City Grips review and giveaway...
From their website:
CityGrips was designed with you in mind.Have you ever said to yourself:
“These handle bar grips are so dirty. They’re falling apart. They’re so sticky. OMG what is growing on these? Which of those 10 identical strollers is mine?”
Then CityGrips is for you! CityGrips fixes all those problems. Slip CityGrips on your handlebars and when you feel they are getting dirty, throw them in the washing machine & dryer and repeat.
CityGrips also protects your grips from wear and tear making it easier to sell or give away. Once you use CityGrips you’ll never want to stroll without them, promise!
With the 100% satisfaction guarantee you have nothing to lose. If you’re not completely satisfied send them back for a full refund.
right away and loved the look and the feel. No longer did my stroller have that sticky feel that they get after you use them for awhile. And it no longer looked dingy from use. These are the CityGrips that I chose to review.
Here are a few more styles that they have to offer. Notice they have grips for single bar and double bar strollers. So you can take your pick.
