Baby Jogger City Mini or Concord Neo?

[PassthePercyPigs]

Hi ladies, getting increasingly bored/frustrated/murderous in my quest to find the right buggy for DC (due early September). Having been through the options of the Bugaboo Cameleon & Bee; iCandy Peach & Cherry; Mothercare own barnds and Phil & Teds we heard about the Baby Jogger City Mini which sounded perfect as we live in a first floor flat and it's wonderfully light and easy to fold. But I went to see it and don't like that I can't have the baby facing me and that it doesn't have an adjustable handle bar (my hubs is pretty tall). Also wondered how robust it would be.

I found out about the Concord Neo and it looks and sounds fantastic as I can have the baby facing me, although it's a bit heavier than the Baby Jogger and more expensive and I've read some bad reviews about the brakes... does anyone know anything about either of these buggies? I'd like to get something that isn't going to mean I have to buy a McLaren when the baby's 6 months old... any help gladly received!

Baby Jogger is fab - I love it and can't say enough about how fab it is!! Don't know how tall your hubby is but the handle is high compared to other buggies. I think it's pretty robust and you definetly won't need a McLaren at 6 months. If I had my time over, I'd have bought this and a sling instead of the pram we did have first time round. Though, I didn't consider the "facing me" question.

Thanks MistyB - great to hear from someone who has one of these. Saw the Concord today and just seems to be a bulkier version of the Bugaboo Cameleon so I reckon we'll go for the Baby Jogger as all the reviews say how fab it is. I'll definitely get a sling to start with, too.

Have you been on the slings / baby carrier section? I would say, use a sling instead of a portable car seat. Car seats are heavy!! -
