Baby Jogger City Mini
- Lightweight
- Wide, reclining seat
- Easy to fold
- Excellent for travel
- Limited storage space
- Lack of accessories
- Child can't sit fully upright
- No standing fold
Most parents and professional reviewers give the Baby Jogger City Mini high marks. They like its quick and easy one-handed fold, excellent maneuverability and lightweight frame, and say the stroller is ideal for traveling thanks to its tight collapse. Although storage space is limited, owners appreciate that it's greater than that of comparable models like the Quinny Zapp . Reviewers note that the City Mini lacks additional accessories; parent trays, belly bars and cupholders must be purchased separately.
Several users say the seat is uncomfortable for some children because it doesn't adjust to a fully upright position and has limited back support. Baby Jogger has made adjustments to the 2011 model, including a removable back support pad and an additional upright position. Parents should note that Baby Jogger issued a voluntary recall in 2009 on strollers sold between November 2007 and February 2009 because of a faulty restraint buckle. The company offers a free replacement buckle for these strollers, but owners should be aware of possible problems with strollers that were made and bought during that time period.
The Baby Jogger City Mini has fewer formal reviews than many of its sister models, but owner feedback is plentiful. BabyGizmo.com has the most complete review of the City Mini, even though it's more than 2 years old. Buzzillions.com compiles nearly 425 owner reviews, several of which provide detailed comments regarding the stroller's positives and negatives. Amazon.com features about 85 owner reviews, with a large majority ranking the stroller very highly.

5. Infant Product Reviews
Infant Product Reviews features many strollers, but who the reviewers are and what testing methods they use is unclear. The evaluation is brief and short on details, but editors say they like the City Mini's smooth ride and quick-fold technology. The stroller loses points due to a lack of accessories.

6. Stroller Queen Reviews
Self-described "stroller queen" Janet McLaughlin is enthusiastic about the Baby Jogger City Mini, but doesn't provide an in-depth analysis. While she appreciates its wide seats and deep recline, she says the storage basket is limited. McLaughlin does a mini-comparison with the Quinny Zapp (*Est. $220) but doesn't conclusively decide which stroller is better.
