Baby Jogger City Elite Single Stroller

Nice stroller with a couple minor issues

Overall I really like the Baby Jogger City Elite stroller. We have two children, aged 6 months and 2 1/2 years, and both of them seem to be comfortable riding in it. The seat reclines completely and still has a little bit of head support for infants, which is not always the case with these types of strollers. My prior one was not as easy to operate as it didn't steer as good as this one and was tough to fold. This City Elite is so easy to fold I can't even believe it, seriously. While there are many things I like about it, many other reviews cover those so I won't mention too much here. Suffice it to say that our family is happy we bought it.

One thing about the seat is it doesn't sit totally upright. Now, our oldest seems quite comfortable so I'm guessing this is by design but it seems odd to me. The only issue with this is the child tray becomes difficult to line up with how he is sitting. Not a huge deal but I feel they could either fix the alignment or make the seat go completely upright for snack time. Also, this stroller seems to be a bit too wide in the back. There is more room to narrow it and still have it wide enough for the essentials. I just had to get used to moving it around and for a single, it could be narrower.

Really those are minor gripes but enough for me to only give it a 4 star rating. It rides great, everyone seems safe, it's ultra lightweight, and like I mentioned above it's very easy to fold up. I recommend the Baby Jogger City Elite and would buy it again, especially if those minor things were addressed.
