Baby Jogger City Mini or City Lite

[bowerpower83]

Hi there,

I'm struggling to decide between Baby Jogger City Mini or City Lite. Does anyone have experience of both or either buggy? I'm edging towards the Lite due to cost, weight and nicer look. Although I'm concerned about the harness which seems to be difficult to use.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Just to add - this will be a second, lighter pram for my 18 month old son and potential number 2! We already have a Bugaboo Chameleon which is now far too heavy. Thanks.

I'd get a second hand mini over the lite probably (or the zip if I was being extravagent!)

What do you think is better about the mini? I think the wheels are too small on the zip and the hood is a thin material. Thanks!

I think I was confusing the lite with something else, having just read a review it seems like a good choice! I generally like how sturdy the city mini is and they come up quite cheap second hand (I got one for £20!). I haven't found the small front wheels of the zip a problem even on fairly rough ground - it helps that the back ones are nice and big.

£20 - wow!! Can I ask where you bought it as I haven't been able to find any second hand?

That was an NCT sale but I've also seen them on eBay / gumtree - not quite so cheap easy!
