Baby Jogger - city mini® GT2 double stroller

We went in December for 3 days with our almost 4 year old and 9 month old and took our Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double, it’s pretty big and didn’t have any issues! My 3 year old walked a lot, which was fine, but it was really nice when she wanted to ride. We only had to keep track of one stroller and it had a ton of storage! We’re going to Disney World in May and we’ll take it again!

Highly recommend renting a double city mini. We've done it multiple times in the past. Folds up easily and not a big footprint. Plenty of storage room under and they always provide a rain cover. Not sure why you aren't, but a stroller nap is bound to happen at those ages. Let them nap and enjoy the parks. One of our fondest memories is when our four year old fell asleep and our 18 month old chilled in the stroller while we got to enjoy the festival eats in epcot! Either way, have a great time!

We bought a caddy type stroller (babytrend snap & go) when our twins were first born. Really convenient and easy to take around. I waited until black friday to SPLURGEEEEE on not 1 but 2 babyjoggers 😅. Theyre 30% on black friday plus either amazon (15% off) or target (15% + 5% if using red card) completion discount. Getting 2 was only a bit more than getting 1 when not on sale. It worked in our favor bc they were born only a few months away from black friday. Ok we love both the babyjogger double strollers so I imagine the single versions would be amazing as well. The mini gt2 is so smooth and easy to take them shopping and around the city in. Also got the summit x3 because that is an actual jogging stroller (mini gt2 is not). I get such a good workout in with that one. Both worth the purchase and the wait. We still use the caddy as well for more tight places like the doctors office…will be using that one for as long as they fit in their infant carseat.

Baby jogger is owned by Graco but is their luxury line. I LOVE my Baby jogger car seat and stroller. I even got the same brand double stroller for my next!

I did the joovy twin with the car seat adapters and then at like 6 months old I just moved on to my baby jogger double stroller (which is the best thing ever). Honestly I didn’t go out with them much as babies other than doctors appointments and errands I generally had a second person with me until they could sit in a carriage.

I love my city mini gt2. Two kids and that thing is still trucking. Plus the shock absorber on that bad boy!

First time mom with a Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 + Graco car seat before our baby graduated to the bucket seat. It's been great so far. Very light and relatively compact, which is important for us since we live in the city and don't have a car, so we're on and off public transit a lot. Handled the snow and ice well when we had our winter newborn. Also really love that the seat folds completely flat. Our little guy is a great stroller napper and it's like we have a little mobile hotel room for him when we're out and about

I’ve only had the GT and GT2 and no, I haven’t noticed that :/

I ended up with the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It’s PERFECT! Yes it is heavy, so that may be a huge con for many… but my 41” 3 year old fits in it comfortably (her head is 2 inches from the canopy which I pop out a little to give her room, and they both always fall asleep, and it’s a dream to push. It’s very padded and comfy, we just love it. The ventilation is my favorite aspect. We are very happy with it and I got it for an amazing price on Albee ($519)

I love the baby jogger city mini gt2. It has a car seat you can pair with it to make it a travel system or it can be used just as a stroller. If you think there’s a chance of baby #2 soon after or want something modular I currently use a baby jogger city select and absolutely love it. Both strollers have a hand brake instead of a foot brake (so no fumbling for the brakes anymore), good shock absorption, good recline (and options so you don’t have to pick between upright or fully down), and large canopies. The city mini is one easy handle to fold and one solid piece. The city select is a frame and then you pick if you want the seat to face you, face front, or if you want to put a car seat on instead. Both have adjustable handlebars. I’m 5’2 and my husband is just under 6’ and the handlebar is comfortable for both of us.

As long as one of you isn’t a runner who needs a jogging stroller, yes. We had the baby jogger city mini gt2 and it did everything we needed it to, including travel (we gate checked it). We also have a jogging stroller because I run and you do need a special stroller for that. But were I not a runner, the one regular stroller would’ve been just fine. 

Baby jogger city mini gt2.... my friends used this for all their kids until late (we're city people so walk everywhere). Its on sale now on Amazon too. Anyways cannot recommend this one enough. First started with my friends who lived in a triplex and needed one hand to open/close etc and then I eventually met more moms in the city who all bought the same one (except you won't have big storage below). They used it throughout Winter etc. I had a borrowed one eventually with kiddo#2 and my favourite to date

Snap and go for the car seats, it’s great! I leave that one in the trunk. I also got the baby jogger city mini gt2 for outings and keep that one in the house. I like it because it can work now when they are newborns (the harness tightens and can lay flat) and also when they are up to 50 lbs each. It drives super smoothly. I didn’t even need an infant insert!

So it's not on your list, but we have a Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 and it's been amazing. We've had it for 6 years, and still use it for walks, to the beach, the mall, the park, etc. When we went to Disney, we rented 2 of them because we had an 8, 6, 3, and 1 year old. My oldest is tall (she was the size of a 10 year old), and she still fit in no problem (the weight limit is high too, which we like a lot). My husband likes it because he's tall and it has an adjustable handle so he doesn't have to bend over to push it, and I like it because it has nice big canopies for sun protection/naps. It also folds easily, and folds pretty flat, so it was easy to get on and off Disney transportation, if that's a concern for your trip!

With your budget, you’ll have better quality if you buy a stroller separately from your bucket seat. I’d go with a Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 and a Graco bucket seat with adaptors to click the seat on the stroller.

This is my time to shine! lol I have been stroller crazed since I was pregnant. I thought about our constraints first (budget, space) just to narrow it down a bunch. Just because of space constraints we eliminated full size strollers. (Like vista/mockingbird) I chose to completely ignore if a stroller could turn into a double or not. It’s a whole other ball game and I’m choosing to cross that bridge if we come to it. I recommend that because depending on age differences between siblings it can really change your priorities with double strollers. I think it’s impossible to have just 1 stroller fit all your needs, especially if you want to use them from infant/newborn stage. The needs are just so different for tiny babies vs toddlers. So instead of compromising on toddler needs(which would last for so many more years), we got a corso primo for newborn days and a gt2 that we didn’t use until she was 5 months. She’s one now and our needs sound similar to yours (80% neighborhood walks, 20% terrain) I just got a minu v2 as well. The first 5 months she really wanted to face me, and was often in the car seat. I loved the chicco corso primo (primo has better wheels then regular corso!), it was super duper easy with the chicco key fit and the seat was also great facing me. We could have found adapters for the gt2 and used that with the car seat too, but I liked that the corso is just a frame that the car seat clicked into. It felt much more manageable in early days when I was trying to get her around on my own. That was worth it and I would do it again! I would typically baby wear her around the neighborhood, so the frame lived in the trunk of the car for a little bit and it was great for shopping and appointments. Definitely not all terrain, but it handled rough sidewalks admirably! And 100 bucks used so I didn’t feel guilty about only using it for 5 months. I just switched to a minu v2 because the gt2 is just a tiny bit too bulky to easily maneuver in and out of our house with an injured back. I’m planning on keeping both, and the minu will be great for shorter walks, travel, car, shopping, museums, etc but it’s just not quite all terrain like the gt2. Like I *can* take it on gravel, we’ll survive, but the gt2 is smooth as butter. The gt2 also has a much higher weight limit so she can use it when she grows out of the minu. I think the gt2 and the minu are an incredible pair of strollers that cover alllll of my needs. If I had to choose one it would be the minu, because having something I can manage with one hand in and out of the house is priceless. But those are just our constraints- the gt2 is a serious workhorse! I just have a tiny porch and narrow steps 😭 I highly *highly* recommend getting the stroller guide from “the stroller workshop”. He has a YouTube channel and patreon. The guide is $5 and it helped me pull the trigger on a minu. I tuned out all other reviews, I trust that man with my life 🤓 TLDR if you need 1 stroller for all purposes from birth on- I would get a gt/2 and car seat adapters. But if you are thrifty and have the time, getting something for early days, then reselling it and getting a rugged daily driver and a lightweight travel stroller would require fewer compromises. Also, I didn’t pay full price for a single one of these strollers. I’m a Facebook marketplace sniper lol.

We got a Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 for side by side. I don’t love it. The straps are annoying and the basket isn’t as nice as the Uppababy or Bugaboo. My twins are a little over 2 and we recently got a Larktale Wagon that is awesome - it’s our new go-to. We live in a big US northeastern city where we do a lot of walking - lots of old, narrow sidewalks and tight shops. Our closest twin friends have a Bugaboo and don’t have any more issues than we do with the Uppababy. For the vista - it’s long with both seats set up, so it also has some issues with maneuverability around tight corners in shops. We also got a smaller side by side when they were about 1 - the Uppababy G Link that we keep in the car for errands we drive to and travel.

According to the stroller workshop nobody should be using a buggy board because they put too much strain on the chassis of the pushchair. That will go 5x with ultra compacts because they're not built for strength but for lightness and small fold. Honestly my advice to you is get something that is a workhorse like a battered old second hand BJCM, Britax B Agile (pref the original) or anything along these lines that's parent facing, one piece flat fold and decent sized wheels. Take it up to the plane gate, let 3yo stand on the cross bar at the back or sit both kids in the stroller at once. You don't need a buggy to be compact to use it for travel and it has a load of downsides when it is.
