Summit X3 Double Jogging Stroller

Baby Jogger City Mini GT double is great for kids that size. The GT model has a taller seat and much smoother push that the non-GT version. We’ve done City Mini GT as well as the bigger full jogging stroller (Summit X3 double). The Summit isn’t worth the extra weight and size at Disney. The City Mini GT was the perfect Goldilocks of reasonable size, maneuverability, and accommodating for a bigger child. 

We have the baby jogger summit x3. Has suspension, air tyres, handbrake, front wheel lock and one-hand fold. I go jogging off-road with it every other day.

I got a secondhand summit x3 for €20 on our local marketplace. Looks like it has much bigger rear wheels and (crucially) a hand brake. I've never gone fast enough to need the handbrake but I'm guessing that's why it's not advertised for jogging.

It is definitely worth getting the clickable infant seat for easy transfers from car to stroller. You can't imagine the sleep deprivation yet, and you can't imagine the anxiety you will feel when you are trying not to wake a sleeping baby!! You want to be able to leave the house (for fun or for chores) and not feel like you are trapped at home. Being able to move the car seat from the car to the stroller helps with that because you don't necessarily have to work around your babies (unpredictable) nap times. I am really happy with my car seat + stroller setup, so I'll share what I have: I really love my Baby Jogger Summit X3!! Smooth one-handed steering, easy folding, good shock absorption alongside large air-filled tires, great on ice/slush or uneven ground! I got the Graco Snugride infant car seat and purchased "adapters" so that the car seat would click into the jogger. When my baby was 4 months old, I started using the seat that's built into the jogger, reclined all the way down, and that was a pretty flat surface that mimicked a bassinet attachment (so that I didn't need to buy that too).

I bought the cheapest crib I could find (still new, not used) and I'm happy with it. I think it's from Walmart. You don't know if you might end up bed sharing 😉 I love my stroller: Baby Jogger Summit X3! Smooth, one-handed steering, easy folding, good shock absorption, great for handling ice or uneven ground. It has a super big/long sun shade that still almost completes shades her body at 7 months old. I got the Graco Snugride infant car seat and purchased "adapters" so that the car seat would click into the jogger. When my baby was 4 months old, I started using the seat that's built into the jogger, reclined all the way down, and that was a pretty flat surface that mimicked a bassinet attachment so I didn't have to spend money on that.

I also felt overwhelmed about strollers, I did a lot of research, I refused to spend on the high end, and I ended up really happy. Stroller: Baby Jogger Summit X3 - large, air-filled tires that work great on ice, slush, gravel, and uneven sidewalks - Baby Jogger sells two different compatible bassinets BUT they seem difficult to find in Canada AND the stroller itself has a seat that reclines almost all the way down... So I've been using that seat instead of a bassinet since my baby was 3 months old (you should get one of those inserts that has a semicircle of padding around their head to stop their head from shaking around too much) - good amount of storage underneath, but not the most I've ever seen - sun shade is very large/long, the largest I've seen, almost completely covers baby down to their feet - straps are easy to open/close, and comfy for baby - easy to steer with one hand - easy to fold away, has a one-hand pull tab, but technically requires two hands because it's too heavy to lift in/out of your vehicle with one hand... When closing, one hand pulls the tab and the other hand holds the handle, then once it's folded, you lift it into your vehicle... When opening, one hand grabs the handle and the other hand grabs the tab, and you pull it out of your vehicle in a folded state... Midair you separate your arms and by the time one tire is on the ground, the stroller is mostly unfolded and then it clicks into place, fully opened. So it's easy, but it requires two hands Car Seat: Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX - comes with a base you can secure to the seat of the car ... But it's not a 360 degree rotating base - easily clicks into base - easy to remove from base, but the car seat + baby get pretty heavy after a while, especially if you're keeping them in the middle back seat, so you have to be strong 💪 - compatible with the Baby Jogger Summit X3 but you have to buy the "Graco click connect" adapters: https://share.google/U0TxpTEAca7ePbmOd - I took it on flights and it survived gate check - while traveling, I secured it to various vehicles using the seatbelt instead of the base ... Was easy to do and felt very secure - overall nothing special, gets the job done - supports baby up to 32 inches or up to 35 pounds... this not accommodate a toddler and beyond, it might not even accommodate your infant once they reach those maximums. But I wouldn't worry about that and don't bother picking the next car seat ("grow with me" type) now, wait until after baby is born

I don't recommend NOT having a stroller. You cannot yet imagine the toll it will take on your body just to care for a baby postpartum, let alone be constantly carrying it everywhere you go. You will feel stifled and restricted. You want to have options, and a stroller gives you that. I also strongly recommend choosing a car seat and stroller that are compatible with each other so that you don't have to take the baby out of their car seat in order to use the stroller. Again, there are already so many restrictions and constraints that come with caring for a baby, you don't want to be forced to wake a sleeping baby because you can't just click the car seat into the stroller. Or WORSE, be forced to carry the car seat itself. I have a Baby Jogger Summit X3, it has large tires filled with air, and it is awesome on icy or rough terrain! I'm very happy with this stroller. I also have the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat. I bought adapters so that the car seat can be attached to the stroller. When you are researching strollers, make sure you look up which car seats they are compatible with and whether you need to purchase a set of adapters -- the manufacturer of the stroller will make this very clear. For context, I'm out and about pretty much everyday with my baby (almost 6 months old, born in February 2025, I'm also a FTM). I go to lots of baby & me things, I run errands like the grocery store, I go to parks, and I use a combination of the car seat, the stroller, and the carrier everywhere. If I didn't have these options, I would feel less inspired to leave the house, and personally that's not good for my mental health.

I love my Baby Jogger (brand) Summit X3 (model), I use it as my main stroller. It was $700 brand new but I was able to expense it to my employer under our annual fitness allowance. Things I love about it: smooth one-handed steering, easy folding, good shock absorption, great for handling ice or uneven ground, super big/long sun shade; the seat that's built into the jogger, if reclined all the way down, provides a pretty flat surface that mimics a bassinet attachment so I didn't have to spend money on that. Things I don't love: literally nothing. It's perfect.

I really love my Baby Jogger Summit X3!! Smooth, one-handed steering, easy folding, good shock absorption, great for handling ice or uneven ground!

When my baby was 4 months old, I started using the seat that's built into the jogger, reclined all the way down, and that was a pretty flat surface that mimicked a bassinet attachment.

Baby Jogger Summit X3 Has the bassinet attachment if you want it (I personally didn't buy because the seat itself reclines almost flat; by the time I even felt like going on walks, baby was 4 months old and big enough to handle the fully reclined seat) Graco Snugride Click Connect will click in if you also purchase the adapters I love my stroller and I highly recommend a jogger for Canadian weather.

If your employer provides you with a "fitness allowance", some kind of annual or one-time stipend to reimburse you for fitness related expenses.... Ask them if it covers a jogging stroller. My employer did, and I use it as my main stroller!! I recommend the Baby Jogger Summit X3 You'll still need a stroller that handles snow even when you're only going from the parking lot to the building, as some parking spots are far and often the streets/sidewalks aren't that clear even after plowing. My jogger is great in the snow!! It's also easy to steer with one hand, has a super long sun shade that covers the baby's body almost completely, and the seat lays almost flat so I didn't feel like I needed to buy a bassinet. But you can get a bassinet attachment from the Baby Jogger brand as well, and this jogger is compatible with Graco car seats so long as you buy the adapters.

I am super happy with my choice in car seat and stroller and they meet most of your criteria.

When closing, one hand pulls the tab and the other hand holds the handle, then you lift it into your vehicle... When opening, one hand grabs the handle and the other hand grabs the tab, and you pull it out of your vehicle in a folder state... Midair you separate your arms and by the time one tire is on the ground, the stroller is mostly unfolder and the next second it clicks into place, fully opened. So it's easy, but it requires two hands Car Seat: Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX - comes with a base you can secure to the back seat of the car ...

Like others have said on this thread, not only will this not accommodate a toddler and beyond, it might not even accommodate your infant once they reach those maximums. But I also agree with the advice to not worry about that and don't bother picking the next car seat now, wait until after baby is born

I actually like my largest stroller the best. It’s a baby jogger summit. Any jogging stroller though really. Small storage but amazingly smooth so no waking up baby going over the bumps

I love my baby jogger x3 summit

I have the Baby Jogger Summit x3 and have the car seat attachment. It also folds up for travel. It’s the only stroller I’ve ever had for three kids (11 yo, 9yo, and new one due to be born any day).

I have a 2.5 year age gap and these are the strollers we have and use :) Mockingbird - I love this stroller as a single, but pushing a tandem stroller is really difficult if you're not on a completely flat surface. I tend to use this stroller if we're going to be in a more crowded area that's flat like the mall or if my kids need a little space between them (ex. When the baby keeps trying to grab stuff from my toddler and she's not in a great sharing mood). I like that the seating arrangements are customizable but you're not able to really get both seats to recline if your kids need to lay flat to nap. Also, my 3yo is on the slightly taller side and her head barely fits under the canopy. My 10mo is in the 98th percentile, so I think we might get another year or so out of this stroller before they'll both be too tall for it. Bombi twin - we bought this stroller to travel with and it's great. Pushing a side by side is so much easier than a tandem although the footprint is a little wider, so you have to be cognizant of that (although it does fit through a standard doorframe). The seats lay flat so you can use it from birth, but I would say that the actual seat isn't as comfortable as other strollers in that it's not as cushioned and doesn't have that "scoop" shape. Another drawback is that the seat covers aren't removable for cleaning but the fabric is fairly easy to wipe clean. It's super easy to maneuver and fold up to toss in our car. I like using this stroller as our other "mall" stroller for quick trips or for travelling. Wonderfold - both my 10mo and 3yo love riding in the wagon. It's comfortable and roomy for both of them. Yes, it's pretty big, but we were looking for something that we could throw literally everything into and push around. It definitely has a time and place to use and we like it for long days at the zoo or park; places where you need to bring a lot of stuff with you. I would highly recommend making sure a wagon would fit in your car before buying. I drive Santa Fe and the Wonderfold takes up most of my trunk with little room to spare for anything else. Baby Jogger Summit x3 - this is our "mom and dad need to get into shape" jogging stroller. I just bought this used on FB Marketplace so I haven't given it a ton of use yet but first impressions are that it's kind of a good mix between what I like about all our other strollers. It's easy to push, has comfortable seats, folds flat, and can be used for longer days at the zoo/park. The seat is reclined a little bit too much for my younger one to reach his snack tray, but not a deal breaker since he'll easily grow into it. And not a double stroller, but the one that gets the most use is our Babyzen Yoyo. It's so small that I keep it in our car 100% of the time. I usually put the baby in there while my toddler walks. It's such an easy push so I'm able to walk comfortably using one hand so I can hold my toddler's hand as well. My 3yo goes through phases where she doesn't want to sit in the stroller so this is an easy way for me to manage both of them on my own.
