You made me hate this stroller
Buyer beware: this stroller is easy to maneuver but doesn't have a brake. So even on relatively flat surfaces, the stroller will still move if you're not holding on all the time.
This stroller is not cheap, so one would expect some customer service and availability of accessories. Their customer support is definitely lacking.
There's no way to buy much needed accessories, such as a belly bar for a fan (no other way to mount a fan for a baby) and bug canopy.
The cheap plastic harness connector easily broke and likely can't be fixed; can't get through to support to ask simple questions regarding repair.
This costly stroller is now relatively useless in the outdoors.

Would not buy again - Nothing but Isssues
I was excited to purchase this stroller after seeing the good reviews, but unfortunately, I must have received a lemon. I kept feeling a an odd bouncing/vibration in the stroller the first few uses and it turned out that the front wheel had a knot and divot. Customer service replaced very quickly and we were happy. Fast forward 3 months and now the bottom front where the foot area connects to the frame will not stay together. I keep pressing the 2 pieces back into the bottom of the frame and within a few minutes of using the stroller, it's look from the frame and sagging down, touching the front wheel. I've tried contact Baby Jogger about the issue with no response. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

Overall good stroller
LOVE this stroller! I bought it because I thought I could jog with it but then I saw that it said it’s not recommended to jog with even thought it’s called a baby jogger. I feel like I could still jog with it though. It’s not really that light weight but it’s super easy to push and maneuver. Doesn’t take up much space in the trunk and is comfy to sit in for my 2 year old. The storage on the bottom is small but it’s cool that you can access it from the front of the stroller. I definitely recommend purchasing :)

Great design and even better function
I was so excited to be picked for and to test out this stroller through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. After having a different jogger stroller; I can really see how nice and functional this one is. My number one favorite thing is the size. It’s doesn’t take up most of my trunk like a different one I have. Yet, the wheels work great and I don’t feel like I’m skimping on anything at all due to its size. Also, it breaks down so easily y’all! It’s almost like a party trick when I have other moms near me and asking me about it in the neighborhood. The fabric is your typical fabric; easy to wipe and air dries well… but nothing fantastic to call home about. Folding it was a breeze and I love that it fits and takes up less space than other similar strollers. Even though it’s not a feature, it is to me because space is so important and I didn’t realize what kind of mistake I made in the past when picking a stroller system. However, it does not stand on its own if that’s important to you. The adjustable seat is great and super easy to adjust with a kiddo in the seat. I feel like my little guy was comfortable and secure in this stroller. Best of all, even though it’s a “jogger,” you don’t look silly using it when not jogging. Thanks Stellar for letting me see the light and test this jogger out!

Its okay
Honestly, I didn’t love this stroller. It’s fine for pavement but any other surface (even gravel) and the wheels don’t roll smoothly. The belt system is also really difficult to use. I have a hard time strapping in my daughter. It doesn’t really make sense to me! The locking mechanism is on the side, which I’m not used to either. I’m not a fan.

Love this stroller
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
I absolutely love it! I’ve never been one to need all the bells and whistle‘s, but I might have to change my attitude on that. I feel like they have thought of so many extra features I wouldn’t have considered needing, but completely love.
For starters the assembly instructions were detailed picture, not a bunch of wording that no one ever reads.
By far my favorite thing about this stroller is how easy it it so push on grass! We have soccer games every weekend and the large wheels make it so much easier to push than any other stroller I have used in the past. I typically have a chair in one hand and a soccer bag or diaper bag on my back and I can push this with 1 hand. It also has a 1 handed close system which is another awesome 1 handed feature. I love how high the handle bar goes up. I’m 5’8 and some other stroller I feel like I have to extend my arms fully in order to reach the handle bar.
The fabric is so soft and almost feel like a memory foam in it. I haven’t had to clean it yet but looks like it would be easy to just wipe down. The seat reclines back very far and has the ability the raise the legs up. It is great for both my 3 month old and 2.5 year old to nap in. The canopy extends super far for that extra sun and wind protection. It also has a magnetic flap in the canopy so you can see you baby.
A few critiques I have would be it doesn’t including some sort of cup holders/phone holder on the handles for parents. It would also be great to have cup holders for the kiddo. I wish it came with the belly bar or child tray but these need to be purchased separately. The basket under neither is large and I really like the flexible sides but there is no way I could fit my diaper bag down there. It’s also really hard to access when you have the seat fully reclined. I had a terrible time attaching the canopy when the stroller arrived. I worked on it for a good 10 minutes and could only get 1 side attached at the same time. My dad tried and got it attached pretty fast so could have just been me.
Overall, I really do love this stroller and would recommend it to a friend

City Mini GT2
I received the City Mini GT2 from the Stellar product testing panel and the first thing I noticed was how light weight it was. It easily folds up too which is a huge convenience for a single mom. I like to take my 2 year old on walks/ runs and the stroller glides so smooth! My little one sits comfortably and it can recline all the way incase he needs to nap. The material is soft but also not too thick, which helps because we live in FL. The canopy is very large which helps block the sun and the basket under is very large for storage. Overall, I love this stroller and the functionality. The only downfalls would be that there is no snack tray/cup holder for either the child or myself and the break bar is a tad bit confusing to find.

Smooth Ride
I love the modern design and color of this stroller, it’s also not big and clunky like others. I feel like a cool mom pushing it! My boyfriend works a lot so a stroller that is easy to transport on my own is a must. This stroller is easy to fold with one hand and easy to carry with baby in one arm and stroller in the other. The fabric is soft and easy to clean, I just take a baby wipe and wipe down after each use (my son is teething and a snacker”. My son has HATED our other stroller since day 1. We stopped using it because it became aversive. It wasn’t comfortable for him at all and the ride was not smooth with the plastic wheels. The Baby Jogger City Mini has brought back our daily/nightly walks. Whenever he sees the stroller he lets me know he wants a ride! The rubber tires have made the ride much smoother, we enjoy walks at the park and going from the sidewalk to uneven grass is a breeze. The extra large storage basket is one of my favorite features, many strollers do not have enough room to throw bags, toys, jackets. However, I haven’t had any issue with packing everything I need below! My only complaint about this product is that is does not come with the tray or a cup holder. I feel like for the price your paying it should be included. I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

A great stroller from birth through toddlerhood
I have absolutely loved using our Citi Mini GT2. I have a 2 year old who loves how comfy it is and it's so easy to steer and use. We live in the suburbs but spend a lot of time taking stroller walks and pushing it is a breeze! It fits tons and tons of different carseats which makes it a great stroller from birth through toddlerhood. It also has a really super easy fold which is helpful for putting it in and out of the car after a walk or an outing!
I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but all opinions are my own.

Great compact stroller
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. This stroller is super easy to fold with the one hand fold feature. It folds super small too it fits in the passenger side seat of my car. The handlebar is adjustable which is great. I love how far the canopy extends and how low the seat reclines it’s great for my 3 months old. The side hand break is a neat idea just takes a minute to get use to and my biggest complaint would be the storage basket at the bottom. It’s too small to store my diaper bag and you can’t hang it from the handlebar if it’s heavy because it tips the whole stroller over. You might fit a small purse or a mini backpack but I still need a regular size diaper bag for my 3 month old. The structure of the stroller is solid and sturdy while having soft fabrics for baby to sit on. Also this is not a jogging stroller I was confused at first because It say jogger in the name but that’s just the brand as a first time mom I’m still learning about these different baby brands. Overall this is a great stroller to have if you need something light weight that folds small.

City Mini GT2
The City Mini GT2 stroller is a really awesome stroller with an incredibly easy one hand fold.
Pros:
-easy to put together, it took me less than ten minutes and the instructions were very clear
-hand brake is easily accessible and the release isn't overly fiddly
-the release latch to open the stroller from it's folded position is easy to find and use
-the fabric of the stroller looks and feels nice and is easy to keep clean
-the adjustable recline of the seat is so simple to use and provides a comfortable angle from seated to nearly fully reclined and everything in-between
-the one hand fold is the stand out feature and makes this stroller so much more convenient than others I've used
-the compact fold and light weight make it very easy to store and transport
Cons:
-it does not stand very well on it's own, if you get the front wheel in the right position it will stand but otherwise it needs to be propped up
-handle gets dirty when it's standing so you really want to be able to fold it and put it straight into the car
Overall I found this to be a very well designed stroller with great features and it will be replacing the stroller we had been using. My toddler enjoys riding in it and I enjoy how smooth it is to use. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

It would be nice if the stroller had a hand brake. I like that it is lightweight, easy to close, it has shocks and the wheels are sturdy. The kiddo likes her ride and has no complaints.

Smooth comfy and functional
We had an older City Mini with our eldest and loved it so much that we didn’t bother getting another stroller for our youngest. Then we received this GT2 as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I realized how the stroller could get even better!! This is an extremely sturdy, but lightweight stroller with amazing maneuverability (one hand steering is possible even with a big toddler!). The material is really comfortable! It’s a softer fabric that feels so much better than the standard nylon-y stroller material… so comfy that when my toddler jumped in for the first time, they said they wanted to take a nap in it! The one-hand fold and unfold (combined with it being light-weight) is really key when you’ve got your hands full with bags, kids, etc. and the basket underneath is a great size. The only thing the stroller could use is some sort of cup holder for my coffee!

Compact comfortable smooth ride
This stroller is so much more compact than my current, I LOVE the one handed fold and ease that it fits into the car. The fabric is so smooth and sleek, seems like it would be very wipeable too. One of my cons with this stroller is the brake placement, I’m always scratching my hand near the Velcro attachment for the canopy when trying to disable the brake (past version was a much better design in my experience, more to the side than under). My little looks very comfortable, but does miss being able to sit up straight and watch the world a little more. I know this isn’t for running errands, but I wish the bin was more accessible and I didn’t have to pull down to place things in it. I love the dual length sunshade but do wish I had a view window when not fully down as well. One of our straps also doesn’t stay clicked together so I have to reattach with each use, not major, but is annoying. Overall, this is a sleek, smooth riding stroller and a great addition to our arsenal! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

City Mini GT2
I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is very modern looking and the fabric is high quality. The only downside I found was the the instructions for the shoulder straps were not clear enough on how to adjust them. I will be using this stroller from now on, the ride is very smooth and my daughter actually fell asleep in it the first time she rode in it! She had never fell asleep in a stroller before! My favorite feature is being able to adjust the handle height, it comes in handy for me being on the shorter side and my husband being much taller.

Great compact stroller
I am on baby #2 and have been looking for a smooth, comfortable stroller for walks throughout the neighborhood and a more luxurious option than a compact/umbrella stroller. The City Mini GT2 has been a fantastic addition to our gear! Right out of the box, the set up is incredibly simple. I normally leave any type of installation for my husband to complete, but I was able to connect the wheels quickly and right away we were ready to go. The forever air tires are such a great feature - not having to worry about filling tires up, especially the first time you use it, was so nice! The ride and smoothness is comparable to that of a jogger stroller but without having such a large footprint. It also folds up flat and relatively compact, which makes traveling with this stroller more desirable than a jogger. On our first walk, I noticed the canopy has ample coverage (especially important for the Florida sun). The fabric on the seat itself seems to be of excellent quality and very comfortable to the touch. My only criticism would is finding a place to attach a fan was not the easiest but having a fan that has a bendable attachment was a simple workaround to that issue. I am so happy I received this stroller through the Stellar Review Program to test. I would definitely recommend this stroller.

Smooth Ride with Serious Straps
I have been quietly disgruntled about our stroller for the past six... years. So I was pumped to receive the BabyJogger City Mini GT2 from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My bottom line review is that the stroller is a nice, smooth ride with a few little drawbacks. And it should be: this stroller promises to be meant for "all terrains." I tested it out on the sidewalks around our neighborhood, on some gravel, grass, and on a few small patches of rooty/rocky ground. It performed really well over the routine bumps and cracks and rough ground. (I'll admit I chickened out of testing it on a running loop near my house because who wants to get stuck in the middle of a hiking path with a mad baby in a stroller?) I've had strollers hit big cracks and just thwack to a sudden halt, but this one was able to coast over these with just a bit of a bump, so it gets two thumbs up for that.
Other things I like: The handlebars are adjustable, which I'm sure is great for adults of various heights but in my house it means my preschooler can push it without his arms being vertical. And - this is so cool- there's a trap door in this stroller! Instead of only being able to reach into the undercarriage area from one side, you can lift up a flap from the front and get to whatever you've thrown under there. Genius. I also love how big the sunshade is on this stroller. I can take baby out for a walk any time of day and not worry too much about the sun being in her eyes. The seat back is basically just a sheet of thick cardboard but it adjusts from almost straight up to all the way back so that's a nice range, and adjusting it is easy and can be done with your baby sitting in it which I find helpful.
Things I didn't love: I have a bit of trouble putting the brake on with one hand. This stroller doesn't stand up on its own when folded. I find it tough to unfold and always need two hands to do that, so I have to stage it before getting baby, which isn't always convenient. And my main complaint is the straps. THE STRAPS. I realize it's not rocket science but I am not finding it intuitive on how to connect the straps into their clicked-in position. Especially with a squirmy baby, this is not where I want to get stuck, and I keep finding myself struggling to get those things into their spots.

Good Moves
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel!
My family and I often go on walks and we got to see what this stroller is all about. The design is pretty simplistic. It is all black with a small storage basket on the bottom. The stroller has a single wheel on the front and two on the back. The handle is adjustable. The back and feet of the seat are adjustable. The fabric was soft and comfy.
Although I do like that the stroller is simple, I was wanting a slightly bigger basket at the bottom and possible a storage sleeve on the back. The stroller brake is probably my least favorite thing about the stroller. Setting and unsetting the brake takes long and is cumbersome. I wish that I was able to set/unset the brake with my feet instead of my hands. The buckle worked fine but connecting the buckle pieces together seemed slippery at times, like the pieces wouldn't stick together as easily as i'd like.
I did like the adjustable features of the stroller though. It is nice to be able to adjust the handle to your comfort and also adjust the stroller seat and foot rest to the riders comfort. My favorite thing about the stroller is that it is easy to maneuver. Turning is super easy and effortless to change directions in quicker time. I also thought that the process of folding/unfolding the stroller was easy which is always welcome.
After having different kids try the stroller seat out, they all enjoyed the ride. Our youngest fell asleep in it on our walk. I think this stroller is great for tasks that don't require hauling many things. The maneuverability makes this an awesome stroller.

Luxurious and my new favorite stroller
Between strollers I've owned, borrowed and ones sent to me for testing, I have a decent amount of experience with various strollers and features. After trying out the City Mini GT2, I can easily say the Baby Jogger brand continues to supply exceptional quality in their strollers. The material of the City Mini GT2 is lovely. I have one Baby Jogger brand high end convertible double stroller which I've always loved and the material in this GT2 seems to be even softer and nicer. But nothing beats how smooth this thing moves. As far as assembly goes, it was pretty easy despite the subpar instruction. The instructions do not include any verbage, only pictures and not what I would necessarily consider super easy to follow pictures either (although I've definitely seen way worse). Despite that though, I found the assembly process to be pretty intuitive and quick. Once assembled, my nearly 40lb 3yr old son wasted no time climbing into it (despite it being more for his younger brother lol) and I was able to easily spin him in a full smooth circle with a push from one hand. Both he and his little brother have enjoyed their rides in it and seemed quite comfy. The basket underneath is nice and large and will fit a good amount of stuff. It opens and closes easily and smoothly. The only negatives I found, and these are minor and in no way deal breakers at all, is that it's a bit of pain to change the strap height and it does not come with any accessories like parent or child trays. Which I do feel like when you are spending money for more of a luxury item, it would be nice to have some of those accessories included. However, it did come with adapters for an infant carrier but as I don't have any of those anymore, I was not able to test that part out. Overall, I absolutely love this stroller and it has become my new every day stroller for my 20 month old. I would absolutely recommend it. I must mention that I received this product for free through the Stellar Product Testing Panel but trust me when I say, this is an honest review!

Stylish and comfortable hybrid stroller
I have tried a lot of different strollers as I’ve had my three kids and we go out a lot—particularly to Disneyland where strollers are essential with little ones. This stroller is fantastic. It’s the perfect hybrid stroller—it can take on tougher terrain than a normal walking stroller, but it’s not as bulky and cumbersome as a jogging stroller. The fabric is soft and cushioned inside, while still easily wipeable. The stroller pushes like a dream. I easily pushed my 30 pound daughter in it while holding my infant with one hand through curvy, crowded unpaved paths. I went on unpaved paths while my son was sleeping in the stroller and he stayed asleep. I also used it for a short jog, and it was great. But it doesn’t have gigantic wheels that make it a burden to store or bring in the car. My favorite feature of the stroller is the folding mechanism. You pulls handle in the middle of the seat up, and in one smooth move the entire stroller folds up compactly and locks. The stroller does not stand when it is folded, which is a downside, but also understandable with the design of the wheels. You can also put up a little foot rest for smaller children to make it more comfortable. This is a great feature, but putting it back down is really difficult. The car seat attachments are easy to put on, as there is soft, stretchy material around the spot where you attach them. The seat reclines as far back as is safe for a stroller. It has the draw string recline, which is a little tricky, but makes it so you can choose the exact angle of recline you want. That said, the seat is at a bit of a recline to start off with, so little ones can get frustrated when they can’t fully sit forward in the stroller when they’re fully buckled. The storage is great, and it has an elastic top to make it easier to access the bottom. There is a bar in the way in the back that makes access to the storage a little frustrating especially with larger objects being stored. There is no snack tray or parent console included, but I believe they can be purchased separately. There is a mesh pocket on the back of the seat that I would use to store snack cups and water bottles for my kids. The adjustable handle bar is also a great design. Overall, this is an extremely well thought through product made with high quality materials. I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but I would definitely recommend it to parents looking for a versatile stroller that is great for walks, jogs and everything in between. This has become our new travel stroller because it is so compact, but it is also so versatile.
Pros:
- Adjustable and comfortable handle bar
- Sleek and stylish design
- Soft, comfortable material
- Easy recline for seat
- Extremely easy to fold (can be done with baby in one arm)
- Soft shoulder strap covers
- Easy to adjust should straps
- Easy to push
- Can go on lots of different terrains
- Foot rest pops up and locks for smaller babies or sleeping babies
- Large canopy with MAGNETIC peek a boo window (Velcro wakes babies up)
- Mesh screen on back of seat when reclined so baby doesn’t overheat (on hot days, but there is a cover so it can be closed on colder days (see picture)
- Mesh storage pocket on back of the seat
- Large under stroller storage with elastic edge
- Compact storage
Cons
- Stroller does not stand when folded
- There’s a bar right in the way of the top of the storage basket
- No snack tray or parent console included
- Mesh screen on back of reclined seat is attached with Velcro, so it’s noisy
- Drawstring recline isn’t as easy as a bat or handle
- Foot rest is hard to put back down once locked into place

Like but do not love
I received the City Mini GT2 free as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
I like this stroller overall. It pushes very well on the uneven sidewalks in my neighborhood and the grass at the park. It's lightweight and has an incredibly easy fold and unfold. It fits well in the back of my compact SUV. It's good at what it does.
Now for what I dislike. I hate how tippy it is and how small the under-basket is. I also dislike the feel of the rubberized handlebar grips. I don't like the way the pieces of the harness/buckle come apart. My youngest is 14 months, and he seems comfortable in it, though he seems to want it to sit a bit more upright than it does. If my kids were younger, I'd like it less as I prefer to parent-face for the first 9 months to a year.
Even though there's a lot I dislike about it, I find myself reaching for this stroller more than some of my others for planned outings outdoors that involve driving. The easy fold and unfold is great compared to some of my other strollers, and the all-terrain functionality is great compared to my travel stroller.

Love this stroller
I received this stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This stroller is super lightweight and very easy to carry. Straight out of the box it was so easy to put to together everything just kinda pops on so no tools were required. The straps are also super easy to adjust. It's very easy to maneuver especially when jogging or just out running errands.. I love that it has the big durable wheels so it has no problem going over any kind of ground like dirt or rocks or anything! It has a nice sleek design that is simple but still looks very nice. Its also very comfortable so my son loves riding it. It also comes with attachments to be able to hook at infant carseat to it which I thought was pretty cool even though I personally don't need it. The sun shade is great. It actually goes down pretty far so it actually protects my son and it has uv protection! All in all I love this stroller. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there isnt any brakes for the wheels so i have to always be holding the stroller unless I am on completely flat grounds but to me that's a minor detail and I still really love this stroller!

The Cadillac of Strollers
I recommend Baby Jogger City Mini GT strollers to EVERYONE I know who is starting a family. I already owned the City Mini GT, and I was given the City Mini GT2 to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The City Mini GT2 is THE WAY TO GO when buying a stroller!
Pros:
- the all-terrain tires: This was really important to me. I use my stroller a lot of gravel or grass, and other strollers just can’t push over those terrains. This stroller glides over everything easily. The suspension on this stroller (I think this is an upgrade new to the GT2) also makes the ride so smooth for your baby or toddler.
- sun shade: This thing is huge, and that is actually incredibly important. I am very cautious about sun, and I love having this protection. The sun shade also has peekaboo windows to let you see your baby. An amazing upgrade on the GT2 is that the cover for these windows is magnetic instead of velcro. This means no more waking up your baby with velcro noise when checking on them through the window!
- age: This stroller can fit literally any child. I had a newborn (2 months old) and he can happily ride in it when I recline the back of the seat. My almost three year also loves this stroller, and with a weight limit of 65 pounds, I know that my kids will be done using strollers completely by the time they outgrow the GT2. This is a one size fits all stroller.
- The new foot rest on the GT2 in a great addition. It works awesome for napping and is really helpful in having another location to access my diaper bag from the bottom basket.
- When they say one hand fold, they mean it. It is so easy. I can take this stroller from open to folded and put away in the trunk (all while holding a child!) in about 5 seconds.
- The material feels well made and sturdy. It is comfortable for my kids.
Cons:
Please note, I consider these cons pretty minor and still give this stroller a 5 star review and recommendation to my friends and family.
- The basket underneath the stroller is a little small, BUT I can still fit a large diaper bag back pack in it along with other loose smaller items. It just takes me a minute to shove the back pack in just right.
- There isn’t a cup holder or a great place for a wallet or phone, so you need to buy a parent console. I own the Baby Jogger brand one and it fits great, but you can get anything really.
- The seats most upright position is a little bit too reclined for my preference. Even in the most upright, your child will still be leaning back a bit. My almost 3 year old has never complained though. I just think being more upright would be better for trips to places like the zoo.
Long story short, I genuinely recommend that you buy this stroller if you are looking. The City Mini GT2 is an amazing stroller no matter what type of city or town you live in, and the upgrades that Baby Jogger gave this stroller in comparison to the older version are really helpful. If you can’t decide what to buy, stop your search now and get this stroller.

Perfect From Birth to Toddler
I was so excited when the City Mini GT2 showed up at my door as part of The Stellar Panel Review. My chunky 11 month old fit great and was so comfortable that he fell asleep every time we took him for a walk in it. He had some competition with my 3.5 year old when it came to getting to sit in it. I loved being able to lay it flat for naps and the clear window where I could check on them without retracting the whole umbrella.
Set up was intuitive and simple and it seems all the pieces are very high quality.
The one hand fold is so convenient for putting the stroller away, whether that's in the garage or the back of the car. It fit fine in my SUV as well as in my sedan.
Overall I am very pleased with the stroller and it is our current default stroller. The only things I would add are a parent console and a little tray for the kiddo. These things can be added on hut I do feel like at this price point it should come with the stroller.

Obsessed with this stroller
This stroller is amazing! I am so thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller. My son and I go for walks at least 5 days a week and now our walks are even more fun! Here’s why:
The fabric is so soft and comfortable and I love that they continued it in the canopy (I also love the magnets for the “window” instead of Velcro) - brilliant!
This stroller is so sturdy! We live in a hilly area and the roads aren’t always super smooth and this stroller handled it all with ease. I also love that the handle is adjustable, the front wheel can be locked or unlocked and the brake is so easy to use (I appreciate that it isn’t a foot lever brake). Overall, the design and stability of the stroller make me feel safer taking my son for walks - and he definitely loves this stroller too!
Another thing I absolutely love? How easy it is to fold this stroller! I can fold the stroller with ease using only 1 hand while holding my son and it folds up so compactly! It’s perfect for putting in the trunk for running errands or storing in the hallway.
I can’t think of anything negative to say about this stroller! It is a little on the heavy side, but it makes sense given the features and stability it offers! So thankful to have such a top-notch stroller to enjoy with my son!

Breath of fresh air
This stroller is a breath of fresh air and I cannot believe it took having my fourth baby to jump on board and realize how great it is. First, the “look,” it’s all black and looks like a “cool mom” accessory. Second, functionality. It’s so lightweight, super easy to fold, fits great in the trunk, and according to the kids, it’s comfy to ride in. My oldest is 6.5 and she has even sat in it! Things I don’t love are the complicated wheel brake and the harness clips—the wheel brake isn’t intuitive like my other strollers and I’m still not quite used to it and avoid braking for that reason! And the harness clips—the left one often slips off while buckling and leaves me wrestling with a wiggly baby. Aside from those two, I highly recommend this stroller because of its “look” and functionality. Also, I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Awesome stroller
This stroller is so great! We got is as a part of Stellar Product Testing Panel. It was very easy to assemble and my little guy hopped in as soon as we had it together. He loved being in it and was very comfortable. I love that it folds up easily and for the size of the stroller it folds very small!! That makes it easy for transport. It maneuvers incredibly well, and is even easy to push uphill!

Amazing stroller
I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is by far one of the nicest stroller I have used. It moves so smoothly, you can even steer it easily with one hand. The handle bar adjusts to multiple positions and the fabric is thin but has a very high end feel. The infant car seat adapters are easy to use and the shade can cover the entire car seat! This stroller folds up super easy and is very lightweight. We definitely intended to use it for our 5 month old, but even my 4 year old loves it. (pictured) It reclines back really far and a foot rest kicks up for a very comfy ride. The only downside is there is no cupholder but there is plenty of storage underneath. Overall a great product!

Outstanding maneuverability and looks great
I only recently received this stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have only used it a handful of times but I already LOVE it! I have another jogging stroller which I also really enjoy but it’s so bulky and takes up the entire trunk of my big suv when loaded. This stroller lays so flat and the wheels don’t stick out super wide like my other jogging stroller. And to fold this stroller is also the easiest thing! There is only one handle to pull and it folds instantly.
I also have the City Select stroller with the double seat add-on and it’s so easy to maneuver, even one handed, so it’s not surprise that this stroller is the same in terms of maneuverability.
One last thing to mention is how light the stroller is. I tested it with my 5, 4, and 2 year olds and I could still easily push it around unlike other strollers where the weight of the stroller combined with the weight of the child makes it practically unusable. Oh and even my 2 year old could easily push it!
I’m due in a few weeks and love that this stroller fully reclines so I can use it for the new baby too or I can even keep the baby in his infant carseat which attaches easily to the stroller with an adaptor. This stroller is very versatile and Baby Jogger seems to have thought of everything in its design!
