If you want more recline, the center of gravity must be changed, which would need to make the stroller heavier and/or larger to offset the additional weight hanging further back from the original center of gravity. This would obviously defeat the purpose of a light and compact travel atroller.
That makes total sense! Even though I thought the recline would be a problem, my 18 month old didn't have any trouble taking 2-3 hour naps in the All City stroller while on vacation. She loves it enough that we use it as our every day stroller.
Ooohhh...that's a tough one. I'd say they are pretty much equal in that regard. The All Terrain has the locking front wheels which helps a little bit with the gravel situation, but the All City has the front wheel suspension which make it handle a little bit smoother on gravel. All in all...I would say they both strollers are pretty equal in terms of how they handle themselves on gravel roads (and def NOT great when it comes to gravel that consists of larger rocks).
Great suggestion! I just gave that a try, and it was a little bit easier. It's still a big difference in how easy the All City is to fold and close vs the All Terrain (but I use the All Terrain often depending on which car I am driving...so it's nice to have an easier way to latch it). Thanks for the suggestion!
@@InsightsByHeather definitely! I was at a shop testing out the all city and loved it. Will head down this weekend to get one. I do wish it would recline more though. But i suppose it does look comfy enough for baby to sleep in?
That All City is GREAT! I use it as my daily go-to stroller! I am with you...I wish it would have bigger recline, but my 18 month old doesn't seem to mind it. We took it to Mexico in June 2023, and she slept in the stroller every single day (and would take 2-3 hour stroller naps...and the recline seemed to be enough for her)! It was so nice to have the stroller with us ON the actual airplane to walk through customs.
I have taken the All City on about 5 trips now (2 international to Mexico)…and I have never had a problem getting it through security. In fact, the TSA officers are always amazed when I fold it down (in 2 secs) and put it on the belt. I have also not found an airplane yet where it was not able to fit in the overhead bin. (You’ll def want to check the airline specifications before traveling…just in case.) I have had a few gate agents tell me that I would “need a tag” for the stroller, until I showed them how it folded down and let them know I want to take it in the airplane with me…And they have always been just as amazed as the TSA agents.🤣

Thanks for the video. How is the performance of each stroller on a trail with gravel? Is the all terrain noticeably better on trails vs the all city?

Might be easier to close the latch with the stroller faced down on the ground.

Is the City stroller TSA approved and can fit on the cabin overhead
