Too small for a newborn
My baby is only about 9 lbs and seems too big for this seat. Where the buckle attaches to the harness, the plastic protrudes into her legs and it's really difficult to snap. I even tried adjusting the buckle but it didn't help. The harness straps constantly twist. She hates it and I'm upset I invested in the system before reading more reviews.

Disappointed
My son is now 6 months, 18lbs and 26 inches long and does not fit into this seat. He is squished and uncomfortable. The seat is extremely hard toclick into the stroller connectors takes a lot of time and effort. I love the stroller, the car seat was a waste of money since I have to purchase a new car seat anyway and right now it’s rough family on my family to do so.

Not too small!! Take out insert!!
There are so many reviews on here saying it’s too small to fit their baby, my sister decided not to buy this carseat based on these reviews. I went back and read them because we don’t have this problem and there are people actually posting photos of their babies that are over the weight limit for the infant insert still using the infant insert so of course their baby would be squished! If you read the manual it says once your baby is passed 12lbs you MUST take out the insert. The head rest also lifts when they grow in height. My baby is 15lbs 14oz and 27in long and fits perfectly still. Read the manual and stop bashing this car seat when you’re not using it right!!

My 11.5lb newborn fit in it fine
Not sure how these small babies are not fitting in the car seat. If they outgrow the insert, take it out. My son had the insert until he was 6-months or so and because he's a big baby we took out the insert. He used the car seat until he outgrew the weight and size limit which was around 15 months. Others had their babies in there longer because my friend's babies are smaller. The straps do get twisted and I wished there was a function where you can put the straps via magnet on the side so they don't always get lost and twisted. I'm petite and carrying a hefty baby with the car seat is not easy, but the overall weight of the carrier I'm sure helps with the safety of my LO. I'd rather it be built solid than be flimsy like some other car seats I've seen.

IT’S NOT TOO SMALL, READ THE MANUAL!
This is a wonderful car seat. For everyone saying that it’s too small, I’m curious if you read the manual. You have to remove the infant insert when they outgrow it. It makes the car seat way roomier. It’s a shame that so many people downvote this car seat. My daughter is a big baby and she fit in this car seat until she was 1. It’s crazy to me that so many people aren’t reading the instructions of the car seat that they’re putting their precious cargo in. Mind boggling.

Seems Uncomfortable
We have had this carseat for our son from birth. He is now 8mo, but probably more like a 6mo in size (<5th %tile, weighed 14lbs at 6mo) and we finally caved to buying a normal/convertible carseat. He fusses almost every time we try to get him in this. The seat is so deep, especially without the body insert. The seat angles also seem severe, and it looks like such an unnatural seated position. We can't always get his butt to the bottom either when he fights it, which I worry makes it less safe.

Infant outgrew car seat at 3 months old
Like the car seat overall, but it does not work well for larger babies. My son is only 3 months old and weighs 15 lbs. He is very squished and uncomfortable in the seat now and, unfortunately, already needs a new car seat. We also have the Mini GT2 stroller and sadly he’s too little to ride in that without the infant adapter. Any recommendations on what to do in the meantime since he’s too big for the car seat, but still too small to ride normally in the stroller? Thank you!

Too small after only 6 months
I loved this car seat and stroller in the beginning but now that our girls are 16 pounds they were no longer fitting in this car seat. They seem so squished and so uncomfortable. These are very expensive and having to buy two of everything, we were hoping they would last awhile but already having to buy new car seats that wouldn’t even work with the stroller we spent a lot of money on.

Something Just Isn’t Right
I’ve been using this car seat for my baby from the ages of 0-11 weeks. At first we liked it. It’s high quality and has solid head support. But, at 11 weeks our baby who is WELL within the seat’s height (<32 in) and weight (<35 lbs) limits (he is 24 in and 13 lbs), has nearly outgrown the seat. We have thoroughly researched how to properly harness him with straps at or just below his shoulders and removed the newborn insert at the appropriate time, and the head support and straps are now at nearly the highest setting. The head support is raised above the highest point of the car seat shell, and our baby’s head is almost at the 1” from top of seat limit. Baby Jogger, what am I missing? There’s no way that my infant has outgrown the seat at 8 inches below the height limit! The published maximum height and weight cannot be correct. I’m extremely disappointed that I spent money on this product only to have to buy a new car seat after 11 weeks. The seat is also heavy and we found it somewhat difficult to install.

Too small
This car seat worked well for the first few months. I like that you have the option to use a base or to not use it. Also, it easily clips into the compact stroller. However, my baby quickly outgrew it and car rides have been miserable. She gets very hot and is squished in the seat so she is uncomfortable. I need to purchase a new car seat already.

Way to small, way to fast
I really loved this car seat as I thought it would last me a long time, and even bought 2 bases and the stroller. But after 3 months my daughter is miserable in this seat - she has run out of room and is uncomfortable, as it’s way to small (& she gets super hot). There is no way the size and weight is correct, as she is 14lbs and 25inches and already has outgrown this seat that should have lasted us many more months. Car rides are awful because of this seat, but I spent so much money on it, that I don’t want to give up using it.

Terrible seat belt, will no longer tighten
I received this 5 months ago for my newborn, and was satisfied for the first 2-3 months but now it is showing the flaws and how terribly constructed it is. I would not recommend this seat, quality is terrible.

Inadequate manual / instructions for use
received this as a baby shower gift and was very excited based on baby jogger reputation. but have aince been very disappointed - first off, the amt of instruction and guidnave on how to safely get baby in seat is astonishing. The lack of company issued/sponsored videos or help forums to understand the instructions is amazing to me. as a first time mom, safely getting my baby jn this seat is top priority and i feel like BJ did not allow parents to be set up for success at all.

Love it after 1 year, read about good and bad
We are happy with our purchase.
1. I read negative reviews about height at shoulders, but our baby is 95 percentile height and we had no issues, just gave to increase the height in the back.
2. Although can be used easily without a base, it is safest to use with a base. If seatbelt is not snug when used without a base, seat tipped over. If seatbelt is snug when used without a base, we had no issues.
3. Easy to use with the base in car and with baby jogger stroller.
4. Light weight

Nice design and works well w/ baby jogger stroller
Nice padding, baby fits comfortably, and it feels lightweight when lifting it from the car to put on the stroller base. Works well with the city mini stroller.

A bit disappointed
I wanted to like this car seat (got it in blue!) but I just can’t deal with it’s many design issues.
1. It’s extremely heavy even before putting my baby in. My little girl is almost 15 lbs now and I feel like I’m lugging a whale, lol. It might be better if the design was less cumbersome—but there is simply no comfortable way to carry this.
2. The inserts are very ridged and have squished my baby from the beginning. Now that she’s 4 months we have taken out the infant insert so it’s a bit better, but now she’s almost too long.
3. The straps are constantly twisting and I have to untwist them almost every time I use this. To tighten or loosen them, you need 3 hands—which you can imagine is impossible when I’m not with my mom or husband.
I would say that the quality of materials is very good and I really love my baby jogger stroller. I’m just disappointed in the car seat!

Great for the first few months
I bought the entire City Jogger Deluxe Double Travel System thinking the car seats would last until around a year, based on the 32 inch limit.
Our twins are now 7 months old & 15lbs (they were 2 months premature), & are already smashed & uncomfortable in the car seats. There is no room in the leg area &, even though we’ve adjusted it every way possible, they’re constantly squirming trying to get comfortable.
The weird thing is that the jogging seats that came with the travel system are significantly larger.
Having to buy two of everything is costly as it is & a travel system for twins is an investment. I was really hoping to love this product but it just seems like a waste of money (with covid our usage is already light). Looks like I’m already back to the drawing board for the entire she-bang.

I love everything about this car seat
I have a naturally small frame and I’m only 4’11”, so the thought of carrying around a huge car seat + a baby was daunting for me. I literally walked around baby stores with a weighted baby doll until I found one I could carry. I was also not going to give up safety and protection for a car seat being lightweight. Another feature I love is how easy it is to adjust the straps by pinching the buttons on the back. Babies are constantly growing, so to not have to rethread the seatbelt (and fear you did it wrong) is so nice. The stroller is so compact and fits nicely in the trunk of my compact car. It is so easy to fold (literally can do it one handed with a baby on the hip).

Safe and Stylish
I’ve been really impressed with my city go car seat and stroller system. The car seat is made of high quality material. I wish I would have bought this car seat for my first two kiddos and not waited until my last baby! We’ve been using this car seat for 6 months now and I get lots of compliments on it!

I thought I loved it
I purchased this car seat with no prior research partly due to being in Buy Buy Baby and the sales associate being the car seat to my attention and making an last minute decision and partly due to the fact that it was so new it wasn’t on my radar and there were no reviews other than incentivized ones. When I was in store I had 2 other brands in mind that I was torn between and I did plenty of research on but when speaking with the BBB sales associate and trying out, aka holding the car seats with a weight in them, I was still unsure of what I wanted. When the sales associate mentioned baby jogger came out with a carrier I was in intrigued because I was looking into their stroller system as MY possible stroller system. So what did I do, I took to the internet in store to try to find reviews on what other parents were saying, did they love it, like it, hate it? Come to find out the carrier has just come out and there were no reviews posted other than incentivized ones. I really was torn, should I get a carrier I had very little information about or settle on another one? Well I got it, I loved all the features! Non retread straps, European taxi belt path, easy adjustable headrest and it was all at a great overall weight! Honestly I freaking loved it but now baby is close to 4 months old and she is close to out growing it. I really thought that this was going to last until the was close to a year maybe even longer based on height and weight charts. This is pretty disappointing because the car seat was not cheap either and for the amount of money paid you would think you would get to enjoy all those lovely features for an extended amount of time not for the first 3-4 months.

Would not recommend
I bought this car seat for our new baby who is now 3 months old. The warning label is rubbing off the hair on the back of her head and it is almost too small for her. I have washed it once and it looks old I feel like for as much money we spent on it would have lasted way longer.
