guzzie+Guss G+G 042

MODERN ELEGANCE

The crowning achievement of the guzzie+Guss stroller design team, the G+G 042 stroller can go where others dare not. From walking through parks and across uneven surfaces, to sandy beaches and snow covered sidewalks; climbing up stairs and right to the table side, the G+G 042 is truly a do it all stroller. Incorporating all of the classic functions of a full-sized pram, simply add the bassinet and your baby will glide on sealed bearings, full suspension, and air-filled tires for the smoothest of rides.

Not only does the stroller have a reversible seat, but also has a reversible handle for endless walking configurations. The telescoping handle creates a comfortable walking position for parents of all heights and the on-handle brake control means no sore toes from applying the brake when walking in sandals. The G+G 042 will even convert into a table side feeding chair, making this one of the most versatile strollers ever built.

Customer Reviews:  

From Canadian Family Magazine.
Tested by Matthew Till, dad of Isaac, 2, and seven-month-old Patrick, Nepean, Ont.

WEIGHT: 18 lbs
WIDTH: 25"
CAR SEAT COMPATIBILITY: Universal

FEATURE: Reversible telescopic handle and reversible, detachable seat, foot muff and bassinet included, safety strap, side-trigger three-position full recline (including fully upright), handbrake, full suspension and air-filled rubber tires. A Canadian design.

PROS: “We really like the brake on the handle and how fully erect the upright position is. We also like how the handle is reversible from front to back. The basket looks small, but has a lot of room and the drawstring holds everything in very well.”

CONS: “When the child is rear-facing, it feels front-heavy, which makes it tricky to control when going downhill and difficult to lift the front wheels up a curb.”

RATING: 8.5/10

guzzie+Guss G+G 104

G+G 104 pictured in Jade
THE ULTIMATE UMBRELLA STROLLER.

Few umbrella strollers are designed for full time use. Many do not accommodate infants, storage of items, or much else other than a child. guzzie+Guss have decided that the time of the inconvenient stroller is over – the new G+G 104 has it all. Incorporating a full recline and infant-ready footrest means that you can safely use this lightweight stroller from birth. The G+G 104 uses a 3-stage canopy which can be pulled completely over baby to protect from the sun or rain. This canopy also includes a UV protective peek-a-boo window and rear venting. Tall handles and a shoulder strap translate to comfortable all day use, even when traveling. The G+G 104 uses larger EVA wheels and full suspension to ensure a smooth ride and ventilated fabrics for comfort; it even has a couple of extra storage pockets on the back for your keys and a diaper change. Good from day one, the G+G 104 will be at your daily service for as long as you need a stroller.

+ from New Mama Thinks blog:  So, I love my full size stroller, but I really wanted something lightweight that wouldn't take up my entire trunk.  I looked at umbrella strollers for months before I chose the Guzzie + Guss 104. I took a gamble on it since I really couldn't find any reviews of it at the time, and I had to drive over an hour to even have a look at it since it isn't sold in my town, but it had so many features that I love I just needed to see it.  It really is a full-featured stroller in a compact size.  read more @http://newmamathinks.blogspot.com/2010/10/umbrella-stroller-search-find-review.html
