BJCM or B Agile

hi ladies

I've narrowed down my 2 pushchairs but still undecided. Saw the bjcm at babies r us and it looks and feels great. i wanted to find the b agile in store but sadly nowhere near me has them. Do I take a gamble and get the b agile which is a lot cheaper? One thing that concerns me about the bjcm 3 wheels is tipping. I will most definitely be using a car seat on the pushchair and read here that it will tip. I bought a buggy bag by hamsters that suppose to stop Pushchairs from tipping will you think it will work for 3 wheels with the car seat on?

Btw ladies who want a black bjcm 3 wheels found a great price at boots. £179 using a 10% code plus boots points. Too bad its not the color I want. Any advice appreciated.

A couple of questions:
Could you afford the 4 wheel BJCM?
How tall are you?
Which of the car seats fits in your car?

The BJCM3 won't tip...it's safety tested...it can feel tippy in certain circumstances with a car seat on namely doing a very sharp turn eg pulling away from the car after dropping the seat on or coming off a kerb.

But that doesn't mean I know of anyone who has actually tipped it. I have heard of more 4 wheel pushchairs tipping with a car seat on.

I'm 5'5 and dh is 5'11. I understand the agile has a lower handle bar but I don't think it will bother us much. I've pushed a stroller with short handles before and it seemed fine.my biggest gripe is that the agile mesh panel in the hood, just wish it was the same as the us version.

I can afford the bjcm 4 wheels but I feel like the agile offers the same for much less. Who knows everyday I wake up and change my mind, beginning to bug my hubby.

For resale and blinking good customer service I'd go with a baby jogger.

There is a reason they are quoted as much as they are on MN. I have a city mini and its fab, can't fault it at all.

I have been happy with my b agile, there's nothing wrong with it and the build quality seems good but if you're planning on keeping whatever you get a good while I'd go baby jogger too... dunno why exactly!

I did it ladies, I ordered the black bjcm 2012 from boots. after much deliberation seems like bjcm is better and the price wasn't too bad either. I just got the boots parent club welcome pack and it inluded a voucher for pushchairs and car seats. Purchased the maxi cosi car seat as welI. I didn't see the black in person just hope i will love it in person. Now I can finally move on to other baby items on the list. Thanks ladies for your help

Im confused about the car seat adapter for a maxi cosi car seat. kiddistore shows the adapter having a bar attached and the john lewis one doesn't. are there two types of adapters for the bjcm? thanks

I have replied on the other thread for you. But for the record they are essentially the same.
