I noticed the lock too! Love it! Keeps it tightly folded but simple to unlatch. I believe the 2013 City Minis will have that lock also.

I just set mine up and took dd for a stroll around the house. She's 32lbs and it did seem a smudge heavier of a push compared to the BJCM and even our GLite stroller.

There is also NO hard back support like the never BJCM have :/

After I posted I noticed the lack of back support and I can't tell if the fabric of lesser quality or not. I have never really cared for the fabric on these anyway.

The lock was automatic

lol I kept trying to sling it open & couldn't figure out why it wouldn't open.

lol, this sounds like me

This thread talks about the differences and similarities and some people have said they added their own back support. Crunchy said she used a $2 cutting board from Ikea!

that's a great idea. I've read in different places of people using all kinds of things to make the back firmer (press board from drawer bottoms,corrugated cardboard) but the cutting board is a great idea. It kind of defeats the point of a good sale if you have to pay $30 for a PE board

she looks so happy!
that floppy seat back really bothers me though. I'll just have to get a cutting board, lol
for $99 I think it's a great stroller

It's not as cheap as a $2 cutting board but the PE board is only $8 + $4.95 shipping on Baby Jogger's website.

I keep looking at these when I'm at Target and wondering if I'd be crazy to sell my Callisto for one. I hate the tiny basket on the Callisto and mine is a 2009 so it doesn't have the sliding canopy anyway. The fold on the BJ is easier and more compact, but will I like the push as much?

I bought one today for $99, but haven't opened it yet. Our Target still has 9, so I'll purchase it again if the price drops more and return one.

I am very happy with ours. I can put it behind the rf seats in my second row and have plenty of room for 5 kids and groceries in my explorer. I knew I'd love it. I love my mini double so much, I'll cry when it's gone.

I am going to keep an eye out for another. I'd love to have a split double to use together with dh or keep one in each vehicle.

Has anyone seen or used the parent console or kid tray with this stroller or a mini? Is the tray worth it?
I will want a parent console, will I want the Baby Jogger one or something like the Diono one?

I use the diono one. Works perfectly.

Me too. I have two. I use one on the micro and two when I use the bjcmd. They are technically sunshine kids, but they are the same.

Holly · Jan 18, 2013

They hook on with velcro, right? Is it really strong? I will want tp be able to put a drink in the console.

I've had two venti Starbucks drinks in mine without any issues.

For those that have bought a stroller and opened the box, how does the Target Micro compare to the CityMini?

I've bought a micro, but it's still in the box. Our Target doesn't have a floor model out so I couldn't test it out.

The reviews I'm finding for the Micro are all for 2009-2011 Models and they don't look anything like the one pictured on the Target website.

love-pink · Jan 18, 2013

The 2012 micro is few bells and whistles short of the City Mini. Baby Jogger also told me via FB the seat is the same size. It's a great stroller and well worth $99!

Eta it's also very easy to pack back up so if I was you I'd take it out and try it out in the house and see if you like it

How did the canopy compare? Our BRU had the Mini, so we went and looked at it and then bought the Micro. I won't open it until after my ultrasound Monday

It's the same its pretty much the same stroller the wheels are just smaller.

love-pink · Jan 18, 2013

Same canopy. I listed some of the differences I noticed earlier in the thread

love-pink · Jan 18, 2013

I forgot to add earlier that I have had both the Buggy Buddy and the Britax organizer and they both are great

If you can afford the Britax one or want a covered center storage I would go with Britax over the Diono one. The Britax offers more space and is better quality. I personally like the covered area for my keys and phone so its not out in the open when Im shopping and it keeps everything covered if you get caught in the rain.

The Britax one is currently on Amazon for $19.xx, when I bought mine this summer I think I paid $30.

The three Targets nearest me all have 3-4 Micros left at $99. I'm hoping Monday they will be down to 70% off! Does anyone know if the Monday markdowns are generally done before the stores open? Just trying to decide if I should go there in the morning or wait until the afternoon. TIA

My target was marking stuff down at 1pm when they dropped to 99.
