Since summer is rapidly drawing to a close I’ve been trying to get out to all of the places we wanted to visit this summer …and didn’t quite get there. Since it seems everyone has the same idea, we’ve run into a lot of other people… and their strollers.

It’s been kinda fun checking out all of the latest designs. Since we live in a tourist area, we’ve seen strollers popular all over and I’ve stopped to talk to a few people about what they like and dislike, as well as, observing how it easy it is to push, pull, maneuver and get baby out of each stroller.

One of the best strollers I’ve found, especially for travel is the Uppa Baby G-Lite Stroller. I think umbrella strollers are a necessity, especially is you tend to visit places that aren’t always kid friendly…i.e. have a lot of stairs.

The Uppa Baby G-Lite has received great reviews from a variety of parenting publications. It’s extremely light at just over 8 pounds, a real plus if your baby insists on being carried and you have to lug child and stroller separately. It also includes a SHOULDER STRAP! This is one of those features that seems so obvious and is often difficult to find. What better way to tot your stroller when not actually in use?

I also like the fact that this stroller has a roomy basket. Often you trade the convenience of an umbrella stroller for the storage capability of a full size stroller and end up hanging a diaper bag dangerously from the handle. (Yes, I have tipped the stroller with my child in it. My bad.)
