Added a new one to the fleet this week! We don't have a garage so it also required a change in our secure storage facilities. We love it. Q's review is that it is much better than a trailer because he can see, can talk to me, and it is less bumpy. Our new Babboe City with bike rack.  Q managed to find a good pillow.

Good thing it's got very low gearing. Very nice. Looks like drum brakes and a Shimano Nexus. Is it Dutch?

My wife and I have been eying the Babboe City for a while. I have also looked into the Larry vs. Harry Bullitt. I think we are leaning toward the Babboe City though. We are expecting in June, so we have some time. If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost with canopy? We would also need to get a Maxi Cosi.

We are expecting in June, so we have some time. If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost with canopy? We would also need to get a Maxi Cosi. The canopy was about $250. I would highly recommend it for an infant because they are so sensitive to weather. Even our 3-year old likes it when it is windy. You don't need the Maxi Cosi (although they sell them locally at Pacifier). You can use your regular car seat if you don't want to put anything else in the box, like a bigger sibling or groceries. We bought Babboe's baby seat (see picture) for our daughter who is 5 months. They have one for ages 2 to 8 months and 9+ months, although D will fit in the 2 to 8 month one for longer than 8 months old. She is in it in the picutre. I wouldn't recommend putting little baby in it until they are able to support their own head, like D. A bitty baby would be okay in a car seat, I think.
