- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]
- Facebook's new Timeline and Open Graph apps: How to protect your privacyLove it or hate it, if you're a Facebook user, the new past-sharing visual Timeline (which replaces your profile page) is in your future. Timeline's bringing big-mouthed friends to the party, too, in the form of "Open Graph" apps. These apps can automatically post your non-Facebook online activities onto your Facebook Wall, so if you list […]
- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year. Intrigued by Home Depot's money back […]
- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]
- Unsafe car seats and tires recalled; and mispackaged contraception packs scare consumers againSeveral recalls this week affect the safety of your ride, including two large child car seat recalls, one tire recall and two vehicle recalls.

- Beauty beware: Hepatitis risk at nail salons and barbershopsI'm a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to nail care, preferring to shape and paint my own talons instead of paying someone else to do it. Apparently, my frugal ways may do more than save me money -- it might also save my health. Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet. Many young children who use adult seat belts are improperly secured because of ill fit, finds a study by the University of Michigan.read more […]
- Counting calories: Of course, there's an app for that...Actually, there are hundreds of apps and websites to help you count calories: the ones you are burning and the ones you are consuming.

ConsumerSearch found six women who have enlisted their computers and mobile devices (and have been doing so for at least six m […]
- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach. But you can still find a variety of veggies that are either in season or available year-round. With a mind toward that healthy-eating New Year's resolution, we scoured the […]
- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right? But some say that Google has lost its guiding light in the wake of some recent changes to the company's privacy policy and Terms of Use. What's all the hubbub about? Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

- Where to mount a plasma or LCD TVSo you've picked out the perfect flat-screen LCD TV or plasma TV. You've even picked out the perfect TV wall mount to hang it on a wall.

However, the truth of the matter is […]

I purchased this stroller because I live in a city and walk a lot with my baby. I liked the relatively light weight of the stroller and the easy fold design. My complaint with the stroller is that is seems to be made cheaply. For example, to raise the seat so my baby can sit up, there is a cheap plastic piece like the kind that tightens the hood of a winter jacket, and this does not instill a lot of confidence. Also, there was a recall of the restraint buckles after a consumer research test consistent with my impression of the cheap plastic parts on the stroller. Knowing what I know now, I would not have purchased this stroller, but now that I have it, it is OK for travel (it’s just more that I would have wanted to spend for a stroller that I hardly use). Otherwise, I use my larger mountain buggy (urban single) stroller for everything, and that stroller is great.

Our baby isn’t here yet, but just playing around with this stroller gives us the impression that it’s going to be perfect. The way that it folds is impressive, and it’s so light.

This was the first stroller we ever owned. We live in a large city, so we were looking for a stroller that is easy to fold and carry on public transportation, while also sturdy enough to navigate the streets. It IS very easy to fold, just one motion does it, but its bulky and unyielding once you fold it, so not so easy to get on a bus with it. That is the reason I took one star off.
Otherwise, I find the design very good overall – you can easily unsnap the whole thing from its frame and wash it, the canopy is large enough so you don’t need to get a separate sun canopy, it is relatively light compared to other strollers, so it is easy to maneuver, and the baby is comfortable and snug in there. My daughter loves her stroller and loved sleeping in it as a baby. In contrast, she always cried when I tried to put her in our Gracco car seat, snapped on a frame. A lot of people use that instead of strollers, but she hated it, so we never used it. I have used the stroller for two years now every single day, including taking it on several trips and using it on really beat-up streets in Southern Europe. It’s holding up pretty good, we haven’t had to adjust or replace anything. We bought the JJ Cole bunting and pinned it to the top of the stroller during winter. It is not ideal but it works fine.
Overall, I think the stroller provides really good value for what it offers. At the time we bought it, everyone was into the Bugaboo or the Quinny but they cost quite a bit more. Soon enough, we started seeing a shift – many many Citi Minis and very few of the expensive strollers. I think its a testament to the overall value that this stroller provides.

I spent many weeks of researching strollers that can also fit a Graco car seat and I finally bought this stroller. Reasons? many of them ….
PROS
- Compact size when it folds
- Easy-to-use single hand fold system (no need to push down the stroller onto the floor, or bent your knee, just pull and lift)
- Easy to push maneuver
- Light-weight
- Very decent price (not as cheap as most Graco, but A LOT cheaper than those fancy strollers)
- Extra large canopy and double windows
- Large basket (latest model)
- Wheels can be easily taken off if replacement is needed or to store the stroller in a box
CONS
- Not seen any yet …

I LOVE MY CITY MINI!! I agonized over which jogging stroller to go with. I don’t jog (and this is definitely not a jogger) but I wanted something with larger wheels and a decent suspension for non-sidewalk travel. The City Mini is perfect for park strolls and places without sidewalks and our little man (4 months) fell asleep in it his first day out!
Pros:
Lightweight, ONE HANDED FOLD!!!!(It pops back up just as easily!), awesome canopy with two peekaboo windows, fully reclining seat with weather guard (who knew I’d love this feature so much??), wheels slide on and off easily, fit in the driver’s side backseat of my Corolla with our Britax Boulevard rear-facing in the center seat. (YAY!) One handed steering for walks with the pooch.
Cons:
) Small price to pay for a stroller that’s this fantastic!
The basket is hard to get into with my little one in the stroller, and although it has the capacity to hold it, I have to cram my diaper bag/purse over the support bar in the back. (Guess I’ll just have to buy a new bag!! DARN!
