But I know lots of moms who are perfectly happy with the 2012. I guess you don't know what you're missing if you never have it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-2013-or-2012-model#post-652283 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:16:18 +0000 lemong 652283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana - thanks for the feedback! Now you have me thinking I should get the 2013 model. I had sort of forgotten that this can be used for years, and we anticipate on having a second kid at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-2013-or-2012-model#post-652001 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 12:47:02 +0000 banana 652001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemong: I have the 2012 model and I just saw a video review of the 2013. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely get the 2013 model for $30 more. FOR SURE. The wider seat base and one hand recline sold me. My son is 3 years old and the stroller is starting to get snug already (although he is tall for his age). The recline on the 2012 model is such a pain for me (I hate the string pull). I have the Bugaboo bee and it has a one hand recline and after dealing with the string, I realize how convenient a one hand recline is. I didn't watch the entire video so I don't know what the other upgraded features are. But just for the wider seat, higher back and one hand recline alone, I would hands down buy the 2013 model.</p> <p>ETA: Man...I'm so tempted to sell my 2012 and buy the 2013. I dont' think my son will fit comfortably in the 2012 model soon. I'd give him maybe another 6 months. I was hoping I would be able to use the stroller longer (for disney trips and such). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-2013-or-2012-model#post-651970 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 12:35:28 +0000 lemong 651970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08 - so you're perfectly happy with the 2012? I guess the only feature that would make a difference for me is the seat recline. If the one for the 2012 is not annoying or a problem, then I'll probably stick with that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-2013-or-2012-model#post-651923 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 12:10:37 +0000 bunnylove08 651923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the seat is also wider. i have the 2012 and i think the new features are cool, but i wouldn't switch to the 2012 because i dont find the old feature annoying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uppababy-g-luxe-2013-or-2012-model#post-651850 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:39:43 +0000 lemong 651850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm pretty sure we're going to get a UB G-luxe for LO. Anybody have any experience yet with the 2013 model? It's $220 and the 2012 model is $190. Some of the new features are new types of wheels, the recline mechanism is different (one-handed lever recline), increased weight capacity (up to 55 lbs). Any thoughts from the group? </p>
