Baby LOVES It, March 25, 2011

This review is from: Bowron Sheepskin Shorn Baby Comforter (Baby Product)

Customer Video Review Length:: 0:36 Mins

Our newborn used to hate tummy time until my sister got us this as a gift! Now he loves loves tummy time. This is him doing TT at 3 weeks. The best part is that this can be used for multiple things, like making the stroller cozy for walks. It is very soft and cozy. I wish I had one in my size!

My sister also got us the lambskin wash too. The directions for maintaining the lambskin doesn't require it but it seems like a good idea to use. You should wash it once a month.

Love the concept, not as practical as I thought, February 4, 2010

Chrissy (Lansdale, PA) -

So I loved this stroller and everything about it from it's look to the shade to the ease of folding and lightweight stature. Unfortunately I wanted this stroller to be my only stroller and thought it could be with the infant carrier bar added on. Then I wanted the parent console for the extra storage and the baby tray for when my little guy grew. When you add it all up the stroller ends up costing close to 350 and with the items added on, the ease of folding decrease. In addition, the infant carrier never felt sturdy to me and one day the front wheel randomly fell off. Also with the infant carrier on it you could tip the stroller over with very little effort and so I could never leave the baby in it without having one hand on the stroller. These were safety concerns to me and I wasn't willing to sacrifice safety for style and ease of use. One other practical thing is that the basket underneath was too small for my diaper bag and hanging the bag on the handle was enough to tip the stroller with my 10 lb baby in it.

All that being said, I think this would be a great stroller for an older baby that you don't mind having facing away from you and if you are willing to spend a lot of money. I just wouldn't reccommend using it with an infant carrier. I did return it and get a middle-high end travel system and another light weight stroller for the same total price.

One last thing worth mentioning is that this stroller is NOT a jogging stroller even though it is made by baby jogger.

Good Over-All Stroller, February 27, 2011

Aerith (Bay Area, CA) -

This review is from: Baby Jogger 2011 City Mini Single Stroller, Stone/Black (Baby Product)

I have three kids under 4, and have been through a variety of strollers. This one is a good over-all stroller. Hands down, it is the easiest folding stroller I have ever seen. It's great for short shopping trips when I'm out with three kids all by myself because I canfold this stroller AND put in my car with one hand while I hold the baby in the other arm. It has some great features, and some features I thought could be improved.

Pros:
Easiest fold ever
Lightweight for the size
Excellent sun shade
Great recline
Straps are easy to adjust
Nice size--more substantial than an umbrella stroller, but smaller than a standard stroller
Handlebar is a nice height (I'm 5'!0" and it's very comfortable)

Cons:
Steering and ride are okay. For a standard, small-wheeled stroller, it's fine. Great for the mall, less than stellar at the park or on long walks or anywhere there might be something other than completely smooth pavement.
You can't hang stuff off the handlebars without buying those special hooks (not a huge deal, but it's been an annoyance a few times)
The storage underneath is a little difficult to get to. Not as bad as other strollers, but could be easier.

Like a lot of families with more than one child, I've owned quite a few strollers, and this is one of my favorites. It's the one that I keep in my car all the time for general errand running and shopping. It's not the stroller I take on nature walks or trips to the nature reserve, but over all it's a great general-use stroller.

New and improved 2011 version...., November 18, 2010

Shopaholic (Earth) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Baby Jogger 2011 City Mini Single Stroller, Crimson/Gray (Baby Product)

The product description here on Amazon does not state this, but the stroller I received is the new and improved 2011 model which was just released in October 2010. There are several buying choices for various vendors, but I purchased mine directly from Amazon even though it was a couple of extra dollars. The new strollers will have a large blue sticker on the box stating that it is a 2011 model.

Previous model years of the Baby Jogger City Mini had a "slouchy" seat, that many people described as hammock-like for the child sitting in it. The 2011 version of the stroller has a PE board inserted in the seat back, which corrects this problem. The seat back is now firm and doesn't sink in. It seems very comfortable for my 6 month old baby. If you have an older model of the stroller, you can purchase a PE board directly from the Baby Jogger company for approximately $10 or $15. It slides into the seat back, and you can not see it once it is installed.

Another improvement in the 2011 model is the addition of velcro straps that enable you to make the seat slightly more upright if you choose to do so. When attached, they pull the seat back about 2 inches forward which enables the child to sit up straighter. Personally, I am not impressed with this new feature. The straps are a bit of a pain to fasten, and you have to detach them before folding the stroller.

I really like the features of this stroller. The best thing is the easy fold. It is simple to do with one hand, while holding your child in the other arm. Basically, you grab a fabric handle on the seat and give it a slight tug. The stroller collapses very easily, and with no hassle. There are some good videos on YouTube that show the folding process. The folding mechanism is something you need to see to fully appreciate. I previously had a Maclaren Quest stroller, which had a much more complicated fold that I needed both hands to do.

The unfold is almost as easy. I can hold my child in one arm, and pull the stroller out of the back of my SUV and unfold it with the other arm.

The sunshade on this stroller is enormous. You can choose to pull it out either 1/3, 2/3, or the full way out. There are also 2 clear viewing windows on the sunshade which enable you to see your child. When not in use, there is a fabric flap that has velcro to hold it in place.

The storage basket underneath is a decent size, but because of the structure of the stroller, it is difficult to fit a diaper bag in. You can easily tuck in smaller items like blankets, toys, a jacket, small bags, etc though. Even though the manufacturer does not recommend it, I hang my large diaper bag from the handle. The stroller is VERY stable, and it does not tip backward. With the Maclaren Quest that I previously owned, a small diaper bag made it tip over.

On the back of the seat, there is a large mesh pocket that runs almost the full length of the seat. It has elastic on top, so things don't easily fall out. You can put jackets or blankets in this pocket, as long as you fold or roll them first. Small toys fit well too.

My only complaint with this stroller is that it does not have a drink holder. Baby Jogger sells a parent console for the handle, but it is rather pricey. I purchased a Sunshine Kids Stroller Accessory Buggy Buddy for less than $10 here on Amazon, which solves that problem for a nominal cost. Baby Jogger sells accessories for the stroller such as a child snack tray, or a bumper bar. There is also a car seat adapter available for purchase.

Update: We have had this stroller for about 3 months now, and I like it better than ever. We recently took a 9 day cruise with our baby, and brought the stroller along. The large sunshade in the tropical sun was invaluable. My daughter was able to easily nap with the almost flat recline. The easy fold/unfold came in especially handy with getting on and off trolleys, tour buses, water taxis, etc. It definitely is not a good stroller to try to push on a sandy beach, but I wasn't expecting it to be. :)

I also purchased the Baby Jogger Adjustable Belly Bar to attach to the front of the stroller. My baby likes to sit up and hold onto the belly bar. I also attach small toys to the bar using these simple toy straps, Baby Buddy Secure-A-Toy, Black/White.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this item, July 27, 2006

This review is from: Bowron Sheepskin Shorn Baby Comforter (Baby Product)

I am an Australian and my parents are New Zealanders. They sent me one of these for my first child, she is now 2 and still lies on it in her bed and stroller. Then I ordered myself another one for my son now 6 months old. I live in the US now and order them for any friend having a baby. I simply throw mine in the washing machine and then fluff air dry it.

I HIGHLY recommend this.

One of the Best Purchases for Our Son, October 17, 2005

B. Hanson (Tigard, OR. USA) -

This review is from: Bowron Sheepskin Shorn Baby Comforter (Baby Product)

I purchased one of these prior to my son being born last October to be used in his stroller and it has been a great product. It really does work to insulate in the winter and I have used it all summer in Portland Oregon without a problem even on the hottest days of 90 plus degrees. I was so satisfied with it last winter that I purchased another one for an area rug to be used primarily for tactile purposed and he really enjoyed it. I am hoping to find one of similar quality as a mattress pad for his crib this winter as well. I preferred this version for my stroller because it had better coverage then the one they sell for strollers and I just cut holes where it was necessary. I should also add that the rug is easy to wash with wool cleaner on delicate cycle and it doesn't shed which is great because my son Christian likes to pull and suck on everything.

Highly unstable, December 31, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Trends For Kids Multiboard Stroller Ride on Board with Seat, Black (Baby Product)

After reviewing a number of options I plumped for this board, since our 4-year old is getting too big to sit in the stroller. Well, after installing it I found it to be too wobbly and unstable to trust. The board sways and even moves down when a kid stands on it. Maybe it just wasn't made for our stroller (Phil and Ted's Sport) but there is no good compatibility chart either. So anyway, back to Amazon it went, and I ordered a Lascal instead. I'm not very happy with that either, but at least it seems to be a lot more stable.

This review is from: Trends For Kids Multiboard Stroller Ride on Board with Seat, Black (Baby Product)

We have twiner twist duo by TFK and this multiboard is perfect match for our stroller. I tried Valco and wasn't compatible with our stroller. So I guess this is perfect match for TFK strollers not for other strollers.
We all love the idea of standing and siting on the board. It also very easy to remove this or put it again!
And I don't have to any problem with walking very fast with this, never hit or kick the stroller or board.

A great double stroller!, November 15, 2010

Laura de Vries "Phinney Girl" (Seattle) -

This review is from: Britax B-Ready Stroller, Black (Baby Product)

I spent a lot of time researching double stroller options for my 16 month old and newborn. What drew me to this one was the size - it's not too bulky for a double, and it is quite lightweight for a double. I love the versatility of the seat position options, and I like the large underbasket storage space.

One thing I would like to note - there is very little info on the web regarding the lower infant carseat adapter, I got the full scoop from a local baby shop that had been trained by a Britax rep. The upper infant carseat adapter (the one that is $50) clearly explains the various carseats that it can accomodate, whereas the lower infant carseat adapater (the one that is $80) did not explain anything about adaptability. Basically what I found out is that the lower adapter is only made to fit the Britax Chapperone carseat. However, to make the lower seat adaptable to other carseat brands, you need to buy BOTH carseat adapters. The upper "universal" carseat adapter will snap onto the lower carseat adapter, and then accomodate a non-Britax infant seat (we have the Chicco Keyfit 30 infant seat). So if you are looking to use this stroller as a double with an infant seat that is not Britax brand in the lower position, be prepared to spend $130 on both adapters to make it work for another carseat.

The price is pretty high for this stroller, but totally worth it. It pushes well, can easily be pushed with one hand, and it's really nice quality. Keep in mind too, when buying a higher end stroller like this you can often turn around and sell it used for a good amount in a few years when you are done using it.

Great double stroller, December 26, 2009

I've only had it a couple of weeks but I am loving this stroller. For a double it is relatively small. It is quite maneuverable. I was able to push both of my girls in it through the mall with one hand. It's easy to fold up. Exactly what I was looking for. Note: don't expect this stroller to be a jogger. It is not.
