We've just seen the City Elite for the first time today and we've fallen in love with it - what a pram!!! We were so determined to get the P&T Sport but the BJ Elite wins hands down. I know it's a few hundred dollars more but we're happy to spend that much and we honestly believe the features are worth the extra dollars.
We had our eye on the Mountain Buggy Urban as well but given it doesn't have a toddler seat, we scratched that from the list. I'm pregnant with our first child but we plan on having more children and it makes sense to get the right pram the first time round.
The basket is my only complaint as it's quite small but all the other features are brilliant - the ventilation windows (with the magnet system - great idea), the drink/keys holder, the adjustable foot rest for shorter kids, bassinet attachment and my fave, the easy folding system! What a winner!
I'm just doing a bit more research online but so far I can't complain. Yes, it's expensive (although the same price as the Mountain Buggy and the new P&T Vibe which we had also looked at) but I'm a big believer in 'you get what you pay for'. My hubby is just wrapped that I'm not interested in the Bugaboo as I tend to like the most expensive items!!
I was also trying to decide between the Mountain Buggy and the Baby Jogger City Elite. In the end I decided on the BJ City Elite. My main reasons were that it has a toddler seat whereas the Mountain buggy doesn't. I also loved the ease of folding it. The canopy is also fantastic.
For those that have already purchased the BJ City Elite, have you found that you needed the wind/rain and bug canopy?
Just quickly, we bought the City Elite too and although we are yet to test run it with our bubs (who is still baking), we're extremely happy with our purchase. We loved the Mountain Buggy too but the toddler seat, the folding mechanism and the various extras availabe on the Baby Jogger really sold it for us.
I also asked about the toddler seat with the mountain buggy because we are looking at having more children, the company said they are trying different designs now so hopefully in the near future they will have one to keep my pram i have
