Best Stroller Ever!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Halifax, NS
Date: August 04, 2010
We love this stroller! It's perfect to get around town, lightweight, smooth ride over bumps, grass, curbs. Easy to get through small city grocery stores. Can be broken down while holding the baby. I actually ordered the Elite and City Mini. The elite was too big for us. Great price. Also, fits in a small hatchback trunk with plenty of room for other gear! SO HAPPY WITH THIS STROLLER!

I'm 5'8" and have no problem standing tall when
using the city mini stroller for my 8 month old
granddaughter. It is far
better than I thought it
would be and very happy
to have given this as a
gift to my daughter and son in law for this
wonderful baby.

BEST EVER!

My oldest son is almost 14 and I have been through MANY strollers. I wish I had bought this one from the start and had I known about it I would have. I did a lot of research before purchasing this stroller. I needed it for a newly 3 year old to take to Disney World in Florida. This was the ONLY stroller he fit into without hitting his head or having his feet dangle over the end. The sunshade is PERFECT for the Florida sun. I am now expecting my fourth baby and I recently bought the car seat adapter, bassinet/pram and parent console. I love how they change the stroller completely. It is so versatile. I love how easy this stroller collapses and it was perfect for the buses we took in Florida to each of the parks. It took up little room on the bus and was not in the way of anyone as it folded and stored in front of our legs. This stroller turns on a dime and does not get in the way in isles or in busy crowds. It was a dream and our son slept in it which is impressive for a 3 year old! Now I look forward to our new baby using it.

Jealous Stares
Reviewer: Anonymous , Saint Louis, MO

I have to say that I love this stroller. It is exactly what I need. It folds smaller than the travel systems, is light weight and easy to use.
I went to a big box baby store and tried out one of the travel systems but couldn't fold it and it was so heavy and cumbersome. I can hold baby and fold this and put it in my car. Even with it in my trunk there is still room for groceries!
We get jealous stares from other mommies when we are out and they see how easy it is to use.
One of my friends told me it would be worth having another baby to have this stroller!
To start I purchased the car seat adapter and the parent tray as accessories. As baby grows we will definitely get the tray and possibly the travel bag for flying.
I was trapped in a shopping mall on the wrong floor and elevator didn't work to take me to my parking garage level. The only way to get to the car was to fold the stroller and carry it and baby in his car seat up two flights of stairs. I was able to do it but doubt it would have happened with any other stroller!

Best baby stroller I've owned!

Just had my 5th baby in July of 2009 and purchased the City Mini single stroller after researching many other models. There is a 5 year difference between my youngest child and my infant. In the course of 11 years, I have owned many single and double strollers, including Peg Perego, Graco and Combi models. I no longer needed a double stroller, so I opted for this City Mini model. It is the best baby stroller I have ever used. I can fold and unfold it using only one hand. It is lightweight and extremely easy to use. When you have 5 children to mind in a busy parking lot, the last thing you need is to fiddle with getting your stroller in and out of the car. I am able to close my stoller and pop it right into my Suburban in a snap! The City Mini turns on a dime and can be maneuvered with one hand. I purchased the optional parent console and child belly bar as well, and would highly recommend them to others. The sunshade is generously oversized to shield my baby from the rays, but I am able to peek at her through the two clear windows at the top. Make sure your car seat is compatible with the optional adapter. I wish I had this when my first child was born because it has made things so much easier for me to take my sweet baby with me where ever we go!

great!!!

I love my city mini! It has great maneuverability, the sunshade is HUGE, and my baby is so comfy inside! Also, did I mention how ridiculously easy it is to fold? one pull and it's collapsed! I just wish it came with accessories (like rain cover and cup holder), but they are easy to find and buy separately. Also the basket is hard to access. Otherwise I am very pleased with my city mini and would buy it again and again!

not so great
Reviewer: Anonymous , Philadelphia, PA

I purchased this stroller because I live downtown, walk everywhere, and take the stroller on public transit regularly. Unfortunately, for me this stroller is the worst of both worlds. It isn't as light as a Maclaren (that I just received as a gift) and doesn't fold as small, so it doesn't work well as a travel stroller. On the other hand, it is not comfortable to push or maneuver on long walks like the Mountain Buggy that we have (because there are no shocks, the handle is not adjustable, and it doesn't have air tires). The only thing that ended up being convenient was that we could attach our car seat (although we had to buy a separate adapter), and this stroller is way too expensive to only be used for a few months for that (now our daughter is too big to be comfortable riding that way). Now I am stuck with this thing and feel like it was a total waste of money. BTW there was also a recall on it because the restraint clip was made badly, and many of the other plastic parts seem cheap and not well-made, so it doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the safety of the stroller.

Great stroller - careful of your color choice
Reviewer: Anonymous , Independence, MO

This is a great stroller ! I should know I have owned at least 10 others including Maclarens and Peg Preggos. This is by far the best. You really can fold it with one hand while holding your child. It has very few features but you can purchase the extras, I did I bought the cooler, child tray, foot muff, all have worked well. The only negative thing that I have to say is that I plan to purchase the double and none of the extras will work for both the single and the double so I will have to buy all new accessories which gets really expensive. Also be careful of the color that you choose. I have the red and black which is great (black fabric by foot rest) but a friend has the green and gray it is only 3 months old and the foot rest area (which has fabric on it) is already looking stained and dirty from her 2 year old climbing in and out. I know that she also loves the stroller but is disappointed in her color choice. Overall I love it, my baby loves it, I would buy it again.

The BEST stroller ever.
Reviewer: Anonymous , Ft. Lauderdale, FL

After a four month and very expensive process I finally found the perfect stroller. I purchase the perego aria which the lock broke in a matter of three weeks. The chicco cortina was huge. The chicco trevi was useless. And the perego pliko is over priced and over rated.(You need to be a rocket scientist to fold it up) The city mini strolls better than all of them and is extremely easy to fold. You can actually hold your child in one arm and fold the stroller with your other hand. It will fit in the smallest of trunks. (I have a VW bug) I live in Florida and finally there is a stroller with a big enough sun canopy. My 4 month old laughs every time I put him in the stroller and it is the only place he will nap. It is great you can accessorize it with the things you need.
