I have a 43 inch, 38 pound toddler. Is this too small? We love our city mini, but it's heavy for travel. If not the chicco, any travel stroller ideas?

My son is 36 lbs are already outgrew it. It's super light and I love it but my sons is fairly thin and light and the waistband/belt no longer fits

My Toddler weights 25lbs and she just fits in this stroller. This stroller is not made as well as it once was made. I find it to be cheaply made does not recline all the way down but it does serve a purpose of being light and easy to handle. I keep mine in my truck for quick trips to bank, grocery shop etc.

This will definitely work for you. My boy is 48in and about 44 pounds. And we spend a week in NY and that was all I used.

I think it could be too small, but most importantly, it is not a great stroller, it broke after just couple uses for us. Uppababy is what we ended up with especially from what I learned from other reviews, it has great warranty if you use its brand traveler bag.

Yes I think this would be too small. We love this for airport travel b/c it is so light and compact. Also I can easily manage it in and out of the trunk for quick errands around town. However, our guy is a smaller 2year old and just under 30lbs. I find there is ample room in the seat for him, but not enough length in the straps to accommodate much more growth. Don't have any other suggestions. This is a stable stroller with great wheels - for the price I could not be happier.

I personally think you would want something a little bigger. Sorry that I don't have any suggestions as this is the only umbrella stroller I am familiar with and I do love it but for a smaller child.

It is pretty heavy, in my opinion, compared to my previous Combi Cosmo stroller. This is a full-sized stroller that is bulky and doesn't collapse very small. It's the bulkiness that makes it difficult to carry if you are carrying other things as well, like your child or bags. I would consider other combi strollers that are more compact if you anticipate a lot of bus rides.

Did you end up purchasing this stroller or a different one? I am in the same predicament and haven't decided. Concerned that my two kids, 2 years and 5 months, both 100th percentile, will outgrow quickly. Thanks for any feedback.

My son's car seat is evenflo symphony. Its heavy and D. weight about 26lbs. I bought the mini travelmate and It was very helpful, but i think its worth spend a little more money to get the regular gogo babyz travelmate, because the minin is not as strong... I am sure for next trip i wont be able to use it.

Agreed. We literally got back from California tonight. My kids are 16 months and 3 and a half years old. Very few cars could accommodate a stroller this big is the only downfall, we rent mini vans, by the time you get it and your luggage in, you'll be happy you did. I have a toyota Highlander so it's no biggy for us around home. For anyone who doesn't know though, you don't actually take the stroller onto the plane, once you are about to board the plane from the airwalk you drop the stroller there and it gets checked, then you pick it up in the same place after the flight.. Most air lines check strollers and car seats for free fyi as well. Your wording sounded like you planned on taking it onto the plane, so I thought I would clarify that.

We have been considerign purchasing this, can anyone attest to the true smaller size this posts. I just bought a Nissan Versa and thought 3 kids would fit comfortably in the back seat (not quite). We currently have the Evenflo Triumph, Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster, and an 11 year old that gets squeezed wherever she fits. The kids are actually 3, 9, and 11. The 9 year old still needs the booster-he is only 60 pounds. I am considering purchasing this car seat but only if I can get all three kids comfortable in the back seat. This would replace the Triumph.

this is a "travel system", which means you will use it from new born till 3YO or more. Just for that is heavy, but there are lighter ones. I would not recommend to travel with it in a bus, you will find it heavy, bulky and way too impractical. For that better to buy a light weight stroller.

I have had over 15 strollers over the years. This one is my favorite heavy duty stroller. The chicco trevi side by side is a wonderful lite weight stroller. Folds easily and is the narrow. The britax fits through all doors I have been through except one that was in an old building. I say this bc maybe the chicco would be better for Europe. I think it's cheaper too. Let me know if you have any other questions.

we have the city mini gt. it fits, but you have to take the two back wheels off. not a big deal- they snap on and off pretty easily and then stroller just slides in. tossed wheels in the seat area of stroller, pretty protected. bag is big/long for the stroller, so there is room to add other stuff- coats and such- before tying it up. we used this for one trip (2 flights) and it got pretty beat up. ripped in a few places. i think all of these types of bags last for about a trip or two. but its better for the bag to get beat up instead of the stroller!

I love this stroller... I used the car seat in the frame and as he got bigger I switched to the bassinet then stroller seat. It's not to heavy. I researched many strollers and this had everything I needed. Hope this helps. Btw.. He's almost 2 now and I still love how he can still use it! One stroller... Period!

I agree completely. I had the bulky travel system with my first child and decided to skip that and just get Britax straight away. We are getting a lightweight stroller for when baby gets bigger but I plan on mostly carrying them with me with the help of a moby. The infant carriers are overrated and unnecessary.

Uable to respond ... out of town and away from stroller. I can say I have been happy with stroller ... I have a 7 lb. Yorkie.

This stroller worked well for us and I had children similar ages. Make sure you measure the back of the vehicle you plan to travel in. It is a very long stroller. It fit in the back of our suburban, but it was leaned diagonally and propped on the window ledge. Also, it is a bit difficult to steer. I didn't mind that much because it was lightweight and narrow. It's a good choice for a family with a baby and two toddlers. We didn't have Amy trouble selling it when didn't need it any longer. I hope this helps. Good luck.

The front seat is not so good for bigger kids. I have a 5 yr old that is 45 lbs+ and he fits perfectly in the back seat. There is a zipper at the bottom of that seat that will open a pouch for their feet. We have taken this stroller to Disneyland and It is perfect! I love it! People don't even realize there is a 2nd kid back there.

Yes, this stroller should work well for you. I purchased for my twins, who are now 1 year old and have used mostly because we live in a very hilly area and didn't want to lug our big stroller w/ car seats attached around neighborhood / and also use for pediatrician visits. But this stroller is light weight and folds easily, so should work well for traveling. Sun visors are on the light side, so they don't hold up well in the wind, but other than that it's a good stroller.

Yes, this is exactly the reason we decided to go with this stroller---because it seems to be designed with NYC life in mind. It is also great from traveling on planes and other. Between the traditional City Mini and the City Mini GT---I think I like better the City Mini (2011 version)--although we only used the GT (2014 version) for a few months because our daughter grew out of using strollers on a regular basis. Overall these are great strollers and would highly recommend them!

The stroller is not as robust as the Chicco cortina larger stroller. I used this with the car seat snapped in at first and now that my little one is 9 months, she just sits in the seat. I drive a Jeep grand Cherokee and it fits fine long ways in the back. It's lightweight and folds up very easily. I purchased because I wanted a lightweight stroller but not a flimsy umbrella stroller. This one is just right and I loved that my Chicco key fit 30 car seat snapped into it! Overall, I am Very happy with the purchase!
