Stroller reviews

In this Baby Jogger City Mini post, we will review what is good and bad about this stroller so that you can be guided on your next stroller.

Overview

The Baby Jogger City Mini Stroller is an umbrella stroller that can be used for jogging and running. It is lightweight and compact that it can be used for extended time. Its design is sleek and not obtrusive that is good for family outings. This is a better option than the usual umbrella stroller that is bulky and a hassle to travel with.

The stroller weighs about 19 lbs. It is easy to fold up and carry it with one hand once your child decided to go for a little walk on the stroller. This is possible because of the one hand folding feature of the Baby Jogger City Mini, it locks the stroller in place for easy carrying and transport.

It has also canopy that is large and provide UV protection of 50+. It can be adjusted to whatever your child’s need.

This stroller is not meant to be a jogging stroller, but this is capable of being one. The swivel front wheels can be locked in place which is perfect for long walks or you have the option to remain them on the swivel position especially for navigating through street crowds in the city.

When it comes to comfort the Baby Jogger City Mini seat can recline in a nearly flat position. It has breathable mesh that gives your child enough ventilation for optimum comfort.

By purchasing an adapter, you can use the stroller right away if you have a newborn.

Features

Here are the features of the Baby Jogger City Mini:

Seat

The seat of the Mini is padded to give its passenger comfort. It has a footrest that is durable and wide which is made of great material to stand the test of time, but the leg rest is not adjustable though. It as a seat recline that you can use by pushing it with one hand, but in order to raise it you need to use your two hands. The recline mechanism is consist of two side straps that is held together in the middle with a plastic pull that keeps the back upright and keeps the tension.

Harness

The City Mini has a harness that is 5-point that can be put easily. Buckle though on this stroller is an average one compared to other strollers of the same type. Another downside for me is the shoulder strap which is a bit challenging to adjust. The harness can be adjusted in three ways and it has a crotch strap also that can be adjusted.

Sunshade

A large sunshade can be found on the City Mini. It has two vinyl windows that can reach its cover to the knee. What is not good about this vinyl window is that it has glare on them making them hard to see through. Closures of the windows are made out of Velcro and the canopy overall has UV 50 +.

Storage

The City Mini has a medium sized storage bin located under the seat. It is a bit hard to access because of the seat and a frame bar that hinder smooth access to it. It has a maximum carrying capacity of 10 pounds. There is also a pocket on the back that is made of narrow mesh, this can be used for storing essentials such as phone, keys, and other things.

Brakes

When it comes to brake system the Baby Jogger City Mini has one located in the middle of the axle. It is easy to access and release. It is placed away from the wheels to avoid interference. The pedal is foot friendly because it is easy to press and release.

Folding and Unfolding

When it comes to folding the Baby Jogger City Mini can be folded in just one step. You can do this by just pulling up the handle that can be found on the seat. It automatically locks in place one you fold it. A carry strap is provided for easy carrying. It does not self-stand though like other strollers.

When unfolding, it is a two-step process and it is quite easy.

Weight and Folded Size

When it comes to weigh the Jogger City Mini weighs 17.5 pounds and considered as one of the lightest strollers in its group. It only measures 4.80 cubic feet when folded.

Maneuverability

When it comes to maneuvering the City Mini is easy to push. It has dual front wheels that helps it to be pushed and turned easily. It responds great when it comes to navigating through tight places without bumping into something. When it comes to rough terrains the front wheels stay focused and cannot be tugged off course by pebbles and small stones.

The City Mini can be pushed with one hand, thanks to its front wheel suspension. The handlebar is covered by rubber makes it soft to the touch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Expandable with a glider board to accommodate an older child.

Nearly flat seat reclines which is perfect for napping on the go.

Can be folded with one hand and has auto lock.

With peek a boo windows to check on your little one without disturbing your baby.

A large canopy that has UV 50+ for your child protection.

Cons

You need to buy accessories to use the stroller fully.

The under-seat storage bin is difficult to access.

Verdict

The Baby Jogger City Mini is a great umbrella stroller especially for those who live in the cities. It is packed with features that you can only find in full-sized stroller. It is durable that you are sure it will be used for so many years to come.

In this City Select Lux review we will have a detailed look on what is good and bad of this stroller to help you decide if this product is for you.

Overview

The Baby Jogger City Select Lux is a bigger convertible stroller. It can accommodate multiple children. This stroller boasts a modern, superb design that is imminent upon first look. It has two same size seats that can carry weight of 45 lbs each. Unlike other convertibles that has unequal seats. The City Select Lux if popular among parents who has kids that are farther apart in age.

Because it is spacious, the Baby Jogger City Select Lux is not maneuverable. It is quiet long that is why it is hard to steer and maneuver. It is of a challenge when you push this stroller on a not smooth terrain. But on a flat surface there is no problem.

A bassinet or car seat is compatible with the City Select Lux because the seat on it is not suitable for children under 6 months. You can also buy many accessories that you can use with the Lux but you need to spend a little more because these are sold separately. Please take not that it does not come with a cup holder which is not good.

Features that are Great

Here are the things that we like with the Baby Jogger City Select Lux:

Car Seat Compatibility

When it come to car seat compatibility the City Select Lux is compatible with the Peg Perego, Nuna, Maxi Cosi, Graco, Cybex, Chicco and Britax car seats, you need to buy a separate adapter though to make it work.

Braking

The Lux has a handbrake instead of the usual foot break. It is easy to use and can also act as a decelerator when you are navigating through steep terrain.

Wheel and Suspensions

The wheels on the City Select Lux is filled with foam, this can give a smooth ride on uneven surfaces. Suspension on this stroller is not good but you need to think that this is not an off-road stroller, so it is not that smooth to maneuver on dirt road, sand, and gravel. But there is a trick to make it run on grass, you just need to lock the front wheels.

Configuration

When it comes the configuration, the Lux can be configured in many ways. It is a double stroller so you can carry multiple babies at the same time. You can place the top seat to face forward while the bottom seat to face the rear, with this config you can let your babies face each other.

The only downside though is that there not enough legroom for both your babies, but this is great for twins especially it will allow eye to eye contact between the babies and also allowing them to play with each other.

Convertibility

The Lux can be converted to a double stroller with a bench or another seat and also with a Glider Board. If you have twins or children that of the same age you can carry it on this stroller you just need to add another seat or a bench seat if your child is older. A third child can be added with a Glider board. You need to note tough that these additional seats are sold separately.

Storage Basket

The storage basket of this stroller is big enough and huge. You can store a lot of essentials while you are on the go. Even if it is a double stroller, it does not eat up the space for the storage bin.

Recline and Footrest

The recline of this stroller is deep but is not reclined completely flat. If you have a newborn, you need a carrycot or a bassinet to use this stroller for infants.

Folding

When it comes to folding, this stroller can be folded in a small footprint. It is smaller compared to the City Select and Vista. You need to remove the second seat and fold the primary seat in order to completely fold the stroller.

Seat

Seats on the Vista are like most inline strollers, but it is different in its own way. It has leg and footrests that are adjustable and can be moved up and down. The footrest is made of plastic and wide while the leg can be adjusted to what angle you like.

Both the seats on the Vista comes with recline features. These recline feature can be adjusted using the push button located at the top back of the seat. The two seats can recline into many configurations, the front seat can recline into 4 positions while the back can do 6. When both are facing forward, recline is less because of the leg rest of the backseat.

Harness

When it comes to harness, the Vista has a 5-point harness. This harness is easy to put on and off and is adjustable. It comes also with a shoulder strap that can be adjusted according to your child’s height. The straps material is made from non-rethread which is simple and quicker to use than others.

Weight and Folded Size

The Vista weighs 32.3 pounds with the second seat attached. When folded it measures approximately more than 28 thousand cubic inches. Generally, this stroller is large and heavy, which is a con of this stroller.

Maneuverability

When it comes to this area, the Vista has great maneuverability even if it is not a jogging stroller. Its wheels are made of rubber rather than plastic. When it comes to turning and pushing on hard surfaces, Vista performs decently. Even on grass the Vista performs well. While on uneven surfaces the Vista get caught up on holes and bumps same when passed through gravel.

The Vista has an adjustable handlebar. It is high enough that you can avoid kicking the rear of the stroller when walking. The handle is covered in leather and foam makes it easier to hold and push. It has an adjustment button on the center which prevent you from pushing the stroller one handedly.

The Vista has a sling-style seats that has shocks and padding all around. The seat is comfortable enough even if the ride is bumpy.

Verdict

Overall, this stroller is a standout. It is one of the few strollers in the market that can hold multiple children at once making it perfect for big families. The only setback is it is quite heavy and not ideal for travel in an airplane or subway.

That ends my Uppababy Vista Double review. Hope you enjoy the article, see you on the next one.

The specifics of each feature on this Uppababy Minu review will be discussed on the following paragraphs.

Car Seat Compatibility

Car seat compatibility is available in Uppababay Minu, especially for newborns and infants. You can choose its own Uppababy MESA and other car seats brands such as Maxi Cosi, Cybex and Nuna. This compatibility is a big thumbs up for Minu, not every lightweight stroller is compatible with infant car seats. You need a special adaptor though to make it work.

Canopy

The Uppababy Minu has two large panels of canopy that is UPF 50 plus which is huge enough to cover your baby against the weather. It has also a sun visor that pops out and can provide a full coverage and protects your babies from sun rays. The sun visor can be tucked in neatly and it is not taking so much space and provides you need protection when needed. A peekaboo window made out of dark mesh is also provided which is large enough to allow air to circulate especially on hot days. A magnetic closure is used in the peekaboo window instead of the usual Velcro, which for me is great feature because Velcro for me is noisy and sometimes awaken the child.

Handlebar

The handlebar of the Uppababy Minu is in a great height above ground at specifically 42 inches, which is at a great height for a compact fold stroller. It is not adjustable though which is not good for too tall or too short parents. It is covered in leather though that will give you a nice grip.

Wheels

Wheels on the Uppababy Minu are rubber wheels. The front and the back wheels have different sizes, the front is smaller while the back wheels are bigger. The front wheels pivot making the stroller easy to navigate because it is agile. Compared to other lightweight strollers of this specification, the Minu wheels are of typical sized. These wheels though are great for city dwellers and great for flat surfaces like pavements, sidewalks, subways, malls and parks. I am afraid these wheels will not perform well on bumpy dirt roads.

The Minu is equipped with all wheel suspension that is not common on lightweight strollers. It may have small wheels, but the suspensions compliment it, giving your child a smooth and less bumpy ride. It can handle sidewalks cracks and some gravel path smoothly.

For the breaks the stroller has two pedals, one for locking the wheels not to move and one for releasing it. The breaks provided is easy to use, for locking you just need to press the right-side pedal and indicated with a red indicator, while for unlocking you need to press the left side pedal with a green indicator.

Storage Basket

You will surprise on how the Minu has a large storage basket despite it is a lightweight stroller. The basket is located under the seat and can hold up things up to 20 pounds of weight. Essentials like diapers, bottle of water and extra clothing can easily fit on the under-seat storage basket. It is easy to access from both the front and back which a big plus. There is also separate pocket located in the back of the seat for storing your keys, phones wallet and other valuables.

Weight

The Minu is compact and lightweight. It only weighs 14.8 pounds which is light enough to be carried with one hand and a shoulder strap is also provided so you can carry it just like a sling bag. It lightweight enough to be easily taken out of the car trunk and can be carried up and down stairs, especially for those do the daily commute through the subway.

Folding

Uppababy Minu is a compact stroller and can be easily folded with one hand in just a few seconds. This stroller is extremely handy especially when you have a toddler who can already walk. Toddlers can walk for a few meters but can rest a little bit when tired. When your toddler wants to walk, the Minu can easily be folded and be carried on your shoulder using the strap with ease.

The Minu can be folded by itself, you just have to press the two buttons located in the handlebar, slide one button to thee side and gently press the one and the Minu will be folded right away. Its easy peasy, the stroller can also stand on its own and locks itself automatically when folded. To unfold it you just need to unlatch it before opening.

The Minu takes a very small space and perfect for parents with a smaller car. Additionally, if your apartment is a bit small the stroller can be stored without any problem. Included in the box when you purchase a Minu is a storage bag to keep your stroller and prevent it from getting dirty when you are travelling.

Although is takes up a small space the Minu cannot be considered as a carry-on baggage on planes and it cannot fit on the overhead compartment of planes. The dimensions of the Minu when folded is 11.5 by 20.5 by 23 so it is beyond as a carry on.

If you have a basinnet for your infant, the Minu can be folded together with the bassinet. This is very convenient because you don’t have to remove the bassinet and re attached it when needed.

Verdict

In this Uppababy Minu review I will rate this stroller 4 out of 5. It is lightweight and portable. The one that stands out for me is how the canopy is very generous. It is wide and with the added sun visor for me it is a great feature. The seat is very wide and will provide so much room for your baby. Together with the harness that is a plus for me. The fact that you can carry it on a shoulder strap is a great feature especially for those parents that are travelers and do the daily commute. The only downside for me is the handlebar because it cannot be adjusted and the small wheels.

Overall this stroller is a superb stroller and I highly recommend this one for parents out there.

That’s it for my Uppababy Minu review. I really hope this review article is a great help for you. See you on the next one.

Features

Now let us proceed on the stroller’s many features in this Bugaboo Ant review. This stroller is first among the brand to make a stroller that is ultra-compact for travel.  This makes the stroller offer something that is new in the stroller market which is competitive as ever.

This is the moment of truth, let us go to the individual features this stroller possesses and find all the details about the Ant.

Seat

First on our list is the seat on the Bugaboo Ant which is completely different compared to other strollers in the market. This product has a reversible seat. It is very important, and you can appreciate it once you are parent yourself.

Us parents wants our children to be in our sight always, so with this reversible seat on this stroller you can adjust your baby to face you while on a walk to a park or on the sidewalk. This feature comes handy also when your baby is all grown up and wants to ride the stroller facing out. Toddlers wants to explore and is more interested on the surrounding. Sao having this kind of feature on a stroller is rare and very useful. Not to mention the stroller is one of the few lightweight products out in the market.

Another worth mentioning about the seat on this product is that you can make your toddler sit really up. This is a rare feature in strollers, this is handy when your toddler gets board or uneasy in sitting in a reclined position. And when your kid wants to rest or sleep, this stroller offers a near flat recline. Naps on the go is a breeze because they can snuggle perfectly flat while in the move.

All of these adjustments can be done conveniently with one hand. No straps are required to lower or raising the backrest, a lever is what it takes to do all these adjustments.

Car Seat Compatibility

Like I said the Bugaboo Ant is a lightweight stroller that can be attached in an infant car seat. You need a special adapter though to connect the stroller to the car seat. These following adapters are the only ones that were tested to be compatible the Nuna Pipa Lite, Cybex Aton, Clek Liing and Maxi Cosi. These are sold separately and does not come with the stroller.

Canopy

Most lightweight strollers for travel have small canopies and parents complain how it is not enough in providing shade against sunlight. But on the Bugaboo Ant it has an extendable UPF50+ canopy that is helpful in providing protection from sunlight. Although when your baby is laying flat the canopy provide smaller amount of shade but compared to other lightweight strollers it is better.  And it has also a peek-a-boo window that is made of mesh that can also provide extra ventilation.

Handlebar

The handlebar on the Bugaboo Ant is adjustable. It is one of a few lightweight strollers that has this feature. This telescoping handlebar is helpful for those parents that has a taller height and have longer legs. This provides enough space behind the stroller to avoid accidentally kicking the stroller when walking.

So, if you and your husband are a contrast in terms of height, you will surely love this feature of the Bugaboo Ant. The best part of the handlebar is that the top part rotates, so you can adjust it to minimize wrist pains after a long walk. To give you an idea the handlebar slides like a suitcase handle.

Wheels

The tires on wheels of the Bugaboo Ant is filled with foam it is sturdy and can withstand the weight of its passenger. It mimics an air-filled tire. The front wheels are 4.7 inches in size while the rear ones are 5,9 inches. The tires are small though and they are not ideal for off roading and bumpy terrains. This stroller is more of a city or urban living. It works wheel on paved sidewalks with few cracks, grass and others. A suspension is provided of course both in the back and front for smoother rides.

Storage Basket

Another great feature of the Ant is how large the storage basket. It can carry up to 17 pounds capacity, perfect for all the small things to carry wherever you go. The basket is divided into two parts. The front one is perfect for diaper storage and other cloth stuff. The basket has an easy access front for getting something in and out of the storage basket with ease.

For the rear part of the basket a pouch with a mesh is located where you can store things like phone, wallets or purses. This too is easy to access pouch even if the stroller is folded. If you choose to make the Ant as a carry on, you can put some toys, snacks and other necessities on the pouch and keep them always at arm’s reach.

Weight

With all these jam-packed features of the Bugaboo Ant you may wonder if it would affect the weight of it and make it heavier compared to other similar strollers. But no, the Ant stays lightweight and weighs only 15.8 pounds. So, carrying it anywhere like on higher floors or grounds or whether your loading it on the car is not a problem for sure.

Folding

Although folding the Bugaboo Ant is a bit complicated and will entail practice, you will love how compact the size of this stroller when folded. It requires a few steps, starts with closing the seat and lifting two toggles once is fully folded. These white toggles are located on the both sides of the stroller frames. Once you have done the following the stroller collapses into a compact package that can resemble a suitcase. You can watch a video here on how the whole process unfolds.

Like a suitcase also you can just pull up the handlebar and adjust according to your height and pull it like one. This is super convenient especially in navigating crowded places like the airport. Of course, when your reach your destination or your plane, you can slide back the handle and rotate it down for easy storage and fits perfectly on overhead storage on planes.

The folded Bugaboo Ant dimension of 9.03 by 14.96 by 21.65 inches meets the carry-on regulation of some airlines and you can carry it on board. This is the number one reason why traveling parents love the Ant.
