Did you go with a light or dark colored stroller?
I am looking at the 2012 B-Ready (as part of the Free Ride promotion) and am waffling between the black and the tan (or *Twilight*). I really like the tan but am afraid it will show dirt too easily. On the other hand, I also really like the black, but have concerns about how hot it might be (I live in Georgia). For those of you with black strollers, did it show dirt as well?
Suggestions? Experiences?

I think those two extremes will show dirt and agree with the concern of a black stroller in GA heat! And also wouldn't the black show the red dirt prevalent in GA as well?

We went with black but just got it so we haven't used it yet. Hopefully it won't be too hot in Kansas.

@RegberaDaisy: We're city folk - lol! 
We don't venture out too much where there is red dirt/ clay.

Our travel system stroller was tan and our umbrella stroller is dark brown. I've taken both to places that were dirty (country fair, etc) and they seem to show the dirt about the same.

We have black and gray for our regular stroller. We have a blue/gray/white umbrella stroller!

I was looking at that one on Amazon the other day and I noticed a lot of the accessories only come in black-- like the bassinet, and maybe the sun shade thing? That might be a factor. I really liked the navy, but wouldn't have wanted to put a black bassinet in it. (Um... also we don't have kids and are not TTC just yet

@MsLipGloss: haha - good! I hate that stuff!
Oh, our stroller is red and it does show dirt.

We went with the red UB Vista. We are team green so I wanted something gender neutral... but I still wanted a fun color. I LOVE the red!

i think the twilight is really nice looking, but i'd worry that the black frame would look beat up quickly, where if the silver frame got scratched you wouldn't notice as much. black would def be hotter, so if you spend a lot of time in the sun, that would be something to consider and even though black seems like it would hide dirt better, think about how black cars show dirt worse than white cars, and baby grime tends to involve milk and other light colored things that would show on black. maybe the silver would be the a happy medium.

We have a black britax, it's been used for 18 months now and it doesn't show a lot of dirt. The only issue I have with my particular stroller is that while the seat does come off, the seat has a board inside it that can not be removed so it can't be machine washed. I've spot cleaned it before with good results, though.

We have the silver B-Ready and really like it. The materials is a nice heavy fabric so it doesn't really 'hold' dirt if you know what I mean. I would love the twilight one!
Edit, the one thing I don't like about the Britax car seat that has a lot of black is that it actually shows more baby dirt like snot, food, etc.

Thank you for all of the input! I took the plunge and ordered the Twilight with the Chaperone car seat in Cowmooflage.
