Baby Jogger City Elite stroller (2012) - Reviews

Comments:

This stroller is great. It folds easily and has lovely features. I was excited to get it and it didn't disappoint. A few things we have had problems with: when you fold it it rests on the handle bar which is nasty. We live in NYC and don't want the part we are touching all the time to be resting on the ground. Second, the storage basket is small and hard to get stuff in and out of. Third, the restraint system sucks. I have tightened the straps as tight as they go and they still don't fit our eleven month old. Maybe we are doing something wrong. Last, the baby is always somewhat slouched and laying back even when the seat is pulled up as far as it goes Overall the stroller is great. It moves so well and the sun canopy is so wonderful and the flaps that allow you to see the baby are wonderful. The tires just pop right off. Pretty cool.

I needed an all-terrain stroller - good for shopping and for bumpy surfaces when on long walks. I agonized over the options for a couple of months, before deciding on the City Elite. I've been using it for just two weeks, but I'm already in love with this stroller and my 11 month old baby girl seems to love it too! It's a cinch to assemble, folds with one hand, has a generous canopy, plenty of room to stow blankets and other baby paraphernalia. The ride is so smooth, it practically drives itself. I live in super hilly San Francisco, so the wrist band is a nice touch; gives me confidence going down those steep hills. Only a couple of gripes... Firstly, it is quite heavy, but not a big deal to get it in and out the trunk of the car. Secondly, even on the shortest length, the harness system seems to swamp my 18 lb, 28" baby. Overall though, I'm extremely happy.

After a long search online and then going to stores and actually looking at the strollers my husband and I ended up ordering the City Elite stroller. It is so easy to fold/unfold (with one hand), its stirdy, easy to manuever also with one hand, storage is great, canopy can be opened to block all the sun you need and the thing that I was looking for the most is that you can lift up the feet and put the back down in an almost flat position. That feature is great for babies and toddlers that sleep during walks. The only cons are that the back doesnt go up all the way to an upright position so your child is sort of sitting in a lounge chair, but that can be fixed by ordering the tray which lets them hold on to it. This is my 4th stroller and my search definetly ends here!!!

I love this stroller!!!! It's easy to steer, folding is a snap, hood covers more of the baby than other strollers.

My wife and I did a lot of research on strollers and it came down to this or the BOB. We chose the Baby Jogger City Elite because of the easy fold technology. You literally use one hand and pull on the lift strap and the stroller folds up. It is great. The stroller is easy to setup out the box (took me 5 to 10 mins) and is sturdy and easy to control. The canopy (sun shade) is the best in the business and covers our daughter fully. I really enjoy that the stroller reclines to almost 180 degrees so our daughter can sleep while we are walking around. There is plenty of storage space and the parent console is nice (although it's not made to hold your drinks). The only cons are the price and that it's heavy, but overall we are very happy. I would buy this stroller again and again. Very happy.

After looking at all these similar three-wheel strollers, I decided on the Baby Jogger City Elite mainly because of the quick-fold because this is my main stroller that I need to fold and unfold every day. You just lift the strap and the stroller folds itself up. No other three-wheel stroller I tried had as easy a fold. The City Elite stroller is smooth and easy to push because it has real tires, not plastic ones. My baby is 8 months old and loves being pushed in it. The basket is ok, and none of these type of strollers have great baskets but I'd still like a bigger one. So that's my one complaint. I got handlebar hooks that let me hang my diaper bag from the handlebar which leaves more room in the basket. Other than that, I really love the City Elite and would buy it again.
