I would call the G-Luxe an expensive fancy umbrella stroller, as the price is kind of scary when you think "umbrella stroller"! For us, we were looking for a tough stroller that would do anything and go anywhere. We already have a jogging stroller, that I don't want to carry to the grocery store, so we needed something lightweight and versatile. I honestly like to scoot around quickly when I go to the store and not waste my time, so I had a hard time seeing myself pushing a stroller, that wouldn't go my speed, per say! hehe My husband and I shopped around quite a bit, and I would see myself curse at those other (less expensive) strollers, already imagining how I would get frustrated if I'd have to fight with them! Flimsy and cheap feeling. Oh, I was sure that if we bought another stroller than the G-Luxe, we'd be back at the store to buy a new one in a few months, 'cause I'd total the first one! We want more than one kid, so we took it as an investment, thinking it would last for a while!
Here are the options on this stroller that called our name: lightweight, stands on it's own, nice strap to carry easily, big shade with the extra UV protection length, easy recline, easy to fold and unfold, adjustable seat (depth with the leg angle) so it grows with baby, removable seat pad to wash, and the stroller is oh so pretty looking! You even get to pick your colour!!! Looking at it in the store, I felt like I was back at work, shopping for a specialized stroller or wheelchair for a patient: it's got that many functional options about it! I feel it's easy to position the child correctly in it. It's got a 5-point harness that grows with the child as well. A beauty!
ok, it's not perfect, I sometimes fight with the buckles, which I seem to have a hard time aligning at times and I wish my little one could sit up straighter (closer to 90degrees) sometimes. But overall, we chose this stroller with a lot of expectations in mind and so far, it's met all of them! The stroller is therefore worth the price! Love it!
These can be purchased online, but we bought ours at a local retailer, Ana Banana.
Thanks for reading!
