Older Model is way better!
Prior to buying this we had two of the regular 2017 model city mini double strollers and we LOVED them. We fly a lot so our strollers have taken a beating and we wanted to upgrade to the new 2020 city mini gt2 double. Huge mistake. I wanted to love them because we love the older model so much but the upgrades are horrible. First they are HEAVY. They’re almost 36lbs and add in 2 kids they’re hard to push. Even worse is that they don’t fold as flat as the old model. They are huge heavy and bulky when folded. We have 4 kids under 4 and it’s impossible for me to deal with how heavy and bulky the gt2 is. The new footrest that folds up is a toddler parents nightmare. My kids will not leave it alone, I wish I could get rid of it. The new sun canopies are junk. I was most excited about the new magnetic peakaboo windows instead of the old Velcro ones and that is definitely a huge plus but the canopies themselves feel flimsy. They also attach to the stroller frame in a new way and they come off constant,y. Our old canopies never came detached from the frame. The suspension on the frame is also horrible. It makes the stroller nearly impossible to lift over a curb and it allows it to bottom out in the back and easily tip over backward. Our old city minis never tipped over backward but the new one does constantly when the seats are fully reclined and no not with stuff hanging on the handle bar and my largest child is only 34lbs so not exceeding the weight limit either. The new fabric stinks too. It’s softer but it stains easily and doesn’t repel water. Our old city minis were a slicker fabric that wiped off easily and dried quickly. We got caught in a very short rain st Disney one day and these seats stayed absolutely soaked for 24 hours. Overall I would never purchase this stroller again. We’ve had them for 2 weeks and one of those weeks was a nightmare at Disney world with bad strollers. I originally posted this review to Baby Joggers website and received an email that their moderators had decided not to publish it. What a joke, so they only publish positive reviews not honest ones
