3.0 out of 5 stars
Really want to give it 5 stars but ...., October 13, 2009
We bought the City Micro so that we didn't have to take our over-sized Bob on a trip to Europe. Had high hopes, as the original Citi Mini was a close contender in the first stroller purchase (when we still had aspirations of not becoming a 3-stroller family). In so many ways this is an awesome little stroller, and a great complement to the Bob, but there are a few oversights that means it comes up short of perfect.
The good: brilliant one-handed easy folding and easier handling when folded than traditional umbrella strollers; easy steering; seems to be comfy for the babe; and as far as I can tell completely removable fabric that can be washed (but don't quote me on that).
The bad: the base bar that is perfectly positioned to be kicked when you walk too close, i.e, with arms bent comfortably (this from the makers of the original jogger stroller! If I'd been able to really test run the Micro in the wild, this probably would have been a deal breaker); at 16lbs, is not exactly lightweight; insufficient sun shade (why, why?? I don't get this -it's a real need, and a common complaint of many strollers); a handle that is perfectly positioned for my tall husband, but too high for me, a short woman (5'1").
Admittedly I was wooed by the groovy apple green color and its overall good looks. And in many ways this stroller really rocks. Just not so much for me. So this will do for our trip, but I expect to sell it on Craig's list when we get back. Too bad ... it was really close.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Love the fold/storage, December 29, 2009
Being a stroller junkie, this was to be my last stroller purchase. After our Plinko lite tore in the seat and wouldn't fold completely anymore from years of use and impatient airline staff handling, I was on the hunt for one last stroller to fit our needs. Our 33 pound 4 year old still tires after all day walking events like Disneyland or Legoland and Daddy can only carry her on his shoulder for so long. We had rented the strollers at Disneyland and liked them...Baby Jogger.. so I thought I'd check them out. I couldn't justify spending a lot on a stroller for a preschooler who will use it probably only another year or so, so went with the micro. We've taken it to Disneyland (via plane) so far, and it has saved the day with the nieces and nephews at other times. We stayed at a hotel across from Disney and our 4 year old stayed comfy and happy as we trekked for 5 days. We even could push our 7 year old (50 lbs) when he pooped out once on the walk back to the hotel. The steering is great, fold is ingenious, and is very portable. Yes, the storage net is small and the shade isn't huge. After owning Graco, Britax, Plinko, and others umbrellas, this stroller gets high marks in steering and folding. It's not the lightest, but because it folds so slim, it makes toting it around a breeze.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Flat fold and light, March 7, 2010
This is a great light stroller. We have 2 full size joggers that are heavy and hard to get in vehicles, but are obviously good for jogging and rough terrain. This one is great for walking, malls, basically an everyday stroller. It folds easy...I can fold it one handed while holding our 35# two year old on my hip. He loves it. He can get in and out of it all on his own. It does not have a full recline, but believe me it reclines enough for a 1yr old and up. We added the child's tray which is a great purchase. It pushes with ease. For the price I think this is a great find!
