We have the City Classic from 2008 and it velcros to the back of the stroller perfectly. The only problem is that it's meant for keys, cellphones and other small items, not a water bottle which was the main reason why I bought it. Because there is not enough space, it doesn't fit my aluminum Sigg, it only fits a plastic water bottle because you have to reshape it. If I had known this, I would've purchased something else.

We have the BJ City Select for our two kids - which we LOVE LOVE LOVE! Best stroller. I eagerly awaited the release of the BJ Universal Parent Console and desperately wished it would've worked on one of their own products. But, it just didn't. Awesome features include a great silver-lined middle pocket (velcro closure) for keeping snack bags cool with an icepack. Also, the right pocket (velcro closure) is great for keys, small wallet, sunglasses, phone, MP3 player and a toy. A design improvement could've included a zipper slot on the top outside to safely assurance storage of an ID and credit card and car/house key. But the design flaw that caused us to return it was the cup holder. Sadly, it was a disappointing feature. Nothing would stand upright and when you hit a bump, it always spilled. We tried Kleen Kanteens, sippy cups, baby bottles, soda can, coffee cup, fountain drink cup. Nothing worked because the slot just tipped too far forward toward the stroller canopy. So, we ended up returning it. bummer.

I went stroller shopping planning to get an umbrella stroller for under $100 and ended up "splurging" on Baby Jogger's City Mini. Of course this stroller comes with NO accessories, so you end up paying even more to add on items like this console. I thought it was a bit pricey, but I decided to again "splurge" on this item instead of getting a single cup holder for 1/3 the price. I figured this console has three holders, so it would be worth it. The compartment meant for drinks is about the size of a soda can and I have been able to use it with most drinks. However, the larger mini-cooler compartment can also be used to carry wider drinks like my Nalgene bottle. If my husband is along we can use the smaller compartment as a second cup holder too. Other than drinks, I love the velcro enclosures on the two compartments for storing my keys, cell phone, cash, napkins, etc. when when out for a stroll or shopping at the farmer's market.

There are three different positions for you to snap the handle straps back onto the console. The units fits well on a City Mini, but you might want to try this on your stroller to make sure this "univeral" console will fit if you want to use it with a different model.

Been using my console for 4 months. No visible wear. This product feels well made to me. So even though I originally thought this might be overpriced, I am happy I bought it!

I'm not sure what the other reviews are talking about, this console is great. It fits my City Mini perfectly and is a great place to keep a drink, your keys, and whatever else you want to keep out. Highly recommend!

I don't understand what the other reviews talk about when they say that this console doesn't hold beverages well! It holds my venti Starbucks cup, a pop can or any other size beverage perfectly! No spills or anything. I have a double city mini and it works perfectly. I suggest this product to anyone who owns a baby jogger stroller!

I had originally planned to use this product for my City Mini stroller but after only a few uses with drinks tipping out and getting frustrated with the lack of space for my keys, phone, and wristlet, I decided to do a little more research. While at a local big box baby chain, the sales person recommended the Buggy Buddy. I tried it out on the sample stroller in the store and immediately fell in love. The off brand parent accessory was 1/3 of the price I paid for the name brand. Even better. If you aren't in love with this product, you may want to look at the Buggy Buddy as an alternative.

This console is better than nothing, but given how awesome most of the babyjogger accessories are, this one is really lacking. It does the job- it can hold my phone, keys and a small bottle of water, but it's not sturdy. It jostles your drinks around; after spilling coffee all over the stroller when I rode over cobblestone, I've tried to only put beverages with lids in it.

this just doesn't really hang at the right angle for me to use it on my baby jogger city select.

I use my console all the time. I dont understand what others are referining to. It holds my water bottles and coffee cups great (the coffee sometimes spills if totally full which is why I only gave it 4 stars and not 5. I use one pocket for keys and the other for easy to grab snacks. I also use it as a place to put trash until I get home so I dont have to hold it. I think it is great and very useful.

I have the Baby Jogger City Mini stroller, which I love. I thought the parent console would be a great accessory. When I received the item, one of the snaps, that is used to attach the console to the stroller was bent, so it could not be successfully attached. Also, there is no frame or anything to help keep the shape and provide additional support. Needless to say, I returned the item. In need of some sort of beverage holder & extra storage space, other than the compartment under the seat, I ordered the Sunshine Kids Stroller Accessory Buggy Buddy. This is just what I needed. Plus, it was $20 cheaper! It works great with the City Mini. I would highly recommend the Sunshine Kids Buggy Buddy over the Baby Jogger Parent Console.
