Your questions about the Baby Jogger City Lite
Is it suitable for airplane travel to take as carry-on luggage?
Hey, Tine,
No, the stroller's folded size of 76.2 cm x 58.5 cm x 28 cm is larger than any cabin luggage requirement I know, so you won't be able to take this on board as a carry-on, unfortunately.
I have inherited my sister's City Lite, could you suggest a bumper (belly) bar that would be suitable for it please?
Hi, Gemma,
Apart from the original bumper bar or tray, which are not really sold anywhere and the only thing I can recommend is to browse classifieds and eBay, I would only suggest have one universal made. A tailor could make you a semi-rigid tube being sewn around plus Velcros attached on the side. Other than that, you'll probably have to use your pushchair without a bumper bar.
