Baby Jogger City GO Infant Car Seat Review

When it comes to bringing your baby along for life’s adventures, having the right car seat is key.

You want something safe, reliable, and easy to use, so you can focus on enjoying your time together rather than fussing with complicated equipment.  

The City GO Infant Car Seat from Baby Jogger is one such transporter for your kiddo — a stylish and functional option designed to keep them secure and comfortable from day one! 

Let’s explore why the City GO is a top contender for parents on the go! 

Ready for Every Journey 

THE SPECS:

Suitable for children 4 to 35 lbs. and up to 32" tall
Dimensions: 8.7" H x 13.8" L x 27.7" W
Weight (without base): 10.65 lbs.

The City GO Infant Car Seat is built to accommodate newborns as small as 4 lbs. up until 35 lbs. or 32" tall, making it a great first step in your baby's car seat journey.

Easy Installation Options 

As any parent knows, a car seat that’s tricky to install can make even the simplest outing stressful. The City GO tackles this head-on with two quick and secure installation methods: 

• The push-button LATCH system for effortless installation in compatible vehicles.
  
  
• An integrated belt lock-off for easy and secure seatbelt installation 

Both options are intuitive and designed to minimize user error, giving you peace of mind that your baby’s seat is installed correctly every time. Plus, the taxi-safe belt path makes it simple to install the car seat without the base when you’re using a rental car or cab! This flexibility is a must for urban parents or frequent travellers. 

If your family has two vehicles, you can purchase an extra base
to avoid timely installations back and forth.

Key Features 

With so many standout features, the City GO simplifies your life while keeping your baby safe and comfortable.

Rear-Facing Protection: Baby Jogger keeps your little safe while rear-facing, which is the safest position for infants. 

5-Point No-Rethread Harness: Ensures a snug and secure fit every time. Plus, allows you to make adjustment on the fly as your baby grows. No need to fuss with rethreading the harness.

One-Handed Adjustments: One-hand adjustments for headrest and harness save time and frustration.

Taxi-Safe Belt Path: This standout feature allows for quick and safe installation without the base, perfect for city living or travel. 

Adjustable Base: The six-position base lets you achieve a proper fit in a variety of vehicles, and bubble level indicators make installation foolproof. 

Travel System Compatibility: For parents who already own a Baby Jogger stroller or are considering one, the City GO’s compatibility is a standout feature. Simply attach the car seat adapters (sold separately) to your stroller, and you’re ready to roll. This travel system functionality makes transitioning between car and stroller seamless and stress-free.

Engineered for Safety 

The City GO Infant Car Seat is engineered and crash-tested to meet or exceed Canadian safety standards (CMVSS 123, 213.1 & 213.2) and has undergone side-impact testing. Knowing that your baby is protected by a seat built with rigorous safety standards means one less thing to worry about!

Comfortable Adventures 

Adventuring with your baby has never been easier. The City GO’s comfort features make every outing enjoyable: 

Infant Insert: A removable infant body insert provides additional support for newborns and smaller babies, ensuring they’re properly positioned from the start. 

Lightweight and Portable: At just 10.65 lbs. (without the base), the City GO is easy to carry — a huge plus when you’re juggling a diaper bag, stroller, and who knows what else! Its compact dimensions make it a great fit for smaller cars or tight spaces. 

Sun Protection on the Go: The UV 50+ canopy provides excellent sun protection, while out enjoying the fresh air in a stroller. This extended coverage keeps your little one comfortable and shielded from harsh sunlight.
