Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Eco stroller: how does it look?
The City Tour 2 Eco has a sleek, modern design that’s both practical and stylish. It’s narrow and lightweight, making it super easy to steer, even in tight spaces. One of the standout features is its simple, no-rethread stroller harness that allows you to adjust the height of the straps quickly and easily without having to unthread and rethread them through the back of the seat.
"The overall design is very simple, which I like. The material feels durable but is also breathable, which is a huge bonus. We haven’t used it in warmer weather yet, but I can imagine it’ll be fine as it doesn’t feel like warm material,” says Connie. The only downside is that it’s currently only available in black, which can feel a bit restrictive if you're after a wider range of colour options. Still, it combines style, ease of use, and comfort all in one.
Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Eco stroller: Is it safe and sturdy?
Yes! Baby Jogger is renowned for creating high-quality, innovative strollers and this lightweight option is no different. The City Tour Eco 2 has advanced suspension making it safer to navigate bumpy terrain, plus it comes with a secure three-point harness and lockable front swivel wheels for easy manoeuvring.
However, Connie points out that because the City Tour 2 Eco is so lightweight, it’s not as stable as some of the bulkier strollers when carrying heavier items. For instance, hanging a fully packed changing bag on the back of the stroller can cause it to tip over, especially when your child isn’t seated in it. This is something to keep in mind if you rely on your stroller for extra storage during outings.
That said, it’s perfectly fine for lighter bags and feels safe and sturdy while steering and manoeuvring. “When walking around, this stroller feels very safe,” says Connie. “I love how the straps on the harness can be easily detached at the clip points. It stops them from getting twisted or tangled like the harnesses on my other strollers, which is such a frustration,” Connie adds. She also found the brake at the bottom accessible and easy to click on and off no matter what shoes she was wearing.
How comfortable is the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Eco stroller?
Very! “My son asks to get in the stroller all the time. He really loves it and when I recline it to a full flat position, he’ll say night-night! It’s the only stroller I’ve used that he seems to be able to sleep in,” says Connie. Like its predecessor, the City Tour 2 Eco features an adjustable calf support and a large UV 50+ canopy, providing comfort and protection for children in any weather. “The sun hood is so protective and makes it easy to allow for naps with low visibility.”
When it comes to the padding on the stroller, Connie says it’s great. “The seat is well-cushioned, so it feels quite comfy for little ones, even on longer outings. There’s padding on the leg rest as well, which is a lovely touch for added comfort. It also comes with a bumper bar, which not only makes it feel a bit more secure but also gave my son something to hold onto on walks and I could attach pram toys if I wanted to. Overall, it feels like they’ve really thought about making it cosy for the child, not just convenient for the parents!" adds Connie.
When it comes to steering, this stroller is highly manoeuvrable thanks to its lightweight and nimble design. Despite the handlebar not being adjustable, both Connie and her husband find it easy to steer comfortably. “I’m 5’2” and its very comfortable for me to push. It also works for my husband who is around 5’9”.”
