as this was my 8th pram for my 7 month old son i hoped that this would be the last .... i love it and wish i got it in beginning but i overlooked it totally because i wanted a Quinny Zapp so i looked the part. i went and looked in a few baby shops for quinnys and was told they didnt sell as they were not good for babys spine development. im kicking myself as the city mini is the pram they tried to sell me but being defiant i got a quinny online instead.after various buggies and other 2nd hand prams i came across the city mini.it looked fab
* the recline is fantastic any position you want
* the harness straps are a pain to adjust but dont move once set up so not really an issue
* a simple break that works well
* the new improved model has a massive basket
* the hood means you dont need a sun brolley
* BEST FOLD I HAVE SEEN ON A PRAM you can see videos of it on youtube
mine cost 195 for pram with raincover and i got the funky orange and grey
it is annoying that you have to buy everything seperate but if you shop around you can get some good deals (kiddicare do one called CITY METRO same pram but different colours (specially for Kiddicare) and some of those you can get for £150 so there are bargains to be had
i honestly havent got a bad thing to say about this fab pram will not swap
these are what i have had:
quinny zapp -not good for use without car seat no recline
Mamu buggy - broke on holiday (airports)
Hauck infinity- nice pram looks fab too bulky
massive 3 wheeler(cant remember what make)- too big v long hard to fold wont fit in car
tutti Bambini- nice pram difficult fold
quinny buzz - prob isnt but feels flimsy
Britax visio - loved this but too narrow for my son now very solid
and my very last pram the fantastic easy to fold city mini
