I live in BP and have a great walking stroller but what I need is a good car stroller. It doesn't have to be tiny but it does need to fold up and not take the whole trunk.

My last baby was 6 years ago and everyone used the city mini as their car stroller. I remember that fold was amazing and it wasn't too expensive. I have no idea if that stroller is still around, I haven't see it lately but I've tried doing research. It seems like everything now is hundreds of dollars and folds tiny for an airplane. Im not looking for that. I want something that can fold nicely in my trunk and then push nicely when we get to our destination (the zoo, mall, park, bobbies house). What's practical for me that isn't almost the cost or weight of a full size stroller?

Baby jogger city tour. I'm very happy with mine. It's almost 6 years old and still works great.

Are they still making this? Why is this better than the city mini if they still make that?

I believe this falls under the folds up tiny and costs hundreds of dollars category.

They still make the City Mini. https://www.albeebaby.com/baby......html

I have one. It's a workhorse and nice and light.

The Britax Pathway is a little cheaper.

Yes there is a new model city mini. It’s called gt2. The new types of strollers fold up smaller and lighter but if you don’t care about that then go with the tried and true. City mini gt has better wheels than the new strollers.

Mini 2: 167.99, 20 pounds
GT2: 399.99, 21.4 pounds
A Tour Lux is 179.99, 19.4 pounds
City Tour 2: 249.99 14.3 pounds

I'd probably go with the Tour Lux for a car stroller...

Cybex Beezy is pretty lightweight and folds amazingly. Amazon has some colors in the $250 range.

City tour is a mini version of city mini. Very light and easy, small fold without breaking the bank. I use it often and travel with it a lot.

This looks very cool.

Looking at this and the city mini tour so far. The other ones are out of my budget (but beautiful!)
