BJ City Mini vs. P&T Smart Buggy?
Does anybody have experience/knowledge of the Baby Jogger City Mini and the Phil & Ted's Smart Buggy strollers? I'm a new parent with a three-month old, trying to decide between the two. I live in the city and mostly will be walking on bumpy sidewalks, doing errands and the like.

I've seen the Smart in a couple of stores, but haven't had a chance to play with it. Personally, I've not been impressed by it. The seat doesn't look particularly comfortable; the surface is foamy, not fabric, and to me looks like it would be sweaty in hot weather and chilly in cold. There's no leg support, there is a foot rest, but no support for little legs that can't reach it.

Uh-oh, there's a P&T Dash in my living room - who put that there?

 It just doesn't look comfy / cozy to me. baby jogger or maybe even something different would be better IMHO. For such tiny baby as you have, I would want a cushy seat with soft fabric, you know...

I have the BJCMD and love it. But since you'll be pushing it over bumpy sidewalks, and not taking it in and out of cars, I think you should get something with all-terrain wheels like a BJ City Elite. My lifestyle is mostly taking the stroller places in my car, so the added weight of the Elite Double didn't work for me.
Arrivechi who posts here often (understatement!) swears by her Mountain Buggy. She walks around Chicago.

Yep, look at the Swift. Similar to the BJCM in size but has air tires!
