Inglesina Trilogy City Stroller Review
If you are a busy urban super mom who is always on the go then you need a compact, easy to use stroller that can glide with just the touch of a finger.
This makes the Inglesina Trilogy City Stroller the perfect stroller for you!
The Trilogy City is made in Italy and provides unparalleled smoothness and an effortless push thanks to its ball-bearing rubber wheels.
The Trilogy City provides one of the smoothest rides you can find and with the one piece handle bar you can easily drive and maneuver this stroller with just one hand!
This leaves your other hand free for talking on the phone, holding a second child’s hand, or sipping your all important morning coffee.
The Trilogy City stroller has a sophisticated 3 D folding system that allows you to fold and unfold the stroller with just one hand and, once folded, the stroller stands on its own.
This is perfect for parents who spend the day getting on and off public transportation or who are constantly throwing their stroller into the trunk of their car as they speed about town.
Once folded, the stroller is extremely compact and will take up very little space in even the most compact of trunks.
While still providing a wide and comfortable seat for the baby, the Inglesina Trilogy City stroller frame is only 19.50 inches wide.
This will allow the stroller to fit through the narrowest passages and into the smallest of spaces.
No more worries about crowded shopping centers or narrow sidewalks and pathways. Your stroller will fit anywhere!
The Trilogy City has a modern, contemporary design that stands out for its clean look, lack of rivets and hidden closing mechanism. The stroller can be used as a travel system with infant car seats from Graco, Peg Perego and Britax or as pram with Inglesina’s bassinet.
For more perfect urban stroller options check out the Bugaboo Bee5 stroller or the UPPAbaby Cruz stroller.

Inglesina Trilogy City Stroller Review:- Pros
The Inglesina Trilogy City Stroller has so far received a excellent ratings from users at amazon.com, toysrus.com and diapers.com.
The Trilogy City is the Italian answer to the Bugaboo Bee and so far users feel this stroller is worth every penny paid.
They say the Italian craftsmanship and quality on this stroller is really apparent and the stroller fabrics are super soft and comfortable—and machine washable!
But, what is really winning over users is the easy to do one handed fold and unfold that they say is as easy as the fold on the Baby Jogger City Mini.
However, unlike the City Mini, the Trilogy City locks automatically when folded and stands up on its own. (The new Baby Jogger City Mini now also comes with an automatic lock).
The fold on the Trilogy City is very compact and this stroller takes up almost no room in even small car trunks.
And, even though Trilogy City stroller doesn’t have a handle like the Inglesina Zippy, it is still easy to grab the stroller frame and carry the folded stroller.
Moms can walk with the stroller in one hand and their baby in the other. The Inglesina Trilogy City is that simple and light!
Users can’t believe what a smooth ride the Trilogy City provides even though it doesn’t have air filled tires and this great suspension is thanks to the ball bearings added to each of the stroller’s four wheels.
The stroller gently glides along with minimal pushing.
The Inglesina Trilogy City also “turns on a dime” and has a nice tight turning radius making it a great choice for navigating narrow and crowded spaces.
The stroller’s front swivel wheels can be locked, helping the stroller to maneuver over grass, dirt and light gravel (although this is not an all terrain stroller).
The stroller’s narrow frame means it can fit between clothing racks in department stores but the stroller seat is still roomy and comfortable for toddlers.
The Inglesina Trilogy City comes with a generous canopy that has a built in pull out visor for very sunny days and has an adequate storage basket that will fit a medium size diaper bag.
The lever recline bar on the seat is much easier to use than strap reclines and the stroller seat can lay almost flat.
Although the handle bar is not adjustable, it is positioned at a good height for taller parents and its one piece construction makes it perfect for one handed maneuverability.
The 5-point harness straps are easily adjustable and the stroller comes standard with a parent cup holder and rain cover.

Inglesina Trilogy City Stroller Review :- Summary
There are almost no negatives for the Inglesina Trilogy City stroller.
Some users wish the stroller was a bit lighter and everyone would love to see Inglesina redesign the handle bar so it was adjustable.

In summary, the Inglesina Trilogy City is a great stroller, especially for city dwellers.
