Easy, Light-Weight, and Practical
February 17, 2018
We have tried 3 types of strollers for baby girl: 1 infant travel system that worked with car seat, and 2 baby joggers. With each stroller the most important features for us are ease of folding and unfolding, versatility, smoothness of the ride, and comfort for baby girl. weeSpring Parent Panel gave us the opportunity to try out the City Tour Lux Baby Jogger and it met our expectations on many levels, with some extras. The first thing we noticed is that this stroller requires a pretty intricate set-up (come with pictures) that are not necessarily very easy to follow. However, once set up the everyday use is very easy and practical. Secondly, the City Tour Lux Baby Jogger is extremely light-weight, which makes it feel a bit flimsy, but once in use we found it to be quite sturdy. The wheels on this stroller are not very large, which makes handling rough terrain (bumps in the road, debris, etc.) a bit difficult. On smooth ground the ride is absolutely wonderful! Our favorite feature of this stroller is its one-handed folding. The button the collapses the stroller takes some getting used to, as you have to slide a tab while simultaneously pushing a button underneath; but once you master that the folding is really quite simple. The stroller collapses completely upon pulling up on the seat handle. Note: the seat must be in front-facing position to fold. We also love the versatility of this stroller and that changing baby girl from front-facing to rear facing is really easy, you can manually lift the seat and turn it around then click it back into the stroller base. Another aspect that I really appreciate is the hand brake, no foot pedals or stubbed toes, the hand brake engages with a switch and is released with a button. The seat reclines with a one-handed push of a button, the leg rest can be reclined with a two-handed push of two buttons underneath, and it comes with a magnetic viewing flap that allows me to check on a sleeping babe. Awesome! While the front wheels have the option of locking into place with a button on each wheel that can be pushed down into place, we found that the stroller rode best when the front wheels were free. This stroller folds like a dream and is the most compact and light-weight of any stroller we have tried, making it perfect for our on-the-go lifestyle. It's really nice when we don't feel like we are packing up the entire house to take a day trip, the City Tour Lux Baby Jogger definitely lightens the load. Also, the additions that can be purchased for this stroller make it quite versatile and useful for many years (infant pram, glider, snack tray) and we look forward to adding them to our collection. Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for giving us the opportunity to try the City Tour Lux Baby Jogger; we love it!
