Baby Jogger City Mini 4:
The Easy-To-Handle Stroller

In a Nutshell

Meet the Baby Jogger City Mini 4

The City Mini 4-Wheel Stroller from Baby Jogger is nearly identical to the City Mini model; it just has four wheels as opposed to three. It has every feature that parents love about the City Mini, including the enormous canopy, wide seat, endless recline, and one-hand fold. A baby from birth and up to 65 lbs. can ride this 4-Wheel model. It’s suitable for daily activities like trips to the grocery, mall, or park.

Please be mindful that the City Mini 4 is not suitable for jogging.

Value for Money

Compared to the City Mini, the City Mini 4 it is quite heavy at almost 20 lbs. It’s too heavy to be compared with umbrella strollers; alongside, its wheels are too small for a full-sized stroller. These features put this stroller somewhere in between.

Its storage basket which is difficult to access, the non-adjustable handlebar, plus lack of accessories like the belly bar and cup holder also takes some points away.

Then again, it’s a quality stroller and you won’t be disappointed if you decide to get it. The City Mini 4 is available only in two colors, and it sells for around $259 on Amazon.com.

A lot of parents are happy with their purchase, and some of them wish they had gotten the City Mini 4 sooner.

What parents say

“I love everything about this stroller. I had considered many options before deciding on this one. Today, I’m quite content.” – V. November 8, 2019, 5 stars

“It is an extremely sturdy and cozy stroller. It is really useful and excellent for travel. I’m happy with my purchase.” – A. October 7, 2019, 5stars

“It glides everywhere – over bumps, steps, and mud. It closes instantly and opens simply, releasing the fold in a single motion. Although it isn’t cheap, its comfort and usefulness make up for the cost.” – L. May 20, 2019, 5 stars

“Very pleased with the purchase, and we got it for a great price as well. We were a little nervous at first because we had used a high-quality stroller for two years and were accustomed to it, but even though it is a lightweight stroller, it handles incredibly well, is very durable, and is ideal for big children.” – C. March 17, 2018, 5 stars

Ease of Use

The one-handed, one-step fold of the City Mini 4 is what sells it. This stroller may be folded in half with just a little tug on the handle that’s located in the center of the seat. Even with a child in your arm, you can manage the fold. The City Mini 4 is incredibly small; even a little trunk ought to have room for it. As a result, many parents find the joy of folding and taking it anywhere.

What parents say

“I have to always secure the straps before going back to reattach my baby because they easily come off.” – C. December 1, 2019, 5stars

Parent Tip!

The City Mini 4 folds super easy but if you carry a lot of things in the bottom basket, it doesn’t quite fold completely. Also, it does not allow bags to be hung on the handlebar; the seat cannot be folded if you do.

Portability

What parents say

“Convenient and light. Easily maneuverable and has a good carrying capacity.” – I. September 23, 2020, 4 stars

“I really like it! It is light enough to be carried with just one hand. My son loves his new chair, and I can tell.” – C. October 24, 2019, 5 stars

“Although not a true City Mini, it is highly stable. It’s large enough for even my tall 5-year-old to comfortably snooze in.” – A. October 1, 2019, 5 stars

“The folding mechanism is wonderful. Simply removing the two safety clicks and pulling it folds in 10 seconds. It’s perfect for public transport.” – R. December 30, 2016, 5 stars

Maneuverability

The City Mini 4-Wheel is one of the most maneuverable strollers you will ever purchase. It also has one of the greatest weight capacities in the City Mini lineup at 65 lbs. Its 4-wheel construction and twin front wheel suspension make it the ideal stroller for parents who are constantly on the move.

What parents say

“Unlike my previous lightweight strollers, this one is lightweight and maneuverable yet still seems strong.” – A. November 10, 2018, 5 stars

“My 5-year-old still enjoys it. It’s very easy to push around, easy to carry with one hand and fold up. It’s really comfortable.” – M. October 6, 2016, 5 stars

“The maneuverability to turn and go back and forth is questionable, as its front wheels rotate on their axis (shopping cart style).” – P. January 15, 2017, 3 stars

Safety and Quality

The canopy on the City Mini 4 is enormous. Your baby will be protected from the sun at any angle and at any time of day by one of the best canopies available. It allows for two sizable peek-a-boo windows because of its size. The clear plastic peek-a-boo windows have a Velcro fastening and are constructed of quality material.

What parents say

“This pram is comfortable and strong. I bought it over five years ago, and I have to say that it still looks brand new now.” – C. July 9, 2020, 5 stars

“I live in the mountains, and this stroller is excellent because it doesn’t jam up on me. It is easy to open and especially close.” – P. December 2, 2019, 5 stars

“Very comfortable and spacious. We were looking for something durable and something that would last us until our child outgrows it. This stroller is a good buy.” – L. February 25, 2018, 4 stars

Parent Tip!

If you don’t brake properly on a slope (or even when you think you have), this stroller may suddenly roll away. Make it a habit to check on the brakes to prevent any accidents.

Accessorize Your City Mini 4

Although the City Mini 4 is a quality stroller, some parents weren’t quite satisfied with it due to the lack of attachments like a bumper bar, a cup holder, and rain cover.

What parents say

“The downside is it doesn’t have footrests and accessories such as the front bar or the rain cover. These must be purchased separately.” – A. September 29, 2018, 5 stars

“The absence of even a basic accessory such as the front safety bar is the only disadvantage.” – F. November 20, 2017, 4 stars

“Additionally, not even a single accessory is included. For the cost, at least the front bar should be included.” – L. September 24, 2017, 3 stars

“Additions like the child tray and parent console would have been great. I believe that a stroller needs to have these additions.” – J. August 16, 2015, 4 stars
