Has anyone tried out or heard anything about the new 4-wheel version of the City Mini? We registered for the original City Mini, and it looks like someone bought us this version by mistake. I'm wondering if it might be even better than the original? Their site says the 4-wheel design allowed them to increase the weight limit to 65 lbs but that looks like the only main difference.
I'd appreciate any insights!!

Baby Gizmo (who I love) did a video review that basically just highlights the changes

@MrsCB: Thanks! It looks like I may have to just head to Buy Buy Baby and test drive it since it's so similar. Do you have a 3 or 4 wheel stroller?

One of our local baby stores has this version and I gave it a quick push around the store this past weekend. My take on it was that it's not much different overall from the 3-wheeled version, but I personally prefer the narrower front end because I think it's easier to manouver in crowded places (also, I'm pretty sure we're going to end up getting the GT because the tires can handle uneven surfaces better).. I think people who don't mind having a 4-wheeled stroller would really like it.

@Cara M. 17: We have a four wheel b-ready and a 3-wheel b-agile that we got as an open box deal for traveling. I think your best bet is to try it out and see what you think :).

@MrsCB: You totally should do a comparison post on the two of these with lots of side by side pictures!

@T.H.O.U.: Haha, oh man now you're just playing into my crazy. I feel a little silly admitting I bought both, but we don't want to fly with the b-ready (in case of damage) and got a great deal on the agile.

@MrsCB: well it turns out they don't have one on display! We will probably end up exchanging it after my shower since we can't test drive it. Oh well!

@Cara M. 17: That's too bad. But to be honest, after seeing the video review I'm not sure if the extra weight of the 4 wheel version is worth the benefits. It seems like the only benefit is that you can use it a little longer, but you never know how kids are going to like being in the stroller past walking age.

@MrsCB: yeah that's what DH and I were saying too. Not sure we will still be using the stroller at that point, or we may need a double stroller!
