 THE LOWDOWN - WHY THIS STROLLER IS THE BEST |

| Being patient and methodical, my wife and I shopped far and wide for the optimal double stroller, and tested many. This City Mini stroller was the clear choice. We then used it at the best test site going, ten full days at Walt Disney World parks. Here are the pluses; The stroller folds remarkably easily, pull one openly available strap in the seats, and bingo, done, folded nearly flat. Further, you can very easily release and remove the wheels, and then the stroller folds virtually totally flat. This stroller is not heavy like most doubles, yet it is built quite solidly. It pushes and turns at a feathers touch. From a standing point, you can make a 180 degree turn smoothely, with no resistance. The wheels are big enough for a smoothe ride, but not so big that they get in the way, especially when folding the stroller. The seats recline very simply, and the versatile hood provides as much sun block as desired. It also can create a very secure protected space for kids to lounge in. And the seats are set, that it is difficult for the kids to truly bother each other. Get the safety bar accessory, kids love it, and it reduces the need to buckle them in every time you put them in the stroller. There's also a three cup holder accessory that's useful. There is only ONE flaw with this stroller, the storage under the seat is difficult to access. It was too small in the older units, but they recently fixed that. Yet, while it may be bigger, and is a reasonable amount of space, the frame structure of the stroller leaves only narrow openings to get stuff into the storage area. So, you cant store large bags down there, you have to use small bags, and or store stuff loose. We found one resolve, is to hang stuff off the handle bar with a huge quick link ("mommy clip"), even though the manufacturer says not to do this. Oh ya, if you actually want to jog with a stroller, then get the City Elite, which is significantly heavier, and doesn't fold so well, but the wheels are much bigger, allowing you to truly jog. So there you have it. All said and done, this stroller is THE number one best you can find. Expensive, but worth it. |

| I've only had it a couple of weeks but I am loving this stroller. For a double it is relatively small. It is quite maneuverable. I was able to push both of my girls in it through the mall with one hand. It's easy to fold up. Exactly what I was looking for. Note: don't expect this stroller to be a jogger. It is not. |
Love it!

| I did much research before purchasing a double stroller and couldn't be happier. It is easy to use, has the best sunshades I've ever seen and folds easily. My children are 3 years and 14 months and are very comfortable riding in this stroller. My one complaint is the lack of compatibility with the Chicco infant carrier. With the popularity of this car seat I believe that Baby Jogger is really missing the boat. |
Love The Stroller!

Hi I just got the City Mini Double and I really love this stroller. I have been know to have at the most 5 strollers at a given time. Since buying this double stroller, I have gotten rid of all the others. This stroller is amazing. I have a two year old and 5 month old and this is the best stroller for this age range. The shades are great, they cover the kids just enough. The stroller took me about 10 minutes to put it together and the best thing it fits right through our standard hallway in our house.
I also want to add that I had contacted Baby Jogger customer service and they were so nice and helpful. I had questions about the accessories that could be added to the stroller and they were quick to respond to let me know.
I love the fact that I won't have to buy another double stroller ever. Its easy to push, light to pick up and its just so comfy for our kids! This is a great stroller. We have added a few accessories: parent consoles, belly bar and two trays.
The only negative is that when its folded there is nothing to keep it in that position. But that can easily be fixed with some creativity, but for the price, I think something should be on it or be added to it (if they do come out with something). The accessories are a bit pricey and they could add some of the stuff to the stoller. The trays tip a bit and the belly bar sits pretty high but when the kids are older it will be nice.
Thanks for a great stroller and I can't wait to take it on vacation!

| We have purchased several strollers in the past. We have two sets of twins 4 years apart. This stroller fits great in the minivan. The ease of folding is wonderful, and weighs only about 20 pounds. I am very excited at the prospect of not having to purchase another stroller. The only drawback is that City Mini does not sell the stroller with ANY accessories. This did not cause us not to purchase, but having a spot to put a bottle of water or your keys is needed. As for the service, amazon once again sent the item quickly and efficiently. My boys love being in the stroller and the shade is great for the kids. Enjoy. |
Excellent Double Stroller

| I love this stroller and look forward to using it on a daily basis once my second child arrives! I purchased this stroller because two friends actually have it and love it. I tested out theirs and knew this one was it for me. It folds easily and is not bulky. I debated over this and a BOB or one that had more off road capability but in the end went with this one as I think it will be more practical on a day to day basis. Off roading I will have my husband with me so we will use the Bugaboo or other means if need be. I also love the green color. It's fresh and different. I am very pleased with it and so far my 2 year old loves climbing in to it. Hopefully that will be the case when her new sibling arrives! |
