Baby Jogger City Mini Air vs Baby Jogger City Tour 2
Same maker, same City GO seat, and $150 apart: the City Mini Air is $500 and the City Tour 2 is $350. The cheaper one publishes more, with 14.5 lb, a 15 lb basket and a 45 lb limit, where Baby Jogger gives the Mini Air no weight and two different child limits. Both recline from birth. The Mini Air's extra $150 buys included Graco SnugRide adapters and nothing you can measure.
At the makers' own prices the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 is about $150 less.

- 45 lb child limit is lower than most rivals
