Here's how to correctly handle redirects in a guard by using an UrlTree

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivateChild {
  constructor(
    private authService: AuthService,
    private logger: NGXLogger,
    private router: Router
  ) {}

  canActivateChild(
    next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
    state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable {

    return this.authService.isLoggedIn().pipe(
      map(isLoggedIn => {
        if (!isLoggedIn) {
          return this.router.parseUrl('/login');
        }

        return true;
      })
    );
  }
}

Big thanks to Angular In Depth for the explanation!
