Baby Jogger 2014 City Lite Stroller, Red

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?) To begin, I am a HUGE Baby Jogger fan. I am currently an owner of the 2012 City Mini as well as the 2013 City Select. These are my two main strollers that I use every day. So, when the opportunity came to test out the new Baby Jogger City Lite, I was very excited at the chance to see what new things Baby Jogger was bringing to the US Market.



I believe the City Lite has been available in the UK for a few months now. I also believe that this model will be replacing the US version of the City Micro. Because this stroller is more in line with the City Mini and is closer in price range, I’m mostly comparing the City Lite to the City Mini, instead of the Select (which, I don’t believe the City Lite has any comparison to)…



The Good:

- It’s lightweight! It’s about ½ pound lighter than the City Mini

- Roomy! My son, at 8 months old and already 25 pounds, will be a big boy! I need a stroller that will hold a LOT of baby! The City Lite has a 55 pound weight limit.

- Recline – It reclines nearly flat – just like the City Mini

- Ease of Use – this stroller is just as maneuverable as the City Mini

- Canopy – If anyone has owned or researched any of the Baby Jogger brand strollers, you will know that their sun canopies just can’t be beat. It’s large and shields your baby from the sun at all times – although, it doesn’t appear like it’s lined like the City Mini’s canopy is.

- Fast fold – This is another incredible feature of the City Mini that Baby Jogger brought to the City Lite. However, there is one extra step. There is a small red button in the back of the stroller. You must first press that button and then pull up on the folding strap. Still a one-handed fold, just a button to press first. This is not an issue at all, nor is it cumbersome.



The Bad:

- The Fabric – I feel like the fabric is a little bit cheaper than the City Mini. It doesn’t feel as thick or “wipe-able” as the City Mini and Select fabrics.

- Car seat attachment – Now, I don’t know this for a fact, but it really doesn’t appear like there is an available car seat adapter for this stroller. I don’t see where any adapters would be inserted in order for a car seat to be attached and use this stroller as a travel system. I could be wrong, but I don’t see it and there isn’t enough information on this stroller at the time of this review for me to research this answer.

- Overall “feel” – The City Lite feels a little flimsy. Don’t get me wrong, I think this is a good stroller, it’s just not as “solid” feeling as the City Mini



Overall, I would say that the City Lite is an excellent stroller for those looking for a lightweight, easily maneuverable, and easy-folding stroller. If price is not an object, I would say that the City Mini is the better route to go – with the ability to convert to a travel system and the available accessories. The City Lite is small and can fit in the trunk of any compact car. It’s lightweight and just overall a great stroller option for those looking for an affordable entry in to the Baby Jogger brand.
