City Tour 2

We have a Baby Jogger City Tour 2 travel stroller with the adapters for our Graco carseat, and we use this combination for almost everything. It's great for car and air travel, but also just as a small around-town stroller. It's great for bringing into casual restaurants and places like breweries and food halls, and also great for shopping trips. We also have a Graco Modes Pramette that we got second hand and use that with a separate bassinet attachment (the convertible seat/bassinet is pretty wobbly so we don't use it anymore), but since it's pretty big we only use it for walks around the neighborhood and don't take it along with us when we drive anywhere. We did this once and it was a PITA and barely fit in my SUV! Now we just take the baby jogger everywhere, and now that my baby is 3 months and can hold her head up better, we feel comfortable using the baby jogger in the recline mode (it's not all the way flat) if we don't keep her in the carseat atrached. She's still too small for being strolled around in the baby jogger alone without the carseat (she's tiny and the stroller straps are still pretty loose on her), but eventually we'll use it as our only stroller and get rid of the Graco one.

TL;DR: I thought I'd like the convertible seat concept but in practice I found it was bulky and it ended up being better for us to use a separate bassinet attachment or a compact travel stroller that has a near flat recline. I have the Graco Modes Pramette and bought it because I liked the idea of its versatility to convert from bassinet to toddler seat. I thought it would be much more convenient than having a separate bassinet, especially for traveling so I wouldn't have to bring a bunch of gear. However, it is really big and barely fits in the back of my SUV when folded! Also, idk if this is due to buying it second hand or if it's the same way new but the seat/bassinet is really wobbly when attached and I didn't feel comfortable using it on any bumpy roads or sidewalks. I'm also not a fan of the maneuverability of the stroller itself because it doesn't really turn all that well, especially with only one hand if I have something in the other hand. We found an open box sale of the separate Graco bassinet attachment that works with all of the click connect strollers and liked that a lot more than the convertible seat. We now only use the separate bassinet and not the convertible seat. We use it for neighborhood walks and occasional outings where we will have our baby in a stroller for a long time because I didn't like the idea of her sitting in the car seat attached to the stroller for too long (we have a Graco car seat so it works seamlessly with the stroller too). What we've ended up using a lot more is a Baby Jogger City Tour 2 (a small, compact travel stroller) with the Graco car seat attachment so we can use our car seat with it. We use this combo both for quick trips and times where we can get to a destination and have space to take the car seat off and lay baby down in the stroller (it has a near-flat recline) for laying down while stationary and for naps. We even did this when her head control was not great yet and she did fine (I was initially worried about the near-flat not being okay for a wobbly newborn head). Now at 5 months, she has good head control and is bigger and we're almost at the point where we can just strap her in the stroller for walks and she would be fine. She's a small 6th percentile baby so she hasn't been big enough for that until now! This stroller is way better for maneuverability and is nice and compact for traveling, so it's become more of our go-to.

Mor til 2 her. Jeg vil anbefale at købe en barnevogn med stort liggemål. De kan bruges længe og jeg har bare rigtig tit set forældre, der skulle ud og have fat i endnu en barnevogn, fordi barnet er vokset ud af den. Vi fik store børn og allerede ved 6 måneder ville de have været ude af de “små” vogne. Vores børn brugte barnevogn til 3 år. Og så køb en klapvogn ved siden af. Da vi fik nr 2, var vi mega glade for hver at kunne gå med et barn eller dele vogne og børn op, hvis vi skulle noget hver for sig eller lign. Vi havde en emmaljunga Big star surpreme og pt har vi en babyjogger city tour 2 som kan slåes helt vildt meget sammen og også kan komme på fly.

Putting in a plug for the Baby Jogger city tour 2, it’s been going strong as our our daily run around now for 2 years but we bought it for our first overseas trip at 10 months old. Reclines fully flat and is one colour is on sale on Amazon for $450 - which baby bunting will price beat by 5% if they have it in stock.

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 is great for tall/older kids, my tall 3yo still comfortably fits in ours. I also saw a hack on a travel group where someone had two kids, so they bought a cheap umbrella stroller for the older one, and when not in use they strapped it to the baby jogger pram so they weren’t stuck wheeling both around (hard to explain in words - but folded up the umbrella stroller and strapped it parallel along the upright side bar on the pram)

Looks like your boot is deeper rather than long - you’ll need to remove the parcel shelf and stand a pram frame upright if it’s around that size. Alternatively, some compact/travel prams come with bassinet add ons to make them newborn compatible including the stokke yo-yo (previous babyzen yo-yo) and the baby jogger city tour 2.

Interesting. I currently have a graco jogging stroller and find it to be awkwardly big and bulky. I could barely get it out of the trunk when I was newly postpartum. We also have a baby jogger city tour 2 as our travel stroller and it's so incredibly light and easy to use, but it's definitely not as smooth a ride as the graco.

I started using UPPAbaby Cruz but I found it too heavy and big for the public transport and for rolling uphill. I only started enjoying stroller walks when I switched to a _much_ lighter and more compact Baby Jogger City Tour 2
