Baby Jogger 2012 City Elite Single Stroller, Red (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

We loved this stroller, though we didn't end up keeping it. Here is why: We actually had trouble finding this stroller in a store, therefore we ordered this, the BOB Revolution CE, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT. After setting up all three, it turned out that this one was the largest - both in length and width. The features were incredible - including the foot lift, the pockets up by the push bar, and air vents on the side of the canopy. However, it was just too wide for what we were wanting. We wanted to be able to wheel through stores and the city with ease. We also wanted to have the folded stroller take up less space. If we had a larger car and a larger storage spot in our home, we would have kept this stroller. By the way, the wheels are SO easy to remove!Just so you know, the BOB Revolution CE was smaller once set up, but it was the most bulky of the three when folded up. Plus, the wheels need more maintenance and are more difficult to remove (not bad, but no where near as easy as the Baby Jogger wheels). Also, the BOB push bar was not adjustable - and since I'm only 5 feet, it was uncomfortably high!The Baby Jogger City Mini GT was the stroller we kept. It was smaller than the Elite and the BOB, but still had reasonable wheels for a good ride. It doesn't have all the features of the Elite, but still has the easy fold, the great large canopy, the easy recline and easy to remove wheels.All three had fairly small storage baskets - but they all had pockets in the back of the seat back. All had very smooth rides, though the BOB was probably the best.Okay, this was disorganized, but I hope it helped!

We do have an 8 months old baby and this stroller is offering pretty big space for playing, sleeping (for this age). Very well done, pretty strong stroller, nice canopy, easy to take out all 3 wheels, easy to fold, nice to use it a big city (Chicago)2 stars for small storage space, not that easy to unfold, takes a lot of space in my trunk, with wheels on... hard for my wife co carry it, I did not found a space in my house to put it, since is not staying unsupported (like to a wall).

Love this stroller overall. Great canopy, my baby loves this stroller and seems very comfortable in it. The recline and brake are simple and easy to use. It is on the heavy side but the fold is easy. But it does need space in your trunck.Smooth rolling in malls and on paved roads. My only complaint is that when you go over any type of bump (even small ones) the wheels will make clicking noises (which I read some others had problems with). I had already tried a friend's City Elite so knew what I was getting but this is definitely not an all-terrain stroller and is not the greatest in the winter if you are dealing with snow. If you are looking for an amazing all-terrain jogging stroller you should go with a chariot (now owned by Thule).

Not quite sure why, but this model is the 2012 model and now they have a newer model out. My daughter was like, "No I read about it and is safety issue and they are palming these off cheaper - which indeed it is much cheaper, but I got her the one she wanted - the latest model with improved safety harness.

I had read thousands of reviews before I bought this stroller for my 3 year old boy. There are several reasons why I like this stroller: 1. It has a weight limit of 75lb. 2. It is very easy to push. 3. it has large multi-position sun canopy. 4, It has a feet rest for the kid!! 5. It is easy to fold and unfold. 6. The plush padded seat reclines to a near flat position. On the other hand, there are two things I would like to improve: 1. I wish the seat can be placed to face to parent. 2. My boy feels uncomfortable with the harness position.Overall, it is a sturdy and comfortable stroller. I'm not a runner, so it meets all my needs.

After researching for days and visiting many baby stores, we finally zeroed in on this model. Its a bit heavy but the plus side is it can carry infants upto 75 pounds. If you are looking for a lighter one the city mini gt is also very good and is lighter by 5 pounds. It is small as well in comparison to city elite. Also, one of the positive side with the baby jogger strollers is it could be bundled up with a britax infant seat with the addition of an adapter, which shall cost you around 20 dollars.The tires on the elite do not require to be inflated and are a decent size to conquer any terrain. The canopy is excellent for perfect coverage and does have 3 peek a boo windows for a comforting glance at the young one. The hand brake is a great add on and when comparing this too the other models like bugaboo and graco, we found this much sturdier and better looking. The basket is a bit smaller compared to other models, there is space for improvement here.Be advised, if you intend to buy this, buy the 2013 or 2014 model as they have been significantly improved like the new fabric and more vibrant colors. Some sellers on amazon do not specify the model and I ended up returning one as it was the 2012 model.

I found this pram to be too bouncy on walks. I am in a mums & bubs walking group and the first time I took it out for a walk I noticed that this pram was bouncing along, while all the other prams were much smoother.I also had problems taking this pram through the checkouts at the local Supermarket. It is too wide. And the length of the pram is too long - I accidentally bumped it into the person ahead of me at the checkout.When I was walking my baby in the pram as the sun was setting the canopy didn't extend long enough, so the sun was in my baby's eyes.In all, I just didn't like the pram. I also found it very heavy to put into the car and it takes up a lot of room. I have sold it.

Den optimalen Kinderwagen zu kaufen ist sicher schwieriger als das richtige Auto zu finden…Auf den Baby Jogger ist unsere Wahl gefallen, da er sich sehr leicht (mit nur einer Hand) und in einem Schritt zusammenpacken lässt. Dies gilt zumindest für den Buggy - wenn man die Wanne benutzt, muss diese vorher abgenommen werden. Da wir viel unterwegs sind und viel fliegen, wollten wir einen robusten Kinderwagen, was sich auch so bestätigt hat. Die Wanne als Kinderwagen befindet sich höher als bei den meisten anderen Herstellern - der Rücken wird's danken…Als Kinderwagen mit Wanne ist der Baby Jogger sicher keine Schönheit, aber für die 6 Monate, die er als Kinderwagen benutzt, war für uns die Nutzung als Buggy entscheidend. Das weit herunterklappbare Verdeck ist super - man braucht so keine extra Schirmchen oder Tücher als Sonnenschutz, wie das bei anderen Herstellern der Fall ist. Der Sitz lässt sich als nahezu ebene Liegefläche stufenlos herunterklappen, so kann das Kind auch mal länger und bequem schlafen - so konnten wir auch abends mal länger unterwegs sein, während das Kind im Buggy in Ruhe schläft.Zum Handling nochmal: Der Wagen ist manövrierter mit 1 Hand, nur bei Bordsteinen sollte man unbedingt 2 Hände nehmen. Dank der großen luftgefüllten Räder eignet sich der BJ gut für die Stadt, spazieren im Wald und Spaziergänge am Strand - selbst durch tiefen Sand kommt man mit festgestelltem Vorderrad noch ausreichend gut. Wir hatten beim ersten Kind den Wagen fast 3 Jahr durchgehend in Gebrauch, einen zusätzlichen Buggy o.ä. brauchten wir nicht.Wir sind rundum zufrieden. Einen neuen Wagen mussten wir jetzt aber kaufen, da beim letzten Flug die Fluggesellschaft den Kinderwagen irreparabel beschädigt hat…. vorher haben wir damit ca. 20-30 Flüge absolviert….
