I did an extensive amount of research before purchasing my Baby Jogger City Elite. I had actually narrowed it down the the BOB Revolution and the Bugaboo Bee before I headed to a store to test both and decide. I liked that the BOB and Bugaboo products both had good reviews, but I couldn't decide if i wanted something more for light walking and compact (Bee), or if I could sacrifice size for a jogging stroller (BOB). After testing and going over the features of the BOB and Bugaboo I decided a jogger was best for me. [...]something comparable (and a little cheaper) to the BOB - the Baby Jogger City Elite. I like that it folds up easily, comes with cup holders, has a reclining seat, a large sunshade, pushes and swivles easily, and has an adjustable handle bar. Also glides over bumps, making the ride much smoother for my 5 month old (he would cry in the car seat and stroller frame that I had taken him for walks in prior) My husband also thought that the City Elite felt more more sturdy than the BOB. The only downside of the City Elite is that it is pretty heavy and I'm not a small woman - 5'9" and in decent shape. Although the jogger is large, it can fit in my Lexus RX along with the stroller frame and I still have a bit more room for a few groceries. I have used the jogger pretty much every day since I received it (sometimes twice a day!). We live in a suburban neighborhood and that is where I do most of my walking and jogging with the stroller. Highly recommend this stroller. Plus it allowed me to exercise and loose a some more baby weight."..." Read more
