- 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 […]

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]

- 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 […]

Review by K. Anderson for Baby Jogger City Micro Single Stroller – Slate
Rating:
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.

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.

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!

I had my eye on the City Mini but since it was backordered FOREVER, I went with the Micro. I liked that it had the great Baby Jogger fold and that it wasn’t as wide as the Mini and my Graco Metrolite (by 1 inch). It fits on the floor between the front and back seats when the back is full of groceries. However, I was disappointed that it wasn’t a little lighter. The canopy is okay especially for a lightweight but after coveting the Mini it is lacking. The straps are also a little wimpy and don’t come with pads but I whipped some up. We got the slate and it is gender neutral. I paired it with a blue and green stroller pad for our little boy but it would also look nice with pink. Our son is 15 months, 25 lbs, 33 in and fits well with plenty of room to grow. I’m missing having a cupholder and will look at getting something for that. I usually walk with the dog and I actually think the Metrolite is a little bit easier to steer with one hand. I like the stroller but I wish I would have been more patient and gotten the City Mini.

First of all, the color is great. It’s so bright that on the bike path we’re not missed. It’s tall enough for me to use while rollerblading which is the main reason I chose this stroller. The wheel lock on the front keeps us safe at high speeds. The best feature is the SUPER easy folding strap. Located in the seat of the stroller, just pull the nylon handle and the stroller collapeses perfectly. Only drawback right now is that the seat doesn’t recline enough for my 2 month old. I attached a head support normally used in a car seat and problem solved.
