Baby Jogger City Mini
The City Mini is a full-size stroller that doesn't make a statement in any way, except that it's extremely light and compact when folded. It also ranks well in all our categories.

Another fantastic characteristic of the City Mini is that it is able to be converted into double strollers by attaching an add-on kit. This gives you the option of using any Baby Jogger car seat and creating an entire travel system from the start.
