2nd Trimester

Baby Jogger City Mini

I went this weekend to 'test drive' the strollers again and I think I'm going with the Baby Jogger City Mini.  At first I was going with the chicco then once I realized that I could buy the adapter for the chicco or graco infant seat I started to look at the baby jogger and realized that it folds up in to about 1/2 the size of the travel systems, can be folded and put in my suv with one hand I decided this was the one.  THe only thing I didn't like was the basket size but I think I can live with that.

For those who currently have this stroller, what do or don't you like about it and would you purchase it again knowing what you know now?

  • I LOVE mine! I do find she sits a bit slouched in it, but it has all the right features to make me forget about it. Yup, the basket is pretty much useless if you wanted to put your whole diaper bag in it, but if you just want to toss in a sippy, a diaper, some wipes and a blanket it works just fine!

    For me, the ability to toss it in the car one handed while holding a baby is worth its weight in gold. I also love how well it maneuvers, the full sunshade with the double windows, and the fact that the tires aren't huge. I love it so much I'm getting the double for when this LO arrives!

  • I loooooove my City Mini.  I would buy it again and again and again!  The basked is a little small, but what I do is unsnap one of the sides of the basket, and then put the diaper bag in, and resnap it.  Super easy and it fits well.  It's a decent sized bag, too.

  • Definitely my stroller of choice too. Anyone recommend black over the stone color for durability?
  • My black one still looks fine- I don't think there's been a ton of wear on it over the last year.

  • If you get a 2011, hopefully you wouldn't have the slouching problem.  They made a couple changes:

    1. They added an insert to make the back firmer (instead of you having to buy an insert or get a piece of cardboard)

    2. They apparently added some kind of adjustment so that you can make the seat back more upright.
