Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double vs Baby Jogger Summit X3 Double
Both are Baby Jogger side-by-side doubles, and they are different tools. The City Tour 2 Double is $500 and 23.21 lb; the Summit X3 Double is $800 and 37.04 lb, 13.8 lb heavier. The Tour 2's per-seat limit of 33 lb is the lowest of any double here, and its page lists no car seat option, so it is a stroller for toddlers and a short list of trips. The Summit takes 50 lb per seat and has adapters for City GO and Graco SnugRide seats, sold separately, and Baby Jogger tells parents to consult a pediatrician before jogging with a child under 6 months. Neither publishes folded dimensions, which is a real gap when you are fitting two seats in a trunk. The Tour 2 has a 15 lb basket capacity; the Summit has none. Running or rough paths are the only reason to pay $300 more and carry 13.8 lb extra.
The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double is 13.83 lb lighter by its maker's figure (23.21 lb to 37.04 lb). At the makers' own prices the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double is about $300 less.
