Our Analysis

The Baby Jogger City Mini Double is an all-terrain stroller, with two swiveling front wheels. On the plus side, this stroller is much less expensive than other strollers of this type, including the Bumbleride Indie Twin (*Est. $660) and Mountain Buggy Urban Double (*Est. $750). Reviewers particular praise the Baby Jogger stroller's maneuverability and easy folding, along with its weight of 26 pounds. However, this is a bare-bones stroller with no parent console, no cup holder and no rain hood; you can buy those accessories as add-ons, but they're expensive. In addition, be aware that this stroller has a recent recall associated with it for faulty buckles.

The Baby Jogger City Mini Double stroller gets a rave review in Cookie magazine's recent roundup of 10 double strollers. It's also mentioned in a more general way in the book "Baby Bargains." There aren't yet many user reviews for this new stroller, but we did find a handful of comments at JoggingStroller.com, along with a writeup at Celebrity Baby Blog. We've also included a link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall page for this stroller.

In this excellent 10-stroller roundup, the Baby Jogger City Mini Double gets some of the highest scores for excellent maneuverability, light weight and value compared with other all-terrain strollers. However, parents gripe that there aren't many extras -- no parent console, no cup holder, no rain hood. You can add those accessories at extra cost, but they're expensive.

5. Celebrity Baby Blog

This review does appear to be based on hands-on testing, but the review itself isn't very critical. High points include an easy folding mechanism and the light weight. The only quibble is that the author would have liked a locking strap to secure the stroller in its folded position.
