We asked for this car seat along with the city mini stroller as a travel system on our registry and don't regret anything! We love the car seat and how safe it is. I think the customer below who had a negative review, did not realize we can adjust the head cushion height to grow with our babies! I too thought that my baby was squished and uncomfortable but after doing more research I found out you can extend the seat to grow! Overall this is a great product. It feels super secure and safe for my child. My old con is that when we compare it to the popular chicco car, seat, the chicco wins in terms of being more lightweight and easier to carry with baby in it. Other than that, baby jogger hands down.

My baby is only about 9 lbs and seems too big for this seat. Where the buckle attaches to the harness, the plastic protrudes into her legs and it's really difficult to snap. I even tried adjusting the buckle but it didn't help. The harness straps constantly twist. She hates it and I'm upset I invested in the system before reading more reviews.

Perfect for our Princess and will recommend to any parent.

My son is now 6 months, 18lbs and 26 inches long and does not fit into this seat. He is squished and uncomfortable. The seat is extremely hard toclick into the stroller connectors takes a lot of time and effort. I love the stroller, the car seat was a waste of money since I have to purchase a new car seat anyway and right now it's rough family on my family to do so.

I received this seat as part of the GT2 Travel System as a gift at my baby shower. I was nervous after reading the reviews that I wouldn't be able to use it long since my husband and I are both very tall. My daughter is 6 months old, 97th percentile for height, 87th percentile for weight, and still has plenty of room to grow. There MUST be user error involved for anyone claiming their child has outgrown this before 6 months. As far as features, the no-rethread harness is great, the materials are very soft/high quality, and it easily clicks in and out of the car and stroller. The ability to install without the base is also a great feature, we're taking it on baby's first flight this week and will be able to use it on the plane and in taxis/ubers. My daughter falls asleep in this seat any time we're driving longer than 20 minutes, so she's clearly comfortable. My only complaint is that the straps do get twisted often, and while it's an annoyance it wouldn't prevent my from buying this again. Overall this has been a really great car seat!

There are so many reviews on here saying it's too small to fit their baby, my sister decided not to buy this carseat based on these reviews. I went back and read them because we don't have this problem and there are people actually posting photos of their babies that are over the weight limit for the infant insert still using the infant insert so of course their baby would be squished! If you read the manual it says once your baby is passed 12lbs you MUST take out the insert. The head rest also lifts when they grow in height. My baby is 15lbs 14oz and 27in long and fits perfectly still. Read the manual and stop bashing this car seat when you're not using it right!!

Not sure how these small babies are not fitting in the car seat. If they outgrow the insert, take it out. My son had the insert until he was 6-months or so and because he's a big baby we took out the insert. He used the car seat until he outgrew the weight and size limit which was around 15 months. Others had their babies in there longer because my friend's babies are smaller. The straps do get twisted and I wished there was a function where you can put the straps via magnet on the side so they don't always get lost and twisted. I'm petite and carrying a hefty baby with the car seat is not easy, but the overall weight of the carrier I'm sure helps with the safety of my LO. I'd rather it be built solid than be flimsy like some other car seats I've seen.

Safe, secure and comfortable for your baby. Perfect!!

Love it, even better than expected! Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful car seat. For everyone saying that it's too small, I'm curious if you read the manual. You have to remove the infant insert when they outgrow it. It makes the car seat way roomier. It's a shame that so many people downvote this car seat. My daughter is a big baby and she fit in this car seat until she was 1. It's crazy to me that so many people aren't reading the instructions of the car seat that they're putting their precious cargo in. Mind boggling.

Great car seat and we snagged this for an awesome price!

We have had this carseat for our son from birth. He is now 8mo, but probably more like a 6mo in size (< 5th %tile, weighed 14lbs at 6mo) and we finally caved to buying a normal/convertible carseat. He fusses almost every time we try to get him in this. The seat is so deep, especially without the body insert. The seat angles also seem severe, and it looks like such an unnatural seated position. We can't always get his butt to the bottom either when he fights it, which I worry makes it less safe.

Loved the fabric softness of the indigo blue liner and lightweight feel of this quality car seat. It's so easy to install!

The weight specs are completely wrong! My 5 month old son (15lb) is virtually growing out. Do NOT buy!

Like the car seat overall, but it does not work well for larger babies. My son is only 3 months old and weighs 15 lbs. He is very squished and uncomfortable in the seat now and, unfortunately, already needs a new car seat. We also have the Mini GT2 stroller and sadly he's too little to ride in that without the infant adapter. Any recommendations on what to do in the meantime since he's too big for the car seat, but still too small to ride normally in the stroller? Thank you!

I loved this car seat and stroller in the beginning but now that our girls are 16 pounds they were no longer fitting in this car seat. They seem so squished and so uncomfortable. These are very expensive and having to buy two of everything, we were hoping they would last awhile but already having to buy new car seats that wouldn't even work with the stroller we spent a lot of money on.

I've been using this car seat for my baby from the ages of 0-11 weeks. At first we liked it. It's high quality and has solid head support. But, at 11 weeks our baby who is WELL within the seat's height (< 32 in) and weight (< 35 lbs) limits (he is 24 in and 13 lbs), has nearly outgrown the seat. We have thoroughly researched how to properly harness him with straps at or just below his shoulders and removed the newborn insert at the appropriate time, and the head support and straps are now at nearly the highest setting. The head support is raised above the highest point of the car seat shell, and our baby's head is almost at the 1" from top of seat limit. Baby Jogger, what am I missing? There's no way that my infant has outgrown the seat at 8 inches below the height limit! The published maximum height and weight cannot be correct. I'm extremely disappointed that I spent money on this product only to have to buy a new car seat after 11 weeks. The seat is also heavy and we found it somewhat difficult to install.

This car seat worked well for the first few months. I like that you have the option to use a base or to not use it. Also, it easily clips into the compact stroller. However, my baby quickly outgrew it and car rides have been miserable. She gets very hot and is squished in the seat so she is uncomfortable. I need to purchase a new car seat already.

I really loved this car seat as I thought it would last me a long time, and even bought 2 bases and the stroller. But after 3 months my daughter is miserable in this seat - she has run out of room and is uncomfortable, as it's way to small (& she gets super hot). There is no way the size and weight is correct, as she is 14lbs and 25inches and already has outgrown this seat that should have lasted us many more months. Car rides are awful because of this seat, but I spent so much money on it, that I don't want to give up using it.

Love Baby Jogger, have been using since the City Go 1 car seat. Can't wait to use the City go 2 for my newborn arriving in March.

I received this 5 months ago for my newborn, and was satisfied for the first 2-3 months but now it is showing the flaws and how terribly constructed it is. I would not recommend this seat, quality is terrible.

received this as a baby shower gift and was very excited based on baby jogger reputation. but have aince been very disappointed - first off, the amt of instruction and guidnave on how to safely get baby in seat is astonishing. The lack of company issued/sponsored videos or help forums to understand the instructions is amazing to me. as a first time mom, safely getting my baby jn this seat is top priority and i feel like BJ did not allow parents to be set up for success at all.

We are happy with our purchase.
1. I read negative reviews about height at shoulders, but our baby is 95 percentile height and we had no issues, just gave to increase the height in the back.
2. Although can be used easily without a base, it is safest to use with a base. If seatbelt is not snug when used without a base, seat tipped over. If seatbelt is snug when used without a base, we had no issues.
3. Easy to use with the base in car and with baby jogger stroller.
4. Light weight

Nice padding, baby fits comfortably, and it feels lightweight when lifting it from the car to put on the stroller base. Works well with the city mini stroller.

I wanted to like this car seat (got it in blue!) but I just can't deal with it's many design issues.
1. It's extremely heavy even before putting my baby in. My little girl is almost 15 lbs now and I feel like I'm lugging a whale, lol. It might be better if the design was less cumbersome-but there is simply no comfortable way to carry this.
2. The inserts are very ridged and have squished my baby from the beginning. Now that she's 4 months we have taken out the infant insert so it's a bit better, but now she's almost too long.
3. The straps are constantly twisting and I have to untwist them almost every time I use this. To tighten or loosen them, you need 3 hands-which you can imagine is impossible when I'm not with my mom or husband.
I would say that the quality of materials is very good and I really love my baby jogger stroller. I'm just disappointed in the car seat!

I bought the entire City Jogger Deluxe Double Travel System thinking the car seats would last until around a year, based on the 32 inch limit.

Our twins are now 7 months old & 15lbs (they were 2 months premature), & are already smashed & uncomfortable in the car seats. There is no room in the leg area &, even though we've adjusted it every way possible, they're constantly squirming trying to get comfortable.

The weird thing is that the jogging seats that came with the travel system are significantly larger.

Having to buy two of everything is costly as it is & a travel system for twins is an investment. I was really hoping to love this product but it just seems like a waste of money (with covid our usage is already light). Looks like I'm already back to the drawing board for the entire she-bang.

I have a naturally small frame and I'm only 4'11", so the thought of carrying around a huge car seat + a baby was daunting for me. I literally walked around baby stores with a weighted baby doll until I found one I could carry. I was also not going to give up safety and protection for a car seat being lightweight. Another feature I love is how easy it is to adjust the straps by pinching the buttons on the back. Babies are constantly growing, so to not have to rethread the seatbelt (and fear you did it wrong) is so nice. The stroller is so compact and fits nicely in the trunk of my compact car. It is so easy to fold (literally can do it one handed with a baby on the hip).

I've been really impressed with my city go car seat and stroller system. The car seat is made of high quality material. I wish I would have bought this car seat for my first two kiddos and not waited until my last baby! We've been using this car seat for 6 months now and I get lots of compliments on it!

I received this product a few months ago and love the design! Great car seat for on the go!

I bought this car seat for our new baby who is now 3 months old. The warning label is rubbing off the hair on the back of her head and it is almost too small for her. I have washed it once and it looks old I feel like for as much money we spent on it would have lasted way longer.

Looks waaaay better in person, materials look super good quality and sturdy. I'm excited to be able to use it soon.

Is to install and my kids seem to be comfortable in this.

I bought this capsule, along with the baby jogger stroller - love the stroller but the car seat was unfortunately a disappointment.
My baby struggled to be comfortable past 24 inches, and has now outgrown at 26inches. Sit specifications mention 32 inches, but I can't see how unless my child hangs half out the seat. Head rest is at maximum height.

This seat is also extremely hot when in the car, doesn't work well for Aussie summers.

I purchased thinking this would last us until at least 10 months, and have now had to purchase another seat.

I love your brand, and it's many products, however this one is a regretful purchase.

I got the travel system. When my baby was born the car seat was fine. She is now 4 months old and it is way too small for her. She hates it. Every time I try to put her in the car seat, she starts crying. I tried with a car seat from Chico and my daughter is fine with that. Also, the straps doesn't stay locked when you set up the base. I took it to the fire station to see if I do something wrong but nothing changed. Would definitely return it if I could!

My son is now 5 months, 16lbs and 25 inches long and does not fit into this seat at all. He looks terribly squished and uncomfortable. I was gifted a beautiful bunting that I can't even use because there is no room to spare for my LO. The straps are impossible to adjust one handed and they always seem to get twisted. The seat is heavy and takes some finessing to click into the stroller connectors. Also every few weeks we have to readjust the base because it comes loose. I can't imagine anyone using this for up to a year. Although I love the stroller, the car seat was a waste of money since I will have to purchase a new car seat anyway.

This product worked well for the first few months, but now that my son is 3 months and taller, he's squished in, even with the headrest adjusted to its tallest setting. When we put him in now, he screams and looks super uncomfortable. His head also fits super snug in the headrest at just 3 months. This is a huge bummer, as it's not worth the price for 3 months of use. We will have to buy a different car seat.

We are loving this car seat. It is easy to install and use without the base, using the seat belt, or with the base, using our car's latch system. The increased safety features of the seat, like the anti-rebound bar, are much appreciated We also (really!) love the extra quiet canopy. Too many a car nap has been disturbed thanks to a loud canopy in the past! The seat is soft and well-cushioned and every part that touches baby, including the straps and the buckle, are padded to protect baby. The only downside for us is the total length. In our car, it has proven to be a bit of a space hog, requiring us to move the seat in front of it up several inches. However, all the other features of this car seat make it worth the lost leg space for that seat. We like the car seat so much, we are thinking about buying one of the Baby Jogger strollers, with which to use it.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the chance to try out this car seat!

I am a first-time mom and I have used this car seat for my newborn for the last 2 weeks it. The City GO 2 infant Car Seat is a great option for traveling since you can use it without the base. I did not use this feature as I have only used it in my own car; I used the belt option instead of the latch per my car manual's specifications. It's easy enough to attach and remove the car seat from the included base. The anti rebound bar gives me peace of mind. I really love the fabric but would prefer a more feminine color option. One downside is that the stroller and adapters are sold separately instead of all together as a travel system. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this seat to test and review!

I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I always have my husband install car seats because I get so frustrated and never feel like I do it properly or tight enough, but I took this on myself and it was very easy! I actually felt like I could get it tight enough which I have never been able to do before. I didn't try installing it without the base, but that's a nice feature if we ever need to use it in a taxi or ride share. Some of the part names used in the instructions were hard to decipher but the numbered pictures helped explain what they were referring to. I really liked how easy the buckle was to fasten. I've had other car seats that are really nice, but there's so much fabric around the buckle that it's impossible to fasten without the fabric getting stuck. That's never fun with a wiggly, fussy baby! The UPF 50 shade is also a nice feature!

This seat was so easy to install even in my older vehicle, I dont have a latch system in my car so installing a car seat securely can be hard. With the quick locking system I knew that my child was secure. The adjustability of base meant that I was able to get the seat completely leveled which can be hard when the seats in your car dip down in back it's always a struggle to make car seats level without having to add rolled blankets underneath. My favorite thing about this car seat was that I could adjust height without rethreading, the slide lever in the back made adjustments super simple. Thank again stellar panel for sending me this product to review.

This is by far the easiest car seat to install. The infant insert was perfect for my preemie, soft yet snug enough to keep her little body safe. The handle is the perfect length to have in any of the positions in our van.

I want to start by Thanking the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat, you guys rock! My first thought when I took the carseat out of the box was wow, its boy ish! I have twin girls but I still wanted to give this carseat a fair chance, boy am I glad I did! (No pun intended!). One feature of the carseat that I appreciated that it starts at 4 pounds! (Our babies were 4 pounds when we left the hospital so I know how important this feature is). As I used the carseat more I appreciated how easy it was to loosen/ tighten the straps. I could easily adjust the straps between the two girls or more importantly when they had a jacket on or if they didn't. I LOVED that the strap was not very long. With our other carseats the strap would end up dangling on the floor and since the girls are teething...Yup, you guessed it, right in there mouth it would go, eww! I was happy to see this was not a problem with this carseat. Additionally, it felt light to carry and I loved how tall the handle was. I never felt like I was going to hit my babies head on it as I took them out. I found it very easy to raise the headrest (a button in the back) and how snug my babies looked in it. I enjoyed the rapid lock design. The idea is so smart and definitely easier when you need to install two car seats. The Anti-rebound bar helped keep my little ones even more safe that is definitely a plus! It was SUPEReasy to use in my car with the rapid lock and go. It took me seconds to install. I also tried the taxi-safe belt and though I found it easy and simple to use, I still found it a little awkward and harder to use than the car seats we have now. I felt that this is an amazing carseat for someone who has two cars but only wants to have one base since is so easy to install. It's also good for someone without a car since the taxi-safe belt is easy to use. Overall though, I do not love the style of the carseat. It has a hefty price tag and for that kind I money I want to make sure I think it's pretty! However, if safety and easy installation are you number one priority then this carseat may just be what you are looking for.

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat. This car seat was very easy to install and it felt very secure once installed. It felt like a very safe choice for our son. The padding helped him have a more comfortable experience in the seat and the straps were easy to adjust for his size. I'd recommend this car seat to any searching for an option for their baby.

This car seat is a great choice for anyone looking for a nice, safe, sturdy infant seat. The car seat itself is designed well. There is a thick infant padding that provides so much cushion for the baby without being too much. The canopy is nice and big, and does a great job keeping baby warm and dry if you're caught out in the rain.

The car base installs easily, and it's not a hassle trying to remove the seat. The seat is also very simple to install without the base. The only negative we found with the seat, is that the carrying bar gets caught up on the canopy when you shift the seat to carrying position. It's a bit frustrating to deal with, especially if you're on the go. Overall, besides that, this seat is great.

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.

Thanks to the amazing Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was given the City GO 2 Infant carseat to test. From the start, the carseat was user friendly and very easy to install.
My favorite feature is the easy harness adjustment. Other carseats require to uninstall and rethread the harness but the City GO 2 has an quick tab to suppress and move. My other favorite feature was the location of the carseat release lever from the base. It was easy to access at the head of the carseat compared to the foot. This is especially helpful when getting out of the car while managing the carseat and a 2 year old.
The anti-rebound bar added stability to the base, which gave me a peace of mind. I have worried about past carseat safety levels when the base can shift up and down even when tighten to the seat.
One negative aspect of the carseat was it is longer in the car once installed with the base. Since it is longer, my husband complained about having less leg room in the front seat. Another drawback for me is the carseat was harder to carry being a petite woman at 5'1". I struggled to comfortably carry the carseat in and out of stores due to the longer handle forcing me to carry it on my arm. Overall the City GO 2 carseat has great safety features and very user friendly.

We are using the City Go 2 Infant car seat as a second carseat in my husbands car. I would probably switch it to the main car seat in my car if we had a Baby Jogger stroller, as the City Go 2 is much lighter, more comfortable than my current car seat and the straps and headrest are MUCH easier to adjust. The base installation was super easy (we used the LATCH straps) and I was able to get a very secure fit by myself whereas I feel like normally it is a two person job.
I love the generous sunshade/canopy, but the only downfall is that the big canopy gets in the way of moving the handle to the carrying position and back down, while although annoying isn't a deal breaker. I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and will definitely be using it until my baby grows out of it.

The City GO 2 Infant Car Seat is a well tested, well designed infant car seat that checks all of my boxes. It has an anti-rebound bar as an extra safety feature for a frontal collision, which is something I have not seen in many other car seats. The car seat took less than 10 minutes to install from the time I opened the instructions to the time it was ready to use. I used the base in my car since it is the car my little boy primarily travels in, but it is nice to know that there is a simple way to install the car seat in another vehicle without a base if needed. The level on the base reassured me that that base was installed correctly, based on my baby's weight. The car seat is very light and easy to carry. Both the body support insert and the car seat itself feel very comfortable and well padded. I also really like the comfort of the shoulder strap pads as well as the buckle strap cover. One of my favorite features is the canopy, which is very large, provides sun protection (UV 50+), and is designed to block outside noises. The only negative I have found is that it can be difficult to move the handle to each of the different positions, especially when the canopy is down. The buttons to move the handle seem smaller than ones on other car seats and the handle seems to get hung up on the canopy as it moves. Overall, the City GO 2 is a comfortable, well designed infant car seat with all of the features you could want plus more. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat!

First time mom here and I know how overwhelming it can be to decide on the best car seat for your little one. You want a car seat that is safe beyond anything, but also easy to use, because if you can't install the seat properly or strap your little one in properly, then it kind of renders the product as useless.

So now let's talk about the City GO 2 infant car seat. I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I took it out of the box I absolutely loved the design of the seat itself. It is very sleek and I loved all the padding inside on the head support as well as the body support insert. The seat comes with buckle strap covers which is a nice extra touch to make baby comfy in the seat. I really like knowing that this seat is safe and even on there it states "side impacted tested".

The canopy is large and has UV50 protection, as well as moves quietly so that when you are adjusting it, you won't wake a sleeping baby. My one issue with the canopy is that because it is so large it tends to get stuck on the handle bar. When I was using the canopy I had to push it down a little bit to get it to go under the handle bar. Same thing when I was moving the handle bar, it would get stuck on the canopy, especially when canopy wasn't in use and I wanted the handle bar in the stationary position. But honestly that isn't a deal breaker for me.

Adjusting the seat so that my little one was placed in there properly and securely was a breeze! First I took out the body support because it is only to be used for babies 12lbs and under and my little one is past that weight. Next I needed to adjust the harness height, which you do by adjusting the head support height. No need to re-thread harness, adjusting is simple and easy with the adjustment buttons on the back of the car seat, just squeeze the buttons and move it up or down to the correct harness height. You cannot adjust with baby in the seat so I had to put him in and take him out a couple of times before I got the correct height for him. After that I placed my baby into the seat I buckled him in and easily tightened the straps by pulling on the adjuster strap. So easy and no frustrating hassle of re-threading anything!

Now the base for the car seat has awesome safety features! It has anti-rebound bar which provides an extra layer of safety if you are in an accident. When I went to go install the base it was so quick and easy! The latch connectors easily hooked on to the latch anchors in my car, I got them hooked on the first try! Also the level indicator is so easy to read, there was no second guessing myself. When I first put the base in, the bubble showed me that the base needed to be adjusted and I easily raised the foot base (there are 4 recline positions) and got the bubble in the in the correct position. That was the only adjustment I needed to do and once everything was correctly locked in I was ready to put my baby in the car! The seat went easily in and you could hear the click that meant the seat was securely attached. It was also quick and easy to get the seat out of the car as soon as you find the release handle located at the rear of the car seat.

The other awesome feature of this seat is the taxi safe seat belt; for those days you don't have your car and you need to take a taxi or ride share you don't need to take the base with you! I tested out installing the seat without the base in my car just to get a feel for how difficult it would be. I'm happy to report it was pretty easy once you knew how to do it. I did it twice because the first time around the seat belt did get a little twisted, but once I saw my mistake I was able to redo it and securely get the seat in.

This infant car seat is amazing! Easy to install, easy to adjust, and my baby gets to ride in style, while I have peace of mind knowing my baby is safe riding in the car.

Im so impressed with this car seat in so many ways, the first thing I noticed when I removed it from the box was the adjustable head rest and how easy it was to use, then I went to install the base and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was, and you know its secure when the bar clicks gives me a piece of mind that its safe, and I love how light the car seat itself is, some seats are extra heavy and hard for new moms to carry with baby in it but this one is perfect weight. I also like the fact that if you are traveling you have the option to secure the seat belt without the base and if you have ever traveled with a infant you know how aggravating it is to have to lug around the base and the car seat. My baby will be so comfy with the soft padding and the head support. I would give this car seat 10 stars if I could. Im so happy that I received this car seat to test from Stellar Product Panel.
