Baby Jogger City GO 2 Infant Car Seat - Travel System Ready

In this review the Baby Jogger City GO 2 Infant Car Seat is assessed as a practical, travel-ready option for families who want a secure rear-facing seat that integrates smoothly with a stroller system. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of convenient travel-system compatibility and versatile installation: it works with the RAPIDLOCK Base for quick installs, or can be taxi-secured without a base, making it useful from day one for infants 4 to 35 lb and up to 32 in.

Key Features

• Travel system compatibility: Clicks into Baby Jogger strollers so caregivers can move baby from car to stroller without disturbing them.
• RAPIDLOCK Base: The base uses belt-tensioning technology to install in seconds, offering a fast and repeatable vehicle installation.
• Taxi-safe belt path: Allows secure installation without the base, which is convenient for rideshares or taxis.
• SecureStop Anti-Rebound Bar: Provides an added layer of protection in the event of a collision, reducing rebound movement.
• Quiet canopy and adjustable headrest: The one-hand adjustable headrest and quiet canopy help keep baby comfortable and undisturbed while on the go.
• Safety testing: Engineered and crash tested to meet or exceed FMVSS 213 and includes TRUE Test Plus standards for multiple collision types.
