UPPAbaby - G-Luxe Stroller

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.

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.

I have the Cruz and ended up buying the UB G-Luxe used off Marketplace for $75. It doesn’t fold in the overhead but gate check is great and it’s usually there as we deplane. I don’t think I’d ever open the stroller on the plane and it’s just another thing to carry if it did fit in the overhead. When my LO was about 1.5 yrs, she actually preferred the G-Luxe over the Cruz and we started using it more regularly outside of travel. My two cents - if you’re going to buy the UB bag, just buy a travel stroller. Try finding used if you can as it will be thrown around - on the plane, back of the car, etc.

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.

We purchased and brought the G-luxe but I think the stroller stayed in the stateroom closet the whole time. I ended up baby wearing her in our Artipoppe Zeitgeist the two times we got off the ship and carried her around the ship.

We have the uppababy g luxe for our travel luxe for our travel stroller and it has all of the features you’re looking for. I’m pregnant now and purchased the uppababy g- link which is the double version of the g luxe. Our daughter is 3 and can easily get in and out of it by herself, it has a good recline, and also has a large basket.

I have UPPAbaby Vista and GLuxe. The GLuxe is great for vacations. You can buy a travel case for it that's really handy. Our daycare also asked for only umbrella strollers so they could be stored at the daycare without causing a fire hazard. The tires are pretty durable. The Vista is much much less effort to push and has way more storage that I use constantly while shopping. It folds up pretty small. It can fit 2 kids, which were now preparing for and is super handy with the Mesa car seat.

We took our 20 month old in an umbrella stroller. But if you do an umbrella, and i definitely recommend them in Italy, esp Rome, it has to be a solid one. We had an uppababy umbrella stroller (great wheels and shocks), which did AMAZING on all the Rome cobblestone. Also folds up super small in restaurants and easy on trains. Was also great to recline the baby while siteseeing or when we had late dinners and the baby was sleeping. That stroller incredibly made it through over 20 cobblestone cities throughout Italy and Spain over the course of 5 years. We couldn't believe the wheels still hadn't come off! (This is not a paid advertisement lol) PS. Carrier is fine (I brought one too) but wore it maybe once because the stroller was too easy and comfortable. I used the carriecarre time when climbing a very narrow spiral staircase in Florence but never used it again for that first trip.

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!

Love the Joolz Aer. I've put in hundreds of miles with it and it's still going strong. I keep waiting for the wheels to eventually wear down. I carry it up and down subway stairs, take it on the bus, etc. Someone had given us a much heavier duty Uppa Baby stroller that we used like three times then never again because we found the Joolz so much more manageable.

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.
