Stroller advice: Citi mini vs Britax B-agile

[Lupeix]

Thanks to AA not allowing strollers over 20 pounds I am on the look for a good travel stroller that I can check at the gate but also maneuvers well.
I need to use it for a couple of trips before Disney, and DD will be almost 5 months on her first trip
I need something that can recline fully to accommodate an infant, folds with on hand, can seat a heavier kid if neccesary (DS is 4) and has a good canopy.

Albee baby is having some sales right now for both the Britax B-agile and the Citi Mini.
Anyone has thoughts on which one to get?
they seem very similar to me

We rented the Mini at Disney last year and fell in love with it. We have so many friends that have the Mini too and rave about it. I wish I would have bought it instead of the Graco we have now.

We have the City Mini and we love it. It travels very well for us.

I checked out the B-Agile and it just seemed more cheaply made if that makes sense. Like the handlebar for instance...the b-agile has that cheap foam covering it that I am certain would eventually wear down and tear. The city mini handle is way more rugged.

I LOVE my b-adgile. It comes with the adapters for baby buckets, has a more rugged ripstop fabric, 16lbs, and turns on a dime. Oh, and the back axle bar is curved, so you don't knock your feet on it (my DH and I have long legs and long strides). You also don't see them everywhere at Disney, like you do with the minis. Britax makes some nice accessories too - but keep in mind that the cup holder is pointless. Get the fabric console, or maybe a Dino console.

Some tips: I rotate my tires so the won't get so over used. I also bought a second set of them, in case.
To combat the handlebar issue (not that there was one, but foam is foam, and this is FL, home of humid heat ruining everything!), I knitted a little cover for it. Just a straight bit of knit, simple, that I sewed around it. Problem solved!
Also, the stroller comes in pretty colors, which make it easy to pick out from the crowd.
Only drawback - it has a small basket. I can live with that. We downsized to a Summer Stroller, and the basket difference is amazing. But I can live with it.

I really think it's a good stroller. With regards to the handle bars and foam, I would knit or get covers for any stroller I have. Like "stroller mittens ".
