Baby jogger city mini gt v baby jogger city versa v mamas and papas armadillo xt

Help me decide between these in the next hour (I'm at a baby show!)

I'm looking for a good strong buggy to last my 7 month old through to toddler hood which folds easily and can take a buggy board. I also want an adjustable handle bar since you need it higher when using a buggy board.

All 3 fold small easily which is what I want. They also all have adjustable handle bars, though am not sure the versa's goes up enough to be comfy with buggy board when seat is rear facing. The versa is the only one which parent faces too which is a bonus but it's heavier.

The armadillo I can take home now which is fab. It's £269 (usually £299). The versa & city mini have to be ordered (3-4 week league time) - they are charging £279 for the versa which is a pretty good deal as they retail at £399 ish and £310 for the city mini gt, down from £350. All prices include rain cover.

Which should I buy?

Armadillo Flip XT also parent faces! I think the buggy board may work best with the Flip.... But not 100% sure! Can the child stand between the handle bar and the seat on the Flip?

What did you get #nosey

These are all on my long -short list!

Opted for the versa in the end. Mamas and papas bloke (person I spoke to after posting) said he would not recommend Armadillo with buggy board. Mini gt is hard tl use with board fully reclined. Think I got the right thing but seen versa gt for not much more on Amazon with quicker delivery so I may ring the people I bought from at the show tomorrow and see if they have a price for versa gt

Good luck!

Just wanted to say after a lot of agonising we also went for the Versa GT. 3 months into using it and I ADORE it! Best pram I've ever used, pushes like a dream, goes over any type of ground and has enormous basket.

Hope you like yours as much as we love ours OP!
