Umbrella Stroller - which should I get

Hi! I'm between the Chicco Liteway, Chicco Capri and Uppababy G-Lite for my second stroller. I am already planning to use the City Mini GT for my main stroller but would like another more lightweight option as a spare to travel with and keep on hand.

I've read a lot about the Chicco Liteway, Chicco Capri and Uppababy G-Lite and wanted to see if any of these really are much better than the other? I like that the Liteway has the reclining option but as a FTM I am not sure if that is needed? It's a bit heavier than the other two.

The G-Lite I am considering because it seems to get great reviews and is so light weight.  

But the Capri looks super lightweight as well, and also doesn't have the reclining function so I thought why then splurge on the G-Lite.

 Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Or if there's any other lightweight option I'm missing I'd love to hear what you BTDT moms think :)

    Forget the Capri.  It's not very good. The Liteway is an okay option but it gets harder to push as your baby gets older.  I would do the G-Lite easily.  It's better quality and Uppababy's customer service is amazing.  If you want a recline, look at the G-Luxe.

    Only chiming in on the recline. I would never opt for a stroller without it, I use it all the time

    I have the G-luxe with the recline.  The stroller overall is great.

    You definitely want a recline!

    I would recommend the Liteway.  I love ours and use it all the time.  I would also recommend the Uppababy G Luxe -- we almost bought that one but it was more expensive.

    This. The sun shade is amazing on it as well. If your using it outdoors I'd go with this one. I love ours.
