About
What it is.
Baby Jogger's City Tour 2 is a lightweight, ultra-compact travel stroller built within the brand's City lineup for parents navigating airports, transit, and tight city living. Its one-hand fold and included carry bag address the fold-and-go part of the job, while infant car seat and carrycot compatibility extend it to newborn use, alongside toddler riding, without needing a separate travel system.
The padded seat with added depth, adjustable calf support, near-flat recline, and UV-rated canopy round out the everyday comfort features, and the rubber composite tires with locking, suspension-equipped front swivel wheels keep the ride steady on pavement. It suits frequent flyers and city dwellers wanting light, grab-and-go gear more than families needing a large storage basket, rough-terrain capability, or long-term room for taller kids.
The verdict
The City Tour 2 excels as a lightweight, compact travel stroller that ranks #1 among AI panels, though its 4.4/5 buyer rating masks durability concerns—owners report broken wheels, torn fabric, and canopy failures alongside sparse spare parts availability. Best suited for buyers prioritizing simplicity and portability over long-term durability.

Who reviewers think this product is — and isn’t — for
For you if
Look elsewhere if
You need a stroller that works straight out of the box with minimal fuss.
One-hand fold praised as genuinely easy, full recline from newborn, smooth steering on flat surfaces; reviewers highlight it as straightforward to use daily.
You want a proven stroller from an established brand with broad owner consensus.
Baby Jogger is a mature brand, 568 ratings show strong consensus, and the City Tour 2 is a settled product with clear strengths and known trade-offs.
You want a capable travel stroller without overspending on features you won't use.
Mid-range price with strong 4.4/5 rating and genuine travel-focused design; lacks premium markup but smaller basket and seat length limit long-term value for growing kids.
You're looking for a stroller that excels across every dimension of quality and design.
Well-engineered with praised build and smooth handling, but safety/stability and spare parts availability score low, and basket/seat limitations are recurring gripes.
You appreciate thoughtful design and want a stroller that delights beyond basic function.
Praised for engineering and smooth handling, but noisy Velcro canopy and utilitarian aesthetic lack the sensory polish or passionate design following enthusiasts seek. Consider Butterfly.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is the City Tour 2 actually easy to fold?
Reviewers confirm the one-hand fold mechanism is genuinely easy to use. The stroller folds down to a compact, travel-friendly size, though the fold does have some internal complexity that could potentially cause issues over time.
Can a newborn use this stroller?
Yes. The City Tour 2 has a full recline and adjustable leg rest that make it usable from newborn age, so it can work as both a travel stroller and early-infant carrier.
What is the main downside?
The under-seat basket is small and hard to access, especially when the seat is reclined. The seat is also short, so it may not suit taller kids comfortably for long trips. Some reviewers note the canopy coverage is limited and the peekaboo window uses noisy Velcro.
Who should buy the City Tour 2?
It is best for frequent flyers and city dwellers who want a light, compact everyday stroller that can also work as newborn-capable travel gear. It is not for parents who need a large storage basket, all-terrain capability, or a stroller that comfortably fits taller kids long-term.
How does it handle on different surfaces?
Reviewers say it handles well and steers smoothly on flat, smooth surfaces. It is not designed for all-terrain use.
Is there anything reviewers disagree on?
Reviewers differ on overall comfort and folding performance—one emphasizes maneuverability and a quiet ride as standout strengths, while another rates kid comfort and folding only average. Carry-on compliance is described as reliable by some reviewers but flagged as inconsistent across airlines by others.
