Has anyone tried the Hauck Citi Stroller?

Just wondering. We need to get a new pushchair for DD who is one tomorrow.
Looking at this one as it seems fairly sturdy, we like the look of it and it's under £100 and we've spent far too much on DD's first birthday. Would love to hear some MNers' views on it if anyone's had one.

Do you think it's worth holding out and saving up for the BabyJogger Citi Elite?

Thanks all.

I chatted about this a while ago with someone because it appeared from some reviews to have a one handed fold like the City Mini (I don't think now that it does). I read lots of reviews and they all seemed pretty good - in fact really positive some of them. But then the person I was chatting to wasn't that impressed and put me off. I can't remember now why, but usually for under £100 I would have a punt on something but whatever they said was enough to put me off. It's probably not that helpful really to you not knowing why but I can't remember. I am sure if nothing else there is a build quality difference. The Elite in particular is very good. Plus you get a lifetime warranty on the chassis etc which can be passed on to someone else (worth knowing if you buy second hand but look out for the Elite on EBay which I am pretty sure is a classic not an Elite!).
Also, I see pushchairs as rentals. If you buy the Elite, I wouldn't be surprised if you get a good chunk of your money back as a resale - if you buy the Boots one you may actually end up in profit or the pushchair not having costed you at all - whereas if you buy the Hauck, I bet you won't get much at all for it if anything second hand, if it's fit for selling.
Personally I would keep saving or consider second hand - my city mini fabric showered down really well and looked like new and the warranty is there. The Elite is gorgeous and I would love one.
