s/o City Mini and Micro strollers

I know these strollers get great reviews and I probably need to go look at them in person, but do either sit up at or close to 90 degrees?

We have a hand-me-down Metrolite which is fine, but Elizabeth is constantly straining forward, trying to sit up straight. It has a bit of a recline even at its most upright position, so she fusses pretty much constantly.

But she is in love with the six-kid bye-bye buggy they have at daycare and I think it's because the babies sit up at 90 degrees.

she sits up pretty straight. It's not 90 degrees though. I've heard that the snack holder bar is kinda placed up high, and not that sensible for a kid to snack cherrios outta, but I don't have that on there.

I'm getting rid of my Micro because DS is so miserable in it for that very reason. He definitely cannot sit upright in it -- can't move much at all. If that is a big concern for you, I'd pass on it... the Micro, at least. Maybe the Mini is different.

Darn. Good to know, thanks!

I just got my mini yesterday. It sits up pretty straight, i dont think 90 degrees, but few strollers do.

FYI, the snack tray for the mini is the perfect height for E

ohh - good to know, Skor.

BTW - the micro and mini are only different in that the mini reclines down more, the sunshade comes down lower, and there's strap wrap thingies on the harness.

Thanks all! I'll have to try and find one to look at in person.

Here's our current issue with the Metrolite -- she sits up and pulls the back of the stroller up with her. Doesn't look too comfy to me!

Andrew in the Micro.

the mini is also a bit wider than the micro. I didn't realize this at first.
