Best pram ever! – We purchased the City Mini Zip as our second pram. Our main pram was the City Mini GT which I also love. The Zip was the perfect travel companion taking us all over the world with our little one. It is nice and light, folds up compact and is the best compact pram! Highly recommended! It even became my favorite over the GT. Show details

Love it!! – This pram is a boot saver! It’s folds down smaller than a portacot, so having 5 kids I need boot space and I still have it. Push of a button and pull handle and it’s collapsed in 2seconds flat. No fiddling around, strong and sturdy pram as it’s 4 wheels. I would love to see them put pump up wheels like the GT models of other baby jogger models.… Read more

From newborn to toddler it’s great and I feel the kids are safe. You can also buy the bracket separately to accomodate a capsule. Plus it comes with drink cup holder for the adult, winning!!

OK for light use, not the most comfy stroller – Overall this is a OK stroller, but not the most comfy for your little one. Some pros: - We've used this mostly while shopping or walking on even surface so far and it's very easy to maneuver, even with one hand. - The pram is very lightweight so for me as a small Asian woman, I don't have any trouble with handling it. Folding and unfolding is… Read more

pretty easy. It's compact when fold. - The shade is very big - It can recline to almost flat - which is useful when baby sleeps. - Has a basket and coffee cup/bottle holder

Cons: - Not the most comfy one. The seat is not very well cushioned. Also it can not sit up right. So this pram will mostly suitable for small babies, not when they get bigger and want to explore the world. - It's not reversible ( which I didn't realise when I bought it)

As a first time mum, I don't have much experience with other prams. But if I have another chance I wouldn't buy it again.

Everything you need in a pram! – This pram is absolutely fantastic, its lightweight, onehanded fold, easy to manouvre and very stable with 4 wheels. Used it for years and easy clean too. Great quality. We tried a big bulky pram (different brand) before knowing what you really need in a pram and then after another bub we decided to get a 2 seater city select, a fantastic pram for 2, but we still come back to the city mini longterm as it is pure convenience and ease.

Compact pram that takes a capsule – The fold takes a bit to get used to but once you master that you have what I believe to be one of the best prams on the market. I used a Maxi Cosi Mico AP Capsule with my Baby Jogger Zip using adaptors for the first few months and then put bub in pram which reclines almost flat for naps. It’s easy to manoeuvre and so slim, can fit through… Read more

anywhere which meant I could even take bub into standard change rooms.

Now, I purchased the tour and sold my zip as I wanted something to take on airline which don’t get me wrong can be convenient. Although the Tour is quite flimsy... the Zip is so much more sturdy, the sunhood is 100 times better too and now we are having our second baby I need a capsule again so I just bought another Zip and sold my Tour. Also some airlines let you take Zip onboard.

So happy to have the Zip back in my life.

Good – Its good and convenient. It has shock absorbers so not too stressful for the baby. We havent found anything inappropriate in the pram. I would have prefdered to have a bottle holder just in case when the baby is required to be fed and when taking a pause there is no place to keep the bottle holder

Its ok – I got this pram as a gift I loved the idea of how compact it folds up. I liked it for a little bit then I got over it. Reasons I did like it - its easy to push with one hand (most of the time) -it fits in the back of my toyota prado witch is a small space. -I like the idea of the big sunshade. Reasons I don't like it -Its quite ugly… Read more

compared to other prams on the market.

-It can be hard to fold up

-My pram hates rain goes all stif at weels for a while after wet weather.

-front weels always lock up and hard to unlock.

-When baby gets heavier its hard to push

-I hate how the seat reclines its with a stap, and it doesn't sit up all the way my baby hates this.

Awesome stroller, worth the $! – Great stroller! Feels really solid for such a light compact stroller. Can easily steer one handed. Super easy to fold and unfold. Great for big babies, has a high max weight limit. Basket a little hard to get to but such a minor complaint. Great maneuvering capability. Awesome travel stroller too, meets carry on requirements for most airlines & it’s so light! Best baby purchase we’ve made.

Such a portable little pram – I’ve used this pram since birth for 4.5 mths, lays flat for newborn and can easily move up back of seat so baby can look around when walking around. Folds down simply with the press of a button and pull of one strap. It only takes up a little room in the boot. Great pram for walking around the shops and on foot paths,

Love this stroller! – I use this stroller to keep in the car/for when we go away and totally love it, possibly more than our larger pram! I think it's sturdier then most strollers of this style, especially given it's light weight. Ours has been on a few flights and down some rough paths and it's still handling well. It's not a pram for regular off-road use though -it's… Read more

a bit bumpy/rattly on rougher paths, but again, you can't expect a small stroller with little wheels to do that well down a rough path!

It's super light and easy to lift and folds up nice and small. Has a fantastic hood, which so many umbrella strollers don't. I never need to drape a blanket for extra shade. Reclines well and my son sleeps in it better than our other pram.

I sometimes find the one handed fold a little bit difficult, but not impossible. The pram is supposed to fold when you lift the handle in the seat, but it seems the weight of the pram isn't actually enough to do this properly. It's easy to unfold. My only other dislike is this basket is a little bit hard to access... but again, I wouldn't expect a compact stroller to have much of a basket anyway so I'm not that bothered by it - and it's still probably better than most strollers of similar style/size.

Easy to use and collapse – I've had the Baby Jogger City Mini for 8 months and have used it everyday. Whether a long or short outing this pram has been great to use. It moves smoothly, it's not too heavy and quite compact when collapsed. I also like how easy it is to collapse using one hand. I really like the way the harness straps works. If little one is asleep I don't… Read more

have to try move arms to get free I just unclick harness and it comes apart in two spots so no need to disturb baby.

Fantastic compact stroller with pram features – I LOVE this stroller. I recently purchased it with baby no 5 on the way and limited boot space. I folds so simply, and very compact i have my boot back! While waiting for baby to arrive i have been using it for my 3.5yo and am impressed with seat size, stroller weight and ease of pushing with him in it. I love that this stroller has an… Read more

adjustable footrest for a smaller bub and offers a recline to suit from newborn.

The seat also offers a bit of padding and i would be happy to use it without a liner.

The back area rolls up to expose a mesh breathable area where you can see sleeping baby.

The seat recline isnt super straight but my 3.5 yo is happy.

The harness is easily adjustable and holds well.

Pretty good hood coverage for bub. Interesting fabric use for hood but assume its to keep it light weight and foldable

Its not great off road but it was never designed to used off road.

The only disappointment i have with this stroller is that they dont offer capsule adapters to suit the britax unity which is the capsule i have. But Baby Jogger do for their other prams. They do have capsule adapters for other capsules.

I would love to see the travel bag included with the pram purchase and a peek a boo window in the hood.

I have also purchased the belly bar for this stroller and quite like it as an added accessory. There is no snack tray for bub available as the pram wouldnt fold. However a parent cup holder does come with the stroller.

Would definitely recommend this stroller.

Perfect - love this stroller – This is a very light pram easy to maneuver - easy to fold!! And most importantly folds into a small stroller. Perfect for all ages as it fits larger toddlers. This is my 3rd stroller and best one by far!! I found baby jogger to be very reliable and sturdy

Perfect pram! – I love love love this pram! I have no problem zipping through the shops or park. Bub doesn't fill any bumps or rocks while in it. Very wide and spacious - suits tall babies! Basket is big but hard to get in & out of. Only downside is that the attachments are quite expensive but most universal ones do fir it!

Love this pram – Light weight so no problems getting in and out of the car. Can steer with one hand which is great when I had to hold my daughter and push the pram. Quick fold is super convenient. Its also tall enough to fit my toddler which the sales person pointed out alot are quite short. Maybe a bit more space underneath but really, if you need to carry more, get a trolley. Can't fault it.

Just What We Wanted – I read many bad reviews for this pram when I started looking but I can say I haven't for a minute regretted my decision to ignore them. If you're looking for a hybrid stroller/pram that is compact and easy to use then this is a great choice. I love that it folds down to the size of a travelling cot which means I can fit my shopping in the boot… Read more

of the car with the pram. It's comfortable for my child to sit in and lie down for naps. It has a reasonable storage space in the carry basket below for the extra stuff you need to carry, and you can fit a nappy bag on the handle as long as they have their own hooks. The pram is great for walking on footpaths and using around the shops, and for those quick trips that you might take. There is no issues with steering or the durability of the wheels. After almost 12 months of use the wear and tear on the pram is minimal and nothing that is unreasonable. The only thing I would say is I wouldn't recommend it if you're a runner or doing a lot of off road walking with it though.

I would only suggest this for people when their baby is ready to be forward facing as it is less flexible than the average pram model, but it still has the little benefits of a large coverage hood & a breathable rear section for when the pram is reclining.

If you're contemplating this model then I'd highly recommend getting a walk through at a shop to make sure it suits your needs (like all prams really) but I wouldn't hesitate to suggest this pram to someone looking to take that first step for their toddler but not yet ready for the basic cheap umbrella stroller.

Wonderful Zippy Little Stroller – Light-weight, easy to manoeuvre, excellent hood coverage, adjustable leg rest & easy to access / reasonably sized basket. I love the fold of this stroller & I also love how quick and easy it is to do. This stroller is a great option for quick trips / runaround stroller. Only negative is all accessories are sold separately (except the cup holder, which is included).

We only had it 12 hours then returned it - never left the house with it ! – As soon as the pram was assembled we noticed one of the front wheels stiff and not as agile in swivelling. We also felt the back wheels made the ride bumpy. It was so bad we unassembled it straight away and returned it the next morning. The customer service person tried to tell me the wheel had to be "worn in" but I stood my ground. I was so… Read more

glad to see the back of that pram and a credit in my account.

Positive points:

+ the pram is so easy to assemble!

+ the pram's fold down and up ability - which is something the salesperson will tell you. But, to be honest I've tried four prams in my day and you get super efficient (and strong!) at dealing with the most awkward of prams.

I ended up getting a Bumbleride Indie and although it may not look as well made (the welding looks a bit cheap) I'm really happy with it.

Perfect pram. was sad to see it go – Loved this pram. Steering was great, folded up flat and so easy to fold one handed. My only "problem" was that the accessories (tray, bar and rain cover) are so expensive and hard to find. Got this pram second hand sold it 2 years later and still looked new But overall a great pram. A pleasure to push and own.

Light Weight and Compact – Bought from ToysRUs for $429 a month ago to travel overseas. It's lightweight and easy to fold for us to get in and out of taxis/car to different destination, just need to always remember to take out your shopping goods out of the basket before you fold, we forgot a couple of times and wonder why it didn't fold properly. It's easy enough to… Read more

maneuver and have no problem turning corners. However the footpath ride is only so-so, all the bumpy uneven surface is not quite for the tiny wheels this MiniZip, but no problem at all for flat surface. When shopping overseas the basket underneath is roomy enough for us to put all shopping. We also bought couples of "s" hook to put the baby bag, however due to the light weight of the stroller we have to be careful as it will sometimes tip backwards if we hang too many things on the handle.

The seat recline nearly flat and good for baby to snooze while we do our shopping and the hood size is reasonable size as a block out while baby is sleeping. Love the pickaboo/mesh window allow ventilation & fully sealed sides where baby won't have potential to fall/slide out when u mounting kerb with baby sleeping inside the stroller.

Fabric is bit thin so we have to buy a pram liner for extra padding, but understand something have to make way for the light weight. Love the step&step on break system instead of some other stroller where you need to step&lift system is not convenient when i have slippers on instead of shoe it hurt my foot.

Love this stroller. Hope BabyJogger can enhance the MiniZip version to provide mum with choise for baby to face mum or the world.

Solid all round pram – I researched prams my entire Pregnancy & would never buy anything other than a baby jogger, they are the only brand that the frame felt solid to me, & the only pram I found that offered a lifetime warranty on the frame. I also was not interested in mucking around with capsules & bassinets for a few months only when this pram can be used from… Read more

newborn right thru, it lays flat for a newborn & I just used a padded liner & head support.

I have used this pram now for a year and a half & it is still as new like the day I received it, extremely light & one hand quick fold, the only accessory I purchased was a parent console, I went for the four wheel over the 3 as it felt more stable to me, I have always hung my bag over the handle with at times 1 1/2 litres of water in it & it never felt like it would tip, that said I did have a heavy baby thou, for those with very small newborns may feel lifting at the front, if you hang your bag on it, I place the bag strap lower down on the bar with the strap extended so that the bag can rest on the foot bar. I love the solid handle bar on this Pram over any of the adjustable ones as they don't feel solid they move & make noise even when locked in place, love the large canopy on this pram which lowers quite far, & it is strong & stable that you can rest even large items on it against the handle bar when shopping like a box of nappies, love that it has a foot brake over a hand brake, the only thing I would like for this pram are GT wheels however baby jogger don't make a 4 wheel mini with them so the only option is a 3 wheel GT with the wonky handle, wasn't an option for me, so far a year n half the Eva wheels are handling the road & foot paths but I know eventually they will need to be replaced, maybe another year but it's no biggy the wheels are about $160 delivered. & if you get a few years out of them then that's good to me, I use this pram on all terrain & the front suspension is great, if you were only using it for shopping etc, you would probably never need to change the Eva wheels.

No support - Pram faulty - Now our problem – We have owned our Baby Jogger for 17 months and the quick release broke after 13 months of use and now the folding mechanism has broken on one side - the pram is collapsing on onside. Distributor will not take responsibility since the MFG is in America and it comes with 12 month warranty - we expected this pram to last longer than 17 months. The… Read more

distributor even said it should last longer than this!?!?! - So disappointed considering the large amount of money we paid for this pram. We will not be using another Baby Jogger Pram for our next child. What a joke!

A compact stroller with pram features! – The compact fold is amazing. For a stroller that resembles a baby jogger pram, it certainly folds down small: full recline, spacious seat, storage basket, decent canopy, 4 wheels, one touch brake, round handle for one hand pushing, 5 point safety harness, adjustable foot well. It has the baby jogger one hand fold, though I find myself using… Read more

two hands, one to lift the strap and one to push down the handle to make it fold.

It is easy to fold, light and compact to store (even after I added a pram caddy to the handles) and travel with. The basket is surprisingly roomy. I fit a laptop bag, a nappy sack and still has room for 4 medium bags of groceries!

The long seat accommodates for larger and taller children, so even a 4-5 year old can use.

Easy to push and maneuver, especially in crowded shops and non pram friendly shop fittings.

It is also travel system compatible. Though I haven't used the pram with a capsule.

It can recline fully, and with the adjustable foot well, even newborns can use this.

The pram can stand on it's own after folding, though you need to be sure the wheels are sitting right to do this, otherwise it will topple over and scratch the pram.

Now, the cons of this pram.

It has no peekaboo window in the canopy. I'm the kind of mother that likes to keep an eye on my child, even when they're sleeping. To me, it's either leave the canopy up, or lose sight of the child. I didn't like that. Especially when having a peekaboo window wouldn't compromise its compact fold.

Not enough padding on the seat. Then I suppose it needed to fold compactly, so extra padding may compromise that. Though I have added a pram liner, and the pram still folds well. It even fits into the traveling bag with the pram liner, pram caddy, and several pram hooks still attached.

For AUD$479 it us a bit pricey, especially when the accessories needed to be bought separately and they themselves comes at a price. However if you catch it on special, like at Baby Bunting for $378. It's well worth the money. For some reason, the red colour variation is not that well stocked. Most common is black, but it does also come in teal.

You need to push down the handle and foot rest to completely unfold the pram. This pram still works well if you don't, but not as safe.

You can buy accessories like a belly bar for the pram. Though if you have the belly bar attached, you will need to remove it otherwise the pram won't fit in the traveling bag.

The traveling bag is bought separately. It's comfortable to carry. Not too heavy with the pram inside. Nothing that will poke you in the back or anything.

Overall a great pram, not just for traveling but for everyday use. The wheels are not built for rough terrain, so for everyday shopping centres and footpath use, it's great. Would really like a peekaboo window though.

Good pram design, but poor product warranty and post sales care – The pram has a great design and function. i.e easy fold up mechanism. Its great as we have taken it on overseas trip twice and works even better getting into a taxi with two young ones. However, we only used the pram for about 4-5 months over 3 years as it is a back up for a our main pram, mamas and mapas urbo. The prams wheel housing started… Read more

lock straight which is really fustrating, and dangerous( traffic etc) when trying to manouver on the sidewalk.

I contacted the distributor who advised that it was not covered under waranty, and is no t part of the frame(lifetime). i.e I had to pay $105 to get new set of front wheels for a pram that has only seen 4-5 months of use. Unreasonable i think.

I recommend the design of the pram, but not the company itself. Our Mama's and papas pram had a similar issue, and the company replaced the whole pram, no questions asked.

when they're little, and means we could bring her inside from the car still asleep. We're just starting to use it as 'just' a pram now that she's getting a bit big for the capsule. We liked the four wheels because it seems a bit more stable, and we use it mostly on pavement and a bit on mowed grass in parks as well, it's handling that fine.

pram and feel confident it will not tip. The basket storage is great and is easy to get into compared to other prams when the seat is in full recline position. The sun shade is also a great feature as it covers bubs completely when they are little. The seat is large compared to other prams and will easily get you through until your child will no longer need a pram or stroller. I also have an umbrella style Maclaren stroller but this Baby Jogger City Mini will replace it as is folds very small and it is easier to fold than the stroller. I can steer the pram handed and my daughter who is 5 can also very easily steer the pram. The pram feels very well made from very strong materials. The only negative about the pram which I knew when I bought it is I wish the seat would recline to a completely flat position opposed to slightly tilted. It is a very easy all round pram stroller and looks great too. the seat in the fully recline position could be completely flat opposed to slight tilted
