Purchase Baby Jogger City Mini Jogging Strollers - Green-Grey

We own the City Mini Baby Jogger in Green. It was our first stroller, and we bought it partially because it was compatible with the Graco carseat. We have since purchased the Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame, because the Graco carseat fits much more securely into that. The optional carseat adapter allows you to rest your carseat on the stroller, but it doesn't snap in and doesn't feel all that secure. I would recommend this stroller for older babies who do not need a carseat adapter. On the other hand, this stroller is one of those that you can use pretty early on, because the straps can be adjusted fairly tight. As soon as your baby can hold his head steady, he can use the stroller itself. My baby used it at 3 and a half months.

It is not a bad stroller, especially for the price, compared to some of the more expensive brands like Peg Perego and Bugaboo. It has a lot of style, visually. It has a lot of optional accessories, like a cooler, a drink/snack tray, and a rain cover.

One of its best features is that it folds up easily. You just pull one strap and it folds up, like that. However, it doesn't lock into its folded-up state - and can just as easily unfold. This can make it slightly more annoying if you are carrying it or storing it. Update: Thanks to an Amazon comment, I have learned that you CAN lock it in place.

There is a variety of storage space - a narrow space on the back of the stroller, and a bigger area underneath. The area underneath isn't big enough for our diaper bag though - because you really have to squeeze your item into the space. It's more appropriate for a number of small items than for one big item. For example, I can put my umbrella, purse, and a small diaper caddy down there. I cannot squeeze, as I mentioned, the bulky diaper bag. Nor does the handlebar lend itself to slinging a diaper bag. So, it's not the best stroller for the farmer's market.

I have compared it with the BOB Revolution Stroller in Mesa Orange, and the Bob is easier to steer. You cannot steer the city mini one-handed. Also, the Bob is more of a true all-terrain stroller, whereas the City Mini probably needs to stay in the city. This stroller is not appropriate for jogging, despite the name. Not a criticism - just a headsup for buyers. I don't really jog - I do find this stroller a bit difficult to steer. Update: My nanny did say she found it easy to maneuver and liked it quite a bit.
