baby jogger city MICRO double

I am considering the MICRO double over the MINI double because it has a higher maximum head height (26" for the micro vs 23" for the mini).  My daughter's current seated height is 23" and she weighs 38 lbs, so the Micro seems a clear choice for her, but the lack of a full recline with an infant on the way is holding me back.

 Anyone have this stroller or seen it IRL?  Any feedback would be appreciated as it is difficult to find info on the micro.  Most reviews seem to be about the mini.

Also, I would appreciate other suggestions that I haven't considered.  My maximum price is $300 (the price of the mini double at albeebaby). 

TIA

    A girlfriend of mine has the micro for her 3 year and 7 month old sons. She loves it, but I believe she wore her baby until he was able to sit.

    The Micro won't work for a newborn because of the lack of appropriate recline.  So, it would be great for when the new baby is a little older, but you won't be able to use it right away.

    Here is a side by side- side view of the Micro and Mini.  You won't be able to use the Micro right away because of the slight incline.  The sunshade isn't as good on the Micro as well.

    Here is a video review of the single.

    I have the single Micro. I got it when she was about 11 months old. I definately would not use it before she had turned 6 months or so or until they had good trunk control. Also the straps even on the tightest setting are a little big for my 1 year old. Granted she is in the 20% for height, but still. There is no way she would fit it in when she was even 6 months old, unless she was large.

    Yeah I know I can't use it with an infant, which is part of my hesitation. I most likely will have the baby in my Ergo, but I like having options.  I can also get the adapter for the infant seat if I find I am really needing it.

    I guess I was looking more for other feedback about the stroller.  The straps only have one position and you can only tighten or loosen them, right?  Also, it seems like the seats don't have any padding or form.  Does your DD still seem comfortable in the stroller?  Are you overall happy with it?  Thanks!

    I know you are asking about the MICRO but we have the mini and LOVE it! I have a 2 month old and 21 month old, she's 32 inches tall and fits just fine in the mini. I would highly suggest it. The sunshades don't seem like a big deal but they are SO nice IMO when you are on walks outside or at the zoo, they help make both kids more comfortable. My DD can still see but the sun isn't in her face.

    I feel the same way.  I also strongly considered the Micro and I've even been thinking of getting the Micro single b/c it's so much cheaper and I sometimes just need a single.  But now that I have the Mini Double, I don't think I can make the step down to the Micro.  I didn't think that sunshade was that big of deal but DS LOVES it.  He thinks he's in a space ship when its all the way up.  lol.  And the full recline has come in handy for BOTH kids.  DD goes in it in a snuzzler but even DS and napped in it a time or two.  DS is very tall at 38" and fits in the mini just fine.

    Thanks everyone.  The more I have been thinking about it and talking to DH last night, I am going to get the mini. We are going to want the full recline for all our kids not to mention the full sunshades. From looking at reviews (both written and video) I think it will work OK for DD until baby #3 arrives, and by that point who knows what her stroller/walking preferences will be. 

    ETA:  I am just looking forward to getting rid of the monstrosity of the Graco Duoglider we've been using the past 2 years. Yeah for DD outgrowing it and giving me a reason to get a better stroller.
