OT Stroller Question - Baby Jogger City Mini

[tigger2on]

Looking for pros and cons of the Baby Jogger City mini twin stroller...
Trying to figure out if this is the best one for us!

I have one, but it's not my main stroller to use with my 9 month old twins.

Pros:
- relatively lightweight (25 lbs?)
- easy fold
- good ventilation
- great hood/canopy
- roomy seats
- easy to steer
- better for older babies, toddlers-- seat seems very tall
- full recline
- fits through doorways

Cons:
- must purchase "belly bar" and other accessories separately
- wide, bulky
- opens easily when closed (there's a hidden velcro strap to hold it closed, but I just found out about it and haven't found the strap yet)
- slippery fabric-- the babies seem to slide forward and the crotch strap is constantly pressing on them
- smallish basket

Overall, I do like the stroller and I can't wait to start using it. I don't know if I'd bring it to Disney with us any time soon. It seems like it'd be difficult to handle on the bus.

I like the looks of this stroller. How well does it fold up? I can't find any pictures.

You can see it folded here-- a woman is standing with it folded in the middle of the page:

You can also view the video, showing all the features-- the link is on the right side. It shows how the stroller folds.

The link below is one that has been around on OSR who rents the BJCM. It is a review from another poster and is great. Not an issue on the bus for us. We used them in August and are using them again in March.
