Baby Jogger - city mini® GT2 travel system

At one point we had like 8 lol. They all have such different use cases! A city mini travel system we got when we had our first. Sold it once our 2nd baby was out of the infant car seat. We also had a Doona and loved that. Sold both when he got too big. We had a City Mini double (someone in my parents rich neighborhood was giving it away! And then they paid $$$ to ship it to us, lol.) that we just used around the neighborhood because it was too bulky and a pain to take in the car with the second seat. (Sold this one) A evenflo pivot stroller wagon we took around. A $50 costco wagon that folded up and fit in the car really well. For a while we stopped using the pivot because this one was just easier. A double umbrella we only used for traveling or kept in the trunk, it was a pain because it was short so the adult had to hunch to push. But it was small, we took it on planes to visit my parents. (Sold this one, kids are 6 and 3 now) A GB pockit amazing fold up tiny single stroller. Perfect for travel, took it to NYC and on a cruise. A urbini reversi single stroller, we kept that one even though we used it rarely because it was the only one that could recline super flat for the kid to sleep that had okay storage underneath. After we sold the big double stroller we decided to take the kids to Disney World and I realized wagons weren’t allowed. We considered taking 2 single strollers and quickly abandoned that idea and bought a Graco Sit and Stand double stroller on marketplace for $50 that we love and take with us when we go places like the Zoo and stuff now. Good storage, our older kid can stand or sit and hop on and off easily.

Uppa Baby G Luxe, or Baby Jogger City Mini 2. My daughters are 19, and 15 now but I had early versions of Uppa Baby Vista and it was a great stroller. Very much a BIFL quality item. Go to the store and try a bunch out and get the one with the easiest fold. We had a Maclaren Triumph stroller and it was great; so sad the company went out of business.

Yup, this is the one right here. I live in 300 year old American city with cracked sidewalks, potholes, constant construction, you name it. The Citi Mini braved it all without breaking a sweat, and gave us a lot of really good memories. Love that damn thing.

We bought a caddy type stroller (babytrend snap & go) when our twins were first born. Really convenient and easy to take around. I waited until black friday to SPLURGEEEEE on not 1 but 2 babyjoggers 😅. Theyre 30% on black friday plus either amazon (15% off) or target (15% + 5% if using red card) completion discount. Getting 2 was only a bit more than getting 1 when not on sale. It worked in our favor bc they were born only a few months away from black friday. Ok we love both the babyjogger double strollers so I imagine the single versions would be amazing as well. The mini gt2 is so smooth and easy to take them shopping and around the city in. Also got the summit x3 because that is an actual jogging stroller (mini gt2 is not). I get such a good workout in with that one. Both worth the purchase and the wait. We still use the caddy as well for more tight places like the doctors office…will be using that one for as long as they fit in their infant carseat.

I got the citi mini gt2 and I don't love it. We loved our bugaboo fox but the 2 part fold was a ball ache. The baby jogger harness is crap and the seat isn't upright enough for my liking. Not sure how it gets so many good reviews. Mountain buggy is far superior in terms of handling and harness etc, wish we'd got one of those!

With a newborn, you’re going to need to spend the money and deal with the weight. We got the [Baby Jogger City Mini stroller and car seat set.](https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Jogger-City-Travel-System/dp/B07YCNSM4J/) It was super nice for the first year. Being able to go from car seat to stroller and back without having to unbuckle the kid was really nice. Our kid is nearing 2, and that’s still his car seat. When he could sit on his own, we changed the stroller to the [Babyzen Yoyo.](https://www.amazon.com/Babyzen-YOYO2-Stroller-Black-Canopy/dp/B0857159B3/) That’s the one that hits everything you listed. $450, super light, well built and sturdy, and it packs up so small that it fits in the overhead compartment of an airplane. Just got back from a trip with the kid and didn’t have to check the stroller. Just popped it overhead, and it’s the same stroller we use everyday on the streets of Philadelphia. The only downside is that it’s not appropriate for a newborn. They need to be able to sit up on their own before you can use the Babyzen Yoyo.

I have the uppa baby vista with the piggy back but ended up getting a Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 with their ride along attachment and love it. I got it for airports because it’s much smaller and better for rental cars (I have three kids and often travel with grandparents… space is premium). I use it more than the uppa baby now. The ride along attachment is a little trickier to get on and off quickly, but just takes some practice. Uppa baby does have a lot more storage underneath, which I do miss sometimes with the baby jogger and could be a consideration for Disney. Baby jogger is easier to collapse in my opinion.

Baby jogger city mini gt2.... my friends used this for all their kids until late (we're city people so walk everywhere). Its on sale now on Amazon too. Anyways cannot recommend this one enough. First started with my friends who lived in a triplex and needed one hand to open/close etc and then I eventually met more moms in the city who all bought the same one (except you won't have big storage below). They used it throughout Winter etc. I had a borrowed one eventually with kiddo#2 and my favourite to date

No no nooooo to Graco. Had it with my first and terrible on trails. Had both the 4 wheeled stroller and later thr 3 wheeler and hated everything Graco. For trails the 3 wheeled ones like Uppababy Ridge (heavy AF but good... I forget which carseat we got that works) Thule and BoB (which has dreamy suspension for bouncy paths) Uppababy Ridge has bassinet option too (and fantastic in Winter with sidewalks aren't cleared). I hated the cost of Uppababy strollers but they DO last (speaking again, as someone who uses it 4hrs+ a day for walking and daycare/school dropoffs + grocery runs etc for years). Its why they're usually still expensive on FB Marketplace as they last  You can always check your local parenting FB groups and ask. We got the Uppababy Ridge new,  but got the bassinet/carseat/etc all used after asking around and they were all solid and in great condition.  But forget Graco... Ive tried a few strollers (i used it daily instead of a car so really went through a lot with two kids) and legit dont know why Graco is ever recommended, just cheaply made and cheap quality. Even Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 might be an option for you ETA: I was just at the pool today and saw out of the corner of my eye a mom wheeling by in a stroller and I just heard "squeak  squeak " and thought "ah must be a Graco " ... it was. And its not the wheels that squeak, its the entire stroller frame

Baby Jogger City Mini 2 served us very well and we did a LOT of long distance walking

I also started with a Graco, but switched to Uppababy! The Graco was too bulky for me and we rarely clipped the car seat into the stroller. We ended up continuing to use the Graco car seat but got a Minu because it was smaller and more lightweight.
