Do you mean the City Elite, or the new City Select?

I am currently looking at the City Select, and I would def pick it over the Strider for me. The Strider is bigger, heavier and wider and also I think the wheels are too firm for my area (hilly and often unmade paths, and I do walk a fair bit)

But I think that is where you need to look at where you will be using it - long walks on rough terrain, or mainly shopping centre trips and visits to the coffee shop? Hopefully that will start to make it clearer as to what is more suitable for you.

Good luck - it isn't an easy decision, and it is a piece of equipment that you will use alot!
