Baby Jogger City Mini
The City Mini is a full-size stroller that doesn't really make a statement in any way other than the fact that it's extremely light and compact here when folded. It also excels in all of our categories, though it's not as well as some of the competition due to the poorly-placed peek-a-boo window and storage that's a bit restricted.
But, it's an excellent stroller, and one of our top picks for families that require something that can get them through everyday use and occasionally a trip. It features a large footrest that is well-padded. This will make it comfortable for little ones. The seat reclines to a nice flat position, but we found that it was a bit tricky to do and required two hands. The adjustable calf supports for calf are a nice feature that allows your child's feet to flex when they get tired.
The City Mini, like many other strollers we have listed is equipped with a large canopy that is UV50. Parents are raving about it. The sun shade is beautifully constructed and can be pulled all the way down, which is great because it will keep your child safe from sun without having to constantly tuck it back into the right spot.
Another fantastic characteristic of the City Mini is that it can be converted into double strollers by attaching an add-on kit. You can use any Baby Jogger car-seat and create an entire travel system from the beginning. The only issue is that the addition of a second seat changes the look and feel of the stroller and some parents might be a bit hesitant to manage once they are used to it.
Another option to the City Mini is the City Mini GT Double Stroller. This model is slightly pricier than the single City Mini, but it includes extra features like "forever-air" rubber tyres. It also has suspension, which is suitable for off-road excursions. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a hand-operated parking brake, which makes it more user-friendly than the standard City Mini.
