BJ City Mini in Stone???

Anyone have it in stone? Is it so light that it will show a lot of dirt? I'm set on getting one but I HATE the color selection. I like to stick with neutral colors. Like the black but it's too much black.... I think it would get really hot in the summer. The only other neutral color is stone and well it seems a bit unpractical. I could just see my girls climbing up getting in and wiping their dirty little shoes all over that stone color. Urg, what am I going to do.

Several months ago Albeebaby had an exclusive brown color, I should have jumped on it but didn't since my girls were just born. Now I'm completely regretting it :(

I have seen it in stone - and do not like it. A friend has it in stone and I think its still too dark - to the point that it shows dirt too much and would be too hot. She really regrets getting that color, but got a good deal on it used so bought it anyways.

Another friend has it in the green color - and it is perfect. Doesn't show dirt at all, and doesn't seem to get hot down here in Florida. Also very gender neutral so could be used for a boy or girl.

Really, too dark?? Is the stone part that dark? I thought it looked pretty light in the pics.

I have the Mini in stone and if you want I can take some pics of it later this evening so you can get a better idea of the color. I think the color seems a bit darker in person than it does in the photos shown on the online stores.

But anyway, I don't think the material shows dirt like other stroller materials do, but if you do get a mark on it you can wipe it down pretty easily. My son also likes to get in and out of his stroller a lot and I haven't noticed any dirtiness even when he's had pretty filthy shoes. This weekend my son was sitting in his stroller eating a burger and it wasn't until later that I noticed he had stuck ketchup-covered pickles to the inside of the stroller :eek:, but I had no issues cleaning the mess with a damp napkin. I love the material!

Thanks Meg, if you have pics I'd love to see them. How long have you had yours? I just hate when they look dirty. I have twin girls and have to get the double. I can only imagine how much wear this thing will get!!

Here's a close-up of the material:

My son always steps on the black part to get in and out, but the material can easily be wiped down if muddy shoes make a mess of it. We have yet to see any dirt marks since we bought it. We've only had it since last month, so we haven't tested the long-term durability of it yet, but from everything I've read it doesn't sound like the color will pose any issues with dirt. :thumbsup: I'm so in love with the material because our other strollers all have that canvas type material that shows dirt and is so hard to clean, I wish I had bought this stroller 3 years ago!
