Wow, this has been in the works for so long I totally forgot about it. Too bad for Baby Jogger that I want a free rider now!

How will this work with the City Mini? I tried the Valco HH on a Mini and it didn't work. There wasn't enough room for DS to put his head in front of the handlebar and, when his head was behind the handlebar, I could JUST manage to reach the handlebar. And I'm 5'5" with pretty long arms. Any idea where the rider's body is supposed to go?

It won't work any differently then the Valco. My son managed to get his overly large Melon inside the handlebars. Looking at pictures of my son on the valco you can still seem some frame on my stroller. I didn't have any issues folding it though like someone else did earlier this week.

However in this picture you can see that the canopy is up so high you can't see the frame.

But in this stock photo of the stone, the canopy is low again like mine...

Oops, sorry for the duplicate posts!

The BJCM I tried with the HH had a canopy like the first picture. Hmm. It looks like your DS fits way better since he's taller. My DS1 was able to fit his head through but his neck was right at the top of the canopy so when he is pushed into the stroller a bit, it pushes on his neck. I wonder if your canopy would be a little further set back so it wouldn't push into him?
