Great travel stroller, November 30, 2008

Pros: size, maneuverability, fold, sunshade
Cons: none discovered so far

We live overseas and wanted a stroller we could travel easily with. We are soooo happy that we bought the bjcm. It works great on cobblestone paths, fits through narrow European doors, and of course the fold is super easy and fast. The brake is sturdy and the sunshade has come in handy as a weather shield, too. It is easy to use with public transportation-buses, trains, metros, etc. The safety belts and the recline features are easy and quick to adjust, which is nice when the baby is in the seat. The basket is fine-just go at it from the side, not the back. We bought a jogging stroller liner so that we could use the stroller from birth, and that has worked well. This stroller is something that both my dh and I am really happy with!

Like it but don't love it, September 11, 2008

Overall Grade   7.00/10  (7)


Pros: Lightweight, easy to manuever and collapse, nice looking
Cons: Basket too small, seat doesn't go up enough

Basically, it's a good stroller. It's super lightweight and easy to collapse, can be maneuvered with one hand which I love, and is nice to look at. It has a great sunshade and hardly takes up any room in the trunk.

Would I buy it again though? I'm not sure. The under basket is way too small, there's no parent cupholder and the seat doesn't go up nearly enough to my son's liking. Also, the child tray (which has to be purchased separately!) is way too high. My son is 13 months already and is a pretty tall boy and he STILL has trouble seeing over it.

As a side note, I tried to order the parent console, had my order in for 30 days and was expecting it any day... and the order got canceled due to backorder. So I still can't have coffee while I wheel him around!

Pros: Maneuverability, easy one-hand/one-step fold, weight, price
Cons: None

We’re in NYC and wanted a stroller that wasn’t too heavy, easy to maneuver, could fold easily to take on subways and buses, and could easily roll on the bumpy sidewalks. The City Mini meets all of these criteria. The BJCM also had ample storage - under the seat and behind the seat (though the latter is difficult to access when the seat is fully reclined). There is padding on all of the straps, though one of them falls off easily (does not seem like this should be a deterrent).

I thought I had to give up on wanting a snack bar for DD, however, there are many accessories available to order, including a snack bar for the baby (though it seems a bit too high for a small baby) and console for the parent. It is very reasonably priced. Many websites have free shipping.

So happy that this was our final pick after shopping around and reading the message boards and other reviews.
