Baby Jogger City Select

see 7 parent reviews

The Baby Jogger City Select is one of the most popular strollers convertible into a tandem. The bucket seat can be tilted to a reclined sleeping position. The seat can be enlarged by extending the leg rest. The seat in the single version can be raised using an adapter. For a small baby, you can replace it with a carrycot or a car seat. With the purchase of additional parts, this stroller can have up to 16 different configurations. The siblings set-up can combine two seats, a seat with a carrycot or a car seat, two car seats or two Compact carrycots. The Deluxe carrycot will only fit on the chassis by itself. The City Select is therefore comfortable for an older child and a younger sibling as well as for twins from birth.

The larger wheels with suspension can handle even slightly rougher terrain. Rear foam-filled tires add to the suspension. In just one step, the stroller can be folded to a relatively compact size. Although the manufacturer does recommended this due to the possible staining of the textiles, it can also be folded with two mounted seats. They must, however, face forward. The storage capacity of the spacious shopping basket can be further expanded after its unfastening. All accessories including bumper bars must be purchased separately.

An excellent pram for twins

An excellent pram for twins.

A handy sibling stroller

4
  • variability -> possibility to use both as a single stroller and as a sibling stroller, in different variations, although only one version is practical for the 1x cot + 1x seat stroller version
  • large basket
  • the tub is "made" from the frame of the seat part so it doesn't take up much space when it's done being used
  • possibility to buy a bar or a tray (we had a tray)
  • a large canopy that attaches to the stroller with Velcro, so it can be folded over
  • adjustable handle
  • it is not possible to put the bigger child in the front seat to look at the world when the cot or the seat part is up, reclined
  • weight - it's quite heavy and not always ideally balanced, when there are 2 kids it can be a chore to lift it to the curb
  • missing saprons
  • more difficult to fold
  • the biggest minus for me was the size of the cot, the little one didn't fit anymore as a 4 month old, we had a hard time using it up to his 4.5 months
  • the bucket seat didn't suit the little one at all, he prefers to be on his tummy and you can't do that in a bucket seat. My daughter didn't mind it, she even slept there now and then...

A handy sibling stroller.

High quality, variable and compact

  • Option to reverse the seat
  • Few accessories available, and if there are some, their prices are high

High quality, variable and compact pushchair.

Comfortable maneuvering

Solid, comfortable maneuvering.

The twins loved to ride in it

5

The best stroller... the twins loved to ride in it :)

A lot of variations

4
  • Lightweight
  • Nice fold
  • Larger wheels mean a better terrain ride
  • Large basket

Happy with it so far. A lot of variations... now we use it for one child, but after the second is born, we'll use it for both - I hope I will still be as happy.

A great stroller, I bought it already used (second-hand) and still it's great.
