b agile double vs city mini double

[theriviera]

has anyone seen a good comparison of the two? looking for a car double for 3 year old dd1 and 1 year old dd2. Dd1 doesn't really need to ride but i need a double...if i only bring a single then dd1 insists on riding in it. :rolleyes:

I haven't seen a comparison but have a friend with twins who has the b-agile double and I have a single city mini. I know she chose it over the cty mini b/c her hubby kicked it (my husband kicks our BJCM too) and the handle adjusted, she also loved the zip parts to access the front of the basket. I think I would choose the b-agile too but I already have the city mini now.... :) HTH

I actually watch both of Baby Gizmo's videos and got the following info:

B-agile:
30.5 wide
11.5 wide seats
18 inch seatback
26 to canopy
automatic lock
WAY easier to access basket
adjustable handle that has a middle V that lets you steer one handed
No bar to kick (and no brake to kick)
Only comes in 2 colors
6" front wheels
9 1/2 inch back wheels

City mini:
29.5 wide
12 wide seats
19 inch seatback
26 to canopy
HUGE bar in the middle that makes the basket hard to get to
HIGH handle bar (the reason I sold mine, It wasn't comfortable for me at 5'2")
Comes in several colors
All wheels are 8"

Right now the price is about the same. If I get one, I'm going for the agile because I already owned a city mini and found it a little hard for me to push because of the handle height and the basket was IMPOSSIBLE to get into if someone was sleeping. I also appreciate an automatic lock that I don't have to mess with.

The canopy, fold, mesh square for "breathability", recline are all about the same.

The new BJCMD that comes out in Sept is going to have an easier to access basket and automatic lock.

I ave a single B Agile and don't really like it. I test drove both the double b agile and city mini double and thought the city mini seemed sturdier and easier to push. However, I am waiting for the new model to come out next month.

Haha, my kids are exactly the same! Even at 5 and 3. My 3 yo needs a ride at the end of long trips, and if she gets a seat, then my 5 yo wants one too. I got my bjcmd because they kept fighting who got to sit and who got to ride the board. I love my bjcmd, but I've never pushed the britax. I'm 5'9 and kick it occasionally, but I've just learned to adjust my stride. I have to do that when pushing a stroller with a board attached.

i'm tempted to get the b-agile because i own a bjcm and i want to try something new :bag

does anyone know how the weight compares? i had a b ready but sold that because it was way too heavy to get in and out of the car.

I believe the BJCM is 27 pounds and the b-agile is 28.
