Mini is in, so I hear.

A little birdie told me that the Baby Jogger City Minis have been spotted in our warehouse. These were one of my favorite finds at the ABC Show, with a winning combination of compact and uncompromising. The fold is outstanding, like all the City Series models. It’s just ridiculously easy. The footprint is nice – it’s small but it doesn’t sacrifice too much room in the seat. The weight is probably as good as you could expect, at just under 17 lbs. In spite of all the scaling down required to miniaturize this model, the best part is still the handling. It was really impressive, at least on the floor of the convention center in Las Vegas. The front wheels have suspension, which helps soften the ride without the aid of pneumatic tires. For newborn through 50 lbs. Suggested Retail Price is $199. There’s a whole bunch of accessories coming out, and a double version due in December, so watch this space.
