BJCMicro on clearance at Target

[poohbear]

Dang. Thanks for checking for me. I appreciate it. Do you find the GT easier to push than the Micro? I won't be using it a lot. It will be for when my nephews are here which isn't that often because they live in Washtington and I'm in Texas, but it does happen.

I'm mostly hanging onto it in case my little dare devil breaks a leg or something this spring during baseball. He's too dang heavy to carry around everywhere.

Nope, definitely will not work. I haven't really pushed the micro because I bought it for my sis-in-law but I had a mini for DS. I find the gt to be a better push and a nicer stroller in general (I've also been considering picking up a bob motion because I'm a BOB girl), however if you're not using it that often, I wouldn't spend the extra $$. HTH!

Any body know how the seat back height compares to the graco ipo? or how tall the seat back is to top of seatback and top of canopy? Also, do you think it would work to hook 2 together to make a double for use about 2x a month, or would it be too wide/tippy hard to steer even for that little bit of use? What about the basket size compared to the graco ipo?
TIA

I can put mine together today and get some photos of it along side my IPO.

Does anyone else think the Micro has a much floppier seat than the Mini? I put my 3 month old in the stroller when we were out yesterday and she weighed down the seat so much. She didn't mind, but it definitely didn't seem as firm as my Mini.

i bought a micro for $99. all the stores here in NJ/NY still have it for $99. is it worth asking for a price match if I bring someone's copy of their $50 receipt?

I'm in NY and my two local stores went to $50 almost 2 weeks ago.

the micro does not have the seat support boards that the newer minis have. A lot of people are adding their own using cardboard, a plastic cutting board, or you can order a PE board from BJ

The seat on the Micro is a couple inches taller, the recline is about the same. I don't think putting two together would work, the Micro wheels stick out further than the IPO.. it would be very wide and awkward. The basket is the same size length wise, but you gain a lot of height (especially under the seat). On the Micro, the basket is still accessible when the seat is fully recline. The canopy is 2x bigger on the Micro and seems like it will stay attached if it gets yanked on.

Side-by-side (the back wheels are touching)

Wheels:

It's a little dark, but the recline and handles are the same height.

Canopies:

Seat height/harness (the harness on the Micro is easier to adjust, but the recline on the IPO seems easier)

Trunk space will probably depend on your truck. I have a hatch, so the Micro (assuming it will stand up) might take up less space .

Basket (I put a full-sized pillow in both, the Micro fit without much cramming, but in the IPO only fit half-way):

I found 3 in NOVA if anyone is still looking. They are $99. I talked to customer service and they're marked for salvage and they wouldn't budge on the price. PM me if you'd like to know which Target.

 

[Phineasmama]

Soooo my Target finally lowered them to $50! And I got the last one. Just couldn't pass it up at this price! Were they all grey?

I love how it's basically the same as the City Mini I paid like $300 for

 

[Phineasmama]

Also they must have gone FAST when they marked them down to $50, because there was a stack of like 8-10 strollers at $99 and no one was buying.

 

[Holly]

Yeah, they were all grey. There is a blue one too but it's online only.

 

[jkrkmama]

Ugh. So jealous. No Targets near me had one

 

[Judi]

None left at mine.

Total score!!! I have been to 4 different targets like every other day for the past month but it's finally paid off.

Totally just scored 3 micros for $24.99 each!!!

The guy rang them up and decided the original price was $99.98 so gave me 75% off that. Woot woot! I was happy at $99 but now I'm ecstatic.

 

[T4K]

Yes, Munchkin wins. AND she scored one for me.

No way! You win.

I used mine on Friday for school pick-up and the library. I love it. Almost as much as my Elite. The bar for basket access makes all the difference. It was absolutely worth $50, or even $99. $25 is amazing.

wow! gotta love when the employees don't know the product they're ringing up, lol

btw, there's 2 new micros on my CL, $125, and $150

 

[Phineasmama]

Umm yeah that is super awesome lol! I would have bought an extra one even at $50 to sell to a friend!

There was talk up-thread about the Diono parent console. Wayfair has a few of the stroller bundles (parent console, bug net, shade and hooks) for $8.10. Normally around $25 or more for the set, Amazon is currently selling just the console for $10 or you can pay $12 on Wayfair for just the shade maker canopy - so $8.10 for all four pieces seems like a good deal to me!

I originally launched Wayfair.com through CSO, so I'm hoping this link works to give CSO credit...

ETA: I think these are gone now.

 

[Little Ps Mama]

I got one for $50.04 + tax on Saturday! So glad I held out when they were $99.

Does anyone have a picture of the new micro and the mini side by side. Does the micro fold slimmer??
