Baby Jogger Elite or Versa GT?

Hello I really hope you can help me with my pushchair dilemma.

I have a Baby Jogger City Mini which I love but am finding it harder to push now my large DS is growing up (18 month old). It's hard going over anything that isn't super flat and is making my wrists ache a bit.

However I love Baby Joggers (the hood, basket, fold, build quality) and am looking at a Versa GT. I thought it would be perfect but now I've read that the Elite would be even easier to push? I'm a bit nervous about going for another three wheeler after the BJCM as I think it's the middle wheel that doesn't help the push. Would the front wheel wobble about a lot as it tried to find its way? I think I'd also like the Versa as the parent facing mode may come in handy if I have another baby.

I have a Quinny Buzz 4 (now too small for DS) that was lovely to push over anything - kerbs, forest tracks etc - so am quite keen on going back to four wheels.

I think I want the GT rather than the normal Versa as I like the look of the chunkier tyres. My real problem is I can't try any of these out as none of my local (East Midlands) shops seem to stock them. So if you have any experience of the ease of push on either of these that would be amazing.

Really hope you can help me! (-:

So... Versa GT arrived today and I love it. It's so easy to push, feels really solid and the basket is enormous. Love the wheels, whizzes over bumpy paving easily and was good on grass. It is a bit heavy to lift but feels light to push.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is folding it parent facing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Off to have another play with the new toy...

Glad you like it.
Folding parent facing - why are you having problems? Can we help?

I think I've cracked it now it just seemed a bit stiff and needed a bigger yank to get it folded parent facing. Me just being a div maybe? Thanks for all your help.
