City mini jogger double, question and reviews anyone?
Im looking into this stroller for a newborn and 18 month old. Just looking for overall impression from anyone who has it.
- is the car seat adaptor good? Does it feel tippy with the carseat on?
- Is it good for the mall / stores or too bulky?
Thanks!

Re: City mini jogger double, question and reviews anyone?
I recently bought this stroller. I absolutely love it. I had two other stroller before and wish I bought it sooner. My boys are 2 and 4 so I can't comment on the carseat adapter. My 4 year old usually doesn't use a stroller but we have 3 vacations planned this year including Disney and he still naps.
The stroller is so easy to push even with my 50 pound 4 year old. It is perfect for the mall. It is definitely not a full jogging stroller if that is what you are looking for. HTH.

Re: City mini jogger double, question and reviews anyone?
Thanks so much. I plan on getting an additional jogger because I do run. I was planning on using the city mini for errands and mall trips but didnt know if it would be to bulky for in and out of the car and manuvering through stores.

Re: City mini jogger double, question and reviews anyone?
I haven't bought it yet (plan on getting there in the next few weeks), but I also have a newborn and 18 month old. I tried so many double strollers and this one seemed the best for us. I have heard great things and am so excited they have the carseat adapter for it now.

You can get it at Buy Buy Baby and use a 20% off coupon, making it even cheaper! That is what I plan to do. I have to decide on the color though. Actually thinking of maybe going tonight.

I don't think you can use it on Baby Jogger. It is listed in the exclusions. I could be wrong or you could get a cashier that lets you use it.

Re: City mini jogger double, question and reviews anyone?
I have a friend at stroller strides who uses one for her 1 year and 2 1/2 year old. she love it but just from seeing it in class, I'm not sure it is all that much smaller than a double BOB. I mean, it is smaller, but not very much, IMO. Then again, I haven't folded or stored them, just seen friends with them.

This is correct, you CAN NOT use the 20% off coupon at BBB for Baby Jogger. Its a total bummer!

I have the strooler and bought it at Buy Buy Baby. I do not think they accept the coupon on that stroller.

Re: City mini jogger double, question and reviews anyone?
I had every intention on purchasing it until I saw it with the adapter. I went to Buy buy baby and they have one set up with the adapter on it. It is big and stays on when you fold it. It made the stroller so much bigger and I thought it would be annoying to put in the trunk with big metal bars hanging off it it. Also, when you placed the car seat into it, it sat up way too high, the baby was in an awkward spot. I did like the stroller though. I purchased another one, but may end up getting this one when the baby is out of the infant carrier.

Have you checked out the bumbleride indie twin they have a sample one at BBB. I was looking at both he city mini jogger and the indie twin and went with the indie twin b.c it seemed more comfortable when I put DD in it and a car seat. It is a jogger if you want to use it as one.
