Baby jogger City Mini GT seemed to be best happy medium of price and performance… and we lived in an urban environment with lots of walking, often uneven sidewalks of a gentrifying area.
The stroller use will last a lot longer than the infant carseat use. Prioritize a stroller that will work for your needs over a compatible travel system that meets your criteria. There is ALWAYS babywearing rather than stroller. I have a friend with a Graco Modes travel system and I absolutely hate the stroller. It rattles SO MUCH and steering is stiff and clunky. BabyJogger City Mini GT bare minimum. We live in a rural village with gravel streets and no sidewalks, so we are no stranger to rougher terrain. My family is also on the farm and we walk the dogs in the pastures sometimes. The City Mini GT can manage the gravel and pastures ok, but there are definitely better options. You can get adapters to click many carseat options into it. BabyJogger City Elite. The bigger, beefier sibling of the City Mini GT. Handles better on gravel for sure. Phil & Ted’s Sport. I had this for the double stroller option and loved it so much. Has the option of carseat adapters and a bassinet. Bumbleride is another great option to consider, and Mountain Buggy.
What kind of terrain will you encounter in general? We have an older version of the GT and really like it. It was intended to be a back-up stroller for grandparents (super clearance deal) and we use it more than our expensive stroller. If you’re looking for a smaller Jogging stroller, I’d look into the Guava Roam or Thule might make one too.
I love the Baby Jogger City Mini GT (the old version). Big wheels, extremely manoeuvrable, easy to fold, and comfortable for a tall child (and a tall parent). It has served me well on cobblestone streets, forest trails, beaches and everything in between. The newest model GT3 has just been released.
BabyJogger City Mini GT, its Disney size approved by doesn’t advertise overhead compartment.
I rarely had to fold my stroller on the T. That being said, the City Mini GT is an excellent choice- so easy to maneuver and the one-hand fold mechanism is a life-saver.
If you’re not going to be using it outside of Disney I would just rent one when you go. Otherwise BOBs are GOATs and baby jogger city mini GT for less jogging style are my favorites. I own (& rent) 13 various strollers/wagons so I’ve used many on the market and always grab a Bob/GT for my toddler.
I used a baby jogger city Mini gt for 2.5 years. I had infant seat adapters for it and several baby carriers for different ages and circumstances and we were just fine. I only upgraded because I started babysitting another toddler and sometimes need them both contained while on the go.
When my kids were in buggies the model that we had was a baby jogger city mini (we had the GT version with slightly chunkier wheels). We had a three wheel, but you could also have a 4 wheel version. They folded in half, so as wide as the buggy but quite flat, useful for storing along the wall in a hallway. Quick look online and there is a version 2 sold new now, but I'm sure there are plenty of the old version available on marketplace and they were true workhorses, my kids always napped so well in them with a huge sunshade and they lay completely flat. I know I'm being a rubbish old mum now but when I see babies in the super lightweight pushchairs which seem to be the most popular type now, I always think they look super exposed and low down, and toddlers look like they're just perching on the seat about to fall out, they are just so shallow and small compared to the buggies we had 5-10 years ago. I get it in cities / shopping malls but I see them bumping over cobbles in a town near us and I just don't get it! It does explain it though if there's nothing in between those and the huge beasts / running buggies, shame to have so much less choice.
If I had to have one stroller, I would stick with my Baby Jogger City Mini GT. We have the 2. The 3 is out now. It’s one handed fold is great and it doesn’t take up too much space. It’s not very heavy and a nice push. It has a lot of features similar to the luxury strollers without the luxury price tag.
