6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.I don't even want to tell you how much I've spent trying to find a stroller that worked for our baby and our lifestyle. I researched hours and hours online, read every review, and tested strollers in person. I originally purchased a Baby Jogger City Mini GT because our neighborhood is rural and the road is very bumpy. The all-terrain aspect of the GT is great, and for walks and hikes I think it's wonderful. However, I found it cumbersome when shopping. I had a difficult time judging its length in narrow aisles and since I couldn't see the third wheel out front, I was forever running it into things. The basket was pitifully small and almost useless. And hanging my diapers bag on the handle resulted in the entire thing tipping backward when I took my baby out. NOT a good errands or shopping stroller. Plus my baby wanted to see me, and she couldn't in the GT.We also have a Chicco snap n go that I love love loved (huge basket! Great console! No tipping!), but our baby hated her bucket seat and we scrapped it for a converetible seat at 3 months. So that ended up at grandmas house as an extra in emergencies.What I needed was something that combined the easy handling and fold of the GT, with the functionality of the snap n go. Initially I looked at the Uppababy Cruz, and after a TON of research, I had decided. Then at the last minute I came across the Versa. There weren't many reviews, and a recent recall made me wary. So I went to a retailer to compare them in person. Side by side, the Cruz and the Versa were almost identical. The only differences were that the uppababy seat was maybe an inch higher, and it was a tad lighter. But the Versa had a lot going for it. A better warranty, better wheels, could fold while parent facing (no other stroller does this!!), could fold with one hand, and was a good $60 cheaper. Sold!My last decision was color. The retailer only had the silver, but I was hoping for something more colorful. The manufacturer photos didn't do the green justice, but I ordered it anyway knowing that if I hated it, I could return it for free. Surprise! It was a great color. Not a forest green like the pictures show, but really more of a classic spring sage green. Love it! And I haven't seen other strollers in this color so it will stand out in the crowd. I highly recommend the City Versa!!Edit: after only one week of ownership, I managed to lose one of the clips that attach the harness strap to the stroller seat. I called BabyJogger and they are sending me a replacement - for free! So easy and helpful. Great customer service!Edit 2: after I received the straps from the company, I called back because they appeared to be wrong. Apparently my stroller had since been redesigned and the straps were no longer available...so they are shipping me a brand new SEAT FABRIC AND STRAPS, completely free! I've never in my life experienced such great customer service from a product. Now I'm not kicking myself so much over the price of this stroller, knowing that if I have issues the company has my back.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.This is my first stroller so I don't have anything to compare it to. That being said, I really like it, but the main downside is that it's heavy; I weighed it and it comes in at 26 pounds. The basket is very large and accessible which is great and because of the weight it is really very sturdy and the push and maneuverability are amazing. I believe it has suspension on all four wheels. Also, it seems like there will be a GT version of this, in my opinion I think the push and maneuverability are already great on this version and the wheels would probably just add to the weight of an already heavy stroller. Additionally, the one handed fold is really just for convenience which is great, but don't expect to fold this while carrying your baby in the other hand, it is just too heavy. As another reviewer has commented the recline is a little sticky and it takes time to get the hang of it. Also, with the seat fully reclined the canopy doesn't have as much coverage as when it is upright since the entire seat tilts back. I use this stroller for my 12.5 pound 2 month old with the uppababy snugseat insert which works great, but sometimes I wonder if the V shape position of the seat is more, or less comfortable at any age for a baby versus a flat recline. Hope my review is helpful in your stroller quest.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful.I can't believe I don't see more of these around, this is such an amazing stroller. I have this stroller in black. I spent hours and hours researching. My requirements were a large parent basket, a generously adjustable handlebar (I'm 5'1 and my husband is 6'1), a reclining feature, a good sun shade and a folded size that would fit reasonably well into my car (aka wheels that aren't as large as those on the Bob or Uppababy strollers). My "nice to have's" were a reversible seat, ease of folding, aesthetics, child weight limit and a magnetic peekaboo window. This stroller has everything.What I love about this stroller:-The size of the parent basket is unlike almost all other strollers. This is my favorite part.-The adjustable handlebar goes really low for me (5'1) and high for my husband (6'1). I also looked at the Uppababy Cruz and the lowest handlebar height was still too high for me.-I love reclining the seat with a handle instead of having the pull cords that other strollers have.-The hood size is generous.-Reversible seat to watch/interact with my baby while we're walking or face him forward and let him look around.-Two peekaboo windows...and they're magnetic!-5 point harness-Folding this stroller is amazing. I don't have to put it on the ground. It took ~ a week to get used to, but you become a pro quickly. And not to mention the fact that you can fold the stroller with the seat facing either way -- this really sold me!-Mesh parent pocket in the back is very handy.-Shocks on wheels.Here are the things I don't love about it:-Heavy-Straps are always getting twisted and therefore difficult to use.-My son's head rests on the buckle-thing at the top of the straps. In a year from now his head may be above the buckle-thing and it won't be a problem, but right now it's on the lowest setting for my 10 month old (and he's actually tall for his age).-The handle to recline the seat is really sticky (but not a big deal, you just get used to how it operates).-I wish the mesh pocket on the back had a zipper or some sort of closure because things that I keep in there fall out if I fold the stroller with them in the mesh pocket (for instance I always like to keep a tube of sunscreen in the mesh pocket).-While the shade is generous, it could use an extra pull out, if even just a fabric piece that is tucked under the last fold (like there is on my Chicco Keyfit 30 infant car seat).Overall, this is the most amazing stroller.
