Baby Jogger City Mini Double

Pros
  • Good value
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to fold
  • Good maneuverability
Cons
  • Few extras included
  • Accessories are expensive

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. $670) and Mountain Buggy Urban Double (*Est. $725). Reviewers particularly 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 cupholder and no rain hood; you can buy those accessories as add-ons, but they're expensive. In 2009, this stroller was recalled for faulty buckles, but models manufactured on or after Feb. 8, 2009, are equipped with redesigned buckles.

The Baby Jogger City Mini Double stroller is reviewed in a general way in the book "Baby Bargains." There aren't yet many user reviews for this stroller, but we did find a handful of comments at JoggingStroller.com, along with a write-up at People.com's Celebrity Baby Blog. We've also included a link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall page for this stroller.

4. Celebrity Baby Blog

This review in People.com's Celebrity Baby Blog 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.
