RP from Pregnancy: City Mini GT vs UPPAbaby Cruz?

DH and I spent hours in BBB tonight. We narrowed down our choices to either the City Mini GT or UPPAbaby Cruz. The price difference is only $100, so it's not really a factor. Biggest issue for me with the City Mini is the basket; It is sooooo tiny! I love the easy fold though. The Cruz has a HUGE basket, which I think will be very useful. I'd really love to hear your thoughts about each.

I have the City Mini and after a few months we bought a new stroller. DD is so uncomfortable in it. When she turned 9 or 10 m and could feed herself, she couldn't in the City Mini because the snack tray was about as high as her eyebrows. And the small basket is really, really annoying. We can't fit our diaper bag in it so I have to carry it as I push her and try to look through store shelves at the same time... very uncomfortable and inconvenient. If you can afford the UPPAbaby and like it, I'd go for that one.

BTW, a "RP" means that you're linking to your original post so all of your answers show up on one long thread. This isn't a "RP"; it's just another post that says the same thing that's on the other board.

We have the GT. The deciding factors for us were that it was light and folded up easily. I also love the large canopy.

The basket is on the smaller side but I can still fit what I need to and I have a mommy hook as well. I also hang my baby bag on it, I dont need to carry it on me. From what Ive seen the other citi mini owners in my area do the same. obvioulsy you use your judgment about how much weight you can hang on it but it hasnt been an issue for us.
