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.

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 :-)

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!

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.

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!

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

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 :)

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?

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.

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 :-(

@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!

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! :)

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.

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.
