Baby Jogger - City Mini GT Series

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

Do you intend to actually jog with it outside of Disney or do you just prefer the style and ease of push of jogging strollers? 

Perfect. I already added my suggestion under the other comment but the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 would be my top suggestion. It is quite a bit more expensive than the Jeep you were looking at but they are quite popular and usually fairly easy to find gently used locally for a good price. Definitely worth the upgrade over the Jeep. 

The Mountain Buggy Nano is a great travel stroller but not a great long-term option for a child who is already 4 unless they are very petite. Something easy to fold and reasonably compact but with a higher weight capacity and seat dimensions that will work for a bigger/older child will be beneficial in the long run since kids tend to need strollers MUCH longer at Disney than in regular life. Assuming they don’t actually intend to jog with it outside of Disney, I’d suggest the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2. It will fit a bigger child so much better. Shop around on Marketplace to find a good condition gently used one to save on the cost. 

Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 double! Or still go with the Zoe Twin v2 and add the upgraded all-terrain wheels. I’d lean towards the City Mini GT2 since you can often find great condition, lightly used ones locally on FB Marketplace for a good price. 

Uppa Baby G Luxe, or Baby Jogger City Mini 2. My daughters are 19, and 15 now but I had early versions of Uppa Baby Vista and it was a great stroller. Very much a BIFL quality item. Go to the store and try a bunch out and get the one with the easiest fold. We had a Maclaren Triumph stroller and it was great; so sad the company went out of business.

It’s my time to shine. I have spent an enormous amount of time researching strollers. I walk a lot with my baby, and we are out and about everyday. I have bought and sold several, and my final conclusion is: there is no such thing as the perfect stroller. There isn’t one stroller that does everything. What has worked for us is having one workhorse of a stroller for around the neighbourhood, and a lighter one for keeping in the car. Here are my recommendations: *Baby Jogger City Mini GT or GT2* This stroller is almost perfect for every situation. We were given a used GT and I love it so much. I bought a bassinet for it second hand, and bought the car seat adapter for our car seat. I took all of the fabric off of it so it was the the frame and it was so easy to transport in the car. It has big rubber wheels, so it’s great on gravel. There is one caveat: it does not do parent facing. My guy has outgrown the bassinet/car seat but is not quite ready for world facing. So the City Mini GT is now waiting for him to get a bit bigger. I can’t wait to use it again. If it had a reversible seat it would be the perfect stroller for every situation. *Uppababy Cruz V2* I bought a second hand one from marketplace to bridge the gap until he is world facing in the city mini. It’s a solid stroller, and easy to get in and out of the car. I don’t think it’s worth the price new, especially after using the City Mini. It doesn’t handle as well and the tires aren’t as beefy. I don’t love it on gravel, but it’s great for shopping and strolling around town. I also bought a second hand three-wheel Peg Pérego Book Scout to use as our neighbourhood workhorse until he’s ready for the City Mini again. It is a BEAST of a stroller and I love love love it EXCEPT the fold is huge and it’s heavy. So it stays at home. It handles like a dream and the tires are huge, plus it has a reversible seat. It’s at least 10 years old and I’m the third owner, so I can vouch for the quality of Peg Pérego products. Conclusions: Three-wheel strollers handle extremely well. I prefer them to four-wheel strollers. If you can find a three-wheel stroller with a reversible seat, that is your best option. There aren’t many out there. Strollers with reversible seats and beefy tires are bulky and heavy, so they are better for keeping at home. The City Mini is absolutely incredible and would be my choice except for the months in between the bassinet and world facing readiness.

See if you can find a used Baby Jogger City Mini to use for your trip and resell afterwards (or keep!). I got one for free second hand from a coworker. Didn’t think much of it, but MAN can that thing handle all the bumps and crazy tree roots in our neighborhood. We can take it on trails even. It’s slimmer than our main stroller (Nuna Tavo), less storage space, but handles amazingly well. Our Nuna is actually terrible at getting over tree roots or uneven sidewalks.

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.

I love my city mini gt, one handed fold and it was great for my off the charts tall toddler

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.

We have a GT and it's great. Like others said, we do not fold it up, but it does fold up super easily. Our parents have been surprised how easy it is compared to "back in the day"

Absolutely agree with the City Mini GT. Folds very flat, seat lays back and has mesh that allows for ventilation (great in Florida heat!), and you can fold and steer it with one hand. It’s an absolute dream to push around Disney. It’s a VERY popular stroller rental choice and for good reason.
