I like your list!

I wish I could get the European Versa, and don't rule out the Easywalker June until you can see it in person (my dream stroller!). I had a German-made Teutonia and it was amazing, not sure about the quality now... I opted for the iCandy Apple over the Peach because the seat is bigger and it has rear air tires (and the option of a front jog wheel).

Honestly, I'd wait til moving to buy anything. They're going to have so many choices not offered here in the States, and I'm sure they're going to fit better with that environment & lifestyle.

I actually hang my bag off the *front* of the fastfold, otherwise it tips. Use a skiphop and attach it to the frame at the front. Love it.

I think the Peach seats would be too small for an 18 month old, but some say the seat is bigger than it looks. I'll just say I've seen it and it looks tiny!

Thanks we saw several strollers today and I was pretty blown away by the Baby Jogger line: the City Mini GT had beautiful handling, great hand brake, nice adjustable handlebar and that unbeatable fold. But the basket won't do, even with the new lowered U-bar. Just too hard to use.

The City Select was surprisingly appealing, with a great basket (love the accordian extension in back) and the ability to raise the seat higher. DH is convinced I should go with the Select in spite of the weight and width.

I was so blown away by the BJ line in general that I think I'll figure out how to get a European Versa. As long as I can persuade DH it's worth the wait and the hassle!
