Baby Jogger City Mini Double stroller (2011) - Reviews

Comments:

We have rented this stroller twice while taking our family vacation to WDW. We have the Baby Jogger City Elite (double) at home but love this more lightweight, portable stroller while on vacation. It's easy to push, fits my 2 and 5 year old and is a breeze to fold up for bus trips. My only complaint is the center bar in the back that blocks access to the basket. We are able to shove items in the side though, so overall it's a wonderful stroller!

This stroller is really nice and easy to manuever. It folds so easliy too. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is hard to get to the basket.Otherwise it is very lightweight to be a double stroller and we use it all the time.

Comments:

Great stroller overall. Easy to maneuver and lightweight, which is a plus! It is comfortable for the kids and the shade is definitely is big enough to block out the sun. However some cons would be that although it is already quite narrow for a double-stroller, it is still hard to get through some aisles when you're shopping. It's also quite bulky when you add on the car seat adapter and becomes quite heavy.jenny.w.hui[@]

Great, i use It with my two years old daughter and my son 3 months old. It's simple, not too big and I just love it.

I am overall very satisfied with this prodcut. My twins enjoyed the ride (and the sleep) through the zoo, parks, and Disneyland. The only flaws are when you stow it it won't stand on its own unless you take the wheels out. And you have to have a car with a very large trunk in order to stow it and your luggage when you're traveling.

I tried every double stroller on the market before settling on this one. On a trip to San Diego, I went to a store and compared all the baby jogger products along with the double BOB (way too heavy), the Phil and Teds, and the lower priced brans as well. This was the best. So easy to take in and out of the car. Easy storage in the back (but not under the seats really), great sun protection (which is what I loved about the BOB). Great product. Well done Baby Jogger. :)

I have twin toddlers that want to be on the go. This stroller has saved me. They are comfortable resting, sleeping, sitting up and eating in it. The trays are a bit annoying to attach, however we also like that they detach. I also have a 4 year old and often need to steer one handed easily. This stroller does it all. I had the Combi side by side and too flimsy and not as easy to steer. Tried the Bob and loved it but too big and bulky.

I really like this double stroller. The canopy is great. It fits my newborn (reclined and lined with blankets) and my toddler. It's very easy to push and fold flat. The only cons are that it's heavy to lift up into an SUV and doesn't always stay flat when folded and standing on wheels.

I searched and searched (from when I was about four months pregnant and just purchased when newborn was two months!) for the perfect double stroller that would be 1) well priced 2) easy to use 3) stylish 4) practical and I've found it with the City Mini Double! I have a single Bob jogging stroller that I love and thought I wanted the double version because I use my single for everything! It's a reasonable size, not too heavy and is a dream to push. We hike / walk a lot and it's perfect for that type of exercise. Unfortunately the Bob double is huge and doesn't do a lot of the practical things I need (easily in and out of the car is a big one) so I kept looking. I thought I wanted the Baby Jogger City Select stroller (new this year) but after seeing it in a boutique I decided it had too many cons a lot of review aren't mentioning. (not necessary to discuss here).I landed on the City Mini after seeing and test driving a friends stroller. The first thing that I noticed was how easy it opens and closes. I also LOVED the sun shades! The price is reasonable at [$] - the stroller doesn't include anything which is a bummer but it's worth it regardless. I bought the parent console and may buy a second one and decided not to get the Chicco infant adaptor because I didn't want to spend the extra money for just a few more months of needing the infant seat. Both kids (2 year old and a 2 month old) are very comfortable in it. I purchased an infant pillow for additional support and it's perfect. The near flat recline is great for the baby. It pushes so easily and can be moved with one hand with both kids inside! The sun shades are GREAT, probably the best on the market. Now that we're using and enjoying it (our first major outing was the Zoo) I only have a few concerns. I wish the under storage was more accessible. It's a large section but hard to get to, especially with my newborn's seat reclined. I have to reach in from the side to get to anything and my diaper bag doesn't fit.…

I did extensive research on side-by-side and front-back strollers. This one has lived up to all my criteria. My son started sitting in it at 1 month (reclined) and my 2 yr old daughter loves it. She banned her single stroller last summer and has decided she loves this one! I'm small and it's easy to open/close and extremely sturdy. Unfortunately not compatible with Chicco car seat, but that's for such a short time frame I got over it.

Great buy, I looked far and wide for a double that would not make me want to pull my hair out! This one is easy to set up, and put away. [...] My 3.5 year old loves pulling the visor down and having his own little hideaway! I just lay my 2.5 month old in the seat rather then buying the attachment, works perfect.

I can't rave enough about this stroller! We have a 3 year old and twin 10 month olds. We purchased this product so we could more easily run errands with kids in tow... and we've never looked back. My favorite things about it... It folds VERY easily and relatively compactly, it has enormous sun shades, reclines fully and easily, steers one handed, has an easily accessable foot brake, and it looks great, too! My only small gripes are that it doesn't have any mechanism to lock the stroller when folded, doesn't have a cup holder/parent console, and has a small and hard to access basket. Do not let these minor issues keep you from this awesome stroller. You won't be disappointed. [...]

I was confused which stroller to buy after Snap N Go Double. My back was hurting from strolling twin boys around (since they were outgrowing the Snap N Go) and need something that was lightweight, easy to stroll, durable, easy to fold up and most of all easy to take mall shopping. I tried a few different styles and none seemed as easy to push around except for the City Mini Double (in the plastic wheel catergory). I do have a jogging stroller, but its very heavy when you're in and out of the car all the time. Since I started using the CMD my back pain did stop and the boys seem comfortable. If there was one improvement . . . it would be to have a bigger slot (space) so I didn't have to squeeze my diaper bag in the bottom storage area. The storage area is big, its just getting the bag in the space. Also, I would get the caddy to hold keys, cell phone and cup holder.

I am about to have our second child and have an 18 month old at home. I've been researching double strollers for some time now, and being that there aren't very many retailers that carry an array of double strollers have relied heavily on online reviews. This stroller had garnered outstanding reviews and for good reason. The positive:-Maneuvers like a dream-As compact as can be for a double stroller-Sturdy (unlike the Peg Perego we looked at that struck me to be more appropriate for a childs toy)-Easy folding mechanism-Versatile: I like that it can be used as a jogger (the front wheel can lock) and both seats fully recline independantly (unlike the city micro that we concidered)-can stand independantly in folded position (unlike the peg perego that in theory is supposed to stand but in demonstration did so maybe 25% of the time) This seems like a wierd requirement, but I often fold the stroller next to the car then have to move some things around the trunk in order to get it in; its much easier on your back to pick up a standing stroller than bend down and lift it up.The negative:-car seat compatability: we have a Chicco keyfit system and in my research I failed to realize that this car seat adapter does not fit the chicco carrier. We bought it not knowing this fact, only to find out that the company will possibly be putting out another adapter that is Chicco compatable in the coming months: a little too late for us. [...]. When looking at the Peg Perego at a local retailer, I was told that it too was incompatable with the chicco but that you could "get away with" using the two and in fact a trial did work (we brought in our carrier when testing out the Peg) I may go ahead and assemble the adapter and give it a try with our carrier then update this review with the results. -a little heavy: I'm 5'2 and 100ibs so any double stroller is a bit cumbersome and heavy for me, but doable. I was really looking at the city micro for this reason, esp since it cost…

Ok, this is my fourth stroller. Here is why it is my favorite so far: - so easy to manouvre - very smooth ride. Can be managed with one hand. - not too heavy/bulky.Fitted into all doorways encountered in new york city. - my 8 month old and 2 year old are equally comfortable in it. Full recline present to facilitate snoozing! Minor gripe: under seat storage is quite difficult to access - only from the side.
