Pros

Our Verdict: Baby Jogger City Tour 2

The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 scored 71 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every travel stroller on, and took Best All-Rounder On A Budget in our travel stroller guide.

What earns it that award: Eight for child comfort, beaten only by the Minu.

The honest limit, and the reason it is not higher: No standout column. It is good at everything and best at nothing, which is a fair description rather than a criticism.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ease of use

Seven, mid-table, and comfortably ahead of the Quid 3 on five and the YOYO3 on four. The fold is straightforward and needs no learned sequence, though it lacks the one-second snap of the Aer2. A carry bag comes in the box, which matters more than it sounds: the strollers that actually get carried are the ones with something to carry them in.

Maneuverability

Seven, level with the G-Luxe and the Quid 3 and a point ahead of both the Aer2 and the Pockit+, which sit above it overall. That is the quiet upside of not chasing the smallest possible fold: the wheels are big enough to take a curb and a gravel path. If you push more than you carry, this out-rolls strollers that score better on the columns people shop by.

Transport & storing

Seven, a point behind the three strollers on eight. Baby Jogger makes no carry-on claim for it, so check your airline's sizer, but it comes with its own bag. The folded package is compact on paper but nowhere near the Pockit+. For a trunk and an overhead bin it is adequate rather than clever. Nothing about this column will annoy you, and nothing about it will impress anyone either.

Build quality

Seven, level with the Pockit+ and the YOYO3 and two points behind the Minu and the Aer2. Fine rather than premium is the honest reading: it will take a season of daily use and several vacations, but the frame and fabrics show it sooner than the nines do. This is the column you give up at this tier, and you meet the consequence over years rather than weeks.

Kid comfort

Eight, and the surprise of this guide. It matches the Aer2 and beats the Pockit+ on the column that decides whether a child sleeps on a long day out, and only the Minu scores higher. If you are choosing on your child's experience rather than your own convenience at the gate, this is better than its position in the table suggests. Sevens everywhere and an eight here is a good shape.

Should You Buy the Baby Jogger City Tour 2?

Buy it for this: Eight for child comfort, beaten only by the Minu. Sevens across every other column: the most consistent stroller outside the top two.

Go in knowing this: No standout column. It is good at everything and best at nothing, which is a fair description rather than a criticism. Seven for build quality: fine, not premium.

Because every travel stroller here met the same five criteria, a low column is a trade-off rather than a defect. Work out which column you would notice, then buy on that.
