Pull to Fold

Very good but posture is an issue

Review Date: August 29, 2010

Reviewer: Persnickety one, Buffalo, NY

There are a number of positives to this stroller:

+ Compact (it fits in the back of my Mini Clubman with the rear wheels popped off)
+ Ease of folding (just pull the strap)
+ Ease of removing the wheels (one button)
+ Big canopy
+ Large windows in the canopy
+ Tall handle (easier on my back than the Graco we have)
+ Good ride (not close to the ride of the old English pram we used when she was young, but better than the Graco)
+ Accessories (we have Baby Jogger Child Tray, there are others available)
+ Weight
+ Turns on a dime
+ Easy reclining (one hand)

Some things that are adequate:
= Decent storage space (not fantastic, no hanging bags from it)
= Wheels size (could be bigger but not a big problem)
= Wheel construction (solid EVA, inflatables would be a positive upgrade)
= Reclined position (goes almost flat)

And only a few negatives
- Five point harness is overly restrictive for a walking stroller (and this is definitely a walking stroller not a jogging stroller). The harness also makes it
- Hard to sit up in

The reason I am taking one star off is that our nine month old daughter (who has exemplary posture in the Graco) just can't sit up straight in this. I worry that her slouching could become a bad habit. We have reconfigured the five point strap to act like a lap belt so she can sit up, but she almost always ends up with her back bent in a position that would give me a back ache. We have taken her on long walks in the Graco and she is fine. On long walks in this she fusses after about a mile and a half. Since providing a seat is one of the core attributes of a stroller, it is worth noting. We mostly use the Graco around the neighborhood even though it is clunkier just because she is more comfortable.

not quite right....

After reading so many stellar reviews, and receiving a strong recommendation by a sales clerk at a local baby store, we ordered a 2010 Baby Jogger City Mini (single) in Crimson/Grey. Upon arrival, we were pleased with the fabric construction and its smooth ride. Now we have owned it a week, and here are the downsides:
(1) The front wheel broke (stopped working correctly) within 5 uses. The issue is that the lock/swivel mechanism is flimsy, and it falls into locked position when you don't want it to. This basically eliminates the smooth maneuverability of this stroller, and I would simply NEVER use it in a permanently locked position. We are waiting for a replacement front tire (backordered for at least a month). The temporary fix suggested by BJ customer service was to duct-tape a penny over the locking pin so it doesn't engage. We've found that a large 1/2" metal washer works better; however, with either of these temporary-fixes, you have to be prepared for the front wheel falling off every time you fold the stroller (in parking lots, on the sidewalk, while your baby's in one arm or waiting in the car).
(2) Not great for tall parents, but it's better than many strollers. I'm 5'9", husband is 6'1"-- I occasionally kick the back wheel bar, unless my arms are fully extended in front. On this note, my husband doesn't like that the handle curves so that you have to bring your arms more toward the center of your body to grasp it.

Overall, it might be a quality product for someone out there, but so far, it's a bit of a let-down like most of these ridiculous consumer-experiences we face.

Cannot say enough good things about this stroller!

Reviewer: LKHawes,

I've never reviewed anything but fel like this stroller deserved it! I cannot say enough good things about this stroller! It is unbelievably easy to use and extremely light weight while still feeling sturdy. It's so convinient being able to just lift up on the strap in the seat to fold it up. There have been so many hot days when I have taken my baby out of the stoller and put her in the car and was so glad that the stroller folded up so fast so that she didn't have to sit in the hot car and wait for more than a second while I packe it up. I also really love the way that it turns so sharply. It definitely comes in handy when navigating through small areas that aren't necessarily accomodating for stollers. It has made being a first time mom a little bit easier!

Love this stroller!

I considered many other similar strollers and am thrilled with this choice. It works great for city walks (smooth and broken sidewalks) and park walks (including over trails with tree roots sticking out). It is light and very easy to maneuver - I can steer it very easily with one hand (on smooth surfaces). The folding system is amazingly easy and smart. Easy to open up with one hand (though I use two hands to get it in and out of the trunk of the car). The sun shade is great and I like the little windows so I can look in and see how my daughter is doing. There is a storage pocket on the back I use for odds-n-ends. The storage on the bottom is fine as long as I don't try to put a large diaper bag in it. With a small diaper bag I am able to also fit other items (the other day I had a small diaper bag, extra blanket, two pints of blueberries and a bag of green beans, and had room for more if I needed it).

I was worried that this might not go over the bark dust paths in our favorite park or over the trail through the woods that we like. It handles both great. I also like that it can be used from infancy up. We used it with our daughter starting at 8lbs (had to tighten the straps up ALL the way they could go). She is secure and comfortable when in it.

Front wheel broke - no replacement available for two months

Review Date: July 26, 2010

Reviewer: MS,

I used the stroller for 13 months when one of the front wheels fell off - the wheel bearing broke. When I called the company to order replacement they told me they will not have any replacement wheels available for next two months. I guess they think I should sit with my daughter at home for two months while we are waiting for the part. Seems like I will be buying a new stroller, it will definitely not be a Baby Jogger!
