Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I love this stroller! It's not perfect, but for someone (like me) living in a small apartment in a walk-up building, and using it on all kinds of city streets, it is just about as good as it gets. Let me start by saying that my baby is 16 months old and, for the last year, we have been using a lightweight, full-featured umbrella stroller. That stroller is a great stroller, no question about it, but for our needs . . . the City Mini is just better.
It started when I noticed my upstairs neighbor taking her City Mini, and her baby, up and down our stairs with relative ease. Though I had always been happy with our stroller, I couldn't help but notice that hers seemed easier. I tried it out several times and was impressed. And after a few weeks, I finally splurged and bought the City Mini myself, even though I had sworn to my husband and myself that I'd never buy another stroller. I do not regret it one bit, because:
1. The City Mini is really ridiculously easy to fold and unfold. To fold, you literally just pull up with one hand. I can do it easily while holding my baby and then carry both him and the stroller up the stairs. Even though the City Mini, is quite a bit heavier than my 11 lb. umbrella stroller, I find it easier to get up and down - it's like carrying a heavy shopping bag in one hand. With the umbrella stroller, I had to bend to fold it, and then it was just more awkward/bulky to carry, even with the carry-strap. It ended up taking more energy even though it was lighter. Likewise on public transport, the City Mini is so easy to just fold and get on the bus, subway, whatever.
2. The City Mini sunshade canopy is great. It goes from big to bigger and has two peek-a-boo windows, which I love. Protection from sun, wind, and light rain is great.
3. It is SO easy to steer and push. Even going slightly uphill, I can literally push it with one finger. I thought my umbrella stroller had a smooth ride (and it does, compared to other umbrellas), but the City Mini blows it out of the water. (This feature is what made my husband, who thought I was insane for buying another stroller, decide that I had been right after all. He couldn't deny how much smoother the ride was.)
4. I'm fairly tall, and I don't kick the back when I walk. That was a problem with many of the strollers I had tried in the store (though, to its credit, the umbrella stroller I finally bought - the UppaBaby G-Luxe -- is also perfect for tall parents).
5. It reclines nearly flat. Naptime, anyone?
Now, as I said, the City Mini is not perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect stroller. My complaints? The seat back is not as supportive as I would like, and my baby slouches in it more than he did in the other stroller. The one-piece handlebar makes it hard to hang a bag from it; you have to use a bag with really long straps, or buy a separate stroller bag hook. I also find the rubber on the handlebar a little more hot/uncomfortable in the summer than the cool foam handles of my other stroller. The City Mini storage basket is fairly large but a little bit hard to access (not impossible - just not quite as easy as some other strollers). And the stroller does not stand when folded, so you have to prop it up against something or just hold onto it. This is the one feature my umbrella stroller has that I really miss. The first time I took my City Mini on the subway and had to prop it against the wall while I bought a Metrocard, the concrete scuffed the handlebar. Not cool.
Nevertheless, when you factor in the wonderful sunshade, the fantastic maneuveribility, and the incredible one-handed fold, the above complaints fade the background -- the City Mini still takes the cake.
If you are a city-dweller like me and debating between a City Mini and an umbrella stroller (like UppaBaby G-luxe or Maclaren), I hope you find this review particularly useful. I loved my umbrella stroller (so much, in fact, and for so long, that I almost feel like I'm cheating on it). Still, all things considered, I wish I had bought the City Mini first.
