 Fantastic Stroller October 2, 2008
I did a lot of research before deciding which stroller to buy. At one point we were between the Mountain Buggy, BOB, Bugaboo and City Elite. In spite of the fact that all of the other ones seem to be much more popular and that I was able to find lots of reviews on the first 3 and very few on the City Elite, we ended up opting for the latter one. I have to say that we are more than pleased with our choice. We did borrow a Bugaboo for a while and the City elite is much easier to steer and push. The truth is you barely have to push it at all because it drives so easily, you can do it with one hand and hold your hubby's hand or toddler's hand with the other one. This stroller has A LOT of storage space and there's even places for you to put your water bottle, wallet, cell phone, keys, ipod etc, easy to reach and included in the price (with other strollers you have to buy cup holders separately). The sun canopy is absolutely unmatched by other strollers and way better than the MB. We can walk facing the sun directly and my baby still doesn't get sun on her face. It reclines further back (almost flat) than the BOB, and it has an opening flap foot rest for when baby is asleep. Also, the under seat basket can be reached from the front of the stroller as well by lifting the foot rest flap. The stroller is very easy to close and my baby seems very comfortable in it. The seat is very easy to recline (much easier to do and better made than MB which you have to adjust on both sides when reclining, which makes it hard to get the seat to be equally angled on both sides) and very easy to pull back up. The sun canopy has windows for you to be able to look at your baby as you stroll, and it also has side windows that you can open for ventilation. The windows open and close with magnets so baby doesn't wake up as she would if they opened and closed with velcro. The City Elite is sturdy and well constructed and will last you a long time. I don't think it has anything to envy the BOB (unless you want to jog with it because the City Elite is not for jogging) or the MB which is much more expensive and has inferior features.
That said, there's a few things that I find to be cons with this stroller, but most of them are more of a personal issue than a problem with the stroller itself:
1)We cannot bring our diaper bag with us because we have a very big one and it won't fit in the under seat basket so we have to spread the contents of the diaper bag into the different compartments the stroller provides.
2)Child can only face forward so I miss out on looking at her beautiful face while we stroll and I still wonder whether I would have traded ease of drive for rear facing child as in the Uppa Baby Stroller, but this is just a matter of personal choice.
3)It is heavy to carry when folded so we use it primarily around the neighborhood, I don't think that I'd like to put it in and out of the car every day for errands.
4)It is super easy to close, but not as easy to open. It is also not incredibly complicated to open either, just not as easy as it is to close.
Nevertheless, these are very few cons compared to all the pros the stroller has to offer and as I said we are more than pleased with our choice. All in all this is a fantastic stroller well worth the price and I would recommend it to anyone.
 Great stroller to fit almost every need April 11, 2008

After much diliberation between the BJCS and the BOB, I choose the BJCS for its adjustable handlebar and easy fold. I have only had it a few weeks but am loving it over my travel system. It stylish, sturdy and can go almost anywhere. I originally wanted a jogger for real jogging but after trying to jog with a stroller realized I made the right choice cause jogging with a stroller is very difficult and the BJCS will suit my light jogging needs as well as being my everyday, everywhere stroller. I gave it 4 stars due to the fact they recommend you do not jog with it(you can with the BOB) and that the frame does not seem as tight as the BOB. But the fold and recline are both better then the BOB.
