Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double $699.99 | 36.5lbs
You can view and purchase here.

Firstly, let’s address a big misconception: the City Mini GT2 is not a jogging stroller, despite the company’s name being Baby Jogger! This perennial favorite is an upgrade from the standard Baby Jogger GT, and features strong and sturdy all-terrain wheels, large canopies, independent reclinable seats (near flat) and an easy fold. The GT2 got a makeover with its sleeker frame, upgraded wheels, and an adjustable footrest. The seat back is 26” high – great option for taller toddlers. We highly recommend this stroller for those living in Israel as it handles well on cobblestones and uneven surfaces. (One drawback though – it is 30” wide so it may not fit in all Israeli elevators.)

Pros:

• Forever all terrain wheel with all wheel suspension
• Newborn compatible (with some sort of head support) 
• Can accommodate bigger children   
• Super strong and sturdy
• Smooth push

Cons:

• Heavy
• Cannot hold 2 infant seats
• No belly bars
