I'm sorry, PP, but I'm going to assume you don't have much experience with the Uppababy Vista, because it kicks the pants off the brands you mentioned for maneuverability and durability. It folds easily, rides well, and is all around a wonderful stroller, with great rear tires and details down to the quiet magnetic check-in flap. It's an entirely different class of stroller than the City Mini GT. I understand people who take issue with the Uppa price, and its corresponding expensive accessories, and I respect those who just won't spend that much on a stroller. But pretending you "much prefer" a City Mini for any other reason is silliness. I'm not into status symbols. I don't wear expensive brand name clothes. My economy car is seven years old. But everyday, I am glad that I splurged on the Uppa. [/quote]

Not PP, but I like my City Mini GT.  We chose it specifically because it was the lightest weight stroller than had an adjustable handle height.  I'm short (and have back problems), and pretty much every single other stroller (including Uppababy) we tried had handles that were too high.  (Incidentally, that's also why my umbrella is a MacLaren Quest...which I happened to find for $65 on craigslist.)  I also have the BOB that's made only for REI...only BOB with an adjustable handle.  That said, everyone has their own needs and should choose a stroller that works for them.

We had both an Orbit and Bugaboo. I always thought the Uppa was a step lower.

We used our double city mini much longer than both the Orbit and Bugaboo. Many people use the City Mini as their go to stroller because of the one hand fold. You don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]
