Valco Matrix vs City Elite?

[MacMacMoo]

Okay which one do I want?

I need to decided this weekend, our mini is being sent back (the front wheel keeps catching in a locked potion whenever we try to turn left) and my in laws will be in town by next weekend. I know they and I don't want to be stroller less when they come.

I had not heard of the Valco Matrix! Cool stroller! Love the red one!

Have you see Strollerqueen's review?

I have a Valco Trimode and a BJCCD. Here are the differences I have noticed between the two brands:

Valcos

better built (I've never had to call CS)
look new after heavy use
plush seats and harness
include more accessories (tire pump, rain cover, bumper bar, newborn head "pillow")
have wider/better wheels
bulky fold
heavy (although the Matrix is lighter than the Trimode)
humongous basket
incredible steering
tallest seatback

Baby Jogger

quality spotty at times but good CS
awesome and flat fold
great steering but not as good as Valcos
they feel lighter probably because the frame is not as substantial
awesome canopies
better recline adjuster in the back of the seat
accessories must be purchased separately
seatback not as tall as Valco's but pretty tall

I :heartbeat: both, but if I had to choose, I'd choose a Valco over a BJ. Like I have said here before, my Valco seems indestructible. I think if a car hit it, the car would be damaged. :rotflmao:
