*GIVEAWAY* The Baby Jogger City Elite/ Summit – Take 2010

Posted on September 27, 2009 in Baby Industry Updates, GIVEAWAYS, New Products, Stroller Accessories, Strollers, Trade Show Updates by admin88 Comments »

Baby Jogger has cooked up lots of changes for the Baby Jogger City Elite and Summit stroller lines for 2010. The 2010 models are slated to arrive in January 2010 to greet the new year and this is what you can expect to find.

Baby Jogger Stroller 2010 Changes:

1) They moved the City Elite footbrake to be a hand-level brake (this is great because it allows #2)

2) All Baby Jogger models will now fit a toddler wheeled board – FINALLY! This includes the City Mini and the Summit XC and the City Select!

3) City Elite models will have air chamber tires – this means no pumping or maintenance

4) Baby Jogger will have a special 20th anniversary performance Series Stroller

5) Baby Jogger will introduce a light fixed wheel running stroller with 16″ wheels called the FIT priced at a low $299

6) The Red/Black City Elite color will become Crimson/Grey (stunning) and the Royal/Black City Elite color will now be a Sky Blue Sport (Very attractive and a lot less bold).

7) The City Micro will get a bright flame Red color.

Lastly but probably most popularly, Baby Jogger will roll out City Minis with larger baskets in 2010. It will be a rolling change which means if you ask us whether it has the bigger basket we won’t be able to tell since SKUs won’t change but it should be on all models in Jan/Feb 2010. YAY!

A few things we didn’t love:

1) The City Elite single got 2 lbs heavier. Due to the air-chamber tires and the handbrake. We assume the double got heavier too but we have not weighed it.

We had to separate out all the Summit changes since they rocked!

Why the Summit XC can finally compete with the BOB:

- Baby Jogger gave the Summit XC a handbrake! So there is now an awesome swivel wheel stroller on the market for all of you hill dwellers who have been begging for one.

- Baby Jogger moved the same nice arched canopy from the City Elite models onto the Summit XC models. We did notice it had 1″ less height than the City Elite models though.

- Baby Jogger lowered the fixed handlebar height to make it more comparable to the BOB Revolution height, thus fitting shorter parents better.

- Baby Jogger’s addition of the handlebar brake allows it to fit taller parents better since they can’t kick the brake by accident.

-Baby Jogger increased the recline on the Summit to be almost full.

- Baby Jogger changed the wheel to be 3 branched spokes which they assured us was the best tire construction and would eliminate the wiggling tire rotation that some Summit users experienced in the past.

- Baby Jogger is NOT raising the price at all of the single or the double or triple!

Congrats on some nice upgrades!

Finally our we adored this product GIVEAWAY.

Not only did Baby Jogger turn their city mini parent console into a universal parent console to fit all strollers (coming 2010) but they also added an AUDIO version that can hook up to an ipod/iphone/MP3 player to a speaker for music to push by anywhere you go! WOW! You can even face the speaker towards you for your enjoyment or towards your baby/toddler if you want to keep them happy (Raffi) or make them smarter (Baby Einstein).

We adored this so much that we immediately asked Baby Jogger to offer up one to our dedicated blog readers and they agreed! Although this product is not out until Jan, 2010, through Oct 3rd 2009, you can enter to win the Baby Jogger Universal Parent Console with MP3 Output as soon as it is available for purchase!

I am a mom of two and have stroller envy like no other. I spend mucho time researching different strollers and always seem to settle for something not quite perfect for me and my ever-changing needs. Love love love the new city elite/summit enhancements. The best upgrade is definitely the speaker system/sound dock for mp3 players!!

**hope this is the lucky entry! since both kids (6wks and 22 mos are now both screaming at me for not giving them my undivided attention…back to work!**

on 28 Sep 2009 at 8:39 pm16Stacey P.

Wow – the wheeled board is great – can’t wait to see it in person. I became a fan on FB and I tell everyone at the mall who compliments me on my Indie Twin to check out your site (does word of mouth count for an entry?)

Just the other day, I was walking and thinking that I needed something for my stroller so the three of us could enjoy some tunes. I meant to come home and see what was out there, but I have serious “momnesia” and forgot all about it until I read this blog entry. Thanks for the reminder and I hope I win – my 2 YO and 7 week old definitely love it!!!

Thanks for the updates, look forward to seeing the new colors and the speaker is a fabulous idea!
on 28 Sep 2009 at 9:18 pm18Sharon

Oh goodness!! As a mom who has had an air tire BLOW OUT in JCPENNEY’s…(yes, while pushing 3 kids in a not to be named stroller–that I still love!) I am in ABSOLUTE LOVE with an airless tire.

It’s very very odd sound when an overinflated tire blows up. Much like a gunshot—btw…*not* appreciated in the shopping mall.

So…thank the goodness!

Love the new console, have a BJ Mini and this would be great. Love the new upgrades, the hand brake is brilliant!, thinking about the Elite for the Winter this year.
on 29 Sep 2009 at 9:50 am32Abby

Ooooh, I NEED a jogging stroller with a hand break b/c I like to roller blade while I push my baby (he looooves the fast speed and going down hills is a nightmare on wheels. I would love the BJ!
on 29 Sep 2009 at 9:59 pm33erica

i love the handbrake! i wish they didn’t keep coming out with wonderful new strollers, though–it’s all too tempting. i already have two, and i still haven’t found THE ONE.

love the MP3 idea!
on 30 Sep 2009 at 9:06 pm36Aura

I have to say the air chamber tires on the city elites. I’m forever forgetting to refill the tires and only remember just as we’re late going out and I can’t figure out why it’s so hard to push! The toddler wheeled board is definitely my second fave although honestly I have seen a lot of people use the valco hitchiker on the back of the baby joggers.

The speakers sound so cut–another great idea from BJ.

The handbreak on the Summit is a definite must-have for us jogging moms. Thanks so much BJ!

Love the hand brake

Love the baby jogger brand – hand brake looks awesome, would love a running stroller, just ordered city select!
on 01 Mar 2010 at 4:02 am76Tiffany

Looking forward to getting this, but wondering what it looks like when closed. Will it fit in the back of my Subaru wagon with a 65lb dog??
on 10 Mar 2010 at 1:50 pm77Mishelle sser

We went to the store to buy a single Valco Trimode, since we want to get rid of our seldomly-used Valco Twin Trimode. Then there was this Baby Jogger City Elite side-by-side with Valco. Absolutely love it! It has all the nice feature of the toddler jump seat yet it is soooo much easier to fold. When I used the Valco Twin Trimode,I was almost a unofficial spokeperson for it since I talked to virtually everyone passing me by. Now I am ready to take on the new title, “Baby Jogger City Elite spokesmom,” if someone would award me the job!!!
on 23 Mar 2010 at 6:27 pm78Kelly

I’m very confused about the tires on the city elite!! One place on the website says they’re air filled and anther says they’re foam filled. Does anyone know which they really are? Also, I’m looking for a stroller to go over snow and sand (living in Boston). Will the Elite do the job or should I go for the Summit??
on 10 May 2010 at 8:58 pm79Jody

For a first time parent cruising for strollers,this has come highly recommended by friends! Can’t wait to try it out with the new baby

I tested out a baby jogger city elite and loved it, expecially the big shade cover over baby!
on 04 Aug 2010 at 4:59 pm84Tanya

I was absolutely sure that I was going to go with the BOB Revolution, but now I’m leaning toward the Summit XC. Its new components not only allow it to compete with BOB, but make it a better stroller, I think.
on 05 Aug 2010 at 4:19 am85Dominique

WOW! So excited about the Summit. I have been on the prowl looking for a stroller to accomodate my son due in October and my 3 year old son,who won’t stay in a stroller long. The platform is perrrfect! He loves to hop on the back of the shopping cart so I know he’ll be game for this…especially when I name it “his skateboard”!
