When baby number two came along recently, we were faced with a decision. The G-Lite is a single stroller. What were we going to do now that we needed seating for two? We looked into double strollers, but even the light weight ones weighed far more than double the weight of the G-Lite (at only 6lbs, it’s hard to compete!) Not to mention that none of the other strollers offered the FABULOUS washable seat that UPPAbaby has on the G-Lite. The G-Lite is the only stroller out there (or it was, until UPPAbaby recently re-designed the G-Luxe) with an easily removable seat that goes in the washing machine AND still leaves you with a (very usable) mesh seat. We love, love, LOVE that feature (and can’t count how many times we’ve used it). So we really didn’t want to give it up.
So, after much research and debate, we decided to keep the G-Lite and simply get a second one for baby #2. We actually think that having two strollers rather than one double stroller will be an advantage in smaller stores or on narrow sidewalks where it would be difficult to fit a wider stroller. We’re planning on trying out some stroller connectors so that just one of us can push them both through the airport, for example (especially since eventually Wendy will travel “home” to Canada with them alone). We’ll let you know how the stroller connectors go once we’ve tried them.

Right now we’re leaning toward bringing the Snap ‘n Go for the baby and the G-Lite for our toddler. By our next family trip, our son will be old enough for the G-Lite and we plan to switch to using two of those. Have you been in a similar situation? How have you handled it?
Hi Ian and Wendy,
Definitely face the same problem when child #2 arrived 🙂
My family does like to go traveling, and we are lucky to have been able to find a relatively lightweight double stroller which we now use for traveling – it weighs about 16 pounds.
The other thing we’ve tried (when we are lazy and don’t feel like lugging around a stroller in the airport) is renting strollers. Of course, this will require some money, but we’ve generally found it to be much more convenient.
Cheers,
Evelyn
