Would you recommend this stroller for every day use? What are the major differences between an every day stroller and this one? We live in the city.

It really depends on your lifestyle. If you live in the city and have to carry the stroller up a few flights of stairs into your apartment, it might not be a great everyday stroller. If you live in the suburbs and go for lots of walks (especially on trails or unpaved surfaces) then it might be a good call. Personally, I would not want to lug this in and out of the trunk of my car for everyday errands, but I love keeping it in the garage for walks (and runs someday).

I would use it everyday. It is definitely a smoother ride than other non-jogging strollers. I found it good when going over brick sidewalks & other rougher terrains. As you mentioned that you live in the city & may have limited space, it would be good to take a look at one of these strollers in the store as it does not fold up as compactly as other strollers. That's mainly due to the larger wheels.

Yes I definitely would. I use this stroller everyday. This difference I have noticed from my friends strollers is the ease of it. Its really easy to move around with. Eben if you dont plan on jogging this is definitely a great stroller.

Yes. We bought this stroller a few months back. Although it is BEAUTIFUL, I disagree with the responders below. It sucks having to put pressure down on the bar all the time to lift the wheel. My elbows, wrists and arms hurt after a while. We live in the Bay Area - lots of turns and twists on trails and streets. Will likely be selling this model VERY soon. Not happy. One bit.

You are very welcome :) I use it on my second baby and still love it. I hope you find a stroller you are happy with! good luck!

We have the light blue version and it looks as good as new after 10 months of extensive use (at least 2 times per day). We live in Southern California and so we've never had to use in wet weather, though. I love this stroller and highly recommend it!

I have owned this stroller for a year now and my first choice was the City Select, but the price was prohibitive. I liked it at first and I still do, but I am now wishing I would have spent more money initially and gotten either the City Select Double or the City Mini Double. I bought this after my second daughter was born. She is now 14 months and my oldest is 3. The 3 year old is 32# and 37 inches tall (63rd percentile), and she looks a little squished in the seat. It does push really well and I liked that it came with both seats and the infant seat adapter, but I don't know how much longer my oldest will be comfortable. Also, it is kind of awkward to move once it is collapsed. I think the Baby Jogger City models fold up better. For these reasons, I am now considering buying the City Mini double. Hope this helps!

Absolutely! It is my only stroller and I use it all the time. It's great for the mall etc because the front wheel swivels amazingly and it is such a smooth riding stroller.its a breeze to push with one hand as well. I am a big fan of this stroller!

The stroller is a bit too big for shopping. I generally use it for running and for walking trails (excellent for trails - a true off road vehicle). I've had trouble getting around inside stores when using my Bob and sales associates generally get a little nervous when they see you coming. It's so big that they think you'll knock something down. We have a compact stroller as well and they both have great features and benefits. For shopping, leave the Bob at home.

Really easy to fold down and a little heavier and larger than a regular stroller. .depending on the size of your vehicle, it may or may not fit... I suggest check measurements..otherwise amazing!! everyday stroller!!

Nathan, I really recommend this stroller, it is easy to carry and fold, my kids like it because the seats can flip backwards or forwards. I am very satisfied with this stroller because I can go where I want to go with it. Sure you can use it for running, it worked for me and my kids enjoy the ride.

We have both. My wife and I are in our 70's, and baby sit a great grand child one day a week. We bought the umbrella stroller to move the baby around the house. We tried it for a while, and decided we needed something bigger We bought the COSCO Umbria and are very pleased, The baby is up to a year old, and we can easily get him around the house, and it also works great for out door walks on sidewalks and pavement.

I live in warm and sunny Los Angeles so I may not be able to help you out here. However, I do take this stroller to the barn a lot -- and I noticed when the terrain is not smooth -- full of dirt, sand, etc., the wheels do get stuck because they're so tiny. From what I've been told, if you frequent a non-smooth terrain (like, snow), you may want to opt for the strollers with bigger wheels. That's my uneducated opinion. Good luck! :-)

It's really not very good on rough or rocky terrain, although locking the front wheel will help a little (but that makes it harder to turn), and it's better than most strollers - I have yet to try ANY that are good for rough or rocky terrain. It's a beast just to get it up/down curbs and wobbles a lot, so best to stick to smooth surfaces. As long as I stay on pavement/sidewalks, it's a dream and I can handle it with one hand. If I'm going off-road for walks and hikes, we use the Kelty backpack instead :)

As commented, this stroller does well in different environments but is primarily designed for casual use. We would normally recommend our BOB strollers with more suspension for rugged terrain.

In my opinion, I would NOT chose this as the only stroller I have.... It is heavy, the heaviest stroller I've had to deal with, so to get it in and out of a vehicle all the time world get to be a nuisance. I still have trouble folding it up. Not the easiest fold.

I use it as an everyday stroller. It maneuvers really well and isn't any bigger than other full size strollers.

Yes, it is much better than the previous model. I was worried that I wouldn't like the basket but I absolutely love this stroller!

Honestly, it's a great stroller. I've had it on and off paved roads. Great stroller!
