Good at first but has its flaws – We purchased the baby jogger city tour with all the best hopes we also own a bugaboo large pram. This was only used a few times for travel but doesn’t live up to the baby jogger expectation of quality. Firstly the back top of the seat is folding inward and my baby’s head is not able to sit back comfortably , second the front part of the frame is… Read more

clicking and for some reason constantly locks one of the wheels in place which makes maneuvering difficult, no adjustable height handlebar makes it hard to steer however this is to be expected for the sake of size.

Overall I would probably not be likely to recommend to anyone to buy as I don’t feel like they go out of the way to help customers when they have a concerns in the event you have misplaced your receipt pretty much don’t bother with their warranty! And it’s common to not keep every single receipt these days with the million things people purchase.

Toddler friendly – We use it on a regular basis as we travel in Public transport. Hardlt takes any space in our Sedan. We have a full size Bugaboo cameleon 3 as well but for daily use we prefer taking the Tour. Only disadvantage is when the baby falls asleep unlike the Tour 2 the leg rest is fixed. The baby has a difficulty with the legs hanging. Show details

Lightweight but – It’s very lightweight. Only 6.5kg. However, the compartment underneath is very small. So I need to hang my shopping things on the handler. But this cause the stroller to flip backwards whenever I lift my daughter up. I need to remember to take out my shopping first before lifting her. But it does its job well, it even withstand our hiking trip where the terrain is full of pebbles and sand. So all in all it’s quite a nice pram Show details ·  1

Great pram – The pram was a great first pram for our baby. Very comfy, lightweight and folded easily. The pram manoeuvres easily, the brakes lever is easy to pull but the circle button to unlock was a bit tricky at times. We bought a paddedcoverlet to put over the seat as it didnt look comfy, the padding was a bit thin to my liking. One thing i didnt like was… Read more

sometimes the handlebar felt a bit flimsy, not as tough and rigid as some other brands but overall it was a great pram.

Handy compact stroller! – Bought this stroller for our smaller second car. It's been really handy for shopping trips and weekends away. Folding it up is a bit fiddly and sometimes the red button doesn't release fully, but once we got used to this it became easier and I can now do it while holding my toddler. It fits in the area below the car seat of required so leaves lots… Read more

of boot space when we go away and have luggage. I find the seat a bit shallow, but my son seems comfortable enough. I may end up adding the belly bar for this reason when he's a bit bigger. Great sun canopy. Overall we're really happy with this product.

Love it for popping to the shops in the car and travelling – I’ve now rented out my pram as I love it so much and it’s awesome for travelling. I find the bucket is enough for my carrier, water bottle, food and some shopping. It does go on as carry on on most airlines - so far mine has been to Wales, Magnetic Island, Melbourne lots of times and Fiji. Everyone that rents it loves it.

Perfect travel stroller- small and mobile – This travel stroller is perfect for any travelling or for everyday use. It folds up small and into a backpack styled bag which makes travelling easier and is so small it can fit into a plane overhead locker. The pram itself is also very handy for everyday use as the fold is a simple 2 step process.

Great little stroller, perfect for quick trips and holidays – I love ours and I’m glad we’ve got it, it’s a small travel stroller that looks much nicer than the umbrella strollers but is still a reasonable price, it has a decent layback (not fully flat but enough for a midday nap) and you can steer with one hand. I have the navy blue colour which I love, it hides the dirt fairly well. It is smaller but even… Read more

my 6 foot 4 husband can fairly easily push it and so can my 8 year old. Storage wise though you do need to pack light, the basket is a decent size but tricky to access, there’s also a mesh pocket on the back of the seat, I’ve added a parent caddy to the handlebars too, the hood is quite large but doesn’t intrude on the handbag space. Folding is easy, can be done single handed if you have to. The wheels are small so it’s not suitable for all terrain but has handled the bumpy footpaths of Bali, plenty of shopping centres and has been great for popping down the road to do school drop off etc.

If I could change anything to give it 5 stars it would be to make the seat a little deeper and a bit for leg room for a taller older kid and better access for the storage areas... otherwise, it’s a total winner!

This stroller is a game changer! – I bought this stroller to go to Fiji with as I can board it on a plane! It will now more then likely take place of our redsbaby in our everyday life it’s so simple to put up and down and takes up such minimal space! We are in love!

Great pram. Game changer – We love our baby jogger, city tour pram. Originally purchased it to be our travel pram only when baby was 6 months. After realising how light it was and so much easier to get in and out of the car, we stopped using our silvercross pram and have used this as our main pram ever since. Child seems comfortable in it too. The pram has done some miles in different terrain and is still holding up nicely

Just needs more storage but it is a COMPACT stroller – I love almost everything about it.... I just wish the storage was a bit more generous and on some polished store floors the wheels have a tendency to not always turn well. Great for boot space and weight though! Fits easily in my car with the shopping. Also wish the sun visor would fit more comfortably half way as extended fully down blocks my… Read more

Great for international travel – I purchased this pram with the intention of using it for an international flight. I knew from passed experience that once it’s “gate checked” you don’t see it until your final destination will be left with nothing during layovers. I was excited that I could take this pram on board with me. One flight attendant made me demonstrate at the gate… Read more

counter how small it folds to prove that it’ll fit in the overhead compartment. She was of course impressed! Now that our international flying days are less I use it as the “car pram” for my 3.5yo and it’s great for the shopping centres! My few cons are as followed: to unfold the pram is a little awkward I haven’t mastered this yet and I’ve had it for almost a year, if you’re using a caddy to hold things you can’t access unless you move the canopy out so if you want a drink in the holder you have to have the canopy in use and lastly the basket is good size but hard to get in to. I do think it was money well spent especially since I did so much international traveling with it. I got the Black colour but wish I got the cobalt blue.

Great for travelling in City area – Light and easy to carry when folded and placed inside its bag. Very easy and simple to fold and unfold. Easy to maneuver. Easy to use the brake. Suitable for up to 5 or 6 year old. Great to use when travelling in city area as the size is not big and the weight is not heavy. Good build quality.

Handy travel stroller – This stroller came in very handy for both my kids. I have a 5yo and a 10mo. It is very easy to fold, and unfold, and is compact enough to fit into the boot of a small car. We even could fold it up and place it with us under or at the side of us in a restaurant. The flight we took was full so we couldn’t bring it onboard but it travelled in the bag… Read more

(provided) well and we had no issues with it being checked in. My older boy is average height so the buckle was a little tight when we laid the seat down (but it wasn’t really meant for him). The seat which people have complained about was not an issue for us as they are not big kids. I did find the 5 point harness fiddly as I needed to clip it in to strap my younger son in but it worked out great for my older one as he did not need the top harness. I would recommend this stroller for people looking for something lightweight and compact.

Hmmm, a mixed bag – When I first purchased this to use with my then 18 month old - I loved it and so did bubs. But then I took it on two trips - by the second a bolt had come lose inside the wheel affecting the break and locking it on periodically. Yes I travelled with it - but that’s the point. Also two Australian airlines wouldn’t let me take it as cabin baggage… Read more

despite it being the only thing I took in flight as it was to quote “too big and heavy.” As a pushchair I like it but not as a travel pram which is a pity.

Amazing! Light! Comfortable! – If you buy this pram you will not be disappointed! I bought this pram to travel with because I was travelling without my husband and wanted something I could wheel to the gate and pop into the overhead compartment and it certainly ticked that box and fitted into the overhead compartment of a focker100 (that in itself deserves 5 stars). I’ve since… Read more

returned from my trip and find myself using it as my every day pram! It’s so easy to maneuver, it folds so easy and takes up no boot space and most importantly my baby sits up the front like a boss as happy as can be! (I bought the bellybar)

Ultimate in portability! – It takes a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but once you do...fantastic! This pram opens up with one hand in about 20 seconds! Takes about 30 seconds and two hands to fold it up. It's lightweight, yet sturdy enough for our 2 1/2 year old son. We took it overseas and on a holiday to Queensland, and it was just amazing to travel with. It… Read more

is sized to be a carry on, and easily fits in the overheads, contained nicely in its carrying bag.

Pram is great customer service is not – This is a great travel pram. Just back from a month overseas with 10month old and this pram was fantastic. Great for airport, day naps on the run, and fantastic that it folds to backpack. We now use for day care drop off/pick ups cause it folds to nothing and we can store at the centre. Down side. The customer service is really poor. The bag… Read more

Best travel companion for families! – This traveller stroller is fantastic! For a light weight stroller that folds up to a backpack you really can't ask for more. It's stylish and easy to maneuver, had no issue pushing our 15kg toddler around the bumpy sidewalks in Bali. Also lays back and was the perfect place for our 5 month old to nap. Quick and easy to fold up and chuck in a taxi very light too.

Love this stroller – This stroller is excellent for travel. We took it to the USA and it was so easy to fold and unfold to get on and off the bus all the time. It was so light to push around the Disney theme parks and it was very hot in Florida and my Daughter never got sweaty in it. The bonus bag is great for when you are on the plane as it protected the stroller… Read more

perfectly.

We now use it as our main stroller when walking our dogs and going to the shops.

I had an issue with the buckle breaking (my fault) and called the customer care number, for only $12 I was sent a replacement in under a week. Great after care service.

Perfect, cant live without it! – Compact and light enough to take anywhere. The carry pack is really useful when navigating train stations, airports etc. Easy to fold and unfold, maneuvers really well and can lock the front wheels for more rugged terrain. We took this stroller all through Europe on some of the most horrible terrain you can think of, I was sure it would fall… Read more

apart, but it handled everything we threw at it, the build quality is exceptional. We treated it so badly, we overloaded it constantly and took it across really bad surfaces. Cant recommend this enough for both an everyday compact stroller and international travel.

Perfect from trips anywhere – Although it's really compact and great fold and easy I wish there was a way that the could make the seating a little bigger like they did for the city mini for that most kids look like there about to fall out of the tour seat being so small also there is no way to attach a skate board and no drink tray made for it I also wish that it had options… Read more

for gt wheels or other wheels to fit into the pram if u wanted to use it more and a foot rest and a reasonably sized zip pocket for the front to get to basket better. Other than these things if it had these things I'd purchase this pram for the fact that I could have my Yaris and I can still take the pram on holidays as over head luggage on the plane. If they could do this I'd spend more then the price they currently ask for if they added all my tweaks to this product I'd buy 2 one for each car!

Excellent value for money and very durable – This has served both our kids really well. My 4 year old is quite big (26kg) and he still fits in it. The rubber around the handles is starting to fall apart but after 4 years of heavy use that would be expected. Also the cushion around the straps can fall off quite easy. On a trip to Europe the strap fell off while in transit and this had to… Read more

be replaced at a cost of $30.

Overall we would thoroughly recommend this stroller for babies up to toddlers.

Great Travel Stroller! – I purchased the Tour to replace my Maclaren stroller, because once baby #2 arrived I realised I couldn't push it using the two handlebars whilst holding my toddler's hand to cross the road etc. The single handlebar on the Tour means it is so easy to push one-handed, and it steers as well as my larger everyday pram. We have used it on a holiday… Read more

and loved being able to take it right to the gate, and then on board as carry on luggage (we flew Virgin and Qantas). We were able to quickly fold it down a pop it in the carry bag whilst waiting in line (unlike some carry bags, you don't have to struggle to squeeze it in). You don't have to take off any wheels or anything to put in the bag either. Because it's so compact, it's great for fitting in a hire car or taxi with all your other luggage (you can even have it at your feet if you need to).

We now use it as a 2nd pram in hubby's car and it gets a lot of use. Love using it at the shops because it's so narrow as easily fits down aisles and around displays or crowds of people. It's sturdy enough to hang a nappy bag from (although not recommended by baby jogger), and whilst the basket underneath is small, it's accessible and can hold a few small things.

I recently took it to a wiggles concert, as we were told beforehand that there would be no pram cloaking and we would need to leave prams in the foyer at our own risk. I was able to fold down the Tour, and have it in front of one of my kids seats, still having room for their legs! It was this feature that made my sister go out and buy one! :)

The only downsides would be that the seat is quite shallow, and it can look like your child is going to slide down if they aren't strapped in. This hasn't caused us any issues, and I have found that the seat has flattened out a bit over time and doesn't seem to have the slant forward that it had when I first bought it. The hood could be bigger, but compared to most other strollers it's quite large and has an extra sun visor that flips down for more coverage.

It doesn't lay fully flat, but since its only for 6 months up, it shouldn't be an issue anyway. My daughter has had many sleeps in the pram and always looks comfortable when reclined. Many people also don't realise that the footwell pops up if you push it up from underneath, giving an elevated footrest for your child.

The fabrics are fully washable, but it is definitely a challenge removing it all from the frame, and the back board is a tight squeeze to get in and out. You also need to put it all back on in the right order, which can cause a bit of frustration. Like all baby jogger prams, the fabrics come up like new when washed in a washing machine. My advice would be to get a custom liner made so that you don't have to wash it too often!

The wheels are definitely only suited to flat surfaces, and I struggled getting it over a cobblestone-like surface in the city one day (although I didn't try locking the front wheels straight which may have helped).

My daughter is 20 months old now and the top of her head is pretty much in line with the top of the backrest. Despite this, she still has heaps of head clearance under the hood, and my tall 4 year old fits under it too!

Overall, it's a great stroller, and I definitely recommend it, especially if you fly regularly or have a small boot space. I probably wouldn't want to use it as my everyday pram, especially if you do a lot of walking.

the City Tour, which was the other stroller I was looking at when I got the nano. I can't wait to start travelling with it! It is so easy to collapse - unbelievably so and it is self locking. Its a one hand job and you can easily do this with bub on your other hip. The travel bag is easy to use and also holds the rain cover and belly bar (sold separately) which I purchased. Very happy so far with this purchase. It is a little bit more than the nano, but feels much studier and is much easier to use.

folds out and away so easily that you could do it whilst holding bub!

Very convenient. Only one small downfall is that sometimes if bub is sleeping the legs dangle but I guess it has been made so it can fold conveniently.

from the sun!

Didn't have to wait at the airport for the stroller to be brought to us, it folded into an overhead luggage case like a backpack and so we didn't waste time with the baby. The basket is great, although it doesn't have another pocket on the canopy like Quest it has a mesh pocket at the back of the seat that compensates. Also the draw string pull down for recline is very easy and smooth! (Unlike maclaren that has two separate sides that sometimes end up with a wonky seat). The seat is padded and long, good for big kids and fairly wide, but the stroller overall is narrower(!) And is fantastic to push between cafe/restaurant seats. I bought the additional belly bar and it really made the baby happy!

The five point harness click easily into place and opens up without too much struggle unlike a lot of strollers out there (my experience is with quest and emmaljunga).

Definitely recommend for travel as it handles the rough road/footpath surfaces well for its small (with suspension !) wheels and its awesome in airports and shopping centres. Bought in black due to travel requirements.
