Baby Jogger Double Stroller Adjustable Belly Bar for 2008 City & Summit

My 16 month old loves this bar- give him a great thing to hold on to since he's never been the type to just lay back and relax- he would lean forward before but now it's much easier for him to sit up. The bar is not quite as square shapped as it looks in the pics- it's more rounded. LOVE that it has a cover that zips off for cleaning. A must have for the city mini, makes it look more complete. PS- read lots and lots of review on the bar and the tray and i just saw the tray at a store yesterday- the tray comes up REALLY high, level with my sons face and he's tall!!! Do not get the tray for a child less that 2 or 3, it's too high and blocks them. Just my two cents :)

OH YEAH- the bar CAN be used as a car seat adaptor/holder!!!! I'm sure it's not "locked" in there as tight as the $70 on they sell but it works GREAT with my graco snugride- the grooves in the carseat fit right on the bar. It fits best if you take off the hood of the stroller, or just take the hood out...Read more

I took a risk by purchasing this adjustable belly bar for the Baby Jogger F.I.T. Single Jogging Stroller, Kiwi/Black as it was not listed as one of the compatible strollers in the description.
Well, I made the right decision. It perfectly fits the Baby Jogger FIT.

PROS:
-Height: the belly bar can be adjusted whereas, the child tray cannot. The child tray is too high for infants and blocks the view.
-Washable: the cover can be removed from the bar and it can be washed.
-Adjustable: I have it adjusted to one of the lowest positions for my baby so that he can enjoy the view. (You cannot adjust the child tray)
-Toy bar: You can hang toys to the belly bar and baby can play without worrying about losing then on the go. (Please see the uploaded picture) You cannot hang toys like that on the child tray...Read more

We have had our City Mini double stroller for 14 months now and love it. A friend with 2-year-old twins mentioned that her boys love pulling themselves up on the belly bar, so I decided to splurge and order it. I find the bar a little bit of a bother to put in and take out (might just be the learning curve since I've only used it a few times), and it seems kind of pointless. My boys occasionally pull themselves up on it but with the design of the seats, they are always reclined a bit at the most upright setting so that's a little difficult/uncomfortable for them. Maybe they will find it more useful when they're a little taller. (They are 32" and 33", respectively, now at 18 months.) I wish Baby Jogger would redesign the stroller to sit fully upright at the least reclined setting; then I think the belly bar (and snack trays, if you buy them) would be easier to use.
