Anyone have one of these? I think that this might be my choice but I just want to see what others thing. A friend of mine has one and she loves it.
Also, if you have one, did you need the basinett to go with it?
Thanks

Hi Sue
I have the city elite for my DS. I was really hesitant at first, but the more I use it, the more I love it.
Positives- Very light, a dream to move, brillant to fold up and open. Sun canopy is absolutely fantastic, I love the holders up top, i put my phone drink and purse etc. Roomy for bubs, can lie flat or upright. (awkward to elevate baby when they are sitting in it, tho not impossible). Can have a toddler seat, I haven't tried it yet.
negatives, but i've learnt to live with them. - the basket underneath I thought was small, but actually can hold quite a bit, it's just awkward to get things into it (ok if they are soft things ie blankets clothes etc ). It does have lots of handy (but small) compartments everywhere. Not really good for big shopping trips tho.
When the pram is folded up, the inside of the pram (what the baby sits on) is on the outside, so you can't put it down on the ground if muddy etc, not that you want to but a limitation none the less. Sometimes I think it's back heavy and seems easy to tilt over, never done that tho. It's pricey but i reckon you get what you pay for.
I bought the raincover and bar. I bought a universal mossy net for $11 and it's great, better than paying $60 for one!!
I wanted the hard bassinett but couldn't justify the extra $$ when you can only use it once if your bubs are close together. The baby jogger soft bassinet i thought looked like it did'nt fit properly so we bought the valco brand soft bassinet and it was great when bubs was small.
Overall I am very happy with my city elite and I've recommended it to friends, (all the hubby's love the quick easy fold up)
hope this helps
Thank you soooo much for that nellsbells!!
