I love a stroller that does what it’s supposed to without giving me an issue. I tested the Uppababy G Luxe Stroller and am happy to say that it did its job quite well.
I loved how easy this stroller was to maneuver around tight spaces and different terrain. I could take it just about anywhere and no matter where it was, the stroller was smooth. I want to thank the 4-wheel suspension for that. Since it’s so lightweight, around 16-pounds, it was simple for me to fold and put away.
I appreciated the parent cup holder, especially while I was shopping. I kept my coffee in it and it stayed in place. I spilled a little of it and all I had to do was remove the cupholder to wash it out. My child spilled some of their drink on the fabric, but since it’s stain and liquid-resistant, I was able to spot clean it without an issue.
My only complaint is that there are no car seats compatible with this stroller. If my child is sleeping, I would either have to wake them up to put them in the stroller or carry them around the car seat. I wasn’t a fan of that.
Overall, I do recommend this stroller if you’re looking for something simple and stylish. It’s a little overpriced for my liking, but the features make up for some of it.
In this detailed review, we will look at the top features, specs, what parents liked, and didn’t Like about it.

A Smooth Ride in The State of the Art Stroller
The chic look, for one. Next, we are all about the 4-wheel suspension, for a shock-free, smooth ride. Large strollers can prove bulky and get in the way. A lightweight, compact stroller like the G Luxe is a real lifesaver when it comes to navigation and convenience.
The UPF 50+ extendable sunshade is another plus; or, for drizzly days, the rain shield accessory is available. Basically, the G Luxe is flexible and packed with features. Using this state-of-the-art stroller is a breeze.
