Our Review
We love how nippy this little pushchair is, while still being a super high-quality lightweight pushchair. You might have heard of Babyzen before when they shot to fame for bringing out the first buggy to fit in the overhead compartment of an aeroplane. It’s a four-wheel pram with an impressive suspension system. And, unlike a lot of prams, if you do happen to notice the wheels wearing down, you can just pick up an extra set of wheels and there’s no need to fork out for a full new pram.
If you walk into the airport with your Babyzen, they’ll definitely recognise it, and you’ll have the added satisfaction of walking past everyone else waiting for their pushchairs to come round the luggage claim (we all know they’ll be the last things off the plane).
What we like
- Cabin/car friendly
- A pop up canopy with 2 positions
- Extras such as rain cover included as standard with the pram
- Lightweight but still strong and durable
- Modern, stylish design
Useful product information
- While most parents love this pushchair, some have reported the wheels wobbling when out and about.
Our Review
Don’t let the ‘jogger’ in the name deceive you, this 4 wheel model is perfect for everyday urban living as a lightweight pushchair. This pram's near-flat seat recline makes it the ultimate pushchair that every city dweller needs from the newborn stage.
Like the ‘City Tour’ in the name suggests, this pram is perfect for manoeuvring in and out of busy streets and crowds. And, if you’re going home to a smaller-than-ideal flat at the end of the day, the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 folds up super well to be stored away (85% smaller than when it’s unfolded).
What we like
- Lightweight pushchair but still strong and durable
- Reasonable price
- Best pram for people with limited storage
Useful product information
- Some parents have notes that the wheels can be noisy when on certain terrain, and some think that they wobble a lot when on surfaces that aren't completely smooth.
