Iv got my heart set on a baby jogger for dc no2 already got ds 3yrs so will get a buggy board for him as he loves walking.

But which baby jogger city mini, city mini gt, City elite?

Do live in countryside we go for walks but not always off road, but we also got out for the day at weekends so city walking and shopping.
We have a huge boot and storage isn't a problem.

I personally have the Elite as the City Mini GT wasn't around when I bought mine. Absolutely love it and so happy with it - we're in London and I don't find it a problem in the shops and love the big wheels. It is quite big and heavy and bearing that in mind, if the Mini GT would have been available when I was looking I probably would have gone for that as seems to tick all the boxes unless you do a lot of offroad walking.

We have a double mini. Think that was our only option when we bought it.
I would have the best suspension you can as it'll be comfier for LOs and easier on your wrists.
I do love ours, folding is ace, but it is clunky to push unless you're on a very smooth pavement.

Thank you I really need to have a look at them. We don't domicile off road walking if we did would probably use a sling

I have the mini (normal-4 yrs old) and currently using it for dc2. I've never bought another pushchair in all that time and I still have people stop me to ask about it. I bloody love it!

I have been 'off road' with it and although it wasnt perfect it was doable.

I bought the bassinet this time (hard carrycot) and still using it at 9 months (baby was prem).

Only negatives are that the bracket to attach things are difficult at first. But seem to have improved a lot.

TBH choose by your wheel size. It sounds like the GT would give you what you need TBH. If you need serious off road then look at the Elite. I dont get the feeling you need that though.
My only hestitation is that you may find it tricky to get a buggy board onto the back of any of these with a carrycot in place or with the seat reclined flat. The Elite would probably give you the best chance of getting one on. I tried the City Mini and it simply didn't work for us as DD couldn't get her head through the handlebar. I would have thought the GT was better but I was told it wasn't.

Have you looked at the Versa / Versa GT because that is excellent and a buggy board would fit better when the seat is parent facing?
