can it take a bassinet? Anyone bought one and used it and can tell me if it's still a nice push with it. Also, is it still nice to push with a toddler in it? Thanks!

IMO it's the nicest stroller. I loved mine & only sold it to buy it's big brother (City Elite) but I will definately get another.

My DD was in at 2 & a half & it was a breeze to push, just so lovely, everything about is excellent.

You can buy a carrycot for it from PLO

would you recommend getting a city elite and a quest (for the car/shoping trips etc) or just get a city mini?

If you're going to use it everyday I would recommend the City Elite as it has more functions & accessories with it & the phneumatic tyres make for a much smoother ride/push. It's not a big fold so you could use that for the car/shopping too. I'm not a fan of Maclarens I have to say so I say get a City Elite & a City Mini lol

I have some pictures of my City Elite here (my DS is 9 & a bit months in these pics btw)here

I love the BJCM. I have only used it with a toddler though as went through a vast amount of pushchairs before. My DS last used his when he was 2yrs 10months and 16kgs and it was still a dream to push then.

Nope - just camera happy.

I have a BJCM (its Normas old one actually) and I love love love it! I use it for my 6 month old DS3 and he fits in it really well. I would rather use it to a Maclaren (just sold a maclaren as it happens) anyday!
I can also fit my large nearly 4 year old in it without a problem, and it's light to push.

does it handle bumpy terrain better than a P3?

My DS is 3 next week and we use ours al the time.

It's the only one DS will fit comfortably in, it's so easy to fold and carry, and the storage is quite good.

It is okay on bumpy ground and the suspension is fab but obviously not the best for really rough terrain for that I would say get the Elite.

I wish I had bought this to start with rather than going through the other 5 only problem being you can't get a carrycot but can be used as a travel system.

HTH.

You can get a carrycot it will fit the Classic & Elite as you thought, if you check out the link for PLO (the one I linked to above) you can see the carrycot actually on the pushchair

NormaSknockers · 15/06/2009 18:53

Here you can see it on the City Classic
