Baby Jogger City Mini

The City Mini is a full-size stroller that doesn't stand out in any way except the fact that it's light and compact when folded. It also performs well across all categories, though it does not score as well as other strollers due to the poorly-placed window that peeks out and storage that's a bit restricted.

It is, however, a solid stroller and one of our top choices for families that require something that can take them through everyday use and even occasional adventures. It comes with a wide footrest that is cushioned. This makes it a comfortable stroller for children. The seat reclines quite flat however it took us two hands to achieve. The adjustable calf supports are an excellent feature that will allow your child's feet to kick up when they're tired.

Like the other strollers on our list like the City Mini, the City Mini has a huge canopy that is UV50 and that parents rave about. The sun shade is well designed and pulls all the way down, which is great because it will keep your child completely safe from the sun without having to constantly put it back into the right spot.

Another fantastic aspect of the City Mini is that it is able to be converted into a double stroller by simply attaching an accessory kit. You can use any Baby Jogger car-seat and create a travel system from the beginning. The only issue is that the addition of the second seat alters the appearance and feel of the stroller and some parents may be a bit hesitant to handle once they get used to it.

Another option to the City Mini is the City Mini GT Double Stroller. This model is slightly pricier than the single City Mini, but it includes additional features including "forever-air" rubber tyres. It also comes with suspension that makes it suitable for off-road excursions. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a hand-operated parking brake that makes it more user-friendly than the regular City Mini.
