City Mini GT vs. Britax B-Agile Strollers

Which would you choose if they would be relatively the same price? We have the Chicco KeyFit 30 car seat which is compatible with either stroller. We still need to purchase a stroller but I've been putting it off at this point.

Re: City Mini GT vs. Britax B-Agile Strollers

  • We registered for the B-Agile because we got the B-Safe car seat.  If I had gotten the Chicco or Graco car seats I probably would have gone with the City Mini mostly because it truly collapses with one hand.  I have also heard that the Mini is better if either you or H is tall (not a problem for us though).

  • We tested both and like CM better. It felt smoother to us and like it maneuvered better/tighter. I based our car seat choice on the stroller. I then chose the graco because the chicco weighed more and I know I'm weak and the one carrying him 99% of the time.

  • We decided on the bagile but also in the carseat. I do think the strollers are soooo similar that I would be happy with either. Price was a factor too though.

  • I loveeeee my Chicco Keyfit and City Mini! It is so easy to install the car seat, the stroller is easy to maneuver, and I love that I will likely only have one stroller since there's a car seat adaptor for the infant car seat. I paid $160 for the car seat and the stroller was a group baby shower gift.

    so glad you love it! I knew you would!!! I prefer the stroller over putting him in a cart because its so much easier to move around.

  • We have a city mini gt and peg perego carseat. I LOVE my stroller. The features that sold us on the gt:

    1. Truly one hand fold. It's amazing. And it pops right open when I pull it out of the back of my xterra

    2. It has a hand brake instead of a foot brake. I always stun my toes on the foot brake.

     3. The handle actually aadjusts vertically and accommodates me at 5"3' and Dh at 6"4'.  

    4. I thought it steered more easily. As in, we loaded it down and I ccould push and turn it other just a few fingers. 

    They are both good strollers. I might have been convinced to get te britax if we had snagged it during kne of their deals, but I am incredibly happy with the cm gt.

    We have the same combo. Super love! I installed the car seat in a car service today in like two minutes. And the driver was able to handle the stroller because I could say, "just pull that strap and it'll fold up for you." Awesome. We both the stroller and the car seat was a shower gift from SIL, who loves it and also happens to be a car seat technician.

  • We have the B agile and I like it. But, I never tested out the City Mini, so I can't compare the 2.

  • I love our City Mini GT, however the reason I picked it over the Britax was because of the color choices. I wanted green and Britax only had black and red I think?

    With that being said... the GT has been awesome! So easy to fold! The only thing I wish it had was a bigger basket. I just bought the "Mommy Hook" (hate that name) so I can put my diaper bag on it instead of in the basket.

  • I got the City Mini. I love it so much better than the b-agile. i feel like the city mini sits higher. http://babyjoggercitymini2014.com/city-mini-vs-b-agile/
  • I registered for the CM. we ended up with MIL buying us a bob revolution. Oh well. We also have a snap n go. I like both strollers. The snap is small which is nice for shopping. It is easy to get out/take down, so that has been good.
