@Mrs.KMM: Summer Infant is popular and has a great price at just $79. Mrs. Garland wrote a review a couple weeks ago. http://www.hellobee.com/2015/07/28/choosing-an-umbrella-stroller-summer-infant-3d-lite-review/ Here's another review of the same stroller http://www.momsstrollerreviews.com/summer-infant-3d-lite-convenience-stroller-review/

I have the mountain buggy nano and am overall very happy with it. It is very light, folds up easily (2 hands though) and pushes well for a lightweight stroller. The fact that it has a badly bar instead of two handles makes it easier to push one handed in a store. It takes up no space in our trunk, which is really nice.

I have had a couple minor complaints- we had the spring issue people complained about, but they sent the replacement piece quickly (basically the front wheel locks so you can swivel it, but it's an easy enough fix). And the sunshade isn't as big as the gluxe.

One nice bonus is you can use the buy buy baby coupons on it, which you can't on Uppababy. I managed to snag for the floor model for a steal which sealed the deal on the mb over the gluxe.

If you don't need a lot of features, the $20 Babies R Us version is fairly well made and does the trick for us when we're traveling or not in the the mood to lug around our full stroller.

We had a Summer Infant one. I hated it! We got the G Luxe on sale. Totally worth it!!

@Mrs.KMM: are you a member of any local FB resale groups. We are both in Atl, and I am a member of one near me and see Mcclarens and others all the time. Never see GLuxe.

I got a cheapo $20 one at Target and it was a huge waste of money. We literally used it once.

@Mrs.KMM: We vastly preferred the B-agile even though it was a lot bigger. The steering is such so much better. The cheap one wouldn't steer where I wanted it go and the wheels would get stuck.

We have an Eddie Bauer portage stroller and really like it. It was on sale for about $70 at Target. DD was about 2 when we got it.

IMO the G-Luxe is worth it (even my DH admitted it was worth it and he was initially SO against getting one because of the price). We were able to get one on sale at the end of the year when they were trying to make room for the new models. So you might have good luck finding one on sale in a few months!

We have the Gluxe and nothing to compare it to from experience, but FWIW, I've taken in on multiple trips (incl. international) now and it's been a great travel stroller! Initially DD and I didn't really like the umbrella stroller (vs. our full stroller), but it's my regular go-to now after 2 y/o. She loves to climb in & out, the recline feature has been used enough times with rare stroller naps - that alone made it worth the extra money IMO! It's pretty sturdy and lightweight. The other popular ones I see in our area are the MacLarens.
