Baby Jogger City Mini
The Baby Jogger City Mini is a very light three-wheel stroller. It is available also in the higher four-wheel version as the Baby Jogger City Mini 4. It is easy to handle on good and rougher city sidewalks. The non-reversible seat is very spacious. Thanks to the weight capacity of up to 23 kg, it can handle even a bigger child. For the smallest ones, you can recline the backrest flat. However, the leg rest cannot be adjusted. The long hood has two peek-a-boo windows. The storage space of the shopping basket is expanded with additional pockets in both the hood and on the back of the seat. Using adapters, you can attach a car seat or a carrycot to the stroller. You can choose the narrower foldable Compact carrycot or the sturdy Deluxe carrycot. All accessories, including the bumper bar or a snack tray, must be purchased separately.

Parent reviews of the Baby Jogger City Mini
All great, but I don't like the 3 wheels.
- light
- foldable (easy to take off the wheels, so it's great for storage)
- one-handed folding
- I don't know how other strollers have it, but you have to buy a belly bar (but again, you can choose simple or with a tray, so maybe it's an advantage)
- if you want a really fitting raincoat, then only the original Baby Jogger
We bought the stroller "for our grandma" so we wouldn't have to carry our pushchair there. It's a light, compact, easy to handle type of stroller (not suitable for the forest path, though).
- Lightweight
An older model, but it suits us. Big hood, can be put up to a lie-flat position, legs can be put a little higher - the little one can sleep in the seat, and has plenty of space to sit in. Very light and compact when folded.
Lightweight, comfortable. It can handle even the toughest terrain.
We have used the City Mini for over 5 years with our eldest, and never had any problems - it's a sturdy pushchair.
Very easy to maneuver. Lightweight, compact, spacious, comfortable for the child. Folds with one hand. 🔝
The ony downside is the missing leg rest adjustment.
- lightweight
- spacious
- lays completely flat
- sturdy chassis
- long canopy
- big basket
The best stroller. Great manipulation, great fold. Fits even in a small car boot. "Grows" with the child - we used it from 8 months up to 4 years. I also recommend it for plane trips.
- Large basket
- Large hood
- The bumper bar is sold separately; otherwise, it's an awesome stroller
It's so-very-spacious, this stroller.
Your questions about the Baby Jogger City Mini
I am looking for the carrycot/bassinet attachment for a City Mini, but having trouble figuring out what is compatible. Is it the same carrycot attachment used with the Bsby Jogger City Select?
Hey, Ellen,
To attach a carryot, you need the City Mini carrycot adapters - even the right carrycot won't be attached without them. The older Deluxe carrycot, as well as the foldable Compact carrycot from Baby Jogger is compatible. And it is not the carrycot from the City Select, unfortunately.
If you cannot find a compatible bassine + adaptors, as the model is discontinued, you can still try to use it with a soft insert cot (any universal, e.g. from Hauck, will do), and/or car seat (with adapters) for a newborn.
Does the Babyjogger Glider board work for the City Mini2? And the belly bar for the City Mini2 on this stroller too?
Thank you
Maria
Hi, Maria,
The Glider Boards buggy boards (1 and 2) are working for both the first and the second generation of the City Minis, so yes, you can use that on both.
The belly bars are only dedicated to either the first or the second gen, so the bar for the City Mini 1 is only for the City Mini 2 and the GT2, and the one for the city Mini 1 is only for that one and the GT(1). You cannot interchange the belly bars, unfortunately.
