FEATURES
4 out of 5 points
The Baby Jogger City Elite is narrow and can fit in small places. It is easy for anyone to push including elderly grand parents. It is equipped with a universal accessory mounting bracket to attach the many accessories available separately. The sun canopy comes with magnetic closures and you can always watch baby through the clear windows in the canopy. Included is the handlebar parent consol with 6 pockets and a raised kicker footrest for small children. The wheels are all 18 inches making for a smooth ride. The sun canopy is very large and covers your child to the feet. It is also constructed so that a taller toddler will fit in the stroller without hitting their head.

The Baby Jogger city Elite is equipped with a padded 5 point safety harness and has a parking brake that locks both back tires. Parents will have the ability to lock the front wheel to make it safer on uneven terrain.
MANUEVERABILITY AND RIDE
4 out of 5 points
This stroller has wider wheels making it much easier to push on stable or uneven ground; We appreciated the maneuverability of the City Elite. The front swivel wheel allows for more freedom of movement than in fixed-wheel strollers.
COMFORT
5 out of 5 points
The comfortable deeply padded seat of the Baby Jogger City Elite reclines and can be adjusted with just one hand. Mom and Dad’s comfort is also addressed as this Baby Jogger has adjustable height handles that fit either short or tall.
DURABILITY
4 out of 5 points
The City Elite is made of heavy-duty aluminum and long lasting fabric. We believe it will last a long time and is a solid candidate for a used stroller.
WEIGHT AND FOLDING
4 out of 5 points

The City Elite has a large storage basket beneath the seat and one behind and above the seat as well. The basket underneath is accessible from all sides, which is very convenient in everyday use.
EASE OF CLEANING

LOOKS AND STYLE

The sun canopy is a little different on the Baby Jogger City Elite stroller as it is a bubble canopy and looks a little rounder. It is smart looking with canopy up or down and comes in five different colors and designer fabrics.
