It is made of firm rubber and has a nice, sturdy feel. The handle is 38.5″ inches high which could be uncomfortable for taller parents. Peekaboo window held in place by two velcro pads So in order to avoid waking baby it’s better to just leave it open. We like the peekaboo window, though as mentioned above, it is held closed by velcro that is noisy when open it. If you don’t want to bother with the bag, it can be carried by the stroller handle. Once in the bag, it is comfortable to carry with the padded strap. I have to work both to get it to fit in the carry bag and then to zip it up. The City Tour comes with a nice travel bag. Also missing are cup holders or a snack tray. ![]() The basket is the only available storage, there is no compartment for a mobile phone or other small items. Surprisingly the basket is rated to hold 15 lbs compared to most lightweight strollers that hold 10 lbs or less. We have to bend down to access the basket, and especially if we are pushing smaller things like wipes or diapers to the front to make room for a purse or small bag in the back. We can cram a fairly full backpack under the seat but it requires stretching the elastic to the max. Many people buy it for its easy transportation and use as an everyday stroller. It is a small 2.2 cubic feet when folded which makes it one of the more compact-fold travel strollers. Weight and Folded SizeĪt 14 lbs the City Tour 2 is in the middle of the group for weight. We purchased them and executed more than 100 tests for a realistic, head-to-head comparison of the most important factors: weight, folded size, usability for parents, comfort and usability for kids, folding, maneuverability, and quality. We identified the top 20 lightweight wagons on the market that had strong customer reviews and met our size and weight criteria. It steers well even when loaded with 40 lbs. It is 14 lbs which is average in the umbrella stroller category. ![]() The seat is angled at 64 degrees when upright which is comfortable and provides good visibility. The sun shade stops short or where knees bend, so the legs are not protected. The empty stroller easily tips backward when weight is hung on the handle. The AAP recommends never to hang anything on the handle of a stroller. ![]() When it does engage, if I pull the stroller toward me, the brake disengages. Sometimes the brake doesn’t engage fully. Unless I push down hard after it is folded, the latch doesn’t catch to keep it folded.Īgreed. You have to keep it open rather than open it when your little one is sleeping.Īgreed. We haven’t experienced problems with the front wheels. It is not sized for bigger or taller children. The seat height is 16.5″ which is lower than most others. We haven’t had problems with shaking front wheels. The seat padding is not thickest or thinnest of those we tested. In our noise test, it is one of the quietest lightweight strollers. ![]() In our ride smoothness test, it was in the middle of the pack. It generally folds/unfolds easily but there are times it catches when folding or unfolding and requires a second hand to get it to work. It averages 4 seconds to fold and 5 to unfold. Some complaints are legitimate and others we disagree with. We reviewed all of the critical customer reviews about the City Tour and compared them to our own experience in the table below.
