What do you think about the City Elite Stroller? I also wanted to buy one but I only found a few reviews. Thanks!

I didn't buy it but I did look at it. Its very nice, we really considered it but we ended up going with the Uppababy Vista. Very comparable but $100 more. The main differences in my opinion are air tires vs "air bladder" (essentially light foam), no rear axle and slightly higher seating position.

note that the City Elite with Enzo is considerably more affordable

In regards to the review...

I'd recommend it...not very plasticy and takes only half the space on my outback. Easily collaspable and the adapter for the Perego Stroller is much cheaper than the bugaboo.

Back in Aug we narrowed it down to City Elite, Bugaboo Frog, Rockstar, or the Peg Perego Uno

Frog...too expensive
Uno...too much plastic
Rockstar...no Car seat adaptor at the time
...City Elite, for $450...it was an easy decision. Our price range, aluminum frame, car adaptor for $40, carriage was an option which we didnt need cause of the car seat.

Negatives?

1. no break system...lol we use our feet to stop...it's not like a bike...
2. stroller wheel lock is hard to disengage...wierd design
3. there is only one area on the frame that you can attach the cup holder...sometimes inconvenient when you have it folded. But we got it to work.


BUt other than that...I would recommend the CIty Elite

We have been looking pretty seriously at the Uppababy Vista... how are you liking it? It definitely seems similar to the City Elite...

Honestly haven't really used it. We bought it early, baby's not due yet. Everything looks good. There's no rear axle to kick if you have a long stride. Handle telescopes instead of bends. A good combination if you're tall.
Comes with rain shield and bug net (they call it a sun screen). Pram has a reversible pad with cooling net-like material or warm fleece. Definitely better than Rockstar but I would say marginally better than City Elite if you're ok with the wheels. The wheels are don't have a tube inside instead it harder like a foam but still rubber lined. Their pitch is that they don't go flat, no need to pump and is puncture proof. I'd say they're pretty hard but there is suspension in the frame. The seat can be rear facing but the pram is not.
I think its worth the difference, though small. My wife likes the colours better, we got the popular lime green and black.

I went to the Mississauga location about 2 months ago and was very disappointed. The place is quite small and lack of variety. I'm looking forward to the Samko Sping sale.

Need some help from those of you with newborns -- mine was almost 12 years ago & lots of new products have been introduced since then!!!

Invited to a friend's baby shower & trying to think what to buy her & WHERE! Older mom, first baby, large "formal" shower. I'm sure her "immediate" family will buy the necessary large-ticket items like stroller, crib, etc. -- these are out of my budget anyways! Plus, it has to be generic since the sex of the baby is unkown. And, want to buy it somewhere with a liberal "lengthier" return policy - ie, Toys 'R Us, The Bay, Ikea, Sears (any others?) - I'm sure running around to do returns right after the baby's born will not be tops on her list! Geez, I wish she had registered somewhere!

Two of the best things we got when my son was born were the exersaucer and a lightweight "carseat" type thingy that rocked, had adjustable positions & handle so baby could be carried anywhere/everywhere, even into the bathrool while taking a shower! Plus we used to take it everywhere with us to use as a "high chair" for feeding when visiting others. But they stopped making this years ago! The other thing was a "sleeping teddy" that made the sound of the heartbeat - what the baby hears in utero. I swear it was what avoided any colic - but, I don't even know if they make these anymore - not sure what the popluar "baby shopping" stores are these days!

Another idea was to pool with a friend & get a larger item, not necessarily for baby; ie, some sort of toybox or small storage bench -- need somewhere to put away all those little toys! So what if it won't be used for a few years.

What was the absolute BEST thing YOU got for your newborn that you could recommend -- around the $50 range and WHERE would you recommend buying it for a lengthier return? Thanks!

I picked up a City Elite (black stroller and green pram) not too long ago. It was last year's model. Service was excellent and he took the time give my wife and I a quick demonstration of the stroller.
