Baby Jogger City Tour Stroller | Compact Travel Stroller | Lightweight Baby Stroller with Backpack-Style Carry Bag, Perfect for Travel, Juniper

Purchased this stroller for a trip to New York City and it worked perfectly! Let me start by saying it folds up small enough to easily get on and off of planes, busses, subway, and fits easily into the trunk of any uber! Folds easily and can be done with one hand...we used the stroller for about a week before going on vacation so we could get used to folding and unfolding the stroller. Folding is very easy...unfolding is a little cumbersome but can still be done pretty easily (my 10 year old was usually the one to fold and unfold the stroller). Pushes very easily!!! Can be pushed and turned with one hand and even with my 40lb child in the stroller it was a breeze to push! (At one point my ten year old climbed in the stroller with my 40lb two year old...i wouldnt recomend this...but it still was super easy to push). Stroller was narrow enough to fit through the tiniest of pizza places and packed stores in Time Square. Canopy comes down very far to completely block out sun and bad weather...in fact it comes down so far that my son often times lifted it up so that he could see better. I read many reviews before purchasing this and almost didnt purchase because many people stated it had a narrow seat that the child would slide out of..i have a big 2 year old so I was concerned about this...but had no problems with the seat...it does look narrow...but my son sat in it just fine and never seemed at risk of sliding out (even when throwing a number of temper tantrums and throwing his weight around). The five point harness seat belt was barely used because the pieces were hard to keep together...they come apart so you could choose to use a 3 or 5 point harness...but to use the 5 point you have to put the pieces together each time which can be difficult when you are trying to place a rambunctious two year old in the stroller...but the 3 point buckle worked just fine! The stroller back easily reclines and goes back up and my son slept in the stroller for hours at a time with no problem. Only downside in my opinion is that my son will likely grow out of this stroller very soon and he is only 2 years old (but like I said he is big for his age..he wears size 4T and is about 40lbs 38" in height) the stroller would be fine even if he was heavier, but length wise his feet were sitting on the foot rest and when stretched out sleeping his feet went beyond the foot rest ( I attached a picture so you could see how he fits lengthwise), but I guess this stroller wouldnt be as compact or light weight if it was made to fit older taller children. Also im not sure if they have a child snack trey that is compatable with this stroller...but if they do that would have come in very handy! I would definitely recomend this stroller for traveling!!! I used the back pack to carry it at the start of our trip but soon realized it was even easier to just fold and carry by the strap that you pull on to fold the stroller. If needing to carry the stroller for a long period of time the backpack is great...but for getting on and off busses...lifting it by the folding strap was easiest because once you fold it there is a little lever that keeps it locked in that position...so you can just grab the strap and carry it without having to worry about it unfolding! Stroller was very light and compact...even my 10 year old carried the stroller with no problem! I would definitely recomend this stroller...especially for traveling!

Let me lead off by saying that as a guy, I was fairly unhappy with some of the strollers that my wife loves (we have 3, a Britax B-ready, Britax b-agile and a little umbrella stroller) as our son grew older. I found that as our son reached the 2 year mark (he is 2 1/2 has I write this review), the Britax strollers were so big, that we rarely used them. They are great strollers that generally sat in the garage or the back of the SUV while we carried my son or let him walk and held his hand on 90% of the things we did. As far as the little umbrella stroller, if she would let me I would break that thing over my knee and put it in the trash. After using it for 10 minutes, my back hurts from hunching over to reach the handles and I'm at my breaking point because my feet kick the back of it when I walk.Enter this little jewel. This things collapses so small I can put it in the back of my Jeep Wrangler (2 door) no problem. I am just over 6 feet tall and the handles come up to a perfect height and a good distance from the back of the stroller, so I don't have to hunch over and my fee don't kick the back while walking. And despite the great height/distance ration, it folds down so small, its practically magic. You do need two hands to unfold it, but, like I said, I'm not holding a 3 month old baby, I just sit my 2 year old down, unfold it and tell him to jump in. Its not like you have to lay him on the ground. He climbs right in, he loves it! In fact, when the box arrived from Amazon, my wife and I were wondering what it was, we never imagined this could fit in a box so small. We pulled it out, popped on the wheels and I was pushing my son around in about 10 minutes. We have only had it for a few weeks, but we already use it all the time, (and one of the Britax is already in the attic). By the way, another reason I chose this is because you can buy adapters so that Britax car seats can clip in (but realize that with a child small enough that you need to move them from car to stroller in a car seat the 2 hand requirement might not be optimal). To sum it up, I know for certain if you are a guy or woman, you will appreciate the unpacked size vs folded compactness of this stroller. Save the luxury Britax type strollers for the all day events at a amusement park or the zoo, but this one, you will use day-to-day and week after week.
