see 2 parent reviews

The Baby Jogger City Versa GT is a higher version of the City Versa. Unlike the lower model, the GT has all-terrain wheels with foam-filled tires. The suspension is milder and only on the front wheels. The stroller can handle even more demanding surfaces. From the original Versa, it differs with matte fabric of the seat and black rivets on the chassis instead of the silver ones.

The Versa GT is a stroller with a very spacious bucket seat. The seat can be tilted to a reclined position. You can enlarge the seat by extending the leg rest. The high weight capacity allows pushing even a larger child. You can fold the stroller with just one hand and with the seat facing in either direction. For the smallest children, a carrycot and a car seat are available. All accessories, including the bumper bar, must be purchased separately.

parents say thx^^

Beautiful, super maneuverable

4
  • Option to use the hoods from Bugaboo Buffalo or Donkey
  • Controllability
  • Quiet push
  • Storage
  • Large basket
  • Nice design
  • Positioning does not go to a full lie flat
  • The elastic bands on the basket loosen over time
  • For me, the seat belts are a bit impractical

Beautiful, super maneuverable stroller. The only thing it lacks to perfection is reclining to a full, flat recline, as the bucket won't put the baby totally flat. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about.

  • Reversible seat unit
  • Large, easily accessible shopping basket
  • Awesome all-terrain wheels
  • Gate-opening bumper bar
  • Not much suspension on the wheels
  • The wheels started to wobble after a long time of using the pushchair
  • I would be happy for an extendable canopy
  • The canopy could be higher up - a toddler with a winter hat is hard to fit under it

A very pleasant-to-use pushchair good also for lighter terrain. Spacious even for a larger toddler - with the exception of the canopy, which could have been even higher. What made me unhappy, however, were the front wheels that started to wobble (I bought the pushchair pre-loved, used already with one child). If moving quickly with our pushchair, the wheels wobble really a lot, making it all less stable. I was told it's an easily removable defect, but it disappointed me - with a pushchair of this price range.

Your questions about the Baby Jogger City Versa GT

1)

Which model of baby bassinet can I use for the versa 2019 model? (from original French: Quel modèle de landeau je peux utiliser pour le modèle versa 2019?)

Hey, Mélanie,

You will need to find either the Compact Carrycot (like this one on eBay, or the "Deluxe Carrycot" (like this one). The best is to browse classifieds or eBay as it's not a new model so it may not be easily available in a baby store.

2)

Will the Baby Jogger child tray model # BJ91502 fit directly to City Versa GT?

Hey, Grant,

I cannot tell you by the model number, I am sorry. The tray for the City Premier will fit the Versa / Versa GT, otherwise no other tray will.

3)

Can I use the stroller with double infant car seats for my twins?

Hi, Funmi,

No, unfortunately, this is a SINGLE stroller only. To have a Baby Jogger with two car seats, you need the Baby Jogger City Select/Baby Jogger City Select Lux double stroller. Only that one accepts two capsules at the same time.
