ATLANTA, Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Weekend road trips, flights and daily adventures with little ones just became easier with the new Baby Jogger City Tour stroller.* The latest innovation to the award-winning line of Baby Jogger strollers is light enough to fit in a backpack and small enough when folded to fit on many buses or airplanes.

The most compact Baby Jogger stroller to date, the City Tour stroller was designed with active, on-the-go parents in mind. The stroller weighs only 14 pounds and meets carry-on requirements for many modes of transportation. The one-handed fold makes it easy to fold up and take from place to place, and the matching carry bag leaves hands free to tend to children.

"Traveling with children can be stressful and a stroller should ease the burden, not add to it," said Chris Davenport, Director of Brand Marketing. "The new City Tour stroller incorporates features that help parents navigate a variety of travel situations and keeps kids comfortable on the journey so that you can have a stroller that matches your desire to be on the go." 

The City Tour stroller includes additional features that enhance comfort and maneuverability. The multi-position reclining seat adjusts to the desired position with one hand and the extended UV50⁺ canopy keeps baby shaded on sunny days. The 5-inch durable, lightweight front wheels can be set to swivel for the daily obstacle course or locked for longer distances.

Parents have the option of five colors to fit their personal style (onyx, garnet, juniper, violet, and cobalt) and can further customize their strolling experience with accessories that can be purchased separately such as a parent console, cup holder, hand muff, weather shield and belly bar. 

The City Tour stroller can be used starting at six months of age up through 45 pounds, ensuring the stroller will be around for many years and all the adventures to come. 

Be In-the-Know While On-the-Go with the Best Places to Stroll Guide  
To celebrate the launch of the new City Tour, Baby Jogger has released its first "Best Places to Stroll Guide," a compilation of popular, stroller-friendly destinations chosen by parents from across the United States. The list features recommendations using #HowIStroll from active parents, including a paid endorsement from former star of MTV's The Hills, Audrina Patridge. These moms and dads have scoured their respective cities (with kids in tow!) to find the most happening, family-friendly spots:

"Life changes when you have a child, but it doesn't come to a halt. At Baby Jogger, we understand that you can be a parent and still do the things you love," said Davenport. "The Best Places to Stroll Guide celebrates that life's experiences are even better when you bring baby along for the ride. With the new City Tour stroller, daily outings are even easier no matter where you want to stroll."

The "Best Places to Stroll Guide" can be viewed on the @BabyJogger Instagram page and families can learn more about how far the City Tour can take them at BabyJogger.com.
