UPPAbaby - G-Luxe Stroller

The uppababy g-luxe is pretty light, but I’m not sure if it’s cabin-approved. Its accessories are kinda meh, and the CS is exhausting. We switched to the mamazing ultra air later and love it. Super light, folds even smaller, fits between the car seats while the g-luxe had to go in the trunk

Uppa Baby G Luxe, or Baby Jogger City Mini 2. My daughters are 19, and 15 now but I had early versions of Uppa Baby Vista and it was a great stroller. Very much a BIFL quality item. Go to the store and try a bunch out and get the one with the easiest fold. We had a Maclaren Triumph stroller and it was great; so sad the company went out of business.

It depends on the itinerary and how your family rolls with the stroller. If you've got all three kids on the stroller using two seats plus the PiggyBack and that's what everyone's used to, it may make sense to bring it and stow it under your bed for port use every though it won't be very maneuverable in the ship's hallways. If all three kids are used to walking everywhere and there's no long walks at ports of call like, e.g., the pier at Lookout Cay, you may not need any stroller. Our main battle stroller for our lone toddler is an Uppababy Cruz, which would be too unwieldy to bring on board for transporting one kid. When we cruise, we bring an Uppababy G-Luxe. Keep in mind that being able to take the stairs rather than waiting for an elevator is a superpower on most cruises, and the G-Luxe is way easier to hand carry on stairs than the Cruz.

You know the relative walking speeds of your kids waaaaay better than I do, but, as the father of a 2.5-year-old, I would consider whether an umbrella stroller for your youngest would increase your range enough to be worthwhile. We bought our G-Luxe at a local dodgy baby emporium -- it felt like a front for a not-terribly-successful drug operation. The G-Luxe was a floor model that was missing the cup holder, but it was also cheap and, as we confirmed when the brake failed after a year, sold by an authorized Uppababy dealer and thus fully warranteed.

I think this may depend on your stroller. We have the uppababy g-luxe for travel and there is no way I'd be able to fit the cosco next in the basket - I have to squeeze our diaper bag in. It would probably work in our full-size stroller.

We started out with a Chico bravo primo which has been great, came with a car seat that clicks in and a base. Think about 600 for everything. Very solid and really nice folding feature for half the price of the uppababy we were looking at. We also looked at the little stroller car seat combo thing but I’m 6’5 and it was way too short for me to comfortably push and had no storage iirc. Lately we don’t need such a large stroller and don’t need the car seat as much since he’s just about sized out of it height wise. So I picked up a uppababy Gluxe which is a very small form stroller that takes up much less space. No car seat compatibility but I don’t need that anymore. Think it was 200 new or like 170 open box on Amazon. Love it so far. My main issue is traveling. We did about 12 flights this past year between 6 months and 18 months of life for our son. I refuse to check bags. So the combo seat stroller was great. As soon as he hits 2 this summer I will likely pick up a way B to go with our new small form stroller so we can continue not checking bags.

I have a Cruz for everyday but also a gluxe for travel. Still very comfy for naps and has nice huge cover. Was gifted a gluxe 2nd hand for traveling thinking it would die on our many treks across Asia and Mexico. Still going strong but I did buy a new one for $200 on sale. Sturdy, reliable and I really like it. Folds up like an umbrella and stands too.

We have an Uppababy Gluxe and travelled so well with it (10 cities across Asia, Europe and Mexico with infant). Went down far enough for on the go naps, big canopy, decent storage below and was sturdier than some of the really light, tiny strollers I was looking at. We hung bags off it from shopping and had no issues. Big wheels make a difference on certain terrains.

For $200 I got a new uppababy gluxe. We received an older one and liked it. Found it very sturdy cause I have a Cruz too and like the brand. We did at least 10 trips on various planes and trains with it and it was great for naps, relatively light, stands straight up and good canopy. Nice big wheels for sand and cobblestone etc.

I’d recommend Nuna. Super easy to install, buckle, and manage. I like a travel system, but for the first year only. Once you get past that, your priorities shift and it becomes more about having something that is compact and easy for on-the-go. That’s been my experience for all three of my kids. Maybe it doesn’t bother others as much? When you’re finished with the travel system, the Uppababy GLuxe is a great lightweight option.

We have the uppababy g-luxe (on our third kid) and it is a great one for travel and regular outings. We use an infancy carrier clip in frame until we move into a convertible seat (around 10ish months for our kids usually) and then into the bigger stroller. But it does have a reclined position so you could probably use it from 6+ months

I had a Graco system at first and it was awful! the taking the car seat in and out of the car was not for me. I ended up getting a Maxi Cosi car seat with a baby jogger stroller, then eventually an uppababby g-luxe for amusement parks, malls, etc.

Just had our 2nd. When my 1st was born, we got the UB Vista because we knew we wanted more kids. Our travel is the UB G-lux. Woth the Vista, I will say that the big downside is that the back wheels are so wide. That can be prohibitive, depending on where you are.
