Baby Jogger City Mini
The City Mini is a full-size stroller that doesn't really stand out in any way except the fact that it's light and compact when folded. It also scores well in all our categories. However it doesn't score quite as well as its peers due to a poorly-placed peek-a-boo and storage that's a bit obstructed.
This is a great stroller for families who need something to help them get through their daily and occasional adventures. It has a wide footrest that is cushioned. This will make it comfortable for little ones. The seat reclines pretty flat however it took us two hands to achieve. The adjustable support for the calf is an excellent feature and will allow your child to lift their feet if they're exhausted.
The City Mini, like many other strollers we have listed, has a large canopy that is UV50. Parents love it. The sun shade is constructed beautifully and can be pulled all the way down. This is fantastic because it will protect your child from the sun, without having to constantly tuck the shade back into place.
The City Mini can be easily transformed into a double-stroller simply by attaching an add on kit. This will give you the option of using any Baby Jogger car seat and creating an entire travel system right from the beginning. The only downside is that adding a second seat to the stroller can alter its look and feel. Some parents might find this difficult to manage after they get used to it.
The City Mini GT Double Stroller is another alternative to the City Mini. It is a bit more expensive than the single City Mini, but it comes with some extra features like "forever-air" rubber tyres. It also has suspension, which makes it suitable for off-road excursions. It has an adjustable handlebar as well as parking brakes that is operated by hand and a more streamlined design than the regular City Mini.
