Baby Jogger - City Mini 2

Try a baby jogger city mini (we have the V2). It’s as durable as a giant stroller and has big wheels but is super light and a true one hand fold. It’s the only stroller we’ve ever had because it’s sturdy enough for every day and easy enough for travel.

+ 1 for Baby Jogger - they are great. We had city mini 2 with our first. -1 for bugaboo - we bought a 2nd hand one initially for our first. Biggest pain in the ass to fold. Hated it and sold it within a couple of weeks (and 2 out of house trips with it) of getting it

We had a Baby Jogger City Mini 2 and loved it. It is fairly compact and light (as in compact and light for everyday use but it’s not a travel stroller and would not fit in an overhead locker of a plane). It folds easily but unsure if it’s technically a “one handed fold”. I know the City Mini GT2 is marketed as a one hand fold and looks very similar so would be worth having a play with one at Baby Bunting 😊

Cot - ikea Sniglar. Cheap, good quality, safe, converts to a toddler bed with no additional pieces. Whatever cot you decide to buy, make sure you get a fixed side one. Our safety standards are outdated but drop side cots are banned in some countries because of the risk. Car seat - make sure you get one that offers extended rear facing. We like britax. We have the britax millenia which is no longer sold but they do a similar more compact seat - britax Graphene. Pram - you need to test drive these. We bought a bugaboo off marketplace and absolutely hated it, so glad we didn’t buy new. Ended up loving our Baby Jogger city mini 2 which is easy to use and no frills. Make sure you can fit the pram easily in your car boot.

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.

My stroller lived in the trunk of my tiny sedan for 2 years. I had the baby jogger city mini 2. I am a small skinny woman and it was light enough for me to deal with by myself. It reclines all the way flat for newborns.

This was our one and only, I was happy with it.

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

I’m still using my citi mini 2 jogging stroller for my 7 year old. I get some looks but the ease of mind from not having him elope is just huge for me

Yeah I don’t know what the deal is with that- credit cards? Rich family? Who knows! We got as much as we could used. Inherited a Citi Mini stroller set and it has worked great! We did buy new carseats and chose the safest ones that are moderately priced. Chicco Key Fit for infant and Graco Extend to Fit for toddler. Used the carseat lady and consumer reports to make these choices. You don’t need to spend a ton to have safe and quality gear!

Citi mini. I actually purchased one after renting it at Disney

Purchase a used citi mini from Facebook marketplace or any second hand store. It will be cheaper than your rental and you can use it for future trips. We purchased one for 40 bucks and took it on 7 trips easily. Another tip, make or purchase a sign to put on the handles so you can identify your stroller quickly. At some point it will get moved so you can't depend on just knowing where you parked it. We always drive so it makes it easy. We were about to sell it but a relative just had a kid so it's going to them.
