Baby Jogger City Mini GT3 All Terrain Stroller (Frosted Ivory)

I was really hoping I would be happy with this stroller but it’s terrible. My toddler can easily get his arms out if the top straps. The back of it moves allowing him to move his torso forward. The strap height moves. The worst part is the buckle that connects the hip and torso doesn’t stay so that means just about every time I have connect this stupid part on both sides before is can connect them to the center magnetic buckle. Umm I have a wild toddler it makes it extremely difficult to buckle I was hoping the magnetic buckle would make it super easy but nope, the connector piece is really tin and it has to slide through, this was a huge oversight on the design, and there is zero reason to have it so it can just slide apart every time. I would not recommend this stroller at all. This is our third kid, we’ve had so many strollers over the years, I’m really disappointed.

Got this stroller a couple days ago and love everything about it ❤️ I love the color and all the family friendly features it has! The stroller glides so smooth and my baby girl loves to be in it!

From the rich teal color of the soft fabrics to the thoughtful features, this is a well-made and luxurious feel stroller. There are many features that I find very helpful, such as the easy-to-use magnetic buckles and adjustable leatherette handle which feels great in my hands. The handle and harness were easy to adjust and accommodated different heights between myself and my husband as well as my kiddos. The large canopy provides ample shade. I also appreciate all the peekaboo windows, and the magnetic closures, which made operation easy peasy. One of the easiest features to use is the one handed folding. Also, the stroller is light enough to make carrying easy during outings. The large storage basket is also a plus. I also like how you can push one side down to get things in and out of the basket easier. The stroller handled the road and grass well, providing a smooth ride for the little ones. I haven’t been able to take it on a walking trail yet. I was a little hesitant at first with it being a three-wheel stroller. I had one in the past, and the front wheel kept locking up on me when turning, causing extreme frustration. However, I have not had that problem with this stroller. When not in use, storage is made more convenient with the self-standing feature. However, it did take me a minute to realize that the handle does need to be fully extended for the stroller to stand on its own. I also think that a storage bag of some sort would be a nice accessory to add. Overall, this is a nice stroller and does include some useful features. However, for the price-point, I do feel like it is missing some key accessories, such as snack tray and a parent cup holder. The stroller doesn’t even come with the belly bar and must be purchased separately. Thank you Stellar Review for proving me the City Mini GT3 stroller to test.

I have to say I was very pleased with this stroller. Literally, right out of the box I was able to lift it easily with one hand. A simple flip of the latch, easy pop on wheels that securely lock without trying to find a screw driver and remind myself to “righty tighty, lefty loosey” for hours. I had this baby ready to roll in a matter of minutes. My absolute favorite thing is the adjustable handle bar that’s a TRUE height adjustment. Not just a flip of the position, that’s how we ended up stroller shopping in the first place. Hehe. I’m 5’5 but I have long legs and arms so I’d say this is tall girlie (and guys) approved for sure! The front wheel lock is an easy click of a button so great for an impromptu jog. But let’s get into this magnetic buckle…Game changer! I need everything this easy, car seat, high chair, etc. Someone definitely designed this for the moms desperately trying to get a screaming toddler strapped in who missed nap time. Other favorite features was the basket was large enough to fit all the essential toys my toddler needs every outing. As well as a back pocket perfect for holding those cherished stuffies. I also really like the fabric used on the stroller visor. It is nice and thick material not a flimsy plastic. Think quality drapes. This is it, but with plenty of ventilation. Overall I am super pleased with this jogger. I received this as a part of a Stellar Product testing panel but definitely will be putting this on the list for my best friend who is expecting. It is worth every penny!

Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me the Citi Mini GT3 Stroller to try. As a homeschool mom of two boys 5 and 2 we love being outside but I often found it hard to get out as much as we wanted trying to wrangler both of them. This stroller was a pleasant addition this spring and got us outside more as I was able to push my youngest while jogging and my oldest could ride his bike alongside us. It was light and smooth to jog with on well maintained jogging paths and the basket was big enough to carry three water bottles, snacks, and a small diaper bag for necessities. It handled better on dirt paths than I had expected and I was able to push it on simple hiking trails to carrying out stuff and get the youngest back when he got tired. It is extremely well made of high quality material and is very comfortable for my son. The reclining feature is especially nice when he needs to nap on longer adventures for my older son. The magnetic bent flaps where a simple yet very effective creature to keep everyone comfortable and allow for monitoring of sleeping children easily. Usually my biggest hang-up with kids products is keeping them cleaned and being able to adjust them. The Citi Mini was so easy to use that both my husband and myself could adjust all aspects of it and fold it done without needing the directions. I didn't need them but it does come with attachments for a carseat to be secured to it for smaller children so could be a growth with them product also.

The City Mini GT3 was a great addition for our family to use. It folds up super easy with one hand and is compact, allowing for your trunk space to have plenty of room left for whatever else you need to bring with you. I liked that the handle height is able to be changed (great for my use and when my husband uses it!). Our youngest seemed comfy enough in it and naps have been plentiful when they are in it for our walks. The wheels navigate most areas well except the weird sand part that the local zoo has near an exhibit section. Cons: no snack/drink tray that comes with it. The foot rest section doesn’t adjust. Wheels worked well for most terrain except super bumpy sidewalks and sandy spots. Pros: folds up to a very manageable size, adjustable handle, good cargo space for snacks and drinks and other items, easy set up, and I really liked the magnetic parts for the shade - no Velcro snagging here!

I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and let me tell you, boy am I sure glad I did. This stroller is amazing! I have also been a Baby Jogger fan; in fact, when my oldest was born seven years ago, I received the City Mini GT travel system. Baby Jogger appears to have added updates over the years, and this GT3 is a game changer. One of my favorite features is the self-standing fold. All of my other strollers plop onto the ground once folded. Not this one! It stands up right without falling over after folding it. And, by the way, the fold is still an extremely quick and easy one-handed fold. Folding the stroller literally takes one second. The other conveniences of this stroller are also instrumental. The storage basket is really large, which seriously comes in handy when you have multiple kids like I do. I can fit my entire, full sized diaper bag backpack in the storage basket, and then I can even add more by sticking in water bottles, sweatshirts, etc., in the remaining space surrounding the diaper bag. Also, we attend many functions that require maneuvering the stroller over grass and gravel. Some strollers absolutely cannot handle this, but the City Mini GT3 can do so every easily thanks to the all terrain wheels. These are not the cheap plastic wheels you see on many strollers. The wheels on this stroller are more similar to the material of bike tires and really can navigate multiple terrain easily. If you can’t already tell, I highly recommend this stroller. My children have transitioned through a variety of Baby Jogger products as they have aged, and they never disappoint.

I will start by saying, I’m a bit of a stroller snob. I have two little ones, a 2 yr old a 4 yr old, both of which regularly use a stroller for anything more than a block long walk. Over the years, I’ve owned close to a dozen strollers for them, including other Baby Jogger ones. Upon unboxing, my initial thoughts were that it feels sturdy, I love the color combo of the brown leather and the teal shade and assembly is a snap, just popping the wheels in. My 2 yr old wanted to test it out right away so she hopped right in. The straps are a little difficult to move to higher notches, but comparable to most strollers - nothing innovative here, but also no unwelcome surprises. The magnetic closure is pretty neat because it ensures you’ll never pinch your child’s skin in the harness, which, unfortunately, I’ve experienced. The straps themselves are also super soft. That being said, because I have slightly older children, we rarely use harnesses at this age - they both enjoy getting in and out on our walks. So, I removed the top harness straps for her, so they weren’t digging into her back. I put them in the little mesh storage compartment on the seat’s back, so they don’t get lost. Then, her and I were off! It has a great push, which I’ve come to expect with BabyJogger strollers and, despite being three wheels, it’s stable. I have some jogging style strollers that are really tippy and can be hard to correct - which hasn’t been an issue with this one. This can also be the case when kids are climbing in and out, but I haven’t experienced that with the City Mini GT3. I live in the city, so we primarily walk on paved sidewalks and some grassy areas, but we aren’t necessarily in a rugged terrain. I was happy with how the stroller handled, specifically how it reacts to uneven sidewalk cracks. It does pretty good and my kids didn’t seem phased when we hit a bump, which they sometimes are. The basket can hold all our library books and some snacks, while providing easy access to the contents. My only concern is the 25 lb weight limit, which sounds reasonable, but kid’s stuff piles up fast. I love how easy the City Mini GT3 is to fold, you just pull up on the seat’s strap and it snaps shut, like a pack and play. It’s feasible with one hand! Additionally, there are no buttons to push or locks to engage, which is great! Speaking of locks, the GT3’s locking mechanism is easy to engage and disengage, while remaining secure during locked times. I could disengage it in bare feet, which I can’t do with a lot of my strollers because they work so hard. It also stores upright, which can be handy for sliding into tighter storage spaces and vehicles, while feeling a little more sanitary. Just remember to lock the wheels before you close it. However, my favorite feature is the adjustable foot rest. My kids typically like to sit with their feet straight out in front of them, not below them and the GT3 allows for that. It has a small bar that pops into a lock that holds the foot area upright. That, combined with the ability to lay them nearly flat, makes it an ideal napping stroller. The back rest is a breeze to use, a tab reclines the seat and to put it upright, you just push the seat back up, which is pretty slick. The seat also seems really comfortable and nap inducing, soft with some added plushness. However, I’m uncertain of its washability because the manual doesn’t explicitly say which fabric parts are washable, but instead says to check tags on the stroller. I’d also be nervous to put it back together. I struggle when I have to wash my car seats and those manuals give very explicit instructions on how to put them back together. Another of my “must have” features was lacking as well - there isn’t a cup holder or significant storage for the caregiver. That was definitely disappointing to see, since I would love a spot for my travel coffee mug on our morning walks. The handlebar, while luxe in feel and aesthetic, didn’t adjust as much as I would have liked. The lowest setting still felt a little high for my 5’6” frame, but my long legs bumped into the brake bar a bit when we walked. I wish there was a tilt on the bar in addition to height. In conclusion, the City Mini GT3 is a great stroller and I’ll definitely be using it as my everyday stroller going forward. Since receiving it, my 2 yr old and I have used it for most of our walks, but even my 4 yr old fits comfortably in it, per the photo. I can see the GT3 getting a lot of miles and longevity in our home! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.
