Worth every penny!!
September 14, 2010
We started out with the Schwinn Turismo in Blue and gray. Our son is 2 and he loves to go on walks but when we put him in the turismo he just seemed over sized for it. The tray was too high and it looked like he was stretching to see over it. His little legs were too long for the foot rest and they hung off the front. He never really seemed to look comfortable. After having it for a month I took it back. I started my research again with new things to keep in mind. Every search I did took me to the Baby Jogger City Elite or a few of the BOB models. After visiting a few videos on U-Tube and the Baby Jogger website, I decided it was the one for us. I received it unassembled but it was super easy to put together. About 5 clicks and it was good to go. We put our average sized 2 year old (just about 34 inches and 30 pounds) in it and he just looked like he was so comfortable!! The seat is much more padded than most, the canopy is huge, there are a lot of parent pockets and it has a soft console that comes with it. It is comfortable to push and easy to steer. The folding method on it is so easy that you really can do it with one hand. There are a few things that could be better. The tray that you can buy separate should come with it but it doesn't. They could have put the I-Pod speaker and pocket in it that most jogger strollers have. It is also quite high for me even with the handle bar down as far as it can go. I am 5 foot so most strollers are big but this one seems a lot taller compared to the Pliko 3 we use every day. All in all this is the best stroller we have found and at the price there is no way to beat it.
Pros:
Seat is big enough for a toddler and still has room to grow.
Large sun canopy
Lots of pockets
Leg room for toddlers
Appearance
Rubber tires
Swivel front wheel
Easy to steer
Easy to fold
Cons:
Height- almost too tall for me
Tray not included
