New 2012 Baby Jogger City Mini GT!!

[dheinz]

Anyone else super excited about the 2012 Baby Jogger City Mini GT??? I think it will be my perfect WDW stroller!!? I am thrilled! Baby Jogger finally fixed all of the little quirks that were keeping me from purchasing. (Mostly, the height restriction). Yes, the price is painful now; however, I would rather spend the extra $ to get another year or two out of it!
With that said I have used a Maclaren Techno XLR forever!!! It is still running great, but with four kids I want to get that stroller open & closed ASAP! Nothing like trying to corral 4 kids in a parking lot while trying open a stroller.

AHHHH! I hadn't seen this but now I'm super excited! I have so wanted a cross between the Elite and Mini and they went and made one. And while $350 is steep for some reason I can stomach $350 over $400. I know it is only $50 but I have a mental block against $400 for a stroller.

We just bought an 2011 City Elite.... now I need to talk to DH and see if we want to keep it or wait and get one of the new versions. Ahhhh!

Have you decided? I spoke with Baby Jogger & they said the New Mini GT will be available in March. I really don't want to wait that long! I am thinking the 2011 Mini will go on clearance soon though.

Nice improvement, but wow, the price increase! When the Mini debuted just 3 years ago or so it was 199.

Waiting for a double in the new BJCM! That would be an amazing stroller.

Have they already announced it, or do you think they'll release one after the single?

We're going to stick with the 2011 Elite. DH really needs the adjustable handlebars and from what I can tell the New Mini GT does not have them.
We ordered the 2011 Elite through Amazon so we have 365 days to return it (and we aren't going to use it before the new verisons come out) so if they clearance the 2011s that much, then we'll just return and rebuy. I'm not too concerned about the color change for the 2012s.

I think it was announced with the Mini GT. If I remember correctly. The Double Mini GT will take the place of the Elite too.

OHHHH, it does have them! Not to sway the vote! I really do love the elite too! It was what I originally wanted!

I just saw that it did! I can't believe I missed that.

But we got the 2011 elite on clearance through amazon for $305 (they did a price adjustment for us since we had already bought it) so it still ended up being cheaper than the Mini GT. So I think we got a good deal.
