Our Verdict: Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 + City GO 2

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 + City GO 2 scored 70 out of 100 across the four criteria we score every travel system on, and took Best One-Hand Fold for Rough Sidewalks in our travel system guide.

What earns it that award: One-hand fold with an auto-lock, owners report.

The honest limit, and the reason it is not higher: City GO 2 carrier is on the heavy side, about 10.5 lb before the baby goes in.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Comfort

Seven and a half, set from owner reports and specs. Owners praise the suspension and a seat that reclines nearly flat, with calf support that adjusts, all good for naps on the move. The complaint is that there is no true upright position for an older child who wants to sit up and watch. The 65 lb child limit, the highest here, means a long run in the seat.

Ease of use

Six and a half, and the carrier is what holds it back. The City GO 2 weighs about 10.5 lb on BabyGearLab's scale, and Baby Jogger gives 18.1 lb with the RAPIDLOCK base, so it is one of the heavier seats here to lift from car to frame. Owners like the click-in base, which comes in the box, and the one-hand fold on the stroller side. Against that, owners report the carrier as bulky to carry any distance, which is the trade for its 35 lb limit.

Push & handling

Eight, the best push score among the research-scored systems and level with the Bravo Trio and Oxford. Owners report never-flat tires and suspension that cope with rough ground, and they describe the maneuverability as strong. Baby Jogger lists the frame at 22.4 lb, the lightest separate stroller in this guide, and less weight is easier to lift over a curb. Owner reports alone are not enough to push it higher.

Fold & storage

Seven and a half. Owners like the one-hand fold with its automatic lock, and say it packs down compactly; the stroller weighs 22.4 lb, the lightest separate frame here. Against that, owners report little onboard storage, and Baby Jogger does not publish folded dimensions. Ratings are the lowest in this guide, 3.9 of 5 from 97 reviews on Baby Jogger's site, so we weighted the fold praise with that in mind.

Should You Buy the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 + City GO 2?

Buy it for this: One-hand fold with an auto-lock, owners report. Never-flat tires and suspension for rough ground.

Go in knowing this: City GO 2 carrier is on the heavy side, about 10.5 lb before the baby goes in. Lowest owner ratings in this guide.

The same four criteria applied to every travel system in this guide. That makes the comparison fair, and it makes the choice yours: pick for the use you cannot avoid, not the one you aspire to.
