I just realized we also have the gluxe, not the Cruz - I got them mixed up!</p> <p>@nana87: we also have a problem with squeaky wheels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436456 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:40:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2436456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: no I don't see the point in locking the front wheels of most strollers either, especially an umbrella one. The issue was that they would lock on their own. It was just a faulty spring but it was annoying until I remembered to change it (but MB sent the replacement within a week of me calling- it was my delay in changing it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436405 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:08:54 +0000 Cole 2436405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that would make sense. I have never tried locking our front wheels. I was a nanny for ten years and now have a one year old and I have never figured out the point... (Aside from running which clearly we don't do with an umbrella stroller) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436382 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:50:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2436382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I wonder if we have had a couple minor issues like the loose screws because it was the floor model (considering the deal we got in ok if that's the case!). We also had the first generation that had an issue with the front wheels locking but I understand all new ones are fixed anyway (and they sent us a repair kit). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436350 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:38:42 +0000 Littlebit7 2436350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have an UB gluxe. we love it. its not super compact but it also doesn't feel like a flimsy umbrella either. DH likes it more than our big stroller a lot of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436344 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:36:42 +0000 Cole 2436344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the nano too and love it. I appreciate that it comes with a travel bag too. Knock on wood, we haven't had any issues with anything coming loose.</p> <p>Oh and the combi coccoro convertible seat will fit in it too! Being able to use it as a car seat cart is a big plus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436337 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:32:13 +0000 PinkElephant 2436337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're willing to make an investment (or can find one used), the BabyZen YoYo is amazing. It is so light, but I find pushing it comparable to pushing the Bugaboo Bee. It folds very easily and can be carried like a handbag right onto the plane. I put it under my LO's seat, and no one even realizes I brought a stroller on board, so they don't hassle me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436300 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:14:01 +0000 nana87 2436300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use an uppababy gluxe when we travel as well as day-to-day since our daycare only has room to store umbrella strollers, and it's mostly great. my one complaint is that the wheels are very squeaky, but that's after over a year of heavy use (3-4 days/week). we also have a cruz, which I much prefer for daily use but def not for travel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436168 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:15:11 +0000 Alivoo01 2436168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Chicco Liteway as our travel/every day stroller. It's held up well and offers 2 reclining positions in addition to the upright position.</p> <p>Basket isn't very big and neither is the sunshade though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436047 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:49:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2436047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Uppababy Cruz, which is their "basic" umbrella stroller. I like that it's light and will stand up by itself when folded, the basket is reasonably sized although not terribly big, and it has a cup holder. I also like that it reclines and has a sunshade for on the go naps. I feel like its most upright mode is a little more reclined than my son would like on a regular basis, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436044 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:47:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2436044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mountain buggy nano. I love how small it folds- watch the video, it's really compact. It opens and closes very quickly and easily but does require two hands. You can attach any infant car seat without any special adapters, which is nice if you plan to have more babies. The recline is very nice, though we almost always just use it upright. </p> <p>Cons- it doesn't push as smoothly as a full size stroller, and tiny little things like screws have come loose. Nothing we couldn't fix just annoying considering the cost. We got a floor model for a great deal though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436034 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:39:04 +0000 catlady 2436034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Maclaren Mark II. It is pretty bare bones but we bought it because it is the lightest on the market (7 lbs). Easy to open and close, and you can carry it on your back. I think it sits up pretty straight (LO prefers it to our other stroller, the city mini GT, which is more reclined, I think). Not sure how supportive the back is though. It is a very thin material with no extra padding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436026 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:32:00 +0000 lamariniere 2436026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maclaren. We have the Techno XT, which used to be our main stroller but is now our travel stroller. It has been tons of places and always holds up to being checked in the airplane. If I had to buy a new one specifically for travel, I would consider the Globetrotter model. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/travel-stroller-1#post-2436019 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:28:15 +0000 MamaG 2436019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is your go to travel stroller? We have a large Britax B-Ready that I love, but it's not practical for travel. We also have an older Britax B-Agile that I love/hate. Ours doesn't have a very supportive back and it seems to reclined (boo.) We have an upcoming trip that I need a good compact stroller for our toddler. Recommend me one. </p>
