City Tour

One travel stroller (Baby Jogger City Tour- OLD model. We are probably the 4th family to use it. It folds very flat into a backpack and I HIGHLY recommend it), but I have only used once since Christmas. Before that, I used it once in September. I have a 2.5 year old, so after our only guy outgrew the Doona car seat stroller (also highly recommended) at just shy of 18 months, we pretty much ditched the stroller altogether unless we are going to be walking 3+ miles over the course of an outing. Otherwise, he walks and we pop him on our shoulders if he needs a break. Even then, I think we are nearing the end of that limited stroller use as well. His legs seemed bent uncomfortably last time we used it.

We really like our BabyJogger City Tour (we got it used on Facebook Marketplace). It fits in the overhead bin, and also under the seat in front. Absolutely essential to have a stroller for airports. A good baby carrier is helpful too. 

We really like our bay jogger city tour. It’s a really light umbrella stroller, fits in the overhead bin but we just gate check it. It’s not great on cobbles in Europe but imo nothing is so I just baby wear in that setting. Otherwise it’s the best! Been to Disney, resorts, city trips with him. For more suburban settings (gravel/ rougher terrain) you’ll need a proper stroller with suspension.

100% yes. I bought my Uppababy Cruz V1 on Facebook marketplace for my first baby. It was made in 2018 and is in great shape after at least 3 babies. I purchased Minu Duo this year before having baby 2. They are both so much nicer, smoother, and better than my travel Babyjogger City Tour. Uppababy strollers are tanks and last. Check out used ones for sale near you.

The absolutely perfect baby gear for all scenarios does not exist. I would advise looking on Facebook marketplace to find items secondhand if you want to purchase multiple strollers. You don’t need to get everything before the baby comes. Most strollers (especially jogging strollers) cannot be used until baby is 3-6 months old. You may want to use the Doona at first while you figure out what is important to you. Your baby will likely outgrow the infant car seat by age one. So you can use the Doina for travel during this short-lived time. You will then travel with a convertible car seat which does not click into any stroller. I recommend taking a look at the Uppababy Minu V3. It has a bassinet mode built in and can have a car seat click in (only certain models). It also folds up small enough to go in the airplane overhead compartment. We got a used Uppababy Cruz V1 on FBMP. I used it a lot in the early baby days with the car seat. I had the bassinet, but ended up babywearing most often. I especially preferred babywearing when we went to events and other crowded spaces. So much easier than making our way with a stroller. I started using the stroller more in the toddler days as my son has global delays and was a late walker. I got a Baby Jogger City Tour during Black Friday sale to use as our travel stroller. Neither stroller is perfect, but both have been great to have for different reasons and uses. I just gave birth to our daughter and got the Uppababy Minu Duo stroller so I can take both kiddos out and about.

There are so many options, too many! If you know you’re going to travel by plane, perhaps go ahead and get a travel stroller that you can use with an infant car seat. You’ll discover your preferences and what you really need once baby is here. Highly recommend Uppababy Minu V3 and a compatible infant car seat. We bought our Uppababy Cruz V1 (including the bassinet) on FBMP for $200 in 2022 when I was pregnant with baby #1. I actually preferred baby wearing, so we really only used the stroller for those early doctor appointments and then later when he got too big to carry. I really love the Cruz, but definitely glad we got it second hand given that I mostly used the baby carrier. We did end up with a travel stroller from Baby Jogger that I got on deep discount during their Friends and Family sale (someone shared the code on Reddit). It was much better for flying and road trips than the Cruz, but you can definitely tell the difference in quality. Baby #2 is now 5 months old and we have the Uppababy Minu Duo stroller. I prefer a side by side double stroller. I still use the Cruz when I go out with just one kiddo, but that doesn’t happen very often.

I love Uppababy! I got a used Cruz V1 that I used with my firstborn and a Minu Duo for when I had my second last spring. I got a great deal on a travel stroller from Baby Jogger that we used when flying with our firstborn. I love how compact it is, but the quality of Uppababy is definitely superior. I never wanted to use the Vista or another tandem stroller for two. Side by side is the way to go.

Hi. I’ve been working in this industry over 20 years and I have opinions lol. Joolz Aer. Bugaboo butterfly. Inglesina quid3. Baby Jogger City Tour. Joie nutmeg. Nuna TRVL LX. All of these are very solid options. If you go to my Instagram, I have a video on the quid that I put up yesterday and there was also a giveaway and a discount code. And full disclosure I do not make anything from that code if you use it it’s just to help people save some money. 🫡

We have a baby jogger city tour and it's been brilliant, fully reclines, I fold it one handed, although I don't know how easy it would be for a smaller handed person 😂, overhead compliant, comes with a shoulder bag so we put it in that before it goes in the overhead. The canopy was too small when my bub was littler so we combined it with a snooze shade for a bit of extra sun protection and napping on the move

I really like the Baby Jogger City Tour. Pushes like a dream, reclines near flat, fits nicely overhead, $300.
