In this video we take a close look at the Babyjogger City Tour 2, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of its design in relation to comfort, functionality, engineering, longevity and optimal use.

Thank you for reviewing the mechanism of the Tour 2. We bought one 2 weeks ago to replace our Contour Bitsy that was damaged during gate check. I found that being brand new the Tour 2 front wheels rattle a lot and clank very noisily. Is that normal? Is there a way to tighten up something to reduce the noise? The Tour 2 does have very spacious seats and comfy leg rest and it drives nicely. But I found that the folding mechanism very stiff. I’m 5”1 and have small hand. It’s very difficult to trigger the top switch without two hands. It also get stuck a lot when unfolding. It requires a very big “throw” to pop out the stroller which is hard for my stature. It also doesn’t stand when folded, which I didn’t realise it’s so useful and important during travel. At the same weight and a lower price point, our old Contour Bitsy works much better in this regards.

@BarnevognverkstedNo 4 жыл бұрын

The Tour 2 lacks front wheel wobble protection, unfortunately. Use a thick grease, preferrably Biral FIG to lubricate between the forks and the front frame. Silicon spray or WD-40 will help if the folding mechanisms are a bit sticky. I agree with the throw, I'm 6 foot, and it still takes a bit of force to cast it out into a fully upright position. From a mechanics point of view though, I do think these functional minuses are ballanced out by sturdier-than-average engineering, but I suppose I'm biased a bit in this respect from fixing too many shoddily-made strollers over the years :)

Thanks so much for these reviews! I've watched this, and the comparison of the yoyo with the Ergobaby Metro. I'm now debating between the City Tour 2 or the Ergobaby Metro. Thoughts on differences between the two, and which would you recommend as a secondary travel stroller?

@BarnevognverkstedNo 4 жыл бұрын

I personally prefer the City Tour 2 between these two. The Metro seems really good as well, but the engineering is a bit tighter on the Tour, and I also just trust Babyjogger designs a bit more since I've worked on a lot of their strollers, while determining what sort of problems the Metro might eventually develop is still hard at this stage.

@lisaunderwood1486 3 жыл бұрын

I would advice to try them both, I bough the tour 2 and the design doesn't meet my needs, so I will need to do some fixings, to protect my son from falling out as tha canopy and headrest is only open and can be closed by velcro. That's just not going to work for us. And also I will need to buy some extra piece of some art, and keed under the backrest, so can make longer the sleeping position for my 94cm tall boy,as we rely on that when we out and he naps in his stroller, so ways try out and see what you are looking wanting in a stroller

The Minu is better in all of these respects, it's just too large to fit as cabin luggage on 80-90% of airlines. If that's not an important factor for you, and you're looking more for a small-size daily stroller than a travel stroller, then you should also consider checking out the babyjogger city mini gt 2 and the Joolz Hub as well. :)

I would first try some lubrication (wd-40), and trying to pull it open and closed a bit, and press the button some, to try to work the lubrication in around the internal mechanisms. If this doesn't work, you will probably need to disassemble the stroller to find out where the problem is. :)

This seems like a good option but it seems Baby Jogger is not very interested in supporting this product in North America. There are very few accessories available anymore. The only car seat adapter is for Graco. None for Maxi-Cosi/Nuna/Cybex. It's very disappointing. And I read on some forums that there used to be a newborn insert for it as well. Which doesn't seem to exist now either.
