For a few years now Maclaren ultra light strollers have been the lightest premium umbrella strollers on the market. UPPABaby would like to be the lightest but regardless what my local baby store salesperson tells me they simply aren’t the lightest.
The Gluxe weighs in at a whopping 11 lbs which sounds great until you compare it against the new Volo stroller.
The newest Volo (model year 2012) weighs only 8.8 lbs making it by far the lightest stroller for sale other than the cheap plastic umbrella stroller s that you wouldn’t trust your daughters good dolls in. :)
Amazingly the new Volo stroller is actually heavier than the 2011 Volo which only weighed 8.6 lbs. Presumably the differences went to beefing the stroller up a bit so that it could meet global safety standards; a new feat for all of the Maclaren strollers in 2012.
There are a good number of other light strollers on the market and although the G-Luxe is heavier I would still not say that it is the best.
I noted on my best stroller list that I believe the new Globetrotter stroller by Maclaren is the best lightweight umbrella stroller of 2012. It’s slightly heavier than the Volo but it reclines – that makes it better in my opinion.
