G-luxe or G-lite?

[love-pink]

Which one would you choose for a just turned 2 year old and why? It will be a back up stroller for our BJCM. :wink2:

Would your 2 year old nap in it? If so, then the G-Luxe because it reclines. If not, then the G-Lite would work.

I had the BJCM for a LONG time, and then purchased a G-Luxe for my *quick* trips. I have a 20 month old. I ended up selling the BJCM because I fell in love with the G-Luxe and used it exclusively. Now I just have my G-Luxe and a BOB and am very happy with that combo. My DD2 is an exclent napper, and she can fall asleep in the car seat, I can move her to the G-Luxe in it's reclined position, go shopping for an hour, and put her back in her car seat and she will still be asleep! I don't miss the BJCM, and I loved that stroller!

I would get a g-luxe if she naps and the mac starck if she doesn't.

[love-pink]

Im not a fan of the Stark. She will nap occasionally. Is the only real difference the recline?

[legaleagle]

No, g-luxe also has bigger wheels and adjustable footrest. I think the seat may be more padded as well. Personally, if you don't mind the extra couple lbs and the expense, I would go g-luxe every time. And not just because I lust after the sebby, LOL. Though the makena is pretty darn nice for a girl!

[love-pink]

Those are the 2 colors Im drooling over :bighand: The only reason Im even considering the Lite is because of the Makena color :yay:

Does the Lite push as well as the Luxe?? With smaller wheels that would be my concern. Do the Uppa's push as nicely as the Maclaren's?

They both come with the cup holder correct?

I have a G-Lite and love it, but wish I had a G-Luxe instead. It just looks so much nicer. My G-Lite hood is really small and gets SO dirty, to the point where sometimes I take it off to go shopping!

[love-pink]

I believe the 2011 models both have the same hood. Please someone correct me if Im wrong ;)

[legaleagle]

Yeah, they have the same hood. They aren't as prone to get as dirty as mac hoods because the wheels swivel out instead of in when folded, but any umbrella is somewhat prone to dirty canopies, I think. If it drives you crazy you can wrap the front wheels in a plastic bag when you fold it.

I think the g-luxe pushes great - I pushed it easily one handed with my 32 lb toddler in it around the baby store. Note that it is crazy tippy though since it's so light. I haven't tried the g-lite though so not sure how the push compares.

I think the G-luxe pushes as well, if not slightly better than the Triumph I had. My DS is only about 27 lbs. though. I don't find it tippy either, I can hang my diaper bag on it, but I do have a saddlebag on one side, so that probably helps by weighing it down. I have the sebby & love the color and the plush, removable seat pad. DS rarely naps in the stroller, but I think the recline is really deep for an umbrella and nice to have. So I would go with the G-luxe over the Lite.

I had a 2010 Triumph and sold it when the 2011 G-Luxes came out (literally had it for about 2 months). I got the red Denny color. I wanted the Sebby color, but they didn't have it. I think it pushes a lot better than the Triumph. I tried my 5 year old in both, and there was a notable different between the 2 strollers when she was sitting in them. Could barely push her on carpet (in the store) in the Triumph, and pushed like a dream on carpet in the G-Luxe. That was enough to sell me on the stroller.

I also put hooks on my G-Luxe and use them when the seat is reclined. Otherwise I put diaper bag in the basket.

Any way I could get you to post an irl color of the Sebby? Is it teal or blue?

[Kaylee31]

The Sebby is more of a teal than a true blue. Here is some pics (sorry they're from my phone & not great).
