guzzie+Guss G+G 102


LET THE PRICE REVOLUTION BEGIN
 
The GUGU 102 sports a hi-density, fully suspended aluminum frame. The rear wheels contain air filled tires and sealed bearings on a steel axle to guarantee low-resistance rolling and many years of trouble free use. With useful features like a telescoping adjustable handle, one-touch brakes, three-position recline and reversible seat, you won’t need to look any further for an all in one stroller. But just in case you wanted more, the seat instantly converts to a bassinette.


The GUGU 102 incorporates features and design quality comparable to strollers that retail for hundreds more. With full rain gear and an insulated foot muff, your baby will be traveling in comfort and style from day one. Going out for a short stop at the mall? Simply add the “truly” universal carseat adapter, and this stroller instantly works with any carseat on the market. With all of today’s must-have features, the GUGU 102 is the “it” stroller without the “it” price.

If you are looking for a stroller comparable to the high end variety, this will surprise you as it is half the price of the "designer" strollers on the market. The instant bassinet is perfect if your little one likes to sleep on outings. The stroller is easy to assemble and easy to fold up and put in the trunk. It is not as heavy as some of the strollers out there. I love the large air filled tires because I go on a lot of nature walks so it can go over bumps with ease.  

The only thing bad that I can say about it is that there is no cup holder as I like to bring my water with me on my walks. It would also be helpful if Babies R Us sold the car seat adapter as I had to buy mine from another retailer. If you have the infant car seat, I highly recommend that you purchase the car seat adapter.
Other than a few minor inconveniences, this stroller is by far the nicest one I have tried and I looked at a lot of strollers out there! I am so proud of it and I like that it is a Canadian company that manufactures it. If you would like a nice looking stroller that can be used for many years, this is the one for you. 4/5 stars.

I originally looked at more expensive stroller brands but thought this was the best value for the money. The person who sold us this stroller said Guzzie and Guss is a "knock off" company who copies other big stroller companies but we did not care about that. In fact, it is nice since you get all the great features. I like the idea of supporting this Canadian company - let's just hope it holds up!

The toddler seat can convert into a bassinet which is a great feature (although I don't love that the clips hang down and are visible in bassinette mode -I got over it though). I prefer this feature over a separate bassinet because after a few months, it would be sitting in our basement adding to the clutter anyway.

Has a smooth, sturdy ride with nice tires good for different terrain and snow. It is also super simple to fold and unfold which was a must for me. I also like that it can stand up once folded. I am petite and this is pretty easy for me to manage. It is not light but comparable to other strollers of its kind.

I am really pleased with this stroller but didn't give 5 stars because nothing is perfect.

Overall we are very happy with it. Our daughter is 11 months now so we didn\'t get to really use the bassinet feature much (she refuses to sleep if we are out-and-about) but it will be great for baby #2. We love the all-in-one seat/bassinet feature, the reversible seat, smooth ride, huge canopy, light to push, short turn radius/length for smaller stores or supermarket aisles, decent basket size, the extras that come with it (foot muff, rain cover), and that it fits in my Jetta trunk (wheels in first) much better than the Peg Perego (only takes up a little more than half of the trunk). The only downsides are that it is a bit heavy to lift into the trunk (would have been difficult for a while after delivery), the handlebar doesn\'t quite go low enough for me (I\'m 5\'2\"), and when the seat is facing mom it is difficult to access the storage basket - but these are minor considering all the other features. This stroller was the only one that had all of these features other than the Bugaboos but for about half of the cost (plus the Bugaboo\'s seats don\'t switch into the bassinet mode, they are a separate bassinet). Highly recommended.

Amie Philips Foster wrote on guzzie+Guss' Facebook page,  Hi! I just wanted to praise you. I own a GUGU 102 and I live in the "snow belt" area of Ontario. We recently had a HUGE snowstorm and today I took my first trip into town after being storm-stayed for three days. The GUGU 102 was amazing on the snowy sidewalks! Thanks for making such an awesome stroller. xoxo
