Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Ultra-Compact Travel Stroller - Lightweight

In this review of the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 travel stroller, the bottom line is simple: it is best for parents who need an ultra-light, ultra-compact push option for travel and quick trips. Weighing only 14 lbs with a one-step fold and an included carry bag, the stroller is designed to shrink down for airplane cabins or tight trunks while still offering a nearly flat, padded seat and a large UV 50+ canopy. The review focuses on real-world convenience, showing how the stroller balances portability with comfort for infants and toddlers up to 45 pounds.

Key Features

• Ultra-lightweight: At around 14 lbs, the stroller is easy to lift into trunks, overhead bins, or onto car seats for travel.
• One-step fold with auto-lock: The ultra-compact fold reduces the stroller to a small package that stays closed for simple carrying and storage in the included carry bag.
• Comfortable multi-position seat: The padded seat reclines nearly flat so infants and nappers are supported on long outings.
• UV 50+ canopy with extension panel: A large canopy and peekaboo window shield little ones from sun while letting caregivers check in easily.
• Adjustable calf support: The calf support grows with the child, improving comfort for toddlers on longer walks.
• Travel system compatible: Can be paired with a Baby Jogger infant car seat (sold separately) to carry newborns without upgrading gear.

Who It's For

The City Tour 2 suits frequent travelers, city dwellers and families who value compact gear that tucks away easily. Its 14 lb weight and one-step fold make it ideal for carrying onto planes, navigating crowded sidewalks, and using as a secondary stroller for grandparents or vacation use.

Parents who need heavy-duty all-terrain performance, large storage baskets, or a full-size travel stroller with XXL canopies should look elsewhere; this model prioritizes portability and convenience over cargo capacity and advanced suspension.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Exceptionally light and compact fold makes transport and storage straightforward.
• Comfort features like a nearly flat, padded seat and adjustable calf support help for longer outings.
• Large UV 50+ canopy with peekaboo window provides real sun protection and visibility.
• Includes a carry bag and offers travel system compatibility for newborn use.

Cons

• Limited storage and smaller frame compared with full-size strollers, so less useful as an everyday only stroller for parents who carry lots of gear.
