I want to upgrade my BJCM

ntrenary · Apr 9, 2010

But, now I wish I just bit the bullet and bought the BJCE.

Does it really have a parent console w/ cup holders? If so are the cupholders any good? It says it has one, but I can't find a site that actually shows it.

What's the raised kicker plate? Is it like a foot rest that moves up and down? I really wish the BJCM had that. My son looks so uncomfortable when he's sleeping and the seat if laying flat, but his legs are dangling down.

Does the stroller lock right when you fold it? OR does it have one of the hinge locks that you have to do yourself? I hate that about the BJCM. It seems like if your going to have a stroller fold so fast and easy it should lock in the folded position by itself like the Mac.

It has a parent console with lots of different pockets, some of which you can slot a cup into somewhat precariously. They aren't really cup holders. I think a lot of people use the SKJP buggy buddy with it.

The kicker plate is a foot rest so his feet won't dangle. But the seat on the BJCE is so deep that my kid's feet don't dangle anyway. You can also access the basket by lifting this foot rest, which is the easiest way to access it since it's not very accessible from the back.

The BJCE doesn't really have any kind of lock. It doesn't even have a hinge lock like I understand the BJCM does. It has a strap that you could possibly tie around, but the instructions don't explain how. This annoys me about the BJCE, but most people don't seem bothered by it. They just lie it down flat so that it is closed by gravity.
