Okay we finally got our new floor model of the brand new Baby Jogger City Micro to play with and the verdict is – we are impressed.
For the price, we think this is one of our top picks for a toddler stroller/lightweight stroller. Okay the recline is really nill. It says two position but all it means is your toddlers head won’t slump forward. It’s no real recline. The canopy isn’t as good as the Baby Jogger City Mini version but it’s not bad for an “umbrella stroller” wanna-be.
The wheels also aren’t as hardy as the City Mini but we thought the push was excellent and we were pushing each other around the store. Which means two things 1) if it can push over 100 lbs of weight (lets leave it at that vague number) nicely – it can push your kid easily and 2) If it can fit my butt in it, it’s roomy enough for your kid!
FYI – The weight was literally exactly the same as the Baby Jogger City Mini weight so while you lose recline, canopy and dollars you need to spend, you don’t get a poundage savings at all.
Our real moment of awe was when we loaded my HUGE 44 inch preschooler in there and he really fit. Not just sort of fit but REALLY fit without looking all squished and funny. We even took pics to prove it.
So whether you are headed to a theme park (more on that soon), visit to grandma’s, or just some summer fun but don’t want a spend a lot on a stroller for this purpose alone – you really won’t go wrong with the Baby Jogger City Micro! Double version arrives next month!
