Stroller Reviews For Travel With Baby…
Have Stroller Will Shop. In Mexico 
This stroller has seen more babies travelling and actually been to more places than some people. It’s nothing fancy, but it has been a wonderful stroller for travelling with toddlers and has seen us through a number of harsh Canadian winters as well. Time has not been kind to this stroller, the wheels are all rusty and I’m no longer able to order replacement parts, but if you happen upon one in a secondhand shop or on Craigslist, I recommend you grab it!
It’s a Safety First jogging stroller, and it’s no longer sold in stores. Actually, it’s probably been out of stores for a few years now. It was a hand-me-down from my cousin, and my nephew (the original stroll-ee) is now approaching 7, so this stroller is of a definite vintage. What’s funny is my cousin actually really hated this stroller, but we’ve found it invaluable.
It folds quite compactly, and very easily. It’s tad heavy, so it probably would not be allowed as per American Airlines stroller policy, but we’ve had no trouble with it on Air Canada to Club Med Ixtapa Pacific, and it went with us on most of our travels to Cuba. It sails over cobblestones, has no difficulty with steep curbs, and manages very well on sand. When it’s home with us, it got us through numerous snowstorms – even with a Kindergartener riding on the back step (it is probably NOT recommended that you do this, but just letting you know you can – just be safe!) This stroller owes us nothing.
The stroller’s first trip!
I was concerned about getting a flat tire, and also that we’d need to deflate the tires before gate-checking. I read online somewhere that you might need to do that if you’re traveling with a bicycle – something about the air pressure and having inflatable tires. But on all our journeys we’ve never had to do that, and we have a little hand pump and patch kit in our carry-on, we’ve never had to use that either.
Since this stroller is no longer in production, I had a look around to see what might be comparable. Similar (but much more expensive) options include the Kelty Speedster
The one stroller you’ll never see me recommend is the mythical $10 dollar cheapie stroller, not only because it’s awful, but also? It doesn’t really exist.

This stroller looks very similar to our City Elite by Baby Jogger. http://babyjogger.com/city_elite_lp.aspx Although I’ve only been using it for just over a year, it’s been fantastic and easily made it through an Ottawa winter! With it’s one-handed quick-fold, it quickly unfolds and it’s small enough to fit in the back of my Honda Fit too!
Friends of mine have a City Mini by Baby Jogger and I was really impressed by how fully functional it is while folding so easily and so compactly. What a great everyday stroller that is excellent for travel as well.
My preference is to not have to purchase a separate stroller for travel and the Baby Joggers seem to be good strollers to fit that bill!
