Customer Review: Best all-around stroller for my twins, after much trial and error
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the Baby Jogger City Select with Second Seat and I love it. No stroller is perfect, but of the doubles I've had (Maclaren Twin Tecno, Maclaren Triumph and Bob Duallie), this is my go-to everyday stroller because it is the narrowest, goes anywhere and folds compactly. If I had to do it over, this probably would have been my only stroller - I just wish I had known about it before buying the others!
As a sidenote, my husband did not think I needed this stroller and was quite mad when I got it. But yesterday, we did a two-cart BJs' run (4 boxes diapers, wipes, formula, groceries etc) and had ZERO room left in the back or anywhere else of the minivan, apparently. No problem - the two seats folded flat and went in the front passanger seat well. Wheels and second seat adaptors come off easily - those were tucked underneath the seats; the frame folded flat (26" x 21" x 9") and was tucked behind the second row. My hubby was stunned. All was forgiven.
All these strollers can be used with my 8-month old twins and with my 41" preschooler. However, for it's usefulness, it's on the #1 spot out of 40 products on my listmania "Twin baby gear - the 10% you'll actually use" (look under my profile).
PROS:
* Goes anywhere - the reason I got it. I found out the hard way that side-by-sides do not fit between parked cars - the City Select does, with room to spare. This is the most important consideration when you're out and about with twins, so that you're not forced to leave one child alone in front of or behind your car while putting the other one in their car seat. The narrow width of the City Select has also been a huge advantage at doctor's offices, restaurants and stores that have narrower aisles.
* Can be used from birth up. You can configure the City Select with optional Baby Jogger Car Seat Adaptor City Select, Single for one or two babies (three types sold, some car seats fit better than others) or with one or two seats (place the heaviest child in the top position); it can have stadium seating facing forward (with a huge storage basket), or you can put both seats facing you so they can recline fully @ 180 degrees (better for babies, looks like bunk beds).
* The canopies are excellent and provide far more shade than the Maclaren twin strollers. A mesh zip-in backing can be zipped in front for sun shade when the sun is low (though the instructions don't say this).
* Optional carrycots are sold separately.
* The wheels work on many surfaces. I've been able to use the City Select on narrow paths, unplowed snow and grass. The City Selects pushes very easily on smooth surfaces, even with my 32 lb son. In comparison, the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller in Mesa Orange is superior off-road and feels lighter to push, but is way too long to use indoors in smaller spaces. The Maclaren Twin Techno Stroller, Charcoal On Silver Frameand Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller, Coffee and Silver handle very well on smooth surfaces but are impossible to use in snow.
* Very compact fold. The City Select takes up half the trunk of my minivan, standing up, with all three rows up. If I need more space in back, I simply stash the stroller & seats in the second row of the minivan. In comparison, the Bob Duallie takes up 3/4 of the cargo area in the minivan. The Maclaren Techno takes up the whole width of cargo area, lying flat - it's too tall to place upright without it hitting the heads of people in the third row.
* Huge storage basket - with the seats facing forward, the City Select has a huge basket. I've been able to finally go grocery shopping with the twins and fit a fair amount of groceries underneath. When the seats are rear facing, storage is more limited but still usable.
* I'm able to fit two KidCo GoPod Portable Activity Seat - Pistachio or two BABYBJÖRN BabySitter Balance, Brown/Beige bouncy seats in the storage basket - the diaper bag hanging down from the Munchkin stroller hook keeps them secure. No other double I have can do this - great for playgroups or when I need to take the babies out of the stroller for any reason and am alone.
* Many accessories - you can get many different ones but I found that stroller accessories from other manufacturers also work, at a fraction of the price. For example, the universal Jeep rain shield fits each seat well or you can get a sngle cover for less from Sasha Kiddie Products, Baby Jogger City Select Double Rain Cover - Stroller Not Included Munchkin Stroller Hook, Colors May Vary can be placed on the handle to hold bags up to 8 lbs.
* JJ Cole Urban Toddler Bundle Me - Stealth fit these seats perfectly and can be used Spring & Fall - go with the toddler size which you'll use longer. LL Bean winter buntings work great in frigid winter weather. Fully reclined, the seats work like carrycots - my babies sleep very comfortably in them.
* Baby Jogger is coming out with a ride-on board for a third child in March 2010 but, if needed, the seats are wide enough (12 inches) and the canopy high enough for my 41" oldest child. Both the canopies and the seats can be extended for older kids.
CONS:
* The City Select can be hard to get up and down curbs - if you're pushing it forward; but if you pull it backwards up or down a curb, it's no harder that any other stroller (actually a bit easier because of the larger wheels in back). I've even brought it up and down stairs (empty of course).
* It takes about a minute to fold and put away, as you have to take each seat off. But after last night's BJs run, who cares!
As a side note, the 2010 model costs much less than the 2011 model, which has been slightly redesigned with a firmer back and a deeper seat.
