I went into a local stroller store with my heart set on buying the Maclaren volo and ended up walking out with this stroller instead. The reasons I was going to get the Volo were
1. Lightweight--I needed a stroller to take on the subway that I might actually be able to carry up and down the stairs if i had too. Our other stroller (City Mini) is fantastic but just too heavy for me to do that alone.
2. Mesh sides. I wanted something that would be cool for summer since often I carry him in a Mei Tai but in the summer it just gets too hot. I planned on getting a universal seat liner for the winter to insulate hiis back a bit.
3. Easily steerable with one hand.

The reasons I ended up with the G Lite are
1. I picked up both strollers and this really did feel lighter--not by much but every bit helps. Ultimately with all the accessories I
2. This has a cushy seat liner that is meshy and looks cool but is also a little padded. BUT you can remove... Read more

I purchased this in preparation of our up-coming airline and Disney trip and like it thus far. Three things that really make this stroller stand out are: 1) Lightweight 2) Nice/functional sun canopy 3) Useable/accessible basket (I got rid of my Maclaren over the pathetic basket). This stroller is easy to fold and re-open and the stand up feature and shoulder carry strap are a plus. The fold on this stroller doesn't achieve a complete flat fold like a Maclaren, but it is not far off. My husband is 6'5" and I am 5'5" and we both find it easy to push without kicking the back wheels too. This didn't happen for my husband with my former Maclaren Techo. This stroller doesn't recline, but I am okay with that since my kids have never slept in a stroller. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and my up-coming trip will really put it to the test. My only wishes would be 1) built to handle more weight than 40 pound child 2)Optional snap on and tilt to one side so child could exit snack... Read more

I got this stroller for a international trip back to the USA with my 2 1/2 year old. I needed a light umbrella stroller but didn't want to give up and get ones of those cheap 10 dollar ones. I LOVE this stroller. It is super light. It is really easy to fold up on my own and quickly when I am in line for security. The back basket was SO easy to get to. I have tried to get into the backs of a Mclaren stroller before it was much harder. This was a great buy and worth it for our trip. I love that the padding is removable for washing or for hot days. I have noticed that since my trip my stroller doesn't stand on its own as well either.
