UPPAbaby G-Luxe vs Chicco Liteway

The G-Luxe costs $140 more than the $110 Liteway and returns it in specifics: 1.4 lb lighter (16.3 against 17.7), a 55 lb limit against 40, a start at 3 months against 6, a fold that stands and a three-year warranty. Neither takes an infant car seat, and both fold long. The Liteway's four recline positions are its one listed edge, which makes it a closet backup and little more.

Folded, the Chicco Liteway makes a 3.14 cu ft box to the UPPAbaby G-Luxe's 5.57 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the UPPAbaby G-Luxe misses by 19.8 in and the Chicco Liteway by 24 in. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe is 1.4 lb lighter by its maker's figure (16.3 lb to 17.7 lb).

UPPAbaby G-Luxe: what it gives up

  • Basket rated to only 10 lb
  • 16.3 lb, about the same as the far smaller-folding Minu V3
  • Long umbrella fold (41.8 in) will not go in an overhead bin
  • Owners say the two separate handles and two-handed fold make solo trips with a toddler hard

  • 17.7 lb is heavy for an umbrella stroller
  • 40 lb child limit, 10 lb under the 50 lb most singles here allow
  • From 6 months only, no car seat
