i dont know much about the city elite, but we got the strider plus last week and it is the shizz!!! i told DF i was leaving him for it i love it so much!!!

great big basket for shopping accessable from every side of the pram, nice big canopy, the whole seat reclines, not just the back part so bubs doesnt end up in an awkward position, and the seat is so easy to lift and turn so bub can be facing u or away from u.

to fold is so so simple and easy, same as unfolding it, jst lift one flap and it does it all for u! and folds really really flat, so would be great in a small car.

Anything else i can help u with let me know
