[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a Cruz and G-Luxe and honestly not crazy about either.

Cruz hasn't held up so well over the past 2 years -- brake isn't working now.  It does have nice features, but given the weight, we don't use it much now.  We mainly use the G-Luxe, which is fine, but nothing special in my view.  If I could go back, I'd consider the City Mini or Britax B-Agile.  [/quote]

Side note, but the brake may be an easy fix, if it's the very common brake issue with the Cruz (we've had it with two different frames now). Is the problem that you try to brake and it won't engage, or engages with some force but then slips out? If so, oil the screw on the brake with a couple of drops of bicycle grease (if you don't have bikes and don't want to buy, any bike shop will probably do it for you). Work the brake back and forth and it should be good as new. (I was super skeptical when they asked me to try this, but they were right that it worked.) It's a common enough issue that UB has an instruction sheet on how to fix it so hopefully that is your problem and you can at least fix it in case you want to sell the stroller!

We have the Cruz and like but don't love it. Love the reversible feature. Not so in love with the weight; might have preferred something heavier with actual air tires, and then something very lightweight, but we were trying to avoid having multiple strollers. For that function it probably is a good compromise between weight/bulk and function. We were deciding between the Cruz and the City Mini, and they're pretty similar bulk-wise--City Mini is easier to fold and a little lighter, if I remember, but wheelbase is wider and it's longer. Neither is great for bumpy roads or gravel, and neither is light enough to throw over your shoulder on the bus or what-have-you. Main distinction is whether you want a reversible seat or not (although Baby Jogger has their own reversible, too--the Versa--which is somewhere in between the Cruz and Vista in weight/bulk, and much heavier/bulkier than the City Mini).
