i have the maclaren quest but prefer the uppababy g luxe. the maclaren is sturdier, but it has a smaller sunshade and the brake in the back makes it hard to get up and down stairs.

i haven't used the uppababy and the brake is on the back on that stroller too, but in a less inconvenient place than the maclaren.

reclining was the most important feature for me, and we definitely use the recline a lot!

if/when we need one we'll be purchasing the uppa gluxe. since they're local we can get one from the factory at something like 40% off!!

ETA: we'd probably actually get the glite since we don't need the reclining feature... RJ sleeps fine sitting up.

We got the Bumbleride 2010 Flite Stroller via BabyAge for $179. WOOT! It was super easy to assemble, reclines, I love the construction of it. There's a pretty decent size shade, comes with a infant car seat adapter that works with our car seat (Chicco KeyFit 3). The 2010 comes with a free rain shield while the 2011 does not.

I first heard about it via Babble. It's their Best Umbrella Stroller pick for 2011.

I just test drove the Uppababy, Mclaren and Chicco's mentioned above and the Uppababy g-luxe was by far te best. The Chicco steered terrible once the babies weight was in the seat and the sun shades on both chicco an Mclaren are pointless. If you can take baby and try these out.
