I have this one for about 4 years now.
Used with 2 kids as my main stroller.
I love the fold, the huge canopy, comes with rain cover and bumper bar. Decent basket and pocket on the stroller. Even has a travel bag.
It happened to fit my Evenflo infant seat which I found out by accident so it got more use than I planned as I did this instead of my snap n go with my youngest.
He is over 2 now and he loves napping in it when he's at home.
Straps occasionally need adjusting and it doesn't sit up fully but I found many strollers have those issues.
Recline is great and the steering is very smooth. Lightweight and compact which makes me reach for it over my full size stroller...

No experience with this stroller personally, but I was doing research for someone else and this was recommended.

Yes, this site is legit, it was thanks to another Imamother that referred me to it, and I've since ordered other things from them.

Now that I'm alas deeper in the rabbit hole, this is also on sale for prime day and looks intriguing. Comes with a rain cover which the city tour doesn't, though the truth is I don't really use the rain cover much on my regular stroller, I'm lazy and forget to shlep it along and just use the canopy to keep rain off the baby's head and let their feet get wet like mine do.

Whoa they have a mountain buggy nano under $150 which I've seen recommended a lot, and a "gently used" mompush lithe which is what I was noticing on Amazon for $76. But not many other metzias. Now I'm really Hypnotized

Wow. I was skeptical that it only had 4 reviews on Amazon and never heard of the brand but that's quite a review.

Curious how the other strollers are with sitting up fully. I find the city mini doesn't really, plus the seat is deep so it's hard for my<1 year old to sit upright and I think that annoys him. Does the city tour have the same problem?

Any thoughts about this? There's a $60 coupon making it nicely inside my budget but can't find reviews which is... Confused

I think this stroller has some nice reviews on target.

Ugh against my better judgement I started googling and now there are a zillion options including ones that are less than the city tour on sale and I don't have time or energy to parse them all but the sale won't last. Ugh what have I done.

I really did want to stay under 100, can't decide whether to stick to my guns or if I'm going to regret not having a great stroller if the one I get isn't great and I blew the $100 on it.

The difference in price is negligible in the long run. Get a reputable stroller

Now I'm also looking at Graco ready2jet because someone near me is selling one on FB marketplace. They're asking 75 but on marketplace you usually bargain down. Graco has put out some strong products, it's no longer the junk brand, but I don't know anything about this one.
