Is the City Elite worth the extra money? We are looking at the 2008 versions of both, as they are on slight sales now.
I understand the primary differences are
1. City Elite is bigger- and heavier. But also might fit a child longer. A saleswoman said kids outgrow the Mini at 2.5-3 years, but fit into Elite for 4 years.
2. CE has a parent console, for the CM we need to buy it as an extra
3. CE has a foot rest
We have a 4 month old now in the Graco/SnapNGo and were looking for a stroller to transition him into. Primarily used for walking around neighborhood with some rough sidewalks and going to stores.
We loved both of those in the store- the ride, the compact fold and the canopy (live in LA where it is very important to have sun protection)
Or is it worth it to bite the bullet and get the 2009 versions? Or another one altogether?
