This is a great stroller for everyday use if you don't do tons of non-smooth surfaces all the time and you don't need the ability to throw an infant carrier on it.
I currently have a big 4-year-old who occasionally still uses a stroller for herself when she's exhausted after going to the pool with Dad or something like that and a very tall 16-month-old. But I don't use a stroller every day, as it's too hot in the summer for a lot of outside stuff (yes, actually I DO melt) and for errands they're usually in a cart. For times when I have them both for museums or lots of walking, I have a sit-and-stand Joovy. But I wanted to get rid of my full-size Chicco (which has been great for years) and downgrade to something more portable. After tremendous research and looking at many strollers multiple times, I had narrowed it down to this and the Britax B-Agile (not remotely umbrella size unfolded, but so compact folded and moved so nicely, I had to consider it). In the end, my 4-year-old decided it for me by saying the G-Luxe had a better cushion and she could see around her much better. The little one seemed to prefer it too, though one can never be sure of interpreting crying and squealing and pointing correctly. This is how it stacked up for me:
PROS
- Very sturdy and well made; super high quality.
- Great maneuverability on multiple surfaces, for a non-full-size stroller (it will never compare to a full size or jogging stroller, it's not meant to).
- Terrific cushion with super-soft fabric that comes off with velcro and can go right in the wash. The whole cushion! How cool is that?!
- Good canopy, with SPF protection and really nice shape to be both protective and allow looking around.
- The tallest seat back and canopy height I found. My tall four year still has room in there before her head hits the canopy, whether open or closed.
- Stands up on its own when folded. It's a little awkward and not super compact (as well as not super sturdy, so don't use it for a coat rack), but it's a nice feature just the same.
- Autolock when folded. That's just so so so good to have. Even those puny cheap umbrella strollers tangle me up in them without it. Maybe it's just me.
- Reclines. I don't really use this with my kids at the age they are (not that they EVER EVER EVER wanted to miss a moment of anything by sleeping in a stroller anyway), but especially if you're considering this for younger ones or you're blessed with kids who actually do believe in napping this is a great feature.
- The shoulder strap is handy, despite the size of it compared to me when I carry it around (see below).
CONS
- The foot rest (not the leg rest) is angled a bit too much behind the leg rest, so unless my daughter uses her muscles to pull her legs in, her feet just hang. It didn't seem to bother her, but... well, it just seemed like it ought to.
- Not an easy brake (and DEFINITELY NOT flip-flop or sandal friendly), though it is a single brake for all sides.
- Tall handles (tallest out there, I think). This will be a PRO for tall folks, but I'm 5'0", and I would really prefer lower handles. Plus it makes closing it harder. I can do it, but my chiropractor might not be happy with me. They are very cushioned handles though.
- Price. It's high quality, to be sure, but I feel silly replacing a good full-size stroller for another that's basically the same price and calling it a downgrade.
- Weight/size. It's lighter than a full size of course, but it's not exactly portable for long, especially if you're short (it's only 18 inches shorter than I am). But if you want something more portable and smaller, you have to get something less comfy and easy to use otherwise.
So there ya go. It doesn't have lots of bells and whistles because it's not meant to; it comes with a single detachable cup holder and a medium size basket at the bottom that I haven't used yet. I got a nice stroller organizer to go on the handles (it can still fold with it on, as long as the organizer is empty), and I'm good to go. As long as you're not expecting something more than an upgraded umbrella stroller, you'll be happy with this.
