britax b-agile vs city mini

I need a new stroller and I dont want to spend a fortune. These two strollers look great. Which one would you recommend and why?

britax b-agile vs city mini

We looked at and liked them both but when my husband walked with the city mini he kept kicking the bar across the bottom. The britax bar curves in so you can walk with it more easily if you have a longer stride. Other than that they wound up mostly equal in our eyes.

Re: britax b-agile vs city mini

Looked at both but purchased the B-Agile and both DH and I LOVE it!!! I did't feel that the City Mini had as smooth a ride as the B-agile. DS was 32 months and 35lbs when we purchased it. When I tried to push DS in the City Mini, I needed both hands but with the B-Agile, I can literally push with one hand if I need to. I also did not care for the rubber gripping on the handle of the City Mini. I like that the Britax has a pocket where I can put things. It's a large pocket actually.

The B-Agile has the same air circulation features as the Mini, similar wheels in size and both rubber. The B-Agile also has a very simple 1-hand close and locks when you close it. It's very easy to get DS in and out. No issues with the buckle. Also, it's easy to get to the storage basket underneath.

Personally, I prefer the look of the B-Agile vs the City Mini.

When I purchased the B-Agile, I got it for $188 on Amazon even though it retails for $249 at BBB. Price didn't factor into our decision (as I had already purchased the Mini from Amazon when I placed the B-Agile order) but it was an added bonus that the one we liked was cheaper.

I think, but not sure, that the Britax one has a slightly higher weight limit. Cup holders, etc are extra for both and both have similar prices.

I have the city mini..never looked into the britax to be fair. I will tell you that I love it! It is light weight and rides very smoothly. It is very easy to collapse and put together and is not too bulky. The 2012 has nice features, the basket on the bottom is easier to access and can hold a lot! DS has been it since he was 3 months old, and he is very content...he has also napped in it for 2-3 hrs!

I knew it was for me when after I test drove it in BRU.

Good luck!
