what parents are saying
Easy to steer, even one-handed, and even easier to fold. Love how lightweight it is. Perfect for quick trips where I don't want to put baby in the carrier. (Sep 24, 2014)

Another UB regret. Umbrella strollers are just "old technology" and still a bulky fold. Not practical for air travel if you like to carry on your stroller for quick layovers. Sep 21, 2023

A lightweight alternative. The wheels aren't as good as G-Luxe...I would just pay more for the luxe! Mar 21, 2023

Compact, light, easy to use. Love this for quick outings and travel. Unzips for a slight recline. Feb 12, 2023

Bought this as a travel stroller, but have barely used it. Seat is really slouchy, no recline for naps, and no footrest. Easier to take my Vista everywhere. Feb 08, 2023

Best umbrella stroller. Used this for years. Super light weight and great handle height for umbrella stroller makes it great for city living. Seat back is not adjustable. Feb 05, 2023

This is the worst stroller we have gotten so far! I tested it out on my 2.5 yr old. The seat depth is too big & back offers MINIMAL support- too much slouching. As a pediatric OT skip this! Oct 23, 2022

The stroller itself is well made, light, and easy to transport. However, my one year old slumps over and looks very uncomfortable. Partly because the buckler between the legs cannot be adjusted. Sep 12, 2022

It works but it definitely wasn't my favorite travel stroller. I didn't like the way it folded and I was looking for one to lie flatter with a larger basket for traveling Mar 15, 2022

Great stroller for hotter months and areas with the mesh back. I wish it folded smaller. Otherwise great umbrella stroller. Feb 28, 2022

Of all the strollers this is the one I am most neutral about. it doesn't really have too many perks that are different from the other strollers considering the price tag Sep 15, 2021

I have this stroller when i got it the front wheel had trouble to turn. I didnt have my receipt and couldnt return it. I use it in the house to push him love the stroller and sun shade Oct 12, 2020

This stroller seems to be for a larger child. My 18 month old continually slumped in it. The mesh back is great for summer and the zipper recline is easy. It pushes well for an umbrella stroller! Apr 27, 2020

I wish I loved this. It’s light weight and glides well. However, my daughter slouches so bad in this I worry about her posture and have stopped using it. Aug 06, 2019

I LOVE this stroller. Very light weight and easy to collapse. Also great ventilation during the hot summer months in South Caroline! Jan 04, 2019

This was perfect for once she got a little older and wanted to walk more. So lightweight and easy to bring along. Shoulder strap carrying works pretty well, but I'm short so hits at a weird place. Nov 08, 2018

Smooth ride if you're babe doesn't need recline feature. Sometimes difficult to collapse and stand on its own. Preferred trifold stroller that saved more space. Jul 25, 2018

very lightweight, stylish. I can carry it on your shoulder and still able to hold my 2 babies. Great design. Jul 23, 2018

This is our transit stroller. It's as light as you can get while still being robust enough to handle a long walk to the train without parents hunching over. Small basket underneath, but still love it. May 21, 2018

I like this stroller, however it’s not my favorite. It does the job, but my favorite is the baby jogger .. it is easier to use on all roads Mar 24, 2018

I have this stroller and love it. I didn't want to spend the extra $$ for the reclining version but have found this to be a great stroller for my almost 4 year old and especially for traveling. Oct 05, 2017

Best stroller for travel -- super light weight and stands up when it's folded. This got us through a two week international trip! Sep 21, 2017

My cousin has this. She wishes we went with the g luxe instead because it doesn't recline at all. May 27, 2017

From the get go this stroller was very tricky to open & close (impossible when holding baby). After very few uses, the latch broke completely & it is in the permanently open position. Apr 08, 2017
Hi Amanda! Sorry to hear you've had trouble with your G-LITE. Have you connected with our Customer Service team? If not, please email them at [email protected]. They'll do their best to assist. Thank you! Apr 10, 2017

It is light weight, but a bit of a hassle with the front wheels they're not so easy to manage. But the harness is good and comfortable it does its job. Dec 29, 2016

Great stroller and very light weight to un pack and load back up the Bag underneath is a good size also. Aug 30, 2016

Go with the G-Luxe or Maclaren. This is super lightweight, but also flimsy. My infant could easily pull on the canopy weakening it, the ride wasn't smooth, feels wobbly, & hasn't held up well. Jul 13, 2015
Hi Brandi! Sorry you feel it's not the right stroller for you. If you'd like a replacement part or if you suspect the wheel issue is due to a defect then please don't hesitate to call our CS team direct to troubleshoot. Thanks! Jul 13, 2015

Super light and easy to open/shut. So light that i've thrown it over my shoulder like a backpack while running up stairs with my kid in tow. Jun 24, 2015

Ultralight, smooth ride. We use this way more than the City Mini. I just wish we'd gotten the G-luxe and not bothered with the City Mini..... Nov 14, 2014

We have the G-Lite and never opened it. We were told it reclined, it didn't. We were told we could use it from birth+, we can't. The sunshade didn't extend very far so I returned it. Sep 30, 2014

This is a great travel stroller. Very light weight, and easy to compact. Also seems very cozy and love that it can recline for napping. It's easy to tip over too. Nov 06, 2017

I really like the stroller and its incredibly light and easy to transport but for an "umbrella" stroller option wish I would have gone with something less expensive so I wouldn't be upset if damaged. Apr 29, 2017

This is our trunk/travel stroller. Super light, super easy to push. Kids love it! And its easy to clean, has great shade and a mesh carrier on the bottom!! Oct 23, 2016
- Trudy M.
Delano, Minnesota
Great umbrella stroller! Although it is heavier than some, I think it's worth it. It is very sturdy and the handles are up higher so you don't have to half hunch over in order to push it like some. Oct 05, 2016
- Denise T.
Chicago, Illinois
Love how easy and light this stroller is. One issue is that I didn't realize before getting it that it has a mesh back, this will be handy in the summer, but for all other seasons use it with a back. Mar 03, 2016

love this stroller - baby is only 5 months but we use the infant insert and it works like a charm. much lighter then the G Luxe! Oct 08, 2014
