BJCS vs City Mini?

We originally registered for the DSNG and the BJCS. Well, we were able to get a double stroller at a yard sale for $25! It's a Kolcraft contour-which is similar to the BJCS. We also have a jogging stroller that a co-worker gave to us. It would be used for walks/jobs/zoo...but no shopping trips. We are wondering if we should get the CIty mini instead of the city select. We went on a walk in the Kolcraft the other day and the babies had to face out to not have sun on them, so when the sun shade was up, I couldn't even see them. We are almost out of the DSNG b/c their legs are getting too long to be in their car seats back to back. I figure that this issue will come up in the BJCS, but not the city mini.

What do you suggest?

Thanks!

    Both the BJCS & BJCMD have "windows" on the sunshades so you can peek in. The BJCS is similar enough to the Contours that in your shoes I wouldn't need both. I love my BJCMD for errands so that gets my vote. Or just use the Contours.

    If you already have a tandem, I'd want an SBS. I'd go with the Mini. We love ours.

    We used our tandem with the carseats but recently got the City Mini since I wanted a sbs.  Now, I don't think I will ever use my tandem again!

    I'd go with the City Mini.  It's really easy to fold and unfold so it would work for quick store trips.  Plus, it's great for longer outings too.  I regret not getting mine until DDs were pretty much out of stroller use.  I had a Phil and Ted's double that I really liked for a while, but it quickly lost favor when DDs were old enough to have opinions on who sat in front and realized the one in the back could kick the one in front.  The City Mini is also great because the separation in the middle of the seats is enough that it's harder for them to reach over and pull each other's hair (that was an issue we had with the Combi SBS stroller). 

    I guess this post makes it sound like my girls are mean to each other, but for the most part, they are pretty good and nice to each other. :-)
