so yesterday i purchased my first "real" stroller..Baby Jogger City Mini in crimson/grey. today i tried it out for the first time and i love it. the one thing i really miss is having a cup holder and a place to put a cell phone, keys etc...so i ordered the universal parent console off ebay (everywhere else seemed to be out of stock).
anyway, there seems to be a range of accessories for this stroller (rain cover, bug cover, carrying case etc), and i was just wondering what are considered the "must-haves". the snack tray seems nice for when DS get a little older, but after reading some reviews it seems like it may be too high even for a toddler. the belly bar seems to get good reviews, though then there's nowhere to put snacks, toys etc.
also, another question is where would be the best place to get these accessories? at my local Buy Buy Baby (where i bought the stroller) they mentioned they were out of most of the add-ons. i checked amazon and diapers.com and they seem to be out of stock for most things too (some of the ship times for amazon items were 1-4 months!).
eta: also, i was thinking about purchasing covers for the straps..don't know if Baby Jogger makes these but i've heard of other people using covers for stroller harnesses. thing is, my DH noticed that when in the reclined position, the plastic hooks are right next to DS's ears and he was concerned that it will rub against his face/ears when riding. any suggestions??
