna TRVL. Both are great for different reasons. Just remember - if a stroller is on the market, it has to do through in depth testing to get there. It wouldn’t be for sale if it wasn’t safe. Same with car seats, there really is no bad option. They all work. It’s what works best for you!

100% worth the money - you'll use it everyday - and way easier to roll & fold than other options - also very sturdy

Conversely we are still going strong with 3 kids on it used daily. 9 month old in a seat and then my 2 year old and 4 year old switch off who is in the seat and who is on the board standing.

We got a chico keyfit 30 travel system with the activ3 jogging stroller for our first kid and then got an Upupbaby when our second came. They're definitely expensive and the Upupbaby is probably overpriced but they're both amazing and well worth the investment. If you can afford the premium it's a solid buy.m, especially if you can find them used. Just make sure any car seat combos aren't expired. You'll obviously be fine with a Graco, but there's definitely a big jump in quality that's worth it for how often you'll be pushing these things around.
