D'oh! I can't believe I wrote that!
No worries. Could happen to any of us.
She said she doesn't want a micro.
How does the micro compare to the mini? It seems like the tires are very small and wouldn't well for gravel/dirt/grass.
There is a great review of the micro double posted here last fall. That might be helpful.
A few months ago, I got a Micro double and Mini single. I haven't used the double much since it's been way too cold for outdoor activities and walks, but the little bit I used it before the weather got terrible, it didn't get hung up on the rough sidewalk and I was happy with the performance. Of course, neither the mini or micro are AT strollers.
I decided to splurge for the single mini because I use a single a lot. I didn't need most of the features, but I'm glad I have that huge canopy because during this especially harsh winter it helps to shield my little one from the bitter wind.
The basic frame structure is quite similar between the two. The main differences are the wheel size, recline (the mini's is much bigger, whereas micro is only for older babies and toddlers), canopy size (micro is about 2/3 the size of the mini), and the mini's padding. Also, it is likely the mini would be a newer year model and have the model year changes. The micros are 2009 models so they lack the larger underseat storage baskets of the 2010-11 Mini models and the PET boards and upright straps of the 2011 Mini models.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed?
I hope I haven't overwhelmed you and that this is helpful. If in the end she really wants the mini, I would look hard for a deal. If her baby is only one, she might be using it for a while and will likely get good resale value for it. I've seen people post deals on them here. HTH!
