It's light enough and the frame is solid, but definitely not worth the price. The pros are that it's fairly light, and well designed for fitting on planes. Plus it has a usable under carriage. One the downside, the wheels are average at best. It makes steering difficult at the best of times. That's an understandable trade-off for a light weight… Read more

stroller.

My main issue was that it's not easy to clean. To clean it properly you have to spend some effort to take it apart. Which is fine. But it doesn't go back together easy if at all. The main body is fabric and the connectors are thin plastic rods surrounded by fabric that slide into metal. I noticed this the moment I took it apart and I had some concerns at the time. But I still cleaned it all then carefully tried to put it back together. The fabric immediately tore and the plastic rods snapped in half.

If you get it on special then it's decent enough. Just keep in mind that if you want to properly clean it, you can't. You may as well throw it out and buy a new one. And for this price, it's not a disposable stroller.

Wouldn’t recommend – Opened my new City Tour 2 and within 2 hours of light use inside my home to test it out I decided to send it back for the following reasons: - Poor quality materials (for example the harness strap which is made from a different material to my City Select Lux) - Closing latch broke after opening/closing the stroller 3 times - The seat itself is… Read more

very shallow. My daughter is petite however she did not sit comfortably in this stroller. - Stroller is on a weird angle and is a bit strange to push. - Seat is angled back as well. - The front wheels were rattling on my tiles and the stroller felt very flimsy to push - unsure about durability long-term and also not sure how it would go out and about &/or using while travelling.

Overall I don’t recommend this product - I swapped the Tour 2 I purchased for an Edwards and Co Otto which is not only cheaper but also much better quality!

The BEST lightweight travel stroller for a busy family! Purchased for travel, however we use it almost every day for quick trips to the shops or kindergarten drop offs. Pros: - Extremely easy one hand fold. Stroller folds down compactly and is light weight enough to be lifted and stored away with one hand (even while holding a baby in the other… Read more

arm). - Convenient carry handle on seat. - The storage basket design is able to fit a large backpack. - Seat can be fully reclined, ideal for sleeping and even for changing baby on the go. - Can be used for any age due to the easy recline position. - Toddler board is compatible. - Fantastic suspension and manoeuvres easily. - Makes airline travel a breeze as it fits in overhead cabin storage.

Cons: - Canopy is very high and small and does not provide much shelter/shade.

The seat isnt the best for toddlers who try their hardest to jump out – Bought this for my 16 month old son yesterday from Baby bunting as i needed something to help me navigate the shops a bit easier than our steel craft savvi pram. Chose it for the single handed fold. But to my dismay, my son kept slipping off the seat as he would not conform to the backrest, the highest seated position is too “reclined” for him… Read more

still. So even with the harness on, he would still be seated upright without a backrest and would keep sliding down.

I rang baby bunting not even 24 hrs after and they said they cant do anything as it is a change of mind. I told them i am still going to get another pram from them just not this one. And they said cant do anything as ive asked them to assemble it for me and they no longer have the box.

So yes it may work for babies, but without the handle bar (which it doesn’t come with), and a toddler wanting to jump out of anything because he wasnt really supported by the backrest, i ended up carrying him and pushing the pram with the groceries.

Bought for travel, now use everyday! – We couldn’t be happier with our City Tour 2! We originally purchased it as a travel stroller but now use it every day. Our little man prefers it to his bigger pram and it’s so much easier to fold up and get in and out of the car. When looking to purchase a travel stroller, we compared the few options out there that comply with airline carry-on… Read more

requirements. The City Tour 2 seemed better quality than the cheaper option we were shown (more durable handlebar, better materials in general, more stylish design) and had added functionality compared to the more expensive option we were shown (ability to fully recline bub was invaluable for naps on the go and the storage space underneath was superior). We traveled with multiple airlines and none had a problem with us taking the City Tour 2 on board (thanks to the travel bag it comes with). I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a stylish and functional travel stroller but also to anyone looking for an easy to use everyday stroller.

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!

Very handy travel stroller – Purchased this for our overseas trip so we could use it up to the gate. Love that it fully reclines and has the footrest so our 19mo also slept in it well for his lunchtime sleeps. I always need two hands to put up the stroller. Annoyingly it doesn’t have a shoulder strap - yes it comes with a carry bag but it is not practical to put the stroller… Read more

in a bag for a short distance, yet trying to juggle a toddler and the stroller is difficult if not almost impossible. Definitely worth getting the belly bar so child can sit up and lean on it

Great travel pram, fits perfectly into overhead locker – The pram is great! It's a travel pram so need to be careful on disconnected terrain, but baby loves it and can sleep in it very easily as it goes almost flat. We also brought it with us on the plane and were able to use it right up to when we got into the cabin. Show details

Fantastic Light Weight yet Very Sturdy Pram – Absolutely love this Pram. It is very sturdy and very light weight. Very easy to fold and open. Very good for newborn and toddler too. The seat is very upright so my young toddler can sit properly and at the same time can be reclined so my toddler can have a proper nap while travelling in the pram. It can be used for carrying on item on the plan,… Read more

as it weighs less than 7 kg. Overall, I am very happy with this Pram. I had purchased 2 other lightweight prams previously but nothing compares to this Baby Jogger City Tour 2. The price for this is also reasonable. It is worth the purchase.

Wouldn't recommend it – Bought this stroller for our travels through Europe. However I've found the quality to be very average. It's great at folding and fitting in the overhead compartment but the frame is pretty flimsy and the first two tyres are really bad, they basically slide sideways half the time. I did contact the manufacturer, and twice they provided me with… Read more

the same solution -the grease the tyres. Obviously didn't work if I had to contact them twice. For what I spent on it, I expected it to be better..I wouldn't recommend it.

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.

Budget travel pram for top dollar – Pros: Folds small. Easy enough to manoeuvre on flat ground Cons: Stroller is to light for pull up fold mechanism, I have to hold it down while pulling up. The seat is to angled and short my child keeps slipping out of it having to constantly stop and drag them back up. The seat back isn't tall enough, will not carry a toddler over 2. Foot rest is stationary. Fabric wore through really quick at the foot rest.  Show details

Reasonable stroller – A good pram, but needs some improvements. Easy unfold & folding system - Baby Jogger patent folding system is first class. The fold is compact, but still quite long for a travel pram. Air travel is a nightmare, as you need to remove the back wheels to place it in the travel bag. Overall materials are budget - I suggest buying a decent pram liner… Read more

for extra baby comfort. Extremely easy to manouve & a lovely handle. The storage basket is small. Pram wheels are budget & don't absorb much, which makes it a hard ride for baby. It's a great pram for very occasional use. We have since purchased a Redsbaby Skip 2 & absolutely love it!

Easy to use and carry around – Love my city tour as it is easy to use and one hand fold up (but needs both hands to open). Very light weight-easy for me to take it in and out for small lady like me. Fit in my small car not taking up much room (especially when doing grocery shopping). Although it doesn't go well with bumpy rocky road but it's ok because as its name says it's… Read more

targeted to be used in city mainly. Easy to manoeuver. although the handle is not adjustable but we find it comfortable to push for me and my husband. I like its peekaboo window and the canopy is good enough. I like its adjustable recliner -very easy to use. It's easy to clean with damp clothe wipe down. It also come with the over the shoulder carrier bag -easy to carry for traveling.

Flimsy pram – Why this pram is very light and compact and does even manouvere well. I find it very flimsy, there is not enough bum room for my toddler and I don't think the back is high enough. This pram states that it carries to 22kg (but the lady at Baby bunting actually have me a higher incorrect weight limit) but when my 18 kg daughter is it in, of… Read more

sometimes feels like it can't /wrong hold her weight. This pram is hard to fold the top down, I find myself pressing on the button as hard as I can and wiggling the handle trying to get it to fold down and it won't budge. Takes a good few minutes of trying before I can get it to fold, usually with 2 hands which stops me from being able to do the easy "1 hand fold" that you think your going to be able to do. I also find that it flops around when I open or up, instead of clicking into place when it opens. Cheap, flimsy, can't see it lasting. Only had it for a week and I'm incredibly unhappy with it. Taking it back to the shop to complain today, but I'm sure they won't do anything about it

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

Good pram but not much space – I have the city tour 2. I have not used it too much since buying it as the storage space is minimal. I recently bought a Prambasket to attach to it and it has been a game changer. Now I can use my stroller a lot more as I have plenty of space to put shopping & baby items. Weve taken it on a few domestic plane trips & its fit in the overhead locker… Read more ·  1

easily on JQ or QF flights. You must have it in a bag though if youre going to take it on the plane though. Good value for money when you compare it to a babyzen yo-yo. This is also great as your child can lay flat (unlike the yo-yo).

Love this compact stroller – Love this compact stroller, as it lives in the boot for my car and doesn't take up the whole boot. It is perfect for short trips to the shops or outings. Great value for money. Only drawback worth mentioning is that it is a bit too reclined when Bub wants to sit upright. 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

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 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

Great for international travel – I purchased this pram with the intention of using it for an international flight.

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.
