This Lightweight Stroller Makes Getting Out of the House 1000x Easier

November 7, 2018 Julien Garman

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of UPPAbaby. The opinions and text are all mine.

Fall has arrived, and with it, so many fun chances to get outside, see the leaves, and get some fresh air. And with a new baby, it's given us even more incentive to get off the couch and experience new things with our little Chloe.

But, in soaking in all the fun Fall festivities, we ran into a small hiccup...Chloe suddenly decided she no longer wanted to lay down in her car seat stroller during our outings. She wants to be a big girl and sit up. We even tried wearing her on walks, only to discover that 3-month old babies can have temper tantrums too!

So when we got her the UPPAbaby G-LUXE, it was a game changer. FINALLY Chloe could sit up happily and safely (now that she can hold her neck up all by herself!) It has a one-handed recline too, which is so nice for gauging how far back she wants to lean at any point and time. (Because believe me, it changes from moment to moment!)

It's super lightweight too, making it our first choice for popping in the car for a quick trip to the farmer's market or to see the foliage. And because babies that are Chloe's age don't wear sunscreen, I SO appreciate that the stroller has a UPF 50+ sunshade, blocking harmful UV rays that are easy to forget about otherwise during the cooler months.

UPPAbaby G-Luxe Stroller

Not only is it lightweight, but it has easy folding functionality that takes up minimal space. If you've ever gone out to brunch with a baby and tried not to be EVERYWHERE (speaking from experience here), you'll understand why this is so great. I can't tell you how many times we've felt SO in the way when we've been out to eat with all our baby stuff. But the UPPAbaby G-LUXE can stand on its own, out of the way. And when you're out to eat, anything you can do to make things easier on yourself takes a lot of stress off so you can enjoy.

And for those who have kiddos who are either messy eaters or are prone to bathroom accidents, the removable inserts are all machine washable, stain resistant and water resistant. Insert prayer emoji hands here. If any other moms have had to clean out a poopy car seat, you know what a big deal this is!

In this design, I was excited that the storage area below the seat holds our huge baby bag (up to ten pounds!) It's funny – it seems like such a big bag but EVERYTHING is essential. It's just so nice to not have to carry it around, and let the UPPAbaby G-LUXE do all the hard work for us.

Even after only being a mom for a few months, I've realized that I get out more often when I set myself up for success ahead of time…whether than means packing an extra two set of clothes (for mom too!), packing a little extra breastmilk for car rides, or bringing a lightweight stroller that can easily be set aside. If you've been looking for a portable stroller, the UPPAbaby G-LUXE is one I'd highly recommend. Feel free to message me with any questions you might have about it – always happy to help!
