It's very easy to fold and superb to turn around and joggling; the only complain I have is that the back support is kind of soft and your baby basically crouch in it.
OH MY GOSH- BEST STROLLER OUT THERE!

So i feel qualified to rate this as i've had a bugaboo frog (cannot believe i got sucked into the hype), quinny buzz (huge/wide/34 lbs!), peg perego pliko (huge, nightmare to steer, and plasticy), mac volo (just not enough stroller for my 10 month old), and bob rev (too much jogger for my needs). SO i finally am in stroller HEAVEN with this. It's light, dream to push, cool looking, small enought to manuver at mall/stores, good for neighborhood walks, canopy ROCKS (seriously), and the storage is awesome. It is lacking a cupholder so i bought the sunshine kids buggy caddy which is amazing. I will be buying the city double when we have baby #2. I cannot believe this stroller only cost $200- others at this price are horrible! Get this from the start with the car seat adaptor and you're set!!!!! GET IT you will love it, i have the black but love the colors too!
Great stroller, would be perfect if child sat in better position.

I love almost everything about this stroller - it truly is lightweight and compact, folds amazingly easily and is great to push. I took it on an international plane flight and it was excellent. The sun canopy is awesome and probably my favorite feature.

br /It would be a perfect stroller if only it sat my 11 month old son in a better position. He always looks as though he is slumped and not supported properly at the back. I think this is because the distance from the back/bottom to the knees is not quite long or deep enough. It's ok if I recline the seat back for him, but he never sits up in an upright position properly. He doesn't seem to mind the position, but it looks uncomfortable and feeding him snacks in the stroller is a bit of a disaster when his chest is like a little table to rest things on. That said, I do like the stroller and think it is a great all-rounder.
Perfect for city dwellers, for a newborn and up

My baby is seven weeks old and we've been using this stroller since our very first outing. It's the perfect stroller for a city dweller (I live in a fifth-floor walk-up apartment): its compact shape when folded means I can store it in a corner of a hallway and it doesn't tilt or fall down; it's not too heavy, so I can actually carry it up and down the stairs; the wheels are sturdy enough to deal with brick sidewalks, broken sidewalks, uncut curbs, and construction sites; the handle is usable by people of vastly different heights (I'm 5' 2" and my husband is 6' 4" and we both find it comfortable to push) and can be pushed one-handed much more easily than a two-handled stroller; the turning radius is good and the width is not excessive, so I can actually get it onto subways, in and out of tight elevators, down narrow city shop aisles, and in and out of doorways. I got a padded, fleece insert from another manufacturer to help cradle my newborn, but my baby seems very comfortable in the seat; when reclined all the way, the seat goes to 140 degrees, which is perfectly acceptable for newborns. There's no need to use a travel system or a carseat and dedicated carseat-stroller frame when you have this stroller--it will take us all the way to age three!

I love my stroller. We arrived in Japan in April to be stationed here for three years. The cars here are extremely small so my old stroller did not fit. Since I have ordered this stroller life has been so much easier. It is so easy to handle and goes everywhere. I was a little worried about how small the wheels were at first but it really has no problems on my workouts. It folds up really small and it is so light my 5 year old can carry it. The best part is how much the covers blocks the sun. It comes really far down to block everything.
br /The only downfall is that it does not come with a cup holder but you can order one with it. All and all this is one of the best investments ever. I love it.

after searching high and low, we finally found this great stroller. biggest selling point for us was the quick fold, however now that we've used it, also priceless is that it's very comfy for our 7-month-old. a smooth ride for her, with great sun coverage and seat reclining possibilities, and it's also easy for us to push, two tall parents. downsides: it tips back easily, especially when a diaper bag (such as skip hop) is attached to the handles; it also doesn't stand up on its own when it's folded, it kind of falls over. overall, this is amazing value! as for seller, it took us a long time to receive the stroller, even though the listing said it was "in stock".
love it

We have had this stroller for about three months and love it. It folds super easy and is really small when you take off the wheels. We took it for a road trip and a couple of international flights with many transfers and worked very well in both scenarios. We keep it in an Ikea tire bag when we need to pack it away (e.g. on the plane), it fits well once the wheels are off. And you can also open it with one hand. Love it. I also found out from the BabyJogger customer support that the 2007 car seat adapter works with it even though they don't list this model for that adapter.

The Baby Jogger City Mini is the best stroller I have ever used. It is lightweight even with baby in stroller. It has the best folding technology on the market. I only wish I found it when my son was born because I would have baught the pran accessory. I have used this stoller on grass, gravel, bumpy sidewalks, and it has done great! This stroller can be customized to fit each individual need. Also, the shade is truly amazing and keeps my son covered at ALL times of the day! I recomend this stroller to anyone who needs one both as a mom and daycare owner.

I have looked eveywhere for a stroller like this one. I have 3 kids, and I only wish I could have found this stroller 8 years ago! I have owned over 15 strollers throughout the years, and tested HUNDREDS, and this is by far the best! It folds easily and is relatively small, yet it unfolds into a very substantial stroller. It uses top quality materials, and does not skimp on important things like comfort. The canopy is one of the very best I have ever seen. I don't need to add an additional stroller cover for a day in the sun. It is even large enough to protect my little one from a light rain shower. Also, my standard stroller rain cover fit it perfectly, so I did not have to purchase the more expensive one that is made for the jogger. The wheels are a nice size, but not so large that the stroller is bulky when folded.
br / I read a review that the front swivel wheel does not lock, however, I just received mine today, and it indeed does lock. Also, there is a clip to lock the stroller together once you close it up, another feature that I had seen noted as missing on the MANY reviews I read. SO maybe Baby Jogger has been making changes to make this stroller even better. The only improvements I could ask for would be to have the stroller stand on its own (it will stand at an angle however), have a larger basket (this one is not bad, and you do have the additional behind the seat storage), an adjustable handlebar (but so far it is very comfortable for me at 5'3", and my husband at 6'3", to push.) I would also love to see some more fun colors (teal, pink, mango). None of these things would deter me from buying though. Compared to what else is out there, the City Mini is about as perfect a stroller as you will find anywhere. Lightweight, extremely easy to fold and push, comfortable, and really great quality. You will be so glad you bought this one. I plan to give mine a good workout at Disney VERY soon!!

I can't really comment on how great the stroller is as I haven't used it yet--baby due in a few weeks. I can comment on the customer service. I purchased stroller at local store and it came all assembled in box. There was a small snag/run in the fabric seat so I called the store. They had me call Baby Jogger directly. I told them the issue and they sent me out a brand new seat which arrived just a few short days later--no other questions asked. Seems like great customer service to me.

After taking months reviewing many different strollers and considering countless different brands, we finally decided on the Baby Jogger City Mini. We considered the Bugaboo Bee, the Bob, Mountain Joggers and so many more. This seemed to stand in a league of its own. Quality construction. Super easy fold and unfold. Lightweight. The price is VERY reasonable. You can't go wrong with this one.
Great Design!

This is a great stroller, we loved it! My son is enjoying the ride! Things we loved about this stroller are easy fold, canopy that covers my son and seat recline to full flat. We are not used to using a cup holder on a stroller so it didn't matter to us. Over all this is a great design and extremely easy to use stroller with fairly good price.

My husband and I have been using this stroller for 6 months now and love it.
br /We both have a long stride and hate it when you are walking along and then step on the wheel or brake, not a problem with this stroller. our only complaints about this stroller are that the back does not sit up straight enough for our 10month old so he is always holding himself forward by the sides and that the back can be hard to put up from a reclined position. But over all this has been an awesome stroller and we always get lots of comments from strangers when we fold it up in public. Don't know why everyone doesn't have one.

The only thing I wish for this stroller is that it had a bigger basket. Other than that, I really needed it to be VERY compact but not feel compact. It fit's in my trunk and leaves a lot of room for everything else. Very comfortable. First day out and the baby napped like a champ! Folds as easy 123, and looks great! great canopy! SUPER easy to push with one hand.
Why did I ever bother with the "travel system"?

Oh, my! Why didn't I find this stroller sooner? I had the Graco travel system stroller, the umbrella stroller, etc. until I found the City Mini. This is the greatest, easiest to fold, lightweight thing I have ever seen. Turning is so easy, I can still steer one handed (not with an umbrella stroller), easy to get in/out of the vehicle. I cannot rave about this enough. My tray attachment doesn't fit that well, but that could just be a single user issue. I highly recommend this!
Great Stroller!!!

I purchased this stroller for my 7 month old 2 weeks ago. It very compact once folded and easy to maneuver. The visor/canopy is very well constructed and screens my daughter form the sun very well. There are too many highlights for me to list My only faults with the stroll are:
br /1. The under carriage storage is very limited
br /2. The seating area lacks adequate support for the childs back
br /3. A cup holder would have been a nice added feature

I really like this stroller because it's so lightweight. It couldn't be easier to collapse and it doesn't take up a lot of room in the car. The straps are really easy to adjust. The bright blue color is beautiful - I get a lot of comments from strangers when I am out. The negatives are that the basket underneath is virtually useless and there's no cupholder or tray for the child (you have to buy them separately). Also, I wish there was a wider range of recline. I think my son would like to sit up a little straighter.

We are currently living in Japan and needed a stroller that would suit several different needs. I needed a stroller that I could take out exercise with and that was also sturdy. We also needed a stroller that was not oversized. This stroller is all that, we can take it on the trains and it is not cumbersome and overly large. The recline feature is great for all day trips and diaper changing. A very smooth ride and very easy to handle, just like a Maclaren stroller. We love it and so does our daughter!!!

This is the 4th stroller we have had in the search for a perfect stroller and this is the closest yet. It is easy to push with one hand, incredibly easy to fold and has a fantastic huge canopy. It is a bit heavier than a Maclaren but the easy fold and one hand push far compensate for that. This is the only stroller I can take on the bus with my son as others are too complex to fold and carry with a toddler who is usually eagerly trying to run into traffic while I fuss with a stroller!

I have had this stroller (in orange) since a few months after it came out and we love, love, love it. We can get through stores, on trains and busses, and into small restaurants with this stroller. It folds so compactly it fits behind my refrigerator, under the bed, and even in the overhead compartment of a plane when you take the wheels off. Not to mention it is one of the only strollers that folds compactly, has multiple recline all the way to flat, and pushes easily with one hand. It does have a sling back so it's probably not best for a baby who doesn't have good head control. The only thing I don't love about it is the brake system, it isn't as well designed as the rest of the stroller, but it's a minor flaw. Did I mention I love this stroller?

I wish I could rate it higher (it is a nice design), but I have a problem with mine and with Baby Jogger. The 2008 City Mini I received has all the major components for the front wheel assembly to lock in the forward position (second hole for the locking pin and a working lever that raises and lowers the cross support for the locking pin). However, the locking pin was not included! Upon requesting the missing locking pin, I was turned away by two different people at Baby Jogger. Here's the latest response I got from them: "The Mini wheels have always had the gray lever and the two holes. The larger hole is so the wheel can connect to the frame's wheel axle, and the rear hole was left empty with no locking pin. As the City Mini is not a jogging or running stroller, there is no standard requirement or mandatory reason why the front wheel of the Mini must have the swivel/lock feature. Therefore, for specific reasons- one to keep the Mini at a certain price point, we did not initially add this feature to the City Mini."
br /
br /Why include all the major components for a given feature and leave out - and refuse to provide upon request - a simple, but necessary pin? I frankly feel misled and feel that Baby Jogger's customer service is poor at best. Buyer/consumer beware!
Wish they would have made this one years ago!

We love this stroller! It is the easiest to fold and unfold, so light it is unbelievable, handles like a dream. It is the first stroller my stroller-finicky 10 month old has fallen asleep in. I don't have one bad thing to say about this stroller! I did love the other City version, the Elite even better, but with my bad back and very small trunk, this was the best way to go for me. I will thankfully be able to garage sale both of my rickety and cheaply made Peg Peregos!
