Does the Baby Jogger City work well for trips to the mall and daily walks?

Yes, it's quick and easy to fold/unfold. I use it all the time for grocery, mall trips and general running errands. It has a large basket that fits bags/groceries. It also does awesome on walks through the neighborhood and has good turning base and large wheels. Very happy with this stroller!

That is exactly what I use it for. It's the only stroller I have! It's a little heavy compared to a cheap umbrella stroller, so the loading in and out of the car trunk is a little heavy (esp. if you're pregnant like me), but definitely doable. I use mine for errands as well as exercise walks (and very slow jogs) around my neighborhood. I take mine with me everywhere.

No. It hasn't been a problem though during runs, walks or even at the zoo but it's not a stroller for the mall.

I got this to use with a baby jogger city mini. It works ok. It is too big, but we have made it work.

That's one of the reasons I got this one. We have a city jogger that's twenty some pounds. It's a pain for everyday chores. This one is super light, less than 12 lb and fits down isles in stores better. It's light than a lot of the other umbrella strollers I researched too, but not the lightest. Those cheap crappy little ones are lighter.

It's not to bad for malls. But I would get a compact one for small shoppes or going to the DR. It's pretty bulky for some situations. I like the stroller though for parks and walks.

I've used mine for jogging on pavement and it's great. You just lock the front tires and it's very stable and easy to steer. Also, this stroller does have suspension (hidden in the rear frame forks) so it's actually quite a comfortable ride on the run. Of course the suspension is nowhere near as much as a jogger would have, but even so, for simple runs on pavement I use my Vista instead of my BOB.

I have not used it as a jogger yet. It has been very stable as a trailer providing I ride sensibly. I believe it will be fine as a jogger if jogging occurs on paved decent surfaces and with out abrupt changes of direction. Any jogger is subject to sensible use. I would buy this product again.

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

Hi I am afraid not. This stroller doesn't have the tires that are on a jogger. They are bigger than an umbrella stroller but not for any type of exercise. Maybe if you wanted to power walk then it might be ok but not too much speed.

Yes, I used it when I went running over vacation in Paris and London. It worked in both areas.

Yes, this is a great stroller for the city of the beach! Its very popular and is a great design!

I have done light jogging on smooth pavement with mine with no problems. That is not really what this stroller is intended for, but if you mostly use it for walking and outings and occasional jogging on smooth surfaces, I think it would work for you. If you are planning to buy this stroller to use mainly as a jogger, I would recommend you look at the BOB or the Baby Jogger Summit. Those can be both joggers or everyday use strollers.

Definately not the city mini GTNot sure about the Elite but I would say not.Baby jogger has all extras and all items seem to me to be pram specific so more costly but a great pram

no, this shouldnt be used to jog with, its not steady enough at higher speeds, this is just the perfect stroller for traveling or day to day general use - so easy to collapse and carry, lays flat and isnt bulky

I have this stroller and while it's definitely not as light and easy to push as a real jogger like the BOB, I've found that on a decently smooth city jogging trail (like the one close to my house), I can do a slow jog and push it just fine. And slow jogging is all I'm doing these days, post baby. :)

For an occasional brief run over smooth ground, it would be ok. But if you want to run every day, or several times a week, I would definitely get a jogging stroller. A proper jogger will roll more smoothly and absorb bumps better.

Yes. I have used it many times for walks in the neighborhood, especially at times when baby didn't like the bassinet of our regular stroller. I just had to be mindful of certain patches of sidewalk in our neighbor that were extra bumpy (really they are patches that should be repaired). It was perfect when we took it downtown for a jazz festival - it rode just fine and our other stroller would have been too big for maneuvering.
