Baby jogger city GT, or something else?

I have a Quinny Buzz that at 7 yrs old is on it's last legs. Front wheel is 'bokety' even on a smooth surface, it is heavy and a bugger to fold, so much so that I go out of my way to avoid putting it in the car! I have a Dreami carrycot but DD hates to be flat ( bit refluxy) so pushchair that is suitable from birth would be helpful. We dog-walk every day so needs to cope with mild off road-ing (across grass in the park rather than up a mountain). I do like parent-facing option but not a deal breaker.

Your comments on the baby jogger GT, or other suggestions, appreciated!

I found one review that said the GT tipped backwards easily when the seat was fully reclined - any experiences of that?

It is a little back heavy, which is great for light steering. I struggled a bit with a glider board on, it never actually tipped but did feel like the possibility was there. I don't think I ever reclined mine so I don't know how that affects things. I had a britax b motion straight after, which is much more front heavy, steering harder but felt more grounded.

If you're not expecting it to be stroller small then it's a great pushchair for what you're looking for. If you want to retain parent facing then have a look at the easywalker mini, easywalker mosey, possibly the casualplay kudu 3. The nipper is also an excellent choice, bulkier fold and maybe a smidge longer than the gt but very very popular choice.

Baby Jogger City Mini GT - fabulous, dependable pushchair which you can literally take anywhere. Mine has never even felt tippy - in fact - its the opposite - very grounded. It's my 'old faithful'. I love it.
