I got this stroller in summer 2009. I loved the stroller and had no complaints - the ease of folding and opening was particularly great. I did run into a BIG problem this past winter, though, when my daughter was around 16 months. When weather started getting cooler and she started getting more bundled up, I could no longer get the shoulder harness straps around her and snapped. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, and I loosened them as far as they would go with no luck. At her age and with all the steep hills and curbs in my town it was not safe to use only the hip harness with no shoulder straps. Finally I called the company directly. Their customer service people were as nice as could be, and they admitted to me that with the cooler weather they were starting to get these calls. I was definitely not the only one.

I was looking for a versatile stroller that would be good for traveling as well as for every day use for errands. We decided on the G-Luxe and are really glad we did. The stroller is really light, reclines to a nice sleeping position (you can even do it while your little one is sleeping) and the sunshade on the 2010 model pops out much further than other umbrella strollers. We used it on a week long trip to Hawaii and thought it was great. It was easy to push up and down hills, easy to store and the stand up feature was useful in the airport, etc. My husband likes it so much he keeps sneaking it out of my trunk to use at home rather than our Bugaboo... The stroller has a good recline, so I think you could use it from 3-4 months up, but it isn't for newborn use as there's no attachment.

I have no reservations recommending this, but try to get the 2010 model rather than the 2009 if you live in a sunny climate as the shade was improved.

I have had this stroller (in black) for a few months now and have already traveled with it. My child is 8 months now, and we use this all the time over our heavy travel system. Overall, I think its a great lightweight stroller for the price. Here are the pro's and con's that I have found so far:

PROs

-very lightweight - my older child carried it like a breeze in airport
-has carrying strap, can be easily hauled through the airport
-closes easily - locks automatically catches when folded

-cap on handle keeps popping off, some parts seem flimsy - although this is not a vital part, its still annoying
-wheels don't handle rough surfaces like... Read more
