When looking for an umbrella stroller that I could use on public transportation here in the city and for running quick errands, it came down to the G-Luxe or the Maclarens (Triumph and Quest). I test drove them all in the store and went with the G-Luxe, because: 1) it stands on its own when folded, which is really handy when waiting for a train or bus, plus it takes up less storage space in the apartment that way; 2) it's better designed for taller people (both in terms of handle height and feet not kicking the back when you walk); 3) it has a cup holder; 4) the recline adjusts to any position (Maclaren has a few fixed positions, and the Triumph doesn't recline as far); 5) sun coverage seemed a little better; 6) it's cheaper. All the strollers were about equal in terms of having great maneuverability, and all have small but relatively functional storage baskets. The fold and unfold process is basically the same, too, all three strollers. The only thing I liked better about the Maclarens were the color options. (I ended up with the black G-luxe, and it's very sleek and classy, but I did love those muted Maclaren browns, blues, and greens.)I also liked the peek-a-boo window on the Quest, but it's not worth an extrapound and a half of weight.
Final verdict: the Uppababy G-Luxe is a great stroller. It's as light as you can get for a full-featured umbrella, opens and folds easily, turns on a dime, and has great features that many umbrella strollers don't, like a reclining seat, storage basket, a cup holder, and the ability to stand when folded--which is hugely convenient. My baby (3 mos.) is happy and comfortable in it.
