What color did you get? Does it get dirty easily (seen)?
Do you have a "cover" (removable covers that are sometimes decorative and can be washed)? If so, from where?

Re: British, and other City Mini users
I have the forrest green color- I had to special order it from BBB, since all they had was red, but they let me use the completion coupon AND the girl there waived the delivery fee (both things that they say they won't do when you get the completion coupon, but they work with you there!)
And, no, it has been everywhere and it still looks like new. It's a parachute type fabric, so i've wiped down any spit up or dirt with a baby wipe and it's like new.
I haven't bought a cover. A girl I stopped once at the Zoo (she had one in her mini double lol) said she got hers at either Baby Love or La Ideal and she could wash it! I'm pretty sure she said La Ideal... BBB has some, but they dont' look as comfy. They're also about $70 a piece :-/ The girls are pretty comfy without them. When Sarah was just born, I put a comfy blanket down while it was fully reclined and snapped her in. Wasn't as "pretty" as the fabric cover, but it worked!! Honestly, the erason I haven't gotten it is because it's sooo hot out, I would imagine extra paddine would just make it more stifling!
Mine is black and I love it! It still looks brand new. Like Jen said, the fabric is super easy to wash/clean up.
I don't have a cover, but if I ever were to get one, I would order it from this store on 8th street and 132nd ave. called Bundle of Fun. They do embroidery and make a bunch of other cute, random baby things and they do custom stroller covers. I bet you could find really cute things on Etsy too.
Thanks ladies! DH and I were considering the beige, and I was scared that it would get dirty quickly! LOL Plus, SIL had a cover (which was gifted) for her stroller and I was in love with it! It was fancy with lots of embroidery; I thought it was pretty when going to special events... but at $70/ea, not sure if that is worth it! LOL
Thanks Jen for the store rec... will have to check them out to see what they offer.

Oh, I know no one is looking at the damn stroller, but I am! LOL i guess I was thinking about the Baptism for some reason, and wanted them to look more "elegant" w/ a fancy stroller cover. WAY looking into things, I know. You can beat me over the head now. I had no idea they cost that much. At that price, I'll be saving the $ for diapers and essentials. LOL

We have a red City Elite. It still looks great. I'm really happy with it. I think it's really comfotable for the babes.
lol not judging, trust me!! and hey, you could always drop hints that you're interested in something like that and see if someone gets it for you at your shower!!
Just an FYI: I'm getting the double with baby 2 coming and all of the online sites have it for $399 with free shipping (diapers.com, albeebaby.com, etc). BRU has it for the same price too if you wanted to add it to your registry. I did and am hoping that I can use the 10% completion coupon on it :-)

just fyi, guys: the ONLY coupons that work on babyjogger stuff are the completion coupons. BBB and BRU coupons say that their 20% coupons can NOT be used on babyjogger, bugaboo, bumblerides, etc...
also, if you go into a BBB or BRU to buy the stroller before your completion coupon comes it (b/c it comes in like 2 months AFTER the date you put on the registry,) you can talk to a manager and they'll give you a coupon. I've done this both times (uhm, and they cna't mark off that you received a completion coupon, so they still send you one in the mail... ;-D)
