Need City Mini Help stat!

I just ran to BRU from work, and they have a city mini that I may exchange my Joovy kooper for.

I need the pros and cons...I know the fold is easy, and love the sunshade

BUT..concerned about no parent cupholders, and that the recline is not 90 degrees....

Going back right after work to do the exchange...I need to either keep the Joovy, or buy the city mini....

THANKS!!!

I don't know about the single - I have the double. I like that it's manageable and folds well, but my 2-yr old hates that he has to sit back. He has about a 15-minute limit before he's kicking and itching to get out and he is constantly leaning forward to see what's going on.
I bought a cup holder to attach to it - but I haven't tried it out yet.

I dont have either but whichever has the best recline I would opt for that - my sister has a maclaren that does not recline and she has just bought a new stroller with the recline feature purely because the other one is not comfortable for her 2 year old.

Get it! And get the parent console (which has cupholders and other storage compartments). DD isn't bothered by being able to sit all the way straight up. Love it.

ive been actually saying i really want to get the citi mini bc how light it is and how easy it is to fold, but i didnt know they cant sit all the way up. Michael loves to sit up and look at everything.

Thanks! She thought she could fit that in her mouth I guess. Chat Icon

You can get the parent console at BuyBuyBaby or buy it online through BRU.

The pros of the city mini:
Enormous sunshade
folds easily
glides really nicely
has a million accessories you can buy
reclines fully back


Cons:
Child can not sit upright completely(this was the deal breaker for me, Santino already likes to sit completley up or he is doing situps to see what is going on, I know that as he gets older he would hate the slouch!)
Not small/sleek for stores and restaurants


I responded to your other post about the Mclaren Techno XT...I LOVE it.
