Baby Jogger is known for being compact and light. It’s built for parents who want to travel the world with their little one. It’s safe for travelling, is comfortable, and is easy to manage. Let’s see if Baby Jogger City GO 2 Infant Car Seat live up to the brand’s reputation.
How We Tested Baby Jogger City GO 2
We installed Baby Jogged in our sedan to see if it’s easy to install. And we didn’t break a sweat installing it. Installing the base is quite confusing. It doesn’t have any level indicator which we always have with our previous car seats. But using it without the base is easy enough. It’s also compact enough to be placed in the back of the driver seat without adjusting the driver seat forward. But one thing we took note is that this is not as light as it is advertised. We have seen and tested lighter car seats in a much lower price.
How We Picked Baby Jogger City GO 2
Deciding which car seat to choose is dreadful and overwhelming. You need to find the best car seat that is easy to install, has all the necessary safety features, is comfortable for your baby, and is easy to maintain. We listed below how well Baby Jogger City GO 2 performed.
Installation
I’ve been a fan of Baby Jogger and I can say that most of the car seat and stroller I have from their brand is very easy to install. Testing this car seat is no shocker. It’s easy to install and is perfect for parents who want to travel with their baby. It can be installed without the base, and you can use the car’s seat belt to secure it safely.
Fit
This car seat can fit newborns and preemies comfortably and securely. The headrest and shoulder pads are equipped with thick foam. However, upon reading through hundreds of reviews from Amazon, it appears that City GO 2 does not go well with larger babies. Although it says that the maximum weight is 35 lbs, it can be very snug and uncomfortable at this stage for your baby.
It is compact?
Baby Jogger City GO 2 is compact enough to be installed at the back of the car seat and not move the front seat all the way. But for its weight, we have seen lighter car seats that go below the price of City GO 2.
Compatibility
‎Baby Jogger City GO 2 is compatible with most of Baby Jogger’s strollers and buggies.
Canopy
The canopy for this seat is large and extendable. And compared to other brands in the market this car seat is more compact. Additionally, the fabric is UPF 50+ and can cover your baby from head to toe from the harsh sun.
The handle is also not affected by the canopy being open all the way. You can carry the seat easily with your hand or in the crook of your arm.
Maintenance
The cover of this seat is removable and is machine washable which is good specially on stains and other dirt.
Design
This seat boast a sleek and modern design that matches perfectly with Baby Jogger strollers. It also has a separate color for seatbelt guides and indicators for easier installation. One small thing that we can’t disregard is that the warning signs are placed in the fabric of the headrest. This can cause irritation to your baby’s sensitive skin.
Baby Jogger City GO 2 Infant Car Seat
If you are planning to travel and share the incredible experience with your baby, then the Baby Jogger City GO 2 Infant Car Seat is one of the best car seat for you. It’s lightweight, compact and east to install without jeopardizing safety. It fits your baby securely and comfortably for any adventure. Just keep in mind that this car seat is only compatible with Baby Jogger strollers, and you will need to buy adapters separately for a more convenient installation in taxis without the base.
