I had my kids 22 months apart and was really happy with the baby jogger mini. Its not outrageously priced and really worth it. I wouldnt say its so easy to push two kids in it but was actually not bad. I work every day and really used it. By the time your baby will really be heavy you wont need it anymore.

I would definately reccomend this stroller.

hey,
I have the citi mini double. its amazing, so easy to fold and I find it very easy to push even with 1 hand. my sons are 22 months apart.
the only down side I find is the basket underneath is slightly difficult to get to when kids are in it.
apart from that I would deff recommend it

My kids are nineteen months apart and I have the city mini double. I really like it, its easy to push, folds nicely, and has a great hood. The only downside that someone mentioned was the basket. Its very hard to use and I usually just end up putting things on the mommy hook. Bshaa Tova

Not OP but just wondering: What's the mommy hook? Does it come separately? Could someone link me to where to buy it?

I have the city mini double for my kids who are 19 months apart. I really like it, it has a great hood, easy to push, folds nicely, and is not too heavy. The only downside that someone mentioned was the basket. I find it impossible to put anything down there so I just use my mommy hook. Bshaa Tova

According to google:

Baby Jogger City Mini (2010)
For 2010, very little has changed on the popular Baby Jogger City Mini:

1. The underseat basket is bigger, a change that is appearing on models manufactured in later 2009.

2. Red/Black is discontinued, and Crimson/Gray was introduced in September 2009.

Great thanks so much,
The reason I asked is bec. I can get a better price on an older model -2009
and if there isnt a major dofference between the 2, I might as well save the 50 dollars.

I really like the city mini. need to get that mommy hook. The basket is awful. I also had the car seat attatchment which had its pluses and minuses.
