Top Baby Stroller **REVIEW** Baby Jogger City Mini

[@marstarsxxiii]

This was extremely helpful! I spent hours trying to decide on a stroller. I came across this video and keept an open mind, finally I went to babies r us tested a few out and although I didn't want to spend that much I purchased the city mini. Its not as big and bulky as the other 3 wheeler strollers, it weighs allot less and rides smooth! Thanks for your review it helped allot and I'm excited for my 7 month old son to grow with this stroller.

[@ErinGrieger]

No problem! I'm glad I could help. Our oldest is now 3 and we still use it for her and she loves it. We did get the food tray instead of the belly bar. So that's another option in case your daughter would want some snacks. And then she can put her foot up on that too! Enjoy :-)

[@dianehart1069]

Great video! I will be buying this stroller for our baby. You touched on all of the points that were important to my husband and I. Thank you!

[@ratumia]

Hi again Erin, I finally bought my City Mini! Loved it too much that I posted a video of it on my channel to share with other mums out there too. Thanks again for all your help. I really love how huge the canopy is and how easy it was to fold :D

[@anon212ny]

This is a very informative video. My wife and I were struggling to find something that would fit our lifestyle and we're definitely going to check this one out! thanks for the vid!!!

[@mattburnsey]

Great video! We decided on this stroller for our upcoming baby. The one thing nobody mentioned was that the bottom storage mesh could detach so you could fit your larger bags there. Everyone else said it wasn't possible. Thanks for the great review!

[@ErinGrieger]

GREAT question! You can leave it on when you fold it up. Now it does "stick out" when you fold it up, but it still fits in the trunk with it on/attached. If you need more space you can take it off. It is really easy to come off and on. And once you have it set in the right place you don't have to mess with that part again.

Hiya, been using it now with Baby Serena for 3 months and just thinking its the best! Been on holiday and it was perfect with the shade, used it in rain (london weather) and still perfect. Husband really chuffed its so light and easy to fold too! thanks again for your review! take care, Bridge x

[@jessicaromito2886]

Best KZbin review of the city mini 2011! Thanks so much for all the tips! I just purchased a used one off of eBay for an upcoming trip.

[@ErinGrieger]

Jessica Romito Glad it helped Jessica!

[@danniBBRR]

It sounds really good. All the reviews I look up about this stroller are positive.I may go for it

[@Ryancuasay]

I like the stroller feature that has like a sun roof on it hehe. I never thought choosing a stroller would be this complicated. Thanks for this video Erin.

[@amberfarhat]

Definitely considering this stroller thanks to your informative video! Just wanted to say thanks!

[@ErinGrieger]

Hey! That's a great question. Unfortunately we don't have a bus system we use where we live so I can't answer that. With this one you can lock the front wheels so that will help when going over a curb. I've found it to be very stable! Hope this helps!

[@ErinGrieger]

YEAH! That makes so me so happy that I could help you out :-) Enjoy it!!

[@ErinGrieger]

So glad it helped you out!! Enjoy!

[@strangedriedbus]

Hi Erin, thanks for your video, I have been looking at soooo many strollers here in the UK and Im now weighing up this one or the Maclaren XT because they both are suitable from newborn, no risks of punctures and they are LIGHTWEIGHT with no extra costing Cots to put on! But I must say this one is nicer than the Maclaren! I love the look of the purple... thanks again! Bridget x

[@ErinGrieger]

No problem! I'm glad it's working out for you :-) Enjoy!!!

[@johnsonsm25]

Thanks for the video...seriously looking at this mainly because of the 3 wheels, lightness in weight, use with car seat & full rotation sun shade :)

[@strangedriedbus]

Just got the Baby Jogger, Pushing it round the house and Loving it! Just need to wait till the baby is born now.... hehe thanks for your help :)

[@ratumia]

thanks for the review!! am contemplating to get this or valco baby snap for my 16-month daughter. our previous stroller gave us one too many hazoudous surprises so this time round am looking a sturdy, top quality stroller that can last til she's 3! i love the one hand easy fold coz I usually go out alone so that is really handy. I may need the bumper bar though, coz my daughter loves to put her feet up. Am so getting this, thanks Erin :)

[@ErinGrieger]

Thank you so much Diane! You'll love it!! Enjoy! Are you on FB too? If so, come find me!

[@ErinGrieger]

That's GREAT!!! I checked it out, nice job!!! So glad you like it!

[@ErinGrieger]

No problem! Glad it could help you out! Is this your first baby?

[@ErinGrieger]

I know crazy the amount of choices/options huh? Good luck in your choosing!

[@ErinGrieger]

Hey Diana! Thanks for your comment! Congrats on your pregnancy!!! YES you can use it from birth. We did. However, you MUST use the car seat with it. We bought the car seat adapter from Baby Jogger for our Graco Snug Ride car seat & it worked great. Then as your baby gets older you can decide not to use the car seat if you want. Does that help?

[@ErinGrieger]

Hey Franklylang! So glad you liked the video! We haven't gotten the glider board yet either :-( If I see another video that you need about the glider, I'll let you know!

[@ErinGrieger]

NO problem!!! Glad you're enjoying it! Make sure you let me know when your baby is born :-)

[@ErinGrieger]

Thanks Jay! Unfortunately you do have to buy the car seat attachment bar separately :-( I think it was about $60. You can either get it through Baby Jogger or Babies R us. Good luck and keep me posted!

[@ErinGrieger]

Glad you found it helpful!!

[@ErinGrieger]

YES! The car seat did NOT come with the stroller. We bought the Graco Snugride. However there are many different car seats that will work with this stroller. You just have to check it out on the Baby Jogger website.

[@jlwwheats25]

Thanks for your video. It was very helpful. There are so many stroller options and I want to find one that is right for us. Would this be a good stroller to jog with?

[@ErinGrieger]

Hi!! That's a good question. We live in OH, so we do get snow, but I don't know if I've ever tried to push it in snow. The tires don't have a lot of "tread." Maybe you'll want one with more tread, like a Jeep? I guess it depends on how much snow. Sorry I can't give you a better answer :-(

[@ErinGrieger]

Thanks! Hope it helped!

[@ErinGrieger]

@sarutorusa HI! I haven't had an issue with the tires being too soft. I've run with the stroller, taken it to the park, store, zoo, and many other places. The tires are a hard plastic. And I haven't had an issue with the shocks at all. If you're just going to take the stroller to everyday type of places, I think the tires/shocks on the city mini would be just fine! Good luck!

[@ErinGrieger]

That's a great question! Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that :-(

[@dianahermosa1414]

hi Erin, I'm due on May next year but as early as now im already browsing for buggies and so far i really like the baby jogger mini. I enjoyed your video and I think it is very helpful. My only concern is if I can use it from birth and im saying from the hospital to the house and what not. If you could help me with this it would be great! thanks in advance and take care! :)

[@ChattyHousewife]

We just bought this and I am wondering if you really un-attach and reattach those grey straps every single time? They didn't show us that where we bought it, and haven't taken ours out of the box yet to experiment with it. Also, thanks for the great tip about unsnapping the storage basket, probably wouldn't have thought to do that and someday it will come in handy for large purchases in a mall or carrying friends jackets etc.

[@ErinGrieger]

Thanks! I hope it helped you!

[@ErinGrieger]

@ChattyHousewife GREAT question!! No I don't fasten them every time. I did send you a message though with more info! Talk to you soon.

[@montsemck3183]

Great video!

[@Cosunshinny]

Thanks a lot!!! It's really helpful video! :D

[@adagemjord]

Nice review!

[@BenStrano]

Do you have to take the car seat adapter off every time you fold it up or does it stay on when folded and stored?

[@ErinGrieger]

Thanks!

[@toxykk]

Great video!,,

[@ErinGrieger]

@PandilleraAK47 You're right it is!! When I shot this video we weren't using the diaper bag anymore, so I didn't fill it just to shoot the video. But I will tell you we did use the bottom compartment with that diaper bag when it was full!

[@sarutorusa]

Hi, Erin I'm from Japan, I'm having a baby soon. I'm trying find the stroller. My choise is Baby Jogger!! But I haven't decided yet between city mini and elite. I wanna go outdoor with my baby so, I like the elite, but my wife wont more light one. However, I'm afraid　the tires are how soft and shocks in case of city mini . If you give me some advice, I'm happy with it.

[@Xmandiii]

Hello, I am just wondering if you know how this stroller would do in snow? I want to get this stroller but I live in canada and we get a lot of snow. So I need something that will be able to handle a bit of snow on the ground.

[@anewequinox]

can you change the wheels for the air ones, if you wanted to?

[@jacquelinefowler5268]

What year or model is the stroller that you showed? Thanks! :)

[@ErinGrieger]

Jacqueline Fowler We got the City Mini in 2009

[@ErinGrieger]

I'm sorry. Which bassinet are you talking about? Did you mean the infant seat? I showed the infant seat around min 1.

[@ErinGrieger]

@mattburnsey No problem! Glad you liked the video. Let me know how the stroller works out for you! When is your baby due?

[@mskrisj24]

Nice

[@mvsaradhi]

is the infant seat extra?

[@ErinGrieger]

@jlwwheats25 No problem! Glad it helped. I sent you a message with more info, but yes, I do run/jog with mine!

[@ErinGrieger]

@jig1056 Thanks! I'm glad it helped :-)

[@ErinGrieger]

@dhakirahjami Thanks!!! Do you have young kids?

[@ErinGrieger]

@danniBBRR I don't think you'll be sorry in the least! But always check the return policy just in case. That way you could get it and try it. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

[@ErinGrieger]

@strangedriedbus No problem! I hope it helps you out. Let me know which one you end up going with! I haven't heard of the Maclaren XT before.

[@9667sravs]

how much did u pay

[@sumairadaud]

did u say snuggleride?

[@ErinGrieger]

About $220 from Babies R us

[@ErinGrieger]

No problem! I hope it does help. Our oldest is now 3, she still uses it occasionally, but we're using it more with our 5 month old. I still love it and get tons of compliments on it. If you'd like to talk more please feel free to email me [e-mail] or send me a friend request on facebook - Erin Myers Grieger

[@daniellewilliams4543]

does stroller get hot on hot days

[@ErinGrieger]

danielle Williams Sorry just saw your comment. We had one when we were at Disney and my daughter did fine. She got warm but I think you'll have that when you're in warm places :-)

[@AxelYvnNewYork2K10]

But your diaper bag is empty...
