We love red for strollers. Although I loooooove the teal! I think it's great for boys or girls! @winniebee: love that teal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588344 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:12:18 +0000 winniebee 1588344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: we have the teal green. It's sharp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588339 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:11:42 +0000 winniebee 1588339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love it! My son doesn't nap much in the stroller (or at least I try to avoid it) so this was a rest choice for us. Easy to clean, lightweight, smooth ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588307 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:06:28 +0000 Sparkler 1588307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: We have the red. We gate check it a lot and don't use a travel bag, so it does have some black marks from travel. I bet if you get the black, those won't show as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588287 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:03:28 +0000 Aimed 1588287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Thank you! Off to amazon I go, now to decide between green or black. Which colors did you ladies get? Is the green dark enough for a boy - I think I prefer the green as it will attract the heat a little less than the black! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588204 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:43:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 1588204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: my kids have both fallen asleep in it without the recline :) no head flopping forward either! We didn't get it til they were older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588183 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:37:38 +0000 Aimed 1588183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! Our lo is 15 months so no need for the recline - he likes to see everything!<br /> @Sparkler:the sunshade was a HUGE selling point for me as we live in a sunny climate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1588136 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:23:37 +0000 Sparkler 1588136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our g lite. It's so light, but has such an amazingly large sunshade and a surprisingly large basket. I have never once wished I had the recline feature. I think as long as you aren't getting it for a child less than 6 months, you will love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1587980 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 07:14:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 1587980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our g lite! Our LOs don't like or need reclining either so we went g lite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-uppababy-g-lite#post-1587902 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 06:05:29 +0000 Aimed 1587902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning on getting an umbrella stroller for some European travel we have coming up, but also want to use it for just out and about here, like the mall and stuff so I want to get a pretty decent one. I have been researching like mad and think that the g- lite might be the one for us but I would love some input from anyone who already has one, it has other recommendations!<br /> Fwiw, I looked at the g-luxe as well but our LO isn't a fan of reclining in his stroller now that he is bigger so I don't want to pay extra for the recline feature we will barely use!<br /> Any advice would be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1479827 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 00:34:17 +0000 luckypenny 1479827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say car seat and snap n go also. I think at 6 months they're still so little they don't really "need" to see anything. I definitely wouldn't but a new stroller just for the trip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1479817 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 00:07:30 +0000 marionberry 1479817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised that everyone is saying to use the snap and go. That would obviously be the cheapest option since we have it already.</p> <p>My son has great head control and sits pretty well. I thought he might prefer getting to see everything in an umbrella stroller vs just staring up at us. Plus I'm worried about the sun being in his eyes using the snap n go. I took him out today in the sun and the light was in his eyes bothering him. I know in Vegas that will definitely be the case.</p> <p>Hmmm...now torn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1479607 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 20:45:51 +0000 silver1 1479607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Same.<br /> I would want to keep the carseat stroller handy esp. if he is used to napping in it. We loved our chicco and used it for almost 10 months when he finally outgrew it and was looking ridiculous a huge baby in a tiny carseat :happy: . It was so convenient while traveling and about to throw a blanket over handle and let him take naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1479543 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:57:09 +0000 wheres_c 1479543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Ditto!<br /> We traveled at that age and carseat/snap and go were perfect. We have the same bag as Ginabean and it's fine.<br /> Some hotels may even have strollers available to borrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1479453 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:04:29 +0000 Ginabean3 1479453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring the snap and go and your carseat. I would gate check both. (what airline are you using?) We bought these bags to put our carseat/snap and go in:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Gate-Check-Bag-Seats/dp/B000RRD7UG/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1394236975&#038;sr=1-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Gate-Check-Bag-Seats/dp/B000RRD7UG/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1394236975&#038;sr=1-2</a></p> <p>They make one for strollers too.</p> <p>I don't know if I would bring an umbrella stroller for a 6 mo old...does your LO have good head control? My LO loved sleeping in her carseat so having the snap n go actually worked great for us (we travelled internationally at 10 months and NEEDED to bring a car seat) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1479441 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:00:10 +0000 Raindrop 1479441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advise really... just bumping. :)</p> <p>Yeah I'm not sure I would bring a car seat for a 6 month old. We had a baby car seat / stroller combo (orbit baby) so we usually bring both because that was rating till he was a year old. I'm not sure what we would have done if we had a separate car seat and stroller because I was pretty paranoid as a new mom.</p> <p>Now that he's 2 we probably wouldn't bring the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-vegasneed-help#post-1478374 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:35:03 +0000 marionberry 1478374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I probably should've asked this awhile ago, but leave it to me to do everything at the last minute.</p> <p>We are leaving for Las Vegas on Thursday. We'll be there until Sunday. I've been there many times before, but now I'm bringing a 6 month old - and it's the first time we've ever traveled on a plane with him.</p> <p>So my questions are:</p> <p>1. What type of stroller to bring? We have a Chicco Snap &amp; Go and a Bumbleride Flyer - both of which I don't think are the right fit for our trip. I think I'd like to get an umbrella stroller. What would you recommend for a 6 month old? And do you recommend a specific travel bag?</p> <p>2. I'd ideally love to skip bringing his carseat since the only time we'll be in a car is the cab from the airport to the hotel, but I have a feeling that's probably not a good idea. If you recommend bringing it, how did you travel with it? What bag do you have? I have a Chicco Keyfit 30.</p> <p>I appreciate any advice you have!! I'm going to have a lot of shopping to do on Amazon ASAP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-vs-peg-perego-pliko-mini#post-890246 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:45:14 +0000 mrsmate 890246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no experience with the Peg Perego but love my gluxe. I don't think the window in the shade is very important. There's a window on my vista but i never use it bc all I get is a view of DD's chest anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-vs-peg-perego-pliko-mini#post-890159 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:21:13 +0000 plantains 890159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny that I was pretty much asking about this yesterday and all the G-Luxe owners seemed to be in love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-vs-peg-perego-pliko-mini#post-890154 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:20:18 +0000 autumnlove 890154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my G-luxe...light, easy to fold, reclines almost to flat, large sunshade and I love the color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-vs-peg-perego-pliko-mini#post-890140 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:15:48 +0000 deactivated_account 890140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess nobody has any insight on this topic!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-vs-peg-perego-pliko-mini#post-887944 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:53:00 +0000 formula323 887944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bueller? bueller?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-vs-peg-perego-pliko-mini#post-865727 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:28:32 +0000 formula323 865727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone comment on their experiences with either stroller? We have an Uppababy Cruz but need an umbrella stroller for lots of upcoming travel. As far as I know, both of these strollers have great reclines &amp; shades, and can stand when folded. The Pliko Mini has a peep window in the shade but the G-Luxe does not. Any insight would be really helpful!! </p>
