I bought my Arm''s Reach Mini second-hand on eBay - they didn''t stock them in the UK until last month - and so wanted a new mattress. The mattress that comes with the crib is quite hard and has a plastic covering and because it''s designed to fold up it has fold-lines in it. So, my new mattress is thinner than I would have ordered, but it goes on top of the original (which you need because of the wooden base in it) and makes the crib much softer for the baby.

Prompted by that Phil and Ted sales price, we went to the store today to see if I like the adjustable handle. But I still kick the stroller with every step. That's a no go.
Has anybody tried out both the BOB Revolution and the Mountain Buggy Urban Single? Thoughts on the two?
yay! sorry I just now saw this, were you able to figure it out, its a bit annoying as you have to release two little side buttons near front bar of the child seat ( I just bought a drink holder accessory attachment from Babology.com http://www.babology.com/product/B-TOR-CY/Stroller_Handlebar_Cup_and_Accessory_Holder__Organizer__Black.html (hopefully it works out). On of the reason why we chose the Phil & Ted, was because we wanted something narrow like the single, our toddler loves it too. I saw this stroller at Disneyland and thought it was a great small/big stroller to have, so compact for two. My friends call it the bunk beds for stroller...Date: 10/31/2009 2:11:24 AM

D&T I just bought that one from REI too! It was a good deal if anyone's looking for Phil &Ted right now.I just picked it up on Wednesday. I haven't figured out yet how to fold it up. I guess I need to watch the video online again.

In answer to my own question, we just found a store that had both the BOB and the Baby Jogger City Classic, and we prefer the BOB hands down. So never mind!
Oh, I didn''t even think of that! Another reason why this thread is great.Date: 11/1/2009 4:23:54 PM

I looked at both too and liked the elite but in the end went with the BOB. It is funny b/c at first I preferred the way the BJCE folded out but then realized how dirty it would get when traveling (which we do often). Glad you got to try them out first hand. That really helps!

The handle is on the seat and you lift up to fold. Like a reverse umbrella. Therefore the the front of the stroller is exposed vs. the BOB where you fold in half with the exposed part being the back and under the seat. Does that make sense? We have flown with the BOB and they do NOT care in the slightest so I would be nervous about stains and tears.
