All in one GREAT stroller! Love the new features!!
November 4, 2019
I did received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel however I loved the overall design and look of the new City Mini GT2 Stroller. I felt it was sleek, and sophisticated and it did not feel overly bulky. I am familiar a bit with the Baby jogger products from using some in passing before and I have to say the new stroller feels like a great improvement on the old model. The stroller and car seat travel system was easy to use and install. I had to transport a full car load of 2 kiddos and a dog in my SUV which resulted in me having to pack up the stroller and fit it along with everything else and it was great to be able to use the one hand fold feature. It fit easily in my SUV as well and I didn't feel overwhelmed with packing it up and making sure everything fit. The car seat snaps in easily with the stroller but the only downside was I felt like the attachments to use with the car seat went a little too much into the seat if you were switching between using it with the car seat and then without with an slightly older kiddo. If you are looking for a stroller that does it all, but is smaller than some of the travel systems on the market I highly suggest this one. I would travel with this in the future no problem solo or not. I love the new feature on this model stroller with the leg stand coming up, it also makes it easier to place things inside the lower basket. The basket is smaller than others, but I was not affected by that as much as I thought I would have been.

Superior Travel System!
November 4, 2019
I absolutely love the design of this. I like to think my personal style is simple and chic and this goes perfect with everything. It was easy for my to install the car seat on my own with and without the base, which I liked since we often go into NYC and I have to use the car seat in a taxi. After I installed the adapters with the stroller, the car seat clicked right in, with no fuss. Super simple and easy to use. I cannot say enough great things about the car seat and the stroller as the car seat is roomy and easy to adjust. My little girl's head will not be bumped trying to take her in and out, and the back of the car seat is flat and not curved. I love this! Everything that I could have asked for in a car seat. I love the smooth ride from the stroller as well. The rebound bar on the base for the car seat helps put my mind at ease and feel extra safe with my baby in the car. I did receive this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but I could not be happier. I found the perfect fit all around for my little girl!!

Great for multi-kid families - infants to toddlers
November 4, 2019
Here is a bullet list of pros and cons of the Baby Jogger City Mini 2 Stroller 2019 for me; read on afterwards for a more in-depth review. Pros: - Lightweight - Easy to collapse - folds totally flat to fit in a small car - Fits with multiple brands of car seats - Lots of storage underneath - Adjustable seat for sitting or reclining - Great for various types of terrain- Adjusts quickly for various kids of different ages Cons: - All accessories cost extra (not even a cup holder included) - Car seat is on the heavy side - Car seat base takes up a lot of space in the car Oh, the Baby Jogger City Mini 2 Stroller. First of all, the box that it arrives in is HUGE and heavy! I was so intimidated that I waited a week to open it - surely it was going to be a behemoth and take me an entire day to assemble, right? Luckily when I finally did get the courage to open it up, I realized that it was actually two separate boxes within the big box - one containing the car seat and base, and the other containing the stroller and car seat adapter. The stroller box was smaller and lighter so I started there. I pulled out the pieces and found the instructions, along with information on how to register the product and how to purchase extras for the stroller (like a tray. Wait, that's extra? We will talk about that later). Again I was intimidated to see that there were about 40 steps in the assembly process and was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish during my 4 month old's nap. Imagine my surprise when I easily got through the entire assembly in less than 10 minutes! And that was even with my 2 year old "helping." The first thing I noticed was just how light the stroller is! There is a string you pull on the seat to fold it up, which I easily did with one hand while carrying my toddler in my other arm. It folded completely flat and we were easily able to navigate out of our very messy house and into the (snowy) street. The stroller was very easy to load up with supplies as the basket underneath is made of stretchy mesh fabric and can hold a lot more than you would think. As I mentioned before, there is no tray for the kid or cup holder for the adult, so that is a con in my book because I don't like to have to keep stopping to bend over for "little things" like my water bottle. It also became an issue when I stopped for coffee on our walk and didn't have anywhere to put my drink during the walk! Yes, you can buy an attachment for this, but at this price point I would have hoped it would be included. Now, on to maneuverability - this stroller is fantastic for any and all terrain! My kids (especially the baby) are VERY sensitive to bumps during walks which has made our walks very difficult especially now that there is snow and ice on the ground. I have gotten used to walking very slowly and picking up the stroller to avoid any discomfort for my babes. With this stroller, however, I can go full steam ahead and the littlies don't complain at all! We even strolled through a muddy gravel road with no problems. The stroller did get a bit muddy but was easy to wipe off with a baby wipe. Now on to the car seat - the base was larger than I expected but really easy to install. It clicks right into the LATCH system in the car and then you tighten the seatbelt-like strap in the base to secure it. I couldn't get it tight enough on my own the first time and had to call in my husband to help. We ended up buying a second base for our other car and I was able to do that one by myself by sitting on top of the base as I pulled the belt to tighten.  The car seat itself is great and I love that it can be used by my 3 month old or 2 year old (with some adjustment of course). The seat is heavy so although it is meant to be portable, I mostly just leave it in the car because the weight of it plus my ginormous children is too much for me. It would probably be good for carrying around an infant under three months, though. It is also great that I can just take the baby out of the car and pop her into the stroller without having to wake or move her.  All in all, I would give this a 4.5 of 5 stars. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

This has everything!
November 4, 2019
seriously, what's not to like? This travel system checks all of the boxes. The car seat not only looks sleek but is so easy to use. First off, I LOVE having the sliding harness adjustment, there's nothing worse than wrestling with a car seat to adjust everything. And speaking of easy, it's quick and painless to install into the car, whether or not I'm using the included base. Right now we have 3 car seats in a row (2 forward facing convertibles plus this infant one) and everything fits just fine. As for the stroller, my 6'1" husband loves the height and the feel of the rubberized handle. I'm 5'4" and I like the handle height too, so it's not just for taller people! We like that the wheel lock is in the center...we always know where to find it that way. When we went to Disneyland we used the oversized canopy to block the sun, reclined the seat all the way, and raised the foot rest so the littles could use it as a nap surface. What a GENIUS design, it looked like a bed! Thank you Stellar product testing panel for gifting me this travel system.

Durable and Sleek Travel System
November 3, 2019
I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. First impressions, it's stylish, sleek, compact, durable, and luxurious. The handle bars on both the stroller and car seat are a nice rubbery grippy material that feels durable. The car seat has plush padding making it super comfortable for your little one and the contrast between its black and grey fabric give it a stylish look. My little one seemed very happy and content when using it. It is easy to install with or without a base. The option to install without a base makes it a great option for vacations or use in a grandparent's car! It attaches effortlessly to the stroller with two adaptors that simply slide and click in to the stroller frame. So, if your little one falls asleep in the car on your way to run errands no need to wake them to transfer them in to the stroller, you can simply click the car seat right in - so essential! What I really love on both the carseat and stroller is the massive sun shade. It is wide and long providing great coverage. We live in Florida, so this is a must! I have several other strollers and carseats and this is the best sun shade I have seen yet! Now to the stroller, it is substantial yet compact. The one hand fold is amazing and so simple - I was able to do it while baby wearing my infant. There's nothing worst than wrestling with a stroller to fold, so happy I won't have to worry about that with the City Mini GT2. Once folded, it is pretty small making it a great option for traveling or if you you need extra space in your trunk for groceries, etc. It unfolds easily too. You don't have to awkwardly grab the stroller or unlatch it, you simply pull the handlebars and it pops back up. All the components on the stroller feel sturdy and durable. There are multiple features which allow you to customize the seat to provide your child with optimal comfort these include: adjustable straps, options of recline/incline, and a pop up foot rest. I particularly like the foot rest, I own another stroller similar in design and it does not include this option. The harness is easy to put on and click into place. My toddler appeared very comfortable while riding in the stroller and had ample room for himself and some toys, always important! I love the double peekaboo windows, allowing me to easily check on my child and for him to see me too. The stroller is easy to maneuver and provides a smooth ride. The hand operated brake is a great feature. I like that I don't have to step on it as I've dealt with foot brakes jamming in the past. It is easy to use and makes it simple to control starting and stropping the stroller. A few suggestions on how it could be improved upon. The padding on the shoulder straps on the carseat were pretty thin. It would be great if these could be a little thicker and plusher. The storage basket underneath the stroller was adequate but not huge by any means. A bigger basket would be awesome. Finally, if I only had one child this travel system would be amazing, but with two it's not ideal as only one can use the stroller at a time. Modifications to adapt the stroller to carry both an infant and toddler would make this an amazing option for families with two kids. Lastly, we are in the middle of a move so I haven't been able to fully part this travel system through its paces, but I look forward to using it more and leaving an updated review in a few months.

Sturdy and easy to use system!
November 3, 2019
I have tried a lot of carseats and strollers over my past 10 years of being a parent. I have 5 kids from the age of 2 months to 10 years old and I love finding new baby gear that makes my life easier. I spend a lot of time researching products before making any purchases and reading reviews is one of the main ways I do this which is why I find it important to leave my own reviews after I have tried out a product and decided what I think about it. Overall I have been very impressed with this travel system. It was very easy to set up and be ready to use out of the box. The instructions were very clear, I especially appreciated that they not only had images to show how things worked but also had written instructions so there were no questions left after going over them. I love the look of both the carseat and stroller, they look very sleek especially in this black option. They also feel like they are solidly constructed, where I would often notice plastic parts on other brands of strollers these had nice metal parts that I feel will be much more durable and long lasting. The carseat was amazingly simple to install, when using the base I was able to quickly install it and it was perfectly tight on the first try with no adjusting. It's also very quick to install without the base so would be convenient if you have to switch cars from time to time or use a taxi system. The carseat can also very quickly snap into the stroller with the included adapters which makes getting baby from the car into the stroller a breeze! Another feature of the carseat that I absolutely love is the padding, it looks so comfortable and supportive for my little one and she seems very content in it. The stroller is by far the easiest to push that I have ever used. I can steer it with one hand with absolutely no effort which is huge for me as I typically end up carrying one of my other children while still needing to push the stroller! The adjustable handlebar is an added bonus especially because my husband is a foot taller than me so he can comfortably use the same stroller for our kids as I do. The basket is nice and roomy and is easily accessible from the back and the front of the stroller which is really cool! I also used the stroller with my older children that aren't in an infant carseat and they loved the comfort of it as well and it was still so easy to push even with my 4 year old in it. The only small complaint that I have about this stroller is that I wish it had a parent tray/cup holder so I would have somewhere to put my phone, keys, and maybe a drink but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me. My favorite feature of this travel system after using it is the one handed fold for the stroller. I can so easily while holding my infant or child grab the strap on the stroller and pull it which immediately folds the stroller up, very compactly I may add, so it is ready to put into my car and carry on with my day. I highly recommend this travel system to anyone looking for a safe and easy to use stroller and carseat that will last them for a very long time. Thank you to the Stellar Product Panel for giving me the opportunity to test out this amazing travel system.

Awesome Travel System
November 3, 2019
I am very impressed with this travel system! I was able to try it through the Stellar Product Parent Panel, but I would not hesitate to buy this stroller and car seat duo. I found the car seat easy to install, both with and without the base- which means this will be awesome on vacation. The car seat has a really nice sun shade that flips down. It can be used for up to 35 lb. rear facing, which is a long time for an infant car seat! The stroller looks sleek and stylish, and it's awesome to maneuver. It's easy to fold up with one hand, and it's relatively light. I really like that it has hand brakes. My little guy is 3 months old, and he is happy as a clam with the car seat snapped into the stroller. He stays asleep the whole time he is in there whenever we are shopping or on a stroll. The tires do really well on all kinds of terrain, so he is able to stay asleep. I will definitely be recommending this travel system to all of the new mamas (and mamas to be) in my life.

Lightweight and comfortable!
November 3, 2019
I recently received the City Mini 2 Travel System in Jet Fashion trough the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I cannot be happier with the system! I have a bad back, and being a new first-time mom, I direly need a travel system that is lightweight and easy to maneuver. I was skeptical since travel systems are generally heavy, but I was pleasantly surprised by this travel system. I love the fact that I can easily and quickly move the carrier portion from the car to the stroller and since the carrier is so comfortable, the baby doesn't even notice that she is being moved. I finally can run errands without the baby fussing! On top of that - I know that my daughter is secure and safe whether the carrier is in the car or attached to the stroller. I have even started taking my daughter for walks around my neighborhood which was never even a thought until I had this system.

All the bells and whistles!
November 3, 2019
The city mini GT 2 travel system is amazing! It was very easy to unbox and assemble. You just need to add the wheels and the sun canopy and you're ready to stroll! The car seat is fully assembled and with the no rethread harness it is quick and easy to adjust to your baby. This is the first seat I have owned with a no rethread harness and now it's something I couldn't live without! I also love that the seat can be installed with and without the base because it makes it easy to switch baby between cares and care providers as needed. The base install is a little less intuitive than the seat only installation but once you do it once it's easy to repeat. The seat itself looks comfortable and is nicely cushioned. It snaps easily on to the stroller which allows me to run errands without waking my sleeping baby! The stroller is my new go to. With one hand I can bring the seat to a deep recline which makes it so easy for me to switch out my infant and toddler or allow my toddler to take a nap. I was impressed by how well my large toddler fits (32 lbs and 32") she is very comfortable in it and even chose to sit in the stroller rather than walk which is rare! The padded five point harness makes me confident in their safety and the hand brake is a dream during flip flop season! The adjustable foot rest can either be up or down with no in between but so far my toddler doesn't mind. The canopy is UV50+ and has two peek-a-boo windows with silent closures so you can sneakily check on your little one without noisy Velcro! There is a large vent that does have Velcro to keep it closed but allows for a lot of extra air flow. The handlebar is easy to adjust and makes for a comfortable push for myself (5'6") and my husband (6'). The stroller has a very smooth ride and is perfect for both running errands or walking on grass or other bumpy terrain. It's really an all in one stroller! I can imagine it will be great to travel with because it is compact without sacrificing important features. The undercarriage storage is probably average for similar strollers but has plenty of room and there is also a large mesh pouch on the back of the seat perfect for key, diapers, wipes, and snacks! My absolute favorite feature of the stroller is the one handed fold that allows me to fold and store it without putting down my infant! My only critique of the travel system is with the harness clip on the stroller. It can be difficult to clip quickly because you need to slide the top and bottom strap into each other before inserting in the middle. The straps also need to be rethreaded to accommodate larger kids but I have been able to switch between my toddler and infant by just adjusting tightness. I received this travel system to review from the Stellar Parent Panel and one week in it is already my "go-to!" I highly recommend it as it has all the bells and whistles and can go from newborn well through the toddler years!

Great System for Moms on the Go
November 3, 2019
We live in a semi-rural area. I need to drive everywhere we go, so obviously a car seat is a must, but we also like taking the baby around our neighborhood on stroller walks. This is a great tandem system we received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It allows us to both ride safely in the car and in the stroller with minimal back and forth. The car seat was easy enough to install and the stroller folds up compactly so it fits in the back of my hatchback when we're running errands but I actually found I just left it in there all the time so I had it whenever I wanted it. I was able to install the car seat by myself with and without the base, although I preferred the base so that I could easily use the stroller and just click and go. The option to use the seat without the base seems like a good urban option if you don't have your own car, but we don't travel enough for that to be a major consideration. The pros: this system came out of the box easy to assemble and use right away. The stroller handles beautifully and as we are already familiar with the baby jogger city mini GT, there was minimal learning curve (small things like the brakes being in a different spot, but nothing major). The car seat adapter is simple to install and uninstall and then the car seat just plonks right in. The cons: the car seat sun shade and the handle keep getting caught up in each other, which makes it frustrating to adjust the handle up and down. If the car seat base works with my latch system I couldn't figure out how, so it was not as simple to install as a car seat that works with the latch system, but I got it to work and I felt it was safe, just not foolproof. I would recommend this system to any friend, but especially any ones who live in the city, or who like to go on walks with their infant but also need to be on the go in a car.

Easy to use!
November 3, 2019
We got the City Mini 2 Travel System through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. So far the only bad thing I have to say about it is, it is a little on the heavy side for me but other than that we love it. My daughter cried in her old seat but loves this one. It is comfortable for her and easy to adjust. It was very easy to install in my van! We stroller is amazing. I have nothing bad to say about it! It is very easy to use and is easy to push with one hand. It has so many great features. The huge canopy is probably my favorite. It kept the cold air off my daughter while trick or treating this weekend. She was so comfortable she didn't cry the whole time! It is also very easy to fold and store.

Nice, moderately priced travel system
November 3, 2019
Overall, this is a great moderately priced travel system. The car seat seems pretty light weight and the handlebar has great grip material. I love that it comes with a body support for small babies, ours were both around 6 pounds. It is kinda difficult to move the handlebar over the carseat canopy, there just isn't very much room for it to squeeze by, but this is a very minor detail. The canopy is huge in my opinion which is awesome I love that it keeps the sun out of baby's eyes without an extra covering. Cool that you can use without base. Grandma can pick baby up from daycare if we're in a pinch for time. One last thing that makes the carseat super easy to use is there is a simple lever to adjust the height as baby grows in length so you don't have to rethread the straps. The stroller basket is a little hard to get into and out of because of the bar on the back, but you can access it from the front which is a nice bonus feature (if your kids feet aren't in the way. The calf support is nice for those who would use it, but it's not a selling feature for me. If your shoes are wet, water gets into the basket because of the brake location. When I walk to the store in the snow this will be something to keep in mind. Just like the car seat there is a big canopy and two places to install it (one higher, one lower!) The stroller steers very well, seems to go across grass, leaves, sidewalks just fine. My favorite parts of the stroller is the nice thick back wheels and the super grippy handlebar. The travel system was easy to put together, hardest thing was figuring out the adapters for the carseat. This made is super handy when we drove to the store and baby fell asleep. I could also walk with my toddler and baby could nap while we walked. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Pleasantly surprised!
November 3, 2019
While I never liked the idea of travel systems, I must admit the City Mini 2 impressed me! I just had my first baby at the end of September and I actually really like what this travel system has to offer. The Car Seat: I don't use the car seat to carry my baby outside the car, but I appreciated how easy the seat was to install quickly in a new vehicle. The City GO infant seat was reclined and padded perfectly when we first tried it at a few weeks old (~9lbs). It was very easy to install without the base, which was really handy with all the vehicle shuffling my family does. The seat was very easy to attach to the stroller and my baby girl seemed very comfortable in it (she passed out right away on our walk!). Personally, I thought the seat was too heavy to carry outside the car on a daily basis, but I'm not sure how it compares to the weight of other infant seats. The Stroller: The City Mini 2 itself is very well made and I trust will last us as long as we will need a stroller. The one handed fold is SO QUICK AND EASY. I really underestimated how helpful this feature would be when trying to take baby anywhere. It is 100x easier to fold and unfold than our previous stroller and we will definitely be switching over to it full time once our baby is big enough to be in the main area. Overall, I would say the best features of this travel system are the one handed fold on the stroller and the taxi belt bath on the infant seat. I will continue to use our convertible seat as our main car seat, but I love having the infant seat available as a back up for using in other vehicles. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Easy to use and super sturdy!
November 3, 2019
I've received the city mini gt2 for free as part of a testing panel. I had the original City Mini GT for years and loved it. They really fixed the few things I wish they had form the original. The locking front wheel really ups the safety factor when taking the stroller for a run compared to the original. Also, it seems like there's much more shock support, but can't speak to the specs on this, just feels much more absorbent. The grips are great, the ease of buckling and unbuckling is super easy as well. I do wish that the car seat attachment was a bit more hidden, but this seems to be a necessity. All in all a great stroller. For the car seat, I love the base: of you haven't purchased the base, do so immediately, you're life will be so much easier! The base is super easy to attach to any relatively modern car and makes getting the car seat in and out a breeze. Easy design and has a great "click" that lets me know the car seat connected to the base appropriately. The car seat itself seems to be comfortable to the baby, as it is the only place he dozed off with ease. Great all in one system I'd highly recommend to my friends and family.

The City mini GT2 travel system
November 3, 2019
The City Go 2 Car seat isn't great from our experience sadly. The biggest gripe is the fabric isn't the best. It gets so hot that our poor girl is a sweaty puddle in no time with the heat here in the summer time. It also seems like a great start but our girl outgrew the seat fairly fast. I also wish the way it fits into the stroller with the adapters was way easier to line up without really trying to get it perfect every time. The City mini GT2 travel system is a mixed bag.We absolutely love the stroller. It is sleek and compact and a smooth ride for our child. It is super easy to fold it up and throw in the trunk. The more we use the stroller the more we love it for going around town more and more. But the car seat is a mess. The fabric causes our child to sweat more than usual, and she runs hot already so this was a major minus for us. The other thing is it is good for the first few months and our child outgrew it within 6 months. We definitely hate that but we love and will continue to use the stroller. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Amazing Travel System!
November 2, 2019
This travel system is so easy to put together, it took me no time at all and I barely had to glance at the directions. Installing the base was also easy and the rapidlock system is definitely an added bonus. I felt like it helped me get a tighter install. The car seat has tons of padding and seems like it would do great in a collision. It makes me feel that my newborn is safer since she seems more secure. The car seat also clips into the stroller easily and you're ready to go in no time. My only complaint about the car seat itself is that it is hard to tighten the straps, but I think with time and use it will become easier once it's a little more broken in. The stroller is light weight and easy to maneuver, even my 3 year old loves pushing it around the house! I like the two windows on the stroller canopy and I like that they aren't mesh like other strollers. I am able to check on her while using the stroller without allowing cold air to come through. Folding up the stroller is a breeze and only takes one hand. The stroller also has plenty of storage space which is great for small shopping trips or storing the essentials we need for a walk around the neighborhood. The best part is my newborn seemed to enjoy the car seat and stroller, she cried anytime she was put in our old one! Overall I highly recommend this travel system. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system to try out!

Perfect for those that travel!
November 2, 2019
I have always been a fan of the Baby Jogger products and am fortunate to have the opportunity to test the new City Mini 2 Travel System in Jet Fashion. I am a new mother of 2 to a 2 and half-year old girl and 4-week-old girl. I use a stroller/car seat daily for walking to daycare. Both sides of our family live far away and we also are traveling a lot for holidays. My first impression is that I couldn't believe the box that came included both the stroller and the car seat. It was very well stored and easy to un-box even 4 weeks post-op from a C-section. Not much of it needed assembly and I was able to assemble almost everything without even using the manual, but the manual was very easy to follow when needed. The manual is essential for base and car seat installation into the car. I really liked the feature where there is a little handy storage compartment in the base for the manual, it's very well thought out. The stroller is extremely lightweight, compact, folds with the use of one hand and has great maneuverability. The ease of maneuverability is even better than my 2017 Baby Jogger product. My favorite feature is the near flat seat recline combined with adjustable calf support, which is great for a nap while on the go all day. There is an extra bonus of a canopy that is SPF 50, 360-degree access to the storage bin, and you can detach the seat for cleaning! My previous stroller did not have these features. Also, I love that while they are flat, there is a peek-a-boo flap that can be raised to allow me to see my toddler! The handle bar is very comfortable on the hands. Another plus is that all of my prior owned attachments from Baby Jogger (car seat adapter, tray, parent console and glider board) are still compatible with this new model! When it came to trying out the glider board with my toddler while my baby was in the car seat attachment, I actually found it to not be very functional. For the board to be used with this stroller, it had to be fully extended out due to the handle bar placement and then I was not able to comfortably walk straight on with the stroller without short stutter steps. The car seat feels and looks incredibly comfortable for baby Reagan at only 4 weeks old. The headrest adjusts easily with a sliding function in the back. My baby looks supported and not crammed into the seat. It is very important to me and makes me rest assured that the car seat is TRUE Test Plus, meaning it has been tested in extreme conditions and exceeds standards. The car seat easily snaps into the adaptors on the stroller. It is great that the car seat/stroller combo can be used from 4lb to 50lb and height of 32 inches accommodating basically all infants at least to age one. There are a few cons I found on this car seat compared to my experience with other car seats. One, my winter insert was not compatible with this car seat. Two, it takes 2 hands to adjust the carry handle which I find challenging with a toddler car seat right next to the seat. In addition, when it came to installing the base into the car, I attempted on my own and was unable to adjust it properly and get the latch to snap. My husband had to install it and it posed challenging for him as well. The car seat itself snaps very easily into the base. A positive to this, however, is that the car seat can be used without the base, but I do prefer to use it. A bonus to the car seat though is that it can be used in many ways without the base allowing for safe travel in taxi/Uber/car rentals for those the travel frequently. Overall, I would highly recommend the City Mini 2 Travel System in Jet Fashion! It had amazing improvements that I noticed from an older model. This is the best stroller for those that do travel a lot. The slim fold-up, lightweight and one hand folding cannot be beat for ease of putting it in the trunk of any car. The issues we personally had with the car seat installation may be due to our car and are solved with a very easy no base installation process. We tried installing our base on firm leather seats of a Honda Pilot making it hard to get it to latch properly with the high bar of the base. The car seat itself is very safe and looks amazingly comfortable. My daughter instantly falls asleep in the car seat on car rides and walks! Thank you WeeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this stroller/car seat to try and review.

Game Changer
November 2, 2019
This Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 travel system is absolutely fantastic. I cannot rave about it enough! We have four kiddos and this was such a game changer for us. This set is made to be lighter in weight but don't let that make you think it is cheap or unsafe. The infant seat is beautiful. Comfortable and sturdy. The set comes with the base but it can also very easily be installed in taxis or ride share vehicles without the base. Between the easy install of the infant seat and the one handed fold of the stroller this set is well worth the price tag. It saves so much time and effort. My husband carried the baby in the infant seat from our car into a taxi with no effort while I held my toddlers hand and carried the stroller in the other. That is how light it is! The stroller itself is something we've never really seen before. It maneuvers like a jogger but isn't half as bulky as my first jogging stroller. It handles like a dream. The wheel lock is towards the top of the handlebar so you aren't messing with your feet and trying to bend over to lock the stroller. When using with the infant seat there are extra pieces to install which keep it secure in place. Again, so easy. Everything is done with either the click of a button or the flip of a switch. I couldn't recommend a better travel system, whether you have one kid or many, this does the trick! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 travel system in exchange for my honest review.

Stylish Easy to Use Travel System
November 2, 2019
I was very excited to receive the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 travel system from the Weespring Stellar Panel. When it arrived my husband and I worked together to figure out how to assemble and use it. Some of the assembly took us a little while but once we understood what to do it was very easy. We barely needed the manual, although the manual was very clear and informative. The stroller itself is extremely easy to maneuver. It can be guided one handed, as well as easily adjusted for both child and caregiver. The recline is adjustable as well as the foot of the stroller, and the back panel can be rolled up exposing a cooling panel. The handle bar adjusts to different heights, which meant that both my children and my six foot husband could push it. The material of the handle for both the stroller and the car seat is a wonderful grippy material that's comfortable and allows for more overall control. There are more features than I had expected including two peekaboo panels with a magnetic closure as well as an additional storage compartment on the back of the stroller. The storage basket underneath was large enough for my diaper bag and I appreciated that the sides could be pressed down when putting things in. The foot section of the stroller also lifts to allow access to the storage from the front. It is very easy to fold and unfold, and you can leave the adaptors of the car seat connection on when it's folded although they do make it a little bulky. The design of the break is great. It is very accessible and only one thing to adjust. The stroller itself is comfortable and our thirty-seven inch two year old fit with room to spare. The straps are four pieces which I found a little bit complicated but they do make it very easy to get your child out of the stroller. I like the padding on the buckles of both the stroller and car seat. My issues with this stroller are that there isn't any storage near the handles for essentials, but it's also nice not to have to worry about a poorly fitting drink tray falling off. I've noticed that you can buy storage and a lot more to add to your stroller. But I do wish that it wasn't an additional purchase. When I added a partially packed diaper bag to the handle it did make the stroller more likely to tip over when empty and the front wheel won't work to attach a stroller weight. However with a child in it I didn't have that problem and the storage basket underneath was roomy enough for the necessities. The stroller is quite heavy but not too heavy to be lifted. I wish that the connectors to attach the car seat weren't an additional piece to keep track of although they are very easy to attach to the stroller. I did find that it was harder than I would have liked to attach the car seat to the stroller since it all has to be lined up correctly and the handle of the car seat has to be in the right position. But overall I really like this travel system. The car seat itself is on the heavier side but the features it offers make up for it. My only other issue is that the padding on the head support is pretty hard as it seems to have a plastic piece inside of the foam material of the support. However I think that's apart of the easy adjustability which I do love because it allows you to adjust the height of the straps without pulling the car seat apart and rethreading the straps. This feature alone makes the car seat worth it. The body support on the other hand is nice and soft. The tightness of the straps is so easy to adjust that you can adjust them every time you put your baby in. My two year old who is a little bit too tall to use this car seat safely but under the weight limit was able to fit pretty comfortably even with the body support for infants in place. A younger baby would fit even better. Installing the car seat with or without the base is truly a breeze. It's the easiest car seat that I've had to install. The clip at the back for the strap when doing a baseless install makes it a lot easier and more secure. An install with the base is even easier. I also like that there is a level to verify that everything is at the right angle. Over all I'm very happy with the travel system. The stroller is amazingly easy to steer and the car car seat is easy to use and adjust. This travel system will work well for our needs from newborn to toddler and is a very sleek, modern design.

Safe and Convenient!
November 2, 2019
I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a new mom, safety and ease of use are always essential components for me when purchasing new products. With that said, I was eager to test out this product and quickly found that this travel system exceeded both! I was immediately impressed with the padding of the car seat and how easy it was to adjust everything and install it into the car. The padding provides just enough support while still allowing room for my daughter to turn her head. I also love the extended canopy! As for the stroller, one of my favorite features is the one-hand fold and how light it is. It makes storage a breeze. The adapters that come with the travel system allow you to easily click the car seat right in. As your child gets older, you can use the seat portion of the stroller instead which can be reclined to an almost flat position. While this product has multiple impressive features, the one downside I found was that the stroller really didn't handle bumpy surfaces as well as I would have liked. If you're using it for older babies with more head control or mainly on smooth paths, then it shouldn't be a problem. All in all, I would definitely recommend this product to other parents looking for a safe, convenient, and sleek car seat and stroller combination!

Winner!!

I got this travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I couldn't be happier!! The design is super sleek and my favorite part of it is how nimble it is. I'm talking "what tight corners?!" I didn't install the seat without the base, but I cannot rave enough about the base! The fact that the bar comes up for the seatbelt to go through and then comes down to secure it, is AMAZING! So much easier than the previous infant seat I had. Also a huge bonus- my baby LOVES this seat so much more than her other one! 10/10 id recommend this system to EVERYONE!

Awesome Travel System!!
November 2, 2019
I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and we love it! The only thing we needed to do for stroller assembly was click on the wheels and we were good to go; it rides extra smooth. My three year old could not wait to test it out and even more so, push around his baby sister in our new gear! Once his baby sister was in the car seat, she didn't want to get out; she looks so cozy and content in there, and big brother easily maneuvered the stroller. The infant car seat was easily installed with and without the base, and then conveniently clicks into the stroller when out and about. The giant canopies on both the car seat and stroller are a huge plus! We really like how much the stroller reclines, perfect for a nap, and opening and closing it is so easy; unhook the clasp to open and simply pull up on the seat to close. It's also compact and light weight, making it easy to carry. The only thing I wish it came with is a parent cup holder or accessory tray/bag. Overall I think this travel system is awesome and would definitely recommend it!

Best travel system for urban babies!
November 2, 2019
In preparation for making the leap to parenthood in Brooklyn my husband and I tested out A LOT of strollers and car seat options. Fancy ones that cost $$$$$; small, lightweight ones that are easy to get in and out of the subway; and everything in between. We literally spent an entire Saturday testing them out around various baby stores, and the City Mini GT2 was hands down the best of them. It is easy to maneuver, folds with just one hand, has tons of storage, is sturdy but still lightweight, and the car seat is easy to use (yet still feels secure!) without the base. For urban parents who walk and take taxis and public transit, this is a dream setup. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Great for family travel with lots of kiddos
November 2, 2019
The design of this City Mini 2 Travel System in Jet Fashion is great! This stroller is the only stroller that fits in the back of my Tahoe when I have all three rows up. While I did receive this product as a tester for the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I would definitely recommend this product, particularly for families that need to fit a lot of carseats and gear into their vehicle. The seat was easy to install and the fabric of the seat is very luxe. I love black seats but, they do get warmer as a result; however, this seat stayed cooler than others I have and my little guy loves it because of this!

Great everyday travel system
November 1, 2019
Living in the suburbs means that when we need to go places we are packing everything into the car. The car seat clicks easily into the base that I leave installed in my full-size SUV. It does require the front passenger seat to be moved forward because of the angle of the car seat, but that seems pretty typical of most infant seats. I have a larger baby (born 9 lbs 6 oz) and this seat is easily adjustable for her as she grows taller. It also gives her a little more width in the hips and shoulders than some other infant seats. The stroller is great for flat surfaces, specifically indoors-grocery store, mall, stores etc. On sidewalks with bumps, cracks and ramps that have any ledges it makes for a little bit of a bumpy ride. The canopy on the stroller is fantastic for great coverage from sun and germs. I love how easily this stroller folds with one hand to toss in the trunk of the SUV. It's definitely a two-handed lift to pick it up once folded because of weight, but it's not cumbersome. I was really excited about receiving this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Having a chic and comfortable travel system that is also super safe and secure is a daily need for our family!

Great stroller, average car seat, good overall
November 1, 2019
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. I really love the stroller as it is easy to maneuver, the shade/canopy is large, and is a smooth ride for the kiddos with sturdy rubber wheels. It is structured like a jogger with three wheels (2 standard back wheels, 1 double front wheel) which makes it easy to handle even one handed. The shade provides good sun coverage/protection allowing my babe (either my toddler in the stroller seat our newborn in the travel system) to nap while on walks. My only downside to the stroller is I do wish the stroller came with a removable snack tray for older kiddos and a parent console for keys/phone or maybe even a water bottle. The storage basket underneath is a good size and easy to access. It is easy to fold and compact when folded although I don't love how the car seat attachment pieces stick out - but not a deal breaker. I frankly don't love the car seat. It's easy enough to install but my son did not fit well in it. He's not a small baby by any means but I did not feel i could get the straps tight enough. The carry bar is not easy to adjust and got stuck more than once. The shade is large which I like but feels pretty flimsy when pulling it back/forward. I do like the head support/pillow attachment for little ones and that the seat itself is pretty lightweight but it's definitely not my favorite child seat. Overall it's a good travel system but could use a few tweaks, mostly in the car seat department.

Smooth ride
November 1, 2019
The carseat has some really great features! It's pretty light, even with a baby in it. The grip on the handle makes holding it comfortable. The shade covers them so well, it started snowing and I was able to keep him covered and dry from car to house and vice versa. The padding is pretty well structured but also soft for baby and the grey color is neutral for everyone. The straps are attached to the head piece and the whole thing is adjustable in the back. It's easy to move up and down as needed for the size of baby. No looping the straps back and forth and making sure they're even! I loved this feature, especially since babies grow so fast, straps need to be fixed often. It came with shoulder pad covers that I removed, for me they looked too bunchy and big. When he gets bigger I may use them. My baby hasn't liked carseats since day one but he really seems to like this one. And he sleeps in it! The shade keeps the sun out of his eyes in my car and I can still see him in the mirror above his seat with it pulled all the way down. The base was super easy to install in my car, and was great for me as I have a small car. It's a smaller carseat and base, so it fit really well. The base its self is super secure, has a really easy to read level to make sure it gets installed correctly. It's simple and easy to adjust the incline of the base with a button. The carseat clicks into the base pretty well, until I got used to it, I had an issue lining up the carseat on the base. The stroller is great. Easy to unfold in a pinch and fold right back up. The one handed fold down is quite possibly my favorite thing all together. It really is one handed, just pull the strap and it folds right up. I have two toddlers that dont sit still for long or calmly, so this quick and accessible feature is the best. The stroller isn't very heavy either so it's not hard to put in my car quickly or one handed even. I love that the stroller just comes right out easy and is ready to go. It's also pretty compact when folded, not bulky and huge. It fits in my car amazingly. The carseat just snaps on just like the base and is ready to go! The canopies cover each other to give full coverage from weather outside, which was great in the snow for us. Also the shade on the stroller has a window on it to see in and it's a big enough panel I can keep an eye on my baby nicely without taking the shade down! The stroller navigates great, it's easy to push, rides smoothly, steers without issue. You can push it very easily with one hand also, which is important with 2 older mobile kiddos! It also goes through snow with no issue at all. The basket on the stroller is a little smaller than I would like. It's accessible though, through the calf adjustment in the front and the back under the seat. The strollers seat is easily adjusted too. The back can recline flat or sit up and it doesn't take much to move around. The brake is very reliable and simple to put on or take off. One thing I was disappointed in is that there's no cup holder or place to out my keys or phone on the top. Those products are sold separately, so I'll have to get one! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this product out, we really enjoy it!

Nice design easy to use
November 1, 2019
I received this travel system through stellar testing panel and am so glad I did. The infant care seat was very nice design and does not make my baby sweat as much as others after a long car ride. It was easy to set up in the car The 3 wheel pivot makes it easier to maneuver compared to the standard 4 wheels that cant turn. I liked how baby could be completely covered but still have that big panel that can open to see her. There was more steps in setting up the stroller than my other system but still easy. For the price it is definitely worth it. The downside for me is though it is easy to close with 1 hand, if you are short you would have to tip toe so that handle doesnt scrape against ground. Also I dont believe this can fit 2 kids and is a little heavier than the one I already have (but that was twice the cost). So overall this is a better deal for good quality

It's a great stroller especially for travel. Very easy to fold and unfold. Pushes well. The biggest downsides are 1) the adjustable footrest gets stuck in the out position and is hard to close. To the point where I will be calling the company to see about fixing it. 2) the seat reclines in the most upright position and my infant appears a little annoyed with it. She tries to sit up more but cannot.

Basket size
September 9, 2019
I have to write this to let people know the basket under the seat actually has plenty of room for your essentials. Anyone who can't fit their purse or diaper bag needs to seriously consider downsizing their day to day. Yes, the seat does recline more than others, but our 16 month old has learned to deal with it. He doesn't like being in the stroller long anyhow so he just kicks back when moving from point A to B. Or he fusses, like toddlers do, and we move on :) Love this stroller, wouldn't change it out for another one.

Convenient and portable, but...
August 21, 2019
The stroller is lightweight and extremely compact for its size. I have a small car and love that it fits in my trunk with room to spare. Opening and closing it is a breeze, and I love how the side latch seems to auto-lock. I also love how large the sun shade is. That said, a few of the features could us more attention to make the stroller less frustrating. As others have said, the bottom basket is small. It can't fit a diaper bag, so I'm stuck wearing it everywhere we go. I wish the seat sat more upright. My daughter seems to always be leaning back, even when the seat isn't reclined. It seems like she want to be sitting up to see but can't. I also REALLY dislike the buckle. There are so many individual straps and pieces that have to fit together just so. It takes longer to buckle a kid in than it does to set up the stroller. I wish I would have tested that out before buying. The buckle alone would have made me choose another stroller. Maybe these aren't things that would bother everyone, but I want a stroller to be functional and uncomplicated. This stroller just doesn't fit the bill.

Easy to use and pretty lightweight! It maneuvers like a dream. The sunshade provides excellent coverage and the seat reclines almost flat- our 10 month old has already taken several snoozes in it with no fuss. Cons: I wish it had easier access to the basket- it's kind of a pain to get things in and out of. I also wish it stood upright more stably.

Straps Don't Stay Together
July 10, 2019
We bought the new city mini GT2 and love it except for the straps. The clasps that come apart on each harness strap (to be able to raise the straps higher) do not stay closed. Every time I put my son in the stroller, in addition to snapping the main buckles, I have to reconnect the strap clasps. I called the company and they sent replacement straps but the same thing happens. Not good manufacturings.

Great for naps and long walks!
June 30, 2019
I love this stroller for the large canopy that blocks out the sun and for the durable wheels. The picture of the mom carrying it up a flight of stairs in one hand with baby in arm is slightly misleading as it is a bit heavy for that. All in all a great stroller and good price! One note to the creators, sometimes baby likes to sit more upright and this (like most jogger) leans back even in most upright position.

I like the stroller. It's easy to open and close. It's a great weight. I wish the basket was bigger for diaper bags I also wish it came with more accessories. Also the structure seems very solid, but the wheels seems more like it was made with cheap hard plastic.

Smooth Stroller, Horrible Car Seat
May 17, 2019
Our baby is barely 7 weeks old and dreads going in her citi mini car seat. She is instantly sweaty both on outdoor walks and in car rides and we're stuck on what to do as she is too small for the stroller itself. We are now forced to replace the expensive car seat after barely being able to use it as part of the travel system. So buyers beware - it is NOT compatible for infants up to 35 lbs and poorly designed with thick inserts that cannot be removed. It is best for newborns up to 8 lbs MAX. We can no longer place our baby in the car as she hates the seat and doesn't fit. Very disappointing. Stroller works great in big cities however is very heavy for single parent usage (especially after surgery, there is no way for a mother to use travel system if alone).

Great Stroller - Dislike the straps
May 6, 2019
This is a great stroller for kids ranging in age from infant to 3 or 4 (maybe older but my oldest is 4.5 now). One thing I do not care for (AT ALL) are the straps that you use to buckle the child in. It is impossible to find the right strap quickly to get the child buckled with a squirming child.

Best jogger stroller!
April 30, 2019
I received this stroller as part of the WeeSpring Parent panel but have been looking at the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 and was very excited to get to try it. This is the first time I have used a jogger/three wheel stroller and I must say, I am very impressed with the overall design of the stroller. It was very easy to set up and has a very clean look to it. The forever air rubber tires and all wheel suspension are great on all kinds of terrain - we are city dwellers and it did very well on the uneven/brick'd pavement but also on grass at parks and even on a hike at a local state park! One of my favorite things about the stroller though is how easy it is to fold - I am able to do it with one hand. This really is essential for me, I have 9 month old twins and only really ever have one hand free (if I'm lucky!) Another great feature is the adjustable handle bar and hand break as it really makes me feel like I have control of the stroller. I have Nuna Pipa infant car seats and was able to use it easily with this stroller.

The smoothest ride
April 28, 2019
I was actually fortunate to have found a BabyJogger (old version) at a second hand store and really loved it but I donated it to a family friend who didn't have much for her baby. We found out we are having a second baby so I panicked a bit, then I was gifted the amazing GT2!! This is the smoothest ride - I jogged with my daughter (3 years old) and she fell asleep, the shocks were so smooth and reactive and the wheels are so dang nice. This stroller is FANCY. It has the best features you actually need as a parent and the storage underneath is perfect. My daughter absolutely loved the feature to put her legs up and we have been using it more than any stroller in the past. We walk everywhere in our neighborhood so this has been fantastic - it folds up so compact and simple, it's a godsend. We bought and tested the adaptors for our new car seat and can't wait to use it for our next little one. The only thing I would ask for would be more tray options for the kid and adult area.

Great design!
April 28, 2019
My LO is 1.5 years old and has hit the full toddler stage. So, I started looking for a stroller that she would actually be willing to get in to and ride in for awhile for trips to the store, walks in the neighborhood, etc. Thanks to the weeSpring parent panel I received the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 to try and review a few weeks ago. It was an immediate hit (for my LO but even more so for me)! She loves getting in it and has actually already figured out how to climb in to it on her own (and thanks to the handy locking mechanism on the side it is safe for her to maneuver her way in to it while locked in place). It is super easy to fold with one hand so I can hold her with one arm and fold and put the stroller in the car with the other. One of my favorite features is that the foot rest actually folds up which allows you to reach in to the storage basket from the front which is awesome but then it also clips in to create a flat surface. This may be hard to understand without seeing it but basically this means when my LO falls asleep in the stroller I can lay the back down fully flat and put up the foot rest flat so even a fully grown toddler can lay flat completely. This is wonderful for those long trips when my LO just needs to sleep. And because the hood, when fully extended, covers almost the whole stroller she can sleep protected from the sun and disturbances. This stroller was definitely designed by parents and it works perfectly! I am sure to use this for many years ahead.

Lots of room
April 28, 2019
We got this stroller a few weeks ago because we needed something that was easier to push through a neighborhood that would really grow with our baby girl. This will be here only stroller as it fits up to height of like 46". The under storage was not as big as my other stroller that we had but it is average size. The only thing we didn't like that it didn't have a place for bottles or drinks. that you pay so much and still have to purchase that separately.

The easiest stroller on the market to fold!!!
April 26, 2019
As a first-time mom of a 17-month old boy toddler, I'm always looking for ways to not feel overwhelmed when leaving the house! And having a good stroller can make a huge difference. This is where the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 comes in - it has become my go-to stroller. This is my third stroller now as I also have a high-end stroller and another jogging stroller in the quest to find the one that makes a mom's life easier, and neither compare to the City Mini GT2 in terms of ease-of-use, lightweight, convenience and versatility. I use the GT2 when I'm out running errands, grocery shopping or walking at the park. My son literally squeals with excitement every time he sees this stroller because he LOVES riding in it!! First and foremost, this is the easiest stroller on the market to fold. The one-handed fold feature of the GT2 is amazing, and the light nature of the stroller, truly makes it a one-hand operation. I'm 5'5" and I have no problem lifting and folding the stroller, but it does still take two hands for me to lift into the back of my SUV. I love how compact it also becomes when folded and I've gained cargo space back in my car. The ease of folding is definitely my favorite feature of the GT2!! As for the design, it is very sleek, modern and made of high-quality materials that have cleaned easily. I have found the ride quality and maneuverability to be excellent and it glides effortless when pushed over different terrain. The frame is also very sturdy, and we haven't found it to flex. I have pushed it down dirt roads for walks, through the mall and down paved sidewalks. My son seems comfortable despite the bumps or the dirt road, and he loves how the seat is slightly reclined and he looks super comfortable every time he goes for a ride. Two areas of improvement include the size of the basket under the stroller and the hand brake. The basket size could be larger as my diaper bag does not easily fit and access can be difficult, but it does accommodate small toys, blanket, water bottles, etc. The location and function of the hand brake is also a bit awkward. It works well once engaged, but not as easy to use as a foot brake common on other strollers. We did not attempt to use an infant car seat with this stroller as our son has transitioned to a convertible car seat, but I did notice there are adapters included with the stroller that work with the Baby Jogger City GO/Graco Click Connect infant car seats, and adapters for other brands can be purchased separately. Thanks WeeSpring Parent Panel for sending me the GT2 to try!!

Great stroll, love the canopy!
April 26, 2019
Baby Jogger has done a great job with the aesthetic design on the city mini GT2. I was previously unimpressed by other Baby Jogger brand strollers I'd seen, but this one looks very sleek and was turning lots of heads when we took it to the zoo! The all-wheel suspension and all-terrain wheels are really nice on the uneven sidewalks in our neighborhood, and I look forward to taking it on more rugged terrain now that the weather's nice! This is the third stroller we've used, and I'm seriously impressed by the size of the canopy! It keeps my toddler nice and shaded, and he loves playing peek-a-boo through the 2 (!!!) peek-a-boo windows on the canopy. I also appreciate the fact that the canopy can be installed in two positions to either accommodate a taller child or to provide a shorter baby with more shade. The adjustable handlebar is an essential feature for our household since I'm 5'2 and my husband is 6'4, and we were both able to find a comfortable position to push the stroller. However, either we take abnormally long strides, or we've been spoiled by our other strollers, but this stroller seems to have a rear wheel axle that is lower to the ground and closer to the handlebars, since both of us kept kicking it as we walked. I appreciate the efficiency of the one-handed, pull-to-close fold, but the stroller only stands on it's own while folded if the handlebar and front wheel are positioned just so. As a short person, it's actually not easy to carry the stroller with one hand while folded, which I think is supposed to be a major selling point of a one-handed fold. Also, I've seen other reviews of previous models that rave about the compactness of the stroller when folded, but this stroller takes up the entire trunk of our Subaru Impreza, so we can never fit anything else substantial back there. Personally, I would rather have to use both hands to achieve a more compact, more stable self-standing fold. Our full-sized modular stroller is significantly heavier than the city mini GT2, but it folds in such a way that I can pull it along behind me so it seems easier to handle while folded. I thought this stroller was supposed to come with a carry bag, so that may have made a difference to the portability, but we did not receive one in our package. The stroller did ship with car seat adapters, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of the stroller as a travel system since our toddler outgrew his infant car seat months ago. Overall, I enjoyed using this stroller. There are lots of pros, and most of the cons I listed are purely personal preferences as a short person with a small-ish car and limited storage space. But I do think that this is a great stroller that would meet the typical needs of most families! Thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for sending us the stroller to try out!

A dream to push!
April 25, 2019
I received the new Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 as part of the weeSpring parent panel and have loved using it with my 18 month old. The new look is sleek and stylish, the lines are far more modern looking than past versions, and as usual the push is sublime. I have the 2016/2017 model of this same stroller so it was interesting to do a direct comparison on the new features. The most notable was the new calf-rest for the little ones. My daughter loved this new feature, and it is super simple to lift the panel to set it up. Other changes include the new design for the basket. The horizontal bar on the frame has been raised a little and is now straight, rather than curved, which makes it easier to put items into the basket. It's still not as convenient as other stroller baskets, but it is a definite improvement. The hand brake has been moved from the side of the stroller, to the back side of the frame. This makes it less likely to catch anything on it, but when the hood is pushed back it is a little awkward to release. It's not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of. The main reason I bought the 2016/2017 version was because the handle bar adjusts down for shorter parents, like myself. I loved that feature but unfortunately the handle on the GT2 version doesn't go any lower than running parallel to the ground (at approx. 37.5"), but does still extend upward for taller parents. The harness is fantastic, and well padded. The hood is still as great as ever, and the peekaboo windows are now magnet which means no more velcro noises waking little ones! The recline is still the same simple mechanism which makes it easy to adjust to any position. And of course, the fold is one of the major selling points of this stroller - the one handed fold is amazing! The stroller came with the adaptors for the Baby Jogger car seat, and others can be purchased separately for different car seats. Overall we love this stroller, it pretty much pushes itself and is a dream going over uneven terrain in the park or cobblestones.

Versatile, Durable, Luxury Stroller

This stroller has been so wonderful to use! It fits nicely in my trunk and is the EASIEST stroller to fold EVER! I haven't ever owned anything other than a basic little stroller, so this was definitely the best upgrade! I was shocked by how easily it folded, one pull on the handle and you're done. I also really liked the adjustable handle. My husband is much taller than I am. Being able to have a higher handle when he is pushing our children makes him much happier. I also really enjoyed the leg rest. When my middle daughter fell asleep in the stroller we were able to prop her legs up and she said it was much more comfortable. The sunshade is HUGE and blocks out so much of the harmful rays! It was great when we visited a local farm. My 10 month old was in the shade and didn't get bumped around on the roots and gravel. The ride was smooth even on the rough ground. I feel so lucky to be part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and receive this amazing stroller to review.
