Impossible to adjust seatbelt height – Very hard to adjust the height of the belt. Can be pretty hard to reach down where the belt is as the back doesn't have a zip to open up only tiny hole from top Show details

Amazing durability – Our little one is 5 now and the GT was a great choice. The main thing I loved about it was how long it lasted as a comfortable safe pram (until LO was 4!) I wasn’t keen on spending many hundreds for a 1-2 year pram. I appreciated the suspension & rubber wheels- they make heaps of difference in having a smooth ride for bub and creating a stable… Read more
base that absorbs the bumps in the road (rather than sending the shakes up the frame & seat) I’ve seen other little prams wobbling around all over the place! Basket was plenty big enough for either a baby backpack or bag of groceries . Things I’d recommend purchasing to add on: adult cup / drink bottle holder, phone holder( for hands free chats & podcasts). I did not need a bassinet as it lays really flat. I didn’t need parent facing and I liked that LO got to see sights / nature instead, LO never minded. I loved to walk and go to parks, reserves etc so it was a good pram for active lifestyle and parents who don’t want to carry the kitchen sink and want something that grows with bub, and rides smooth on all terrain.
I want to give them 5 stars but – So this pram has some amazing qualities, the steering is great, its an easy pull and fold, the wheels are great, especially living in a rural town where there's dirt, rocky roads etc etc BUT it annoys me sooo much that there is no option to either make the seat reverse OR purchase a seat I can reverse. I feel that baby jogger forget that not… Read more · 1
everyone lives in a city where the sun is blocked out by huge buildings, there are times when I go for walks and it would be amazing to not use the capsule and have a seat that was reversible for these times, plus when its dusty etc or when your baby is fussy and just wants to be able to see you. Even if they just had a universal adapter so I could purchase a different brand of seating or make a 2 in 1 bassient!! Its also super annoying that they don't make suncovers to fit all their prams. I purchased the 10th anniversary edition and its also disappointing that I missed out on the adjustable calf support. I want to fully love this pram but I feel that Baby Jogger havent thought out their products 100%, there's alot in the market they are missing!
Awesome pram for an active bushwalker :) – This pram had been a lifesaver for am active family like us. It handles well at smooth surface at the shops and does wonder on rough terrains as well! I've got the Mini GT for my third bub, and I now wish I had bought it for my first and second as well! It's not overly expensive for such luxury and comfort, but also doesn't look and feel tacky. My… Read more
little one is now one year old and we've still got a lot of spaces on there! We have been taking the pram on our regular weekend walk as well as on more difficult terrains such as the Wilson Prom, the Grampians, the Otways etc. My oldest 10yo loves pushing his younger brother as it's so light and easy to steer. I do have an issue with the basket the as it's so hard to access and you can't fit a lot in there. Being a lighter pram also doesn't allow you to hang too much weights on the handle, so you do have to get a shopping trolley if you're grocery shopping and that. All in all, an awesome pram that meets our needs and we are happy with it, a year on :)

A ‘go anywhere’ pram – This is a great pram! I got one for my first child and clocked up 100kms on it, walking on all terrains. This oran will go anywhere just about! It lasted my child until 3years old and then when my next child came along, I’ve used it for them! I also really like the one-fold technique…no tricky folding steps with this one. Just pull the level… Read more · 1
and it collapses in half! Excellent canopy as well, with a window so you can keep an eye on baby. My 8 week old likes it. This pram is about 4 years old with many km’s on it and ready for round two with this baby. Definently lasting a long time!
Sturdy but not for us – Pros - sturdy - would definitely last years Cons - you don’t know what you’ll need until you have a baby and I realised that your baby needs to face you for the 1st year, they feel safer and happier that way. My baby complains the entire time we’re on walks as she’s too big for the capsule but doesn’t want to be looking away from me. - toddlers… Read more
can’t fully sit up; they are always reclined a little. The strap that adjusts the seat recline is so annoying; we pull and pull at it to try get it even an inch straighter - changing to a buggy with a bar - can’t fit a nappy bag underneath. You have to squeeze and pull it in and out - Difficult to put in and out of car on your own
We’ve bought a new buggy because the cons are just getting increasingly more annoying. All my mum friends have the Edwards and Co and that literally has everything.
Terrible buckle – The sliding feature of the buckle is useless when dealing with a screaming and squirming baby. Always snaps undone. While other aspects of the pram are great, this feature makes me hate using it. Show details
Good design except one-handed fold doesn't work – It's a good design and rolls and steers really nicely, good park brake (replaced under warranty, no fuss) and shade visor too, but the back panel has jammed into such a position that it needs to be pushed over the main folding hinge manually every time I fold it. So it's now a TWO-handed fold which means you can never hold the baby and fold the… Read more
pram at the same time. So the pram's best feature kinda died. I took it back to the retailer during the warranty period but they rang the company and got a "she'll be right" as they manually popped the back panel over the main folding hinge. I can do that myself quite easily, with TWO hands, every time (and I do, every time) but I'd prefer the one-handed fold mechanism to be reliable.
Excellent and easy to use – This is my first pram which came highly recommended by other mums. Great to use, easy to get in and out of house/car after a caesar. Baby is very happy in it. Can walk or jog and its great on all ground types. It’s made my life a lot easier. Show details · 1
Wanted to love this but – We bought this for our 6 month old as I wanted to wait to purchase a three wheeler until he was a bit bigger. I was previously using a 2nd hand uppababy Cruz. This is definitely an easier handling pram with one finger steering etc. And it does uneven terrain (sand etc) better, however the bottom bar near back wheels I often find myself banging my… Read more
foot into when walking. The basket is troublesome to access and not very functional. Surprisingly I find the pram quite difficult to get into and out of car, it’s more awkward that the uppababy despite being slightly lighter. I often walk holding my dogs lead in one hand and as soon as that hand gets pulled by the dog the pram does also start to tip. I’m a bit disappointed given I thought I had researched this purchase well. It’s not all bad, my son is very comfortable in the pram and I do appreciate the different “peek” windows in canopy.
Greeeat pram! – We love this pram because it is so confortable for our toddler since he was born, I only got a head support and made a cover to make him feel comfortable and snug, I removed them as he grew, he is able to climb on and off, the hood covers him from the sun and cold whenever he needs it, the wheels are all terrain and you can Remove them so easily in case you have a small car as I do, love this pram!!

I love this pram - affordable and stylish – We were in the market for an affordable mid range pram and this one is great. I was sold the minute I found it could fold up using just one hand! And it’s so easy to steer, it can be turned with just one finger! Very comfortable for my son - lays all the way back so he could lie down when he was newborn means no bassinet attachment was needed, and… Read more
adjusts to sitting up very easily now he’s bigger! Stylish, reasonably priced, it’s a very good looking pram.
There are just 2 things I would change: 1. The way the wheels are and the way it’s weighted, it can overbalance and fall backwards if there is weight put on the back handle bar of the pram. You cannot hang bags from the back handlebar. 2. The bag room in the bottom of the pram is limited. This wasn’t a prob for me however if you have purchased a large nappy bag I would suggest checking it fits underneath before you buy.
But I truly do love it and would purchase this pram again in a heartbeat.
If you have a large nappy bag or intend to use it for shopping, this pram may not be right for you – We have the City Mini GT 10th anniversary edition. The wheels, suspension and one step collapse are really strong plus points. Bub is comfortable in the seat. A material drawback is the the lack of adequate storage (small basket) which is tough to get to because of a metal bar. This is compounded by the weight distribution of the pram, such that… Read more
any backwards pressure does cause it to topple. The usability, of the pram therefore, for our needs - is poor.

So disappointed – The storage basket is tiny and not to mention the latest model of the pram has a metal bar above the basket making it even harder to fit my nappy bag in the storage basket. I cant hang anything off the handle bar as the entire pram tips over. I cant believe these issues werent picked up during the design process. I paid $799 for the pram and… Read more
further $200 trying to resolve the storage issues to no avail.Only good thing about the pram is the one hand fold system.
The best! – My husband and I were after a pram that we could use from newborn until toddler. It also had to be a one piece fold down as both of us couldnt be bothered pulling apart a pram in order to get it in our car. Its a one handed fold down and so easy! we were going to have a tall baby we knew other brands would be grown out of by 8mths so we needed… Read more · 1
something to last. the city mini gt ticked all our boxes. I love how its smooth to push on any terrain and the wheels can take a beating on any surface. I love how the back of the canopy opens up so on hot QLD days there is much needed airflow on my reclining baby. I love how low the sun canopy goes and that its SPF50. I find the basket underneath very generous and fits my stuff easily. I love my baby jogger!!
Love it!! – LOVE the one handed fold up capability of this pram!! So easy to get out and pack away. Also lighter than many other prams which was a big thing for me. Good pram that covers everything you need. Used it with the capsule in the beginning and was easy and definitely worth it. Would have been 5 stars if it just had a slightly bigger opening to the… Read more · 1
storage basket underneath (have to put my nappy bag in from the side) and a couple more Velcro air ventilation spots, but not enough to get anything else. Will definitely be continuing to use it for future children!!
Love the quick fold function – We have the 3 wheeler model and its so easy to get in and out the car, saves time for getting my son in and out the car, and it lays almost flat, so he can easily sleep. He is only 18m but I can see us using this pram for a very long time, plus it still looks brand new Show details · 1
New canopy? – Hi! Where can I purchase a new sun canopy for my City Mini GT? Ours is 5 years old and still going strong, I am just having colour choice regret. Show details · 1
Great size pram and so practical – I am so glad I bought this City Mini GT. The size is perfect, not too big but not too small. With the 3 wheels, it is so easy to push and turn, also great for jogging, one of the reason I bought this pram. The basket at the bottom is big enough to put a shopping bag and the pram fits well in restaurants and other places because it is not too wide.… Read more · 1
It also fits well in the car without taking the whole space in the boot. I like the easy adjusting seat, we can put it up or the whole way down when baby has a nap. Easy to fold. Just a very practical pram and I wouldn't change it!
Perfect pram and great compact size – I love this pram. Had another more expensive brand which looked nice but was a pain to push over bumby terrain. The 3 Wheel design works so well over all terrain and is super easy to turn corners in tight space. Very well made and strong with big storage underneath perfect for a trip to our local market. Also folds up compactly. Show details
Good pram but the basket is so annoying – Pram good points: drives beautifully. Handles all terrain well. Great canopy. Seat is nice and roomy, Great for older toddlers too. Awesome fold. A good fuss free pram...but... The basket kills me with this pram rough. I've had it twice... Trying to love it. There is not really any good access to it and I felt like I was always struggling with my… Read more
things underneath to get them in and out which in the end became a deal breaker. They have recently re launched this pram but did not address the basket... Such a same shame!

The best pram ive ever owned! – Absolutely love this pram. So easy to push one handed. Also easy to fold one handed whilst holding baby. Glides along with ease even up gutters. Pram is great on both smooth and rough surfaces with the ability to lock the front wheel if walking on gravel. Comfy ride for baby with great suspension and handling. My 3yo falls asleep in this pram she absolutely loves it never wants to get out! Show details

Love it! – Love this pram. I have used it for both my daughters. I first purchased it back in 2013 ad it is still going strong. Great storage at the bottom, smooth to push, easy to pack away and easy to clean. My husband who is a left arm amputee doesn't have any issues opening and closing it. Highly recommend. If you are wanting to run, I would upgrade to the next model however this one is great to walk with. Show details · 1
Great pram for everyday! – I love this pram! It’s so smooth to push on any surface and doesn’t jolt and bump on tougher surfaces. My daughter loves going for walks in this pram and more often then not falls asleep comfortably. It’s easy to fold even one handed, and nice and compact. Show details
Lightweight, easy to fold up and use in general – This is my first buggy and its perfect! Easy to fold up with one hand, not to heavy yet very sturdy in structure The harness is easy to use and makes baby nice and secure especially if going over the bumpy ground. Love the range of colours we got indigo blue and it washes really well, is baby food is spilt on it or vomit, just wipes off. Great carry try underneath can fit a good amount of stuff in there. Show details
Great for Walking! – We have 2 prams as we were given one to use with a capsule but the City Jogger is by far the better pram. It’s so easy to manoeuvre and nice and light weight. We are so glad we went with this pram for over some other more expensive ones! Show details
Best pram! – I worked as a nanny for a number of years so when I was pregnant I knew exactly what pram I wanted. I love this pram so much. I tell all my expecting friends it’s the only one worth getting! Show details · 1
Black bar restricting access to basket on GT2?? – So disappointed in the new GT2 version of the City Mini. They have added a huge black bar across the bottom massively restricting access to the basket! Why?? I was borrowing a friends original GT which I loved so decided to buy my own which they recently updated to the GT2. So disappointed as the big basket was a huge selling point for me. I’m… Read more · 2
going to return the GT2 and get the original. EDIT: BIG (bashful) EDIT. I used my GT2 for another week and have found the bar to be no problem at all. I can easily put things in the basket via the sides or under the bar. Fab! Something else I love is the canopy has 2 heights so my very tall 5 year old can fit while I baby wear my bub on long days out. She’s delighted! The added foot rest is so great on these days too. Amazing pram! I’ve edited from 2 to 5 stars
Not perfect, but great value for money – We looked at so many prams when researching on the internet, in stores, and in baby shows, to find and find the 'perfect' one. There was no perfect pram. Usually, they are too big, too heavy, or too expensive. Many reviews just kept coming back to this Baby Jogger, so it was what we went with. 10 months in, and we still love it. For the first 5-6… Read more
months, we had bought a second-hand bassinet which was easy to attach to the pram. A little heavy, yes, but worked well. Easy to connect and disconnect, and covered up well. Now that Baby is a bit older, the bassinet is in storage and we still love the pram. It's easy to fold up, and put in the back of most boots. I have a small car, and for that, I just need to take a wheel off, which is easy enough, and it stores well. It's not a problem to fit in a medium-sized boot. We even brought it overseas and stored it in a suitcase (took wheels off), so it was protected well! The build quality I believe is great, and very solid. The wheels are big so it's very good on concrete or even some light bumps. You wouldn't take this running, or you wouldn't take this on all-terrains, but for everyday use, I have no complaints 10 months in. My main day-to-day gripe is because of the back wheels, sometimes reversing and turning whilst reversing in tight spaces in shopping centres is a bit difficult, but that's nit-picking. The other thing is probably that basket-space is not enormous at all, so something to consider for those that find this important. You find yourself trying to squeeze some shopping/baby stuff underneath. For me though, considering we were looking at some prams that were $1000+ with the features we were after, and we found one for <$500 that does a magnificent job, I can't really complain that much.
Good for the price – Pros: Quick easy fold Compact fold Light Manoeuvrable with ability to lock or unlock front wheel easily Medium basket Reclines well and good ventilation with recline (and a wind cover if ventilation is not needed) All terrain capable (see cons for more on this however) with reasonably large wheels Great accessories, the rain cover is amazing!… Read more · 1
Even in heavy rain my baby stayed completely dry, the console is practical too Mid range price
Cons: Only forward facing (you can get a bassinet but there is no option to turn the seat) Stiff suspension, this means it is easy for the driver but very bumpy for the baby if you’re actually going off trail. I would say this is a city pram, good for tootling around the shops but capable of going further.. if you intend to use it a lot in suburbia on/off curbs or off road I’d consider a buggy with more advanced suspension and ideally a tilt in space seat rather than recline Whilst the basket is an okay size it’s hard to get to and ours even tore a bit on the side within 2 months of use Our console also has a rip after only 2 months of use.. which leads me to think the quality of the materials used is below par
Love it! Almost perfect! – It is such a perfect pram for inner city living! Perfect for walks, catching public transport, jogging/running - even though they say it's not a "running" pram- it's excellent & smooth when you lock the front wheel! It is SO easy to fold, get in/out of the car, my friends can never believe how quickly I get our stuff out of the car & we're ready… Read more
to go! It is sturdy, adjustable handle AND the handle isn't that gross foam one the Bob stroller has...it would get so dirty & sweaty! This is a nice grippy rubber handle. Only reason I gave it a 4 is the BASKET SPACE! Because we do shop on foot alot it is just an annoyingly small basket space to get bags in & out of (and constantly getting snacks/water/hat/crap out of is annoying because of the back bar in the way!!) So the only way it to hang bags off the handlebar when shopping...but otherwise, perfect pram!
Great value and reliable pram – When looking at buying a pram for our first child, I had no idea how expensive these things were. I was shocked at how expensive some the brands were. So when I came across this I was delighted. Especially since it had pretty good reviews, and ticked many of my requirements. Price: Amazon had a deal that sold this for $375, which is much cheaper… Read more
than some of the second prams.
Baby size range: from new born onwards. Although I was able to get a secondhand babyjogger deluxe bassinet and am able to comfortably transport my precious with minimal interruptions (especially from all those pesky straps).
Weight: not the lightest pram. The lighter prams that weren’t exorbitantly priced looked like an OH&S hazard. So I don’t mind the weight considering the sense (cos I havne’t really pushed it the limits) of durability, which this pram offers.
Flexibility: The pram folds and unfolds fairly easily. Although locking mechanism can be improved as it can be easily overlooked and may open up when you don’t want it to. In fact I chipped the floorboard when unfolding cos it snapped open. With the bassinet we don’t have much space in the boot of our hatchback. Fortunately the wheels easily snap off and on making it easy to pack it.
So easy to use and comparable in price, just lacking some finer points – For anyone who is usually in a rush, this is a great pram. Because setting up the pram to use literally involves undoing one side clip (and putting it away for storage involves pulling one handle) it is incredibly time efficient and low maintenance. It is also quite comparable in price to a lot of the other prams of similar quality. It is well… Read more
made and structurally sound, and one important feature is the large diameter of the wheels, which means a less bumpy ride for your baby. It is versatile as you can attach adapters which allows to you connect capsules (even from other brands). On the downside, the back of the seating area is simply one flat surface (that you can change the angles of), which means that it does not cradle your baby at all. For toddlers this is not a massive problem but for smaller kids they seem to slide around on the surface (even if the belts are tightened). Also, although the cover reaches quite far forward, there is still a very large opening at the front, where if walking against the wind, it becomes a wind tunnel. One major selling point is that this pram is also one of the lighter prams available (weighing approximately 9kg). However, speaking from personal experience only, 9kg can be quite heavy to haul into and out of the car multiple times a day. Although other prams may weigh more in total, they can be taken apart and assembled for use, which means lighter pieces to lift overall (however they are less efficient). The bottom line is that is pram is incredibly functional for the price, however the affordability is unfortunately compensated for by lacking the trimmings that other prams have.
Comfortable and Practical – I've owned this strolled for over 2 years (from infant to toddler) and it's still in great condition. We use it nearly everyday. It's easy to clean and the fabric is surprisingly still in great condition. Show details
First baby with this pram and it does not disappoint! – With our first baby we decided to have a few features in mind - safety, ease of use, and portability. And it does not disappoint! It is light-weight and easy to fold up with a single action, making it easy to store/transfer with one hand. It is easy to steer, and we have travelled with this pram for more than 100kms (!) of walking around the… Read more
world with our baby in it in different terrains - and it hasn't got a loose screw anywhere!
The only gripe is the linen/cover needs a bit of effort to be removed for cleaning in the washing machine, which is not described in the manual but easily found online.
We will be saving this for our second baby and going to relive the joy of travelling again!
