  • 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

    • Erica R.

    I love how easy it is to collapse and pick up and put in the trunk of my car. Oct 19, 2017

    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 contact@uppababy.com. 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

    • Julie B.
    • United States of America

    Just decided we needed a lightweight stroller for traveling. My son is 30 pounds and LOVES riding in this! Oct 02, 2015

  • 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

  • Easy fold and has a carry strap too. It also stands on own May 22, 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

  • It does not recline all the way like the G Luxe Nov 13, 2014

  • Great umbrella stroller; really light and easy to travel with. Oct 01, 2014

    • Aly M.
    • McCalla, Alabama

    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

    Only stroller my child will sit in Sep 30, 2014

  • Just about the easiest stroller to travel with! Can be collapsed AND thrown in the trunk one handed. Sep 30, 2014

  • Mine broke a few times but the customer service is great and they sent me a new one twice. I still use this for my 3 year old. Sep 30, 2014

  • Perfect for the city - lightweight and still stylish Sep 25, 2014

  • i'm not that impressed, but i love the color (jade) and the nice big basket underneath. as others have said its really a pain to collapse - and one of the selling points was the ease of use.... Aug 11, 2014
