City Mini vs B-Agile?

CrunchyMaineMama · Jan 23, 2012

Any opinions? It will mostly be for DS (7 mos), but I'm sure DD (almost 4, 39" and 35lbs) will ride in it once in a while.
Important features for me:
easy/one hand fold
one handed steering
compact/lightweight
decent basket, but doesn't have to be huge, especially if it won't tip with my Skip Hop Dash on the handle

Will it really matter which I get? I love the green BJCM, but had decided to go with the B-Agile since I could get it at the trade in, but now with the BRU sale today I'm back to thinking I'll get the BJCM. Ah! Decisions, decisions!

The only thing I disliked about the Mini I used was that I kicked the rear axle. i find this inappropriately upsetting

The B-Agile is very similar, but the axle curves inward for plenty of stride room.

Oh the other thing would be an adjustable handle bar, but that's not quite as crucial. I am the one pushing the stroller 95% of the time, but would be nice for DH to be able to adjust it if needed. I'm only 5'2" so kicking the axle shouldn't be of concern for me. DH is 5'9" though...

My DH is 6'1'' and my bro in law is 6'5'' and both push the city min with ease. I suppose their long arms keeps them from kicking it? I dont have any issues at all and I am 5'4''. I recently got a quinny zapp and the handle is SO short compared to the mini! I dont find an adjustable handle neccessary since the mini is nice and tall.

I think the wheels on the b agile are different sizes. I havent used one but have pushed one in BRU. I didnt find it different. You can't go wrong picking based on color

I'm 5'3" and love the BAgile, its not too tall for me or too short for my s/o who is 5'7". My DD has similar stats as yours and rides in it regularly, she is 31lbs and it pushes like a dream with her in it. I also like how accesible the basket is unlike the bjcm.

I forgot to say my son is 29lbs and pretty tall for his age. He is comfortable. You do have to access the basket from the side but that isnt a big thing. I hang most of my stuff off the handle bar and have no tipping issues.
