We bought this for our grandchild and have been able to use it when they visit. It rolls along very well and steers easily, even with one hand when necessary.

Quality lacking on City Mini Zip
By MamaH
from undisclosed
on March 15, 2018
Verified Buyer
We previously had a City Select and we were very happy with it. We bought a City Mini Zip for it's smaller size. It works great however I have had to replace 5 snaps and within two months of using the baby seat attachment for Peg Perego 4-35 the stroller fabric has holes from the attachment frame rubbing. It's so frustrating as the quality is lacking. Our new baby is only two months old and the stroller is falling apart from using it about dozen times indoors at the shopping centre.For the price, this stroller model is not worth it.

BEST STROLLER EVER
By Cm91725n
from Bronx, NY, United States
on July 3, 2017
I am one of those moms who looked for the perfect stroller for weeks before making a final decision. I'm so happy that I chose this stroller. It's perfect for the on the go parents. Perfect for transit travel!! I use to take a 3 hr transit ride to work with my 2 year old son and the city mini zip made it so much easier than I thought it would be. Every traveling mom knows how important it is to be able to close a carriage with one hand. This stroller is the one! I cannot tell you how many times I got stopped by others asking me where I got my stroller from (because they saw how easy it was for me to carry my bag and my toddler whilst closing my carriage....without even having to bend down!!!). Plus not super bulky and heavy like the more fancier ones. Not to mention the draw back that allows your little one to lay down if they fall asleep. I hated the idea of my son falling asleep in a stroller that would make his neck look so uncomfortable. Other perks: I do grocery shopping on my own and I am able to stuff an incredible amount of groceries in the bottom storage and even hang some off top (and I walked home). The stroller is easy to navigate! The wheels give it a full range of motion. You also have an optional foot rest for your little one. The accessories are the stroller all live up to its expectations except one: the cup holder. It's SO CHEAPLY BUILT and would hold absolutely NOTHING! So I ditched that as soon as open the stroller out the box. I ended up buying the baby jogger organizer (which has 2 cup holders). The stroller also protected my son from the sun!!! Full coverage unlike some other top brand strollers. Gosh I could go on an go about this stroller. I would definitely buy this again!!!

Lots of problem
By Vivian
from Victoria, BC, Canada
on April 7, 2017
My brakes stopped working in the first month I bought. Then one of the snap button became loose when I tried to unbutton the fabric for a machine wash, the fold mechanism was not smooth, it needs a few attempt to tried to fold them, I can't do it while I am pregnant. The button Half rounded bar was unable to click and secured now after the fold mechanism broke down. It was a disappointing experience overall.do not know where can I send this to repair in Canada. The store we bought from was not responsible for this.

We bought this in June 2016 and have only used it a handful of times. The breaks stopped working and the wheels squeak like crazy. We only bought this for store shopping and flights as it is compact. I thought it would be sturdy like other models. I have never taken it on rough terrain, only smooth surfaces.

Hard to fold :(
By KaraR
from Lethbridge, AB, Canada
on December 15, 2016
I bought this stroller as our travel stroller. It has many great features including the compact size and light weight. I wanted to love this stroller but then the problems started. We have difficulties folding the stroller down as it takes a lot of jiggling around before it actually folds. The brakes are awful-they are very hard to put on and once on it takes a lot of force to take the breaks off. After the last fight with the breaks I am scared to use them again in case they do not let go. My other problem with this stroller has been the harness straps. The top harness straps come undone very easily which makes me very nervous when using this with our 8 month old. The other problem that we keep having is losing the strap covers-they slip off easily as the top harness straps pop off so many times. Like I said I really wanted to love this stroller but it definitely did not perform to typical baby jogger/city select stroller standards.

5th stroller for our 9 m.o.; it's the best one yet
By echo1
from Hong Kong
on November 20, 2016
came across this site looking for accessories, after reading a few reviews on top, I figure I'd like to voice out a little... we bought this stroller just two weeks ago and for our 9 months (and us), this is the best one yet... We purchased this while traveling abroad, it was so obvious we needed this instead we dumped left our old ones behind Pluses from our point of view: - 1st thing that caught my eye, the seat is higher than the traditional full size, other strollers with higher seating tends to be truck-size. - 2nd thing that caught my attention, it is lighter and folds better (more compact) than the traditional full size. - Folding/Unfolding actually takes 3 steps (1st two being a one-hand operation, the 3rd requires two hand; unfolding also takes 3 steps; While it may not be a 1 step or 1 hand operation, but once folded, it's much easier to stow away than the traditional ones - This stroller is quite sturdy - The back lays relatively flat (big plus for us) - The stroller is actually quite wide (can fit slim teenagers). - big storage space, front loading, which makes it ok even if baby is asleep - Having used it for 2 weeks, it's obvious our baby likes it better than our previous ones as well. Cons... - seems like the front cross bar and car seat adapter cannot be installed at the same time? - the front cross bar should come in standard (now I have to try and find one) - I feel the handle bar is a little awkward (wife feels fine) I'm reading other reviews whom have issues regarding the quality, mine was fine and thus far, it seems to last (finger's crossed)

Very good little stroller
By JAS1
from Toronto
on November 12, 2016
I have had this for 4 months. Bought it for my then 6 month old in anticipation of a summer trip. First off I have had no issues with breaks. The sun canopy is #1 and kept my infant safe in very hot and sunny protection. I loved the fold and the fact that it unfolds into basically a full size stroller allowing for longer use. As many reviewers have noted a peekaboo window is seriously lacking and would probably (but for my fabric issue) resulted in a 5 star rating. My only issue was the fabric tore a small hole 2 weeks in. Baby jogger's solution was to send new fabric in a different colour than what i ordered. I bought a teal stroller because I liked the teal but replacement fabric only came in red. If I wanted red I would have bought red. This went over cobblestones with ease and was very comfortable for my baby. It really is a hybrid, convenient fold of an umbrella (actually better than most umbrella strollers) But unfolds into a full sized stroller with an unparalleled sun protection in a stroller of its class.

Travel Stroller Heaven
By Marie1981
from Vancouver, BC, Canada
on October 19, 2016
I bought this stroller a month ago for travelling with a 3.5year old for those times just in case it was needed and for the airport. I was looking for a stroller that would accommodate a tall child and would last for a trip to Europe next year and take up minimal room. My 41 inch daughter loves it and calls it her traveller stroller. I purchased the belly bar on Amazon and it has made the stroller even better. We are currently on holidays and it is paying for itself. It folds up easy for going up and down escalators, specifically at a NFL football game where it was a long walk and a large crowd so we had it just in case and it was perfect. Friends on the trip without children have commented on the ease of steering and pushing with one hand and we have received comments about the fold. There is one feature that I am uncertain of is the red safety strap, it isn't clear in the instruction on whether it clips on both sides or only one side.....and it doesn't mention it on the folding instructions. Loving the stroller so far and will update as I continue my travels. I was hesitant on purchasing based on the reviews so needed to share a positive one for others who are wondering!

Very disappointed
By KJay

on August 28, 2016
I just bought this stroller a few weeks ago and I'm disappointed at how much I dislike it. Even more so because I waisted money on purchasing the rain over as well. The straps (harness) keep falling apart and I think my strap to close the stroller isn't working, as it takes about 5-8 tries each time. the quality is also not what I expected from such a well based company like baby jogger. I definitely wouldn't suggest this product to anyone.

Very disappointed with the zip and regret not getting city mini. The straps never stay on and do not adjust properly. Within 7 months the brake stopped working and thankfully it was covered by warranty. However, tbe second frame broke as well within 7 months! Brake doesnt lock.

Not happy
By Sierra40
from Ireland
on May 25, 2016
Having owned a city select for the past 5 years i assumed this stroller would be of the same great quality,i was very wrong . I ordered it online from Germany and when it arrived i thought it was a little flimsy,i also thought after paying quite a lot of money for it a raincover could have been included. I only got to use the stroller a handful of a times before the stitching on one of the straps came undone and one of the plastic parts fell off,then 2 of the screws on the frame loosened and fell out so the stroller can no longer be used. I'm annoyed i've spent so much for nothing :( My city select is 5years old and still going strong.

Super small and light weight but sturdy
By Nataliejayne
from Dorchester, United Kingdom
on May 1, 2016
We brought this for our 2 year old who had really grown out of his travel system (which was too big and heavy for me) and the seat is big and spacious, the hood is high but great when extended for Keeping the sun off, idea for Taking on holiday, takes up no room in the boot, the handle height is suitable for my 6ft 2 husband and it's easy to fold and unfold. Expensive when all the accessories are purchased but we feel well worth it. We now have a baby on the way and have brought car seat adaptors and a buggy board.

Worse folding and breaks
By Lc1088
from Staten Island, NY, United States
on April 14, 2016
Its a great stroller but.......the fold is a mess, does not fold as easy as they make it sound does not fold just with a pull, ypu have to pull and push the stroller down you can't definitely not fold this stroller with baby in hand, also major disappointment the brakesssss!!!! Ahhhhh its killing me, the brakes are sooooo stiff you have to literally use all your force to lock and unlock, i feel like its going to break any moment, and last but not least no padding what's so ever on the sides of the stroller so baby's head will bump into very hard steel metal bars from side to side

City Mini Zip Frame poor quality
By P C.
from Undisclosed
on October 19, 2015
After less than 8 months of use a screw fell out of the frame. We are surprised with the lack of durability considering we used it very gently. We are very disappointed considering the cost of the stroller. I have strollers that are much older that work better than this one. The brake is also tricky to use and we also had trouble with squeaking wheels.

We wanted a 'nice' compact travel stroller. Not what we got. First there was an issue with the seat. Baby Jogger Customer Care sent a replacement (that I had to figure out how to attach). We then took our stroller to Europe. On day 3 of our trip, screws started to fall out of the frame! Baby Jogger Customer Care sent us a replacement frame. I'm now supposed to put my replacement seat on my replacement frame. There is obviously a quality issue. I am now the proud owner of a Frankenstein stroller.

Great concept...not so great product
By disappointed
from Brooklyn, NY, United States

I purchased the zip for my nine month old daughter. I was excited about the easy and compact fold. It looks nice and seemed super practical. But she hates it and so do I. First, the seat does not sit up all the way as many babies like to do. There is not even an available belly bar for her to pull herself up with. It also takes a few tries before it folds. It may be because I am petite, but I can hardly fold it. At first I assumed it was because it was new, but I have it for three months already and it didn't get easier. And then the brake got stuck. We were able to force it open, but I am scared to break it now. So all in all, this is a great stroller in theory, but needs a few improvements.

Great concept, terrible quality
By Naomis
from Toronto, ON, Canada
on June 23, 2015
Meant as a travel stroller, it has many perks, many features that I loved. Until the 4th day of trip to Europe the brake would not release. We were left with no option but to go buy a new stroller. Due to our luggage and new stroller we had no choice but leave this next to a garbage can where it belongs. A friend of mine bought this at the same time I did last month and her front wheels squeak and she has brake issues as well. It clearly has some technical issues that need to be worked out before this stroller is meant to be on the market. Save your money and buy something else. This travel stroller ruined two days of our holiday, one finding a new stroller and the other trying to find a way to ship it hime. We gave up. Terrible service from the Canadian distributor and we basically just threw away our money on this. Travel stroller yes, good for travel NO!!!!!

The perfect umbrella stroller
By Liamsmom
from Philadelphia, PA, United States
on June 9, 2015
I have poured over hundreds of reviews, blogs and watched an obscene amount of videos, obsessed find the PERFECT travelling stroller. (Well, I've come to found that there is no such thing, but the City Mini Zip comes pretty close with a few The City Mini Zip is almost the same size as the regular City Mini, but the material is a bit thinner (making it lighter) the footprint is significantly smaller when fold. This will be great for us when we take DS out to dinner, the BJ City Select, which we love, is rather large to store at restaurants. Its a lightweight stroller with the benefits of a full sized one. There is a reasonable sized basket for storage underneath. The canopy is HUGE compared to any other stroller that weve seen, the downside is there is no peek a boo window, but the canopy is huge and it has SPF 50 which is key for our upcoming Disney Cruise to the Carribean. A HUGE bonus is that it has a belly bar, which I've found that a lot of the travel strollers do not have. I don't know why, because DS LOVES holding on to it- he grabbed on and pulled himself forward, as soon as I snapped it on. I wish the bar would swivel open, so I don't have to put him in behind the bar or take the bar off completely to get him in, but again, I rather have it than not. For some reason, the belly bar is not available on the Baby Jogger website. The recline is very nice, almost flat, so I'm confident DS will be able to nap comfortably when we are old all day on port excusions. I wish that there was a lever to engaged the recline instead of the drawstring, thus making it a two handed operation. The footrest is nice, so DSs little legs arent just dangling there, which he really did not like in the Armadillo. I also like that the bottom portion of the seat can be adjusted, so his legs can be straight when he is napping. We have the Britax B-Safe car seat and it is compatible with this stroller, so it makes convenient to use when our DD arrives in October! The wheels are small (5.5 inches) and made of a hard rubber, which makes it a noisier ride than our BJCS. When I tested it out in our historical city, it did not fare well over cobblestones or uneven pavement, but this isnt our everyday stroller so I'm ok with that. However it maneuvered beautifully in Whole Foods and we got by some displays that we normally would avoid with the CS. The one handed steering is great, I don't have an issue with the buckle in the center of the handle bars as others have. The brakes are straight forward, red on the right for lock and green on the left for unlock, I have not had issues with it sticking as others have mentioned. I like that baby jogger finally threw us a bone and gave us a cup holder, however it protrudes from the side of the stroller and I can't image using it for something other than a closed container. I think a starbucks coffee would spill after the first bump you hit. The downside so far was this is our SECOND Zip in 24 hours! The first one, a piece of the frame cracked and flew off when I folded it, so I took it back to the store to exchange for another one. So far this one is holding up well, but I've only had it for the weekend, so only time will tell. I think we might have achieved finding the almost perfect travel stroller, less a few minor grips, but I'm always finding any excuse to buy a new one so this one will suffice for now.

Good not great
By Jess J.
from Jacksonville, FL, United States
on June 5, 2015
I bought this stroller because it handles like a full size stroller but folds up nice and compact. My daughter is now 8 months old and I still love he way this stroller handles but I wish I'd gone another route. The brakes, which started out easy to use, are now extremely difficult to use and doesn't stay locked. The basket on the bottom, while bigger than most travel strollers, is impossible to access if baby is sleeping in a reclined position. And finally the reason I almost didn't buy this stroller in the first place is the lack of accessories. This stroller would be so much better with a tray or belly bar.

After 4 weeks of using this stroller, the folding was still not smooth...took a few yanks and pushes to get it opened andclosed.the store i bought it from told me it just needs to be worked in but it didn't help. The wheels started squeeking so i made my entrance very loud and clear when walking down the street. On top of that, a piece of the stroller fell orandomly, and a screw popped off and the entire braking system stopped working. When we sent in a complaint they only want to send us a new frame...what about the squeeky wheels and folding mechanism? Extremely disappointed to get such quality and customer service after paying $345 (tax included) for this stroller. It's a shame because i would have loved for this stroller to work out..it has great features except i wasnt able to gain from them because the stroller barely worked.

NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS

We bought this stroller for my second child around 5 months ago. We wanted a compact, easy to maneuver and good quality stroller. But, by now it feels like an old stroller, first started squeaking and now is falling apart. We really like this stroller but the quality is not good. I think for the price, a regular stroller, even the city mini would be better.

Good but missing features
By Naddal
from Toronto, ON, Canada
on December 12, 2014
We bought this stroller to travel with and it works great as an umbrella stroller. It is just missing some features which would be so easy for the company to fix. There is no peek a boo window, which would be so easy to add. Also the recline feature doesn't allow the child to fully sit up and lastly there is no belly bar which would then allow for a tray. Small add ons that would make a world of difference.

Excellent design, small size, build quality is lacking. Braking system is poor(broke), shoulder straps don't stay locked, seat stays reclined and doesn't sit in an upright position. Sent an email to manufacturer for warranty they told me to use WD40 for the brake. Not very helpful.

Not as good as it looks/seems
By ChristinaH

on November 24, 2014
My husband and I purchased this as a 2nd stroller for travelling with our 8 month old. It's ideal size for travel was a huge plus. The straps on it are cheap and don't stay tight, the break quit locking and the reclining option is great but the upright position doesn't allow her to sit up completely straight. It's an expensive umbrella style stroller I would consider buying something else if I had it to do over.

Fell in love.... at first
By Michelle914
from Harrison, NY, United States
on October 22, 2014
When I was shopping for third stroller, I had specific requirements in mind: lots of cover from the sun, easy to fold and carry, and good quality. I got the first two, but the quality I'm here and there about. First off, it definitely shields from the sun, it's a much smoother ride than the Liteway by Chicco that preceded it, and I love how it folds up. It relieved some of the stress at the airport. HOWEVER... here are the issues I have.... 1. my child is always slipping, so she's all slumped, I have to adjust her 2-3 times in the span of an hour walk. 2. It's very hard to maneuver in sidewalk cracks, or lips, the wheels always get stuck and I've literally had to muscle my way out, grunting and everything, 3. My wheels are squeaking, 4. The brakes don't really work that great. I have to really push with my foot to engage the break and similarly to unbrake it. In fact, sometimes I work really hard to break only to find out that the brakes aren't engaged. Man what a pain. and finally, 5., the straps do slide constantly, I've already lost the sheath that goes over one of the straps. If I could do it all over again and had more money I wouldn't buy this stroller , but I think I made the right decision for travelling and my budget.

We had another stroller that was sturdier but my husband and I wanted a compact stroller for travel and came upon this one. I REALLY wish we waited until there were more reviews before getting this. It is pretty compact and my husband added backpack straps for carrying it down the stairs while traveling. It also is easy to maneuver, even with one hand. But it really feels flimsy. It's only a few months old but feels like it's a couple years old. It squeaks sometimes. It's not so easy to close and open with one hand. It doesn't sit up very straight so my daughter gets annoyed at that. The good thing is that the shoulder and waist straps are separate so we only use the waist straps to keep her happy. They don't sell a stroller bar or tray yet so that kind of sucks. I think this stroller needs a bit more work before it can be rated well. Too late to return it so I guess we are stuck. I think for the price, a regular stroller, even the city mini would be better.

Great Stroller...A Bit Squeaky

I am new to the Baby Jogger fan base. I got stroller envy when I saw Baby Joggers all over the place.So I purchased the City Mini Zip, since I loved the fold and compact size of it, yet functioning as a full stroller. It's been a great pleasure owning this stroller since early August, however it's starting to act like it's a lot older than that. The front wheels are very squeaky and they sound like they need a lube of WD-40. Also, the frame acts a bit flimsy when I put my 40lb niece in it. It is meant for my daughter who is only 25 lbs, however the stroller notes that it can hold up to 50 lbs. I want to love this stroller but I feel like I just wasted my money.

One hand fold, comfy...

We replaced our umbrella stroller with it about a month ago. Our umbrella was twice as long as this one. We do have a big bulky stroller that isn't so handy as this one sitting in a trunk and taking as much space as grocery bag! So huge plus - one hand fold and open - while holding baby. The seat us big wide and comfortable for both - 7 mo and 3yo. The canopy gives tones of shade. Small pocket on the back - perfect for on go items- key phone...Another big thing - stroller glides by one hand with no struggling - no matter if 3 yo or infant in it. Minuses- no peek a boo window! It trips if left without a kid and with diaper bag hanging at the bar ( but full one). So, pretty good stroller - I compare to bumbletide, mountain buggi nano, aprica presto flat, uppa baby Cruz. I really hope they will make some extras for that stroller like belly bar!!! I really like that option! I am sure they will soon - the model is quite new. Overall if you need easy on the go stroller that your kid and you will be comfortable it's a choice for you.

Surprisingly lightweight!

I was very pleasantly surprised when I first pushed the City Mini ZIP and realized that it felt and pushed like a full featured stroller similar to a City Mini. The added bonus is that the stroller folds so small and offers amazing flexibility when storing in my car. So I have a full size stroller that folds like those tiny umbrella strollers, amazing! My son loves the adjustable footrest, as it allows him to kick back relax and have his legs up... I would recommend this stroller to anybody who has a kid.

Fantastic Travel and Everyday Stroller!!!

I was in the market for a stroller to take on vacation to Europe. I currently have the Bugaboo Cameleon, and while I love that stroller, the inconvenience and bulkiness of the stroller is not good for a suburban mom like me who is constantly in and out of my car. So taking that stroller on vacation was a definite no-no. So I was on the hunt for a "full size like" stroller but light and compact enough to travel with. Behold...I had the pleasure of having a salesperson take me through all the strollers that fit my criteria - huge canopy, compact for travel, seats like a full size, full recline (or close). The City Mini Zip fit all my criteria. This stroller had it all. The only thing it doesn't have that is a "would of liked" is a peekaboo window, but I can always just look in here and there. So I must say I am so excited about this stroller because it is a one, two, three to not only open and close, but is super comfortable. "I had my daughter sit in every stroller to make sure she felt and looked comfortable - she's 15 months old and will make it known when she's not happy:)"

Momma bird not happy with this stroller!
By Rhon73

Just bought this to travel with 35 inch 19 month old. Not happy with this stroller and will be returning it back to the store! Shoulder straps would not stay attached to clips and had to use lap straps only. The seat doesn't sit up enough. The straps in the back to raise and lower seat was really long but the clips would not allow you to raise the seat all the way. Would only go to a reclined position for the highest position. Cannot adjust to handle bars. But if this can accommodate a tall child, wouldn't you think their parents would be tall?? I am 5'9!!!! There is no Window on top of canopy to check on your child. Oh and the basket below... Horrific! Not easy to put nor retrieve your items. Does not come with tray or bar but sales person said I could order it. NOT! Come to find out neither item is available for this model. Good points... Was big enough to accommodate my tall son, very light weight and folded very easy. Very disappointed with this model and will check out the City Elite. Wish me luck!!
