I just went to look at this stroller today and just had to put in my 2 cents. Overall, this stroller is very solid and maneuvers like a charm. It can comfortably fit two babies, or two toddlers. The material is awesome!However, if you are a mom of a single child now and ‘plan’ to extend your family, you might want to consider something LIGHTER for the mean time. Perhaps, the City Mini. This stroller is pretty darn heavy to lift with one seat. It’s smaller than many tandem or double strollers but still somewhat bulky. I don’t like that it can stand after it folds either. So, for myself, I will have number 2 one day and I thought about eliminating the hassle of buying and then selling a single stroller. But, after seeing this in person, or lifting it…I’ll definitely consider this when I have two kids. In the mean time, I’ll stick to the much lighter single strollers and deal with the hassle of having to sell it later.Then, I got to thinking…is the City Mini Double that bad? Will it not fit through most doorways? It’s so much lighter and toteable…you can actually travel with it, I feel like. And it’s cheaper without having to buy that extra seat.

First of all, the color Diamond should not be sold to any parent. It shows dirt too easily. I’ve had this stroller for about 8 months now, and I think it’s been through normal wear and tear, I don’t use it every day, really probably less than normal, and it looks horrible now. Even though this is a nice, expensive stroller, you wouldn’t think so because of the dirt on the canopy. I’ve tried to wash it by hand, you can’t put the canopy in the washing machine, according to Baby Jogger. but it definitely does not get off all the dirt this way. I did not realize this when we purchased the stroller, that the parts cannot be machine-washed. Who wants to hand wash, anyway?This is a great stroller for what it is, though, as a possible double stroller. It has a lot of basket room, which I didn’t think I’d need initially, but comes in handy so often. I’ve only used it as a single stoller, though. It maneuvers well, and is able to handle somewhat gravel paths, sand and snow. It folds close nicely, which was important to us, since we noticed with cheaper strollers this became an issue after a while. This seems like it will last for multiple children no problem. Very sturdy stroller. It folds up compactly if you take off the wheels, that is nice for when we travel to Europe, where people drive smaller cars generally.I just don’t understand why Baby Jogger sells this color. As a first-timer, I didn’t think about things like dirt showing on the stroller. I thought also since it is a light-gray, it wouldn’t be so bad, but it is. Baby Jogger would not exchange my seat for a different color when asked. It’s very disappointing, because when you purchase all of the extras, like the bassinet and the car seat adaptor, etc., this stroller is expensive. You still have this stroller that looks terrible because of the color. I wrote Baby Jogger and told them that they should not sell this color, they did not address this issue. Even though I think the product is worth the money, in this color it is not.A note: you need to get the Gate Check bag if you plan on flying. We did not, and on the way back from a flight, our stroller was dropped. The airline stated they normally don’t reimburse for strollers, but they were really negligent this time, and we are getting a reimbursement. The front wheels broke, but luckily we were able to order new ones for not too much money. At least it was for on the way back from a vacation. Imagine a vacation without a stroller. Just buy the Gate Check bag.I would have given a much higher rating if it were not for the color!

I needed a stroller that would hold my Chicco Keyfit 30 infant seat as well as contain my 2.5 year old son. We tried the Chicco together, the Kolcraft Contours, the Sit n Stand, and the Joovy ultralight. (Whew, that’s a lot of strollers!) We ended up spending a lot more money to get this stroller, but it was SO worth it. It’s wonderfully made, great quality. I love that you can rearrange the seats several ways, and that it still doesn’t seem huge with an infant seat and a toddler in it. I read reviews that said the seats are too small for a toddler, but I haven’t had that problem. I also read reviews saying the Chicco infant seat doesn’t click into the adapter (sold separately) but it in fact does. I couldn’t be happier with this stroller. It’s not as heavy as the Chicco, or the Kolcraft. Not too tall for me like several strollers I tried (I’m 5′ 1″), and still does everything I need it to. Even my skeptical husband was very impressed with this stroller. I have to say the price tag was a bit hard to swallow once I had purchased everything I needed (the extra seat kit and the Chicco adapter), but I don’t think I’ll regret this purchase.

I originally ordered the teal color hoping that it would be a good girl color to find out that it was too dark. However after doing extensive research to meet this new rule of 20 lbs or less for a stroller to take to the gate at the airport. Thanks to American Airlines and etc.. This was my choice as I didn’t want an umbrella stroller. My husband bought this same stroller in Crimson for me and here are my thoughts.I am a stroller fashionista if I may say. I chose the Stokke over the bugaboo, the Uppababy Vista over the Quinny or Britax. Wanted the Bob but received the jeep all terrain stroller as a gift.If you are looking for a flexible stroller that is multifunctional like the Uppababy vista where you can face the baby front or back leg support up or down. This is NOT your stroller. If you are looking for a light weight quick fold stroller for tall toddlers this is what you are looking for. The under basket space is small but over all moves great. The tires need to be bigger but it’s functional and overpriced for what you get.It will meet the new airport regulations and the other option if you want a jogger is the indie Bumbleride it’s 20 lbs but if you have a tall toddler don’t waste your money. My toddler is 36.5 inches tall at 23 months and the bumbleride had no room to grow.I like the Baby Jogger don’t love it . If you have a Bugaboo or other top brand stroller you may not be as happy with this stroller but it has a purpose for me and that’s to travel international with my toddler safely in her stroller in the airports.

First off, we have been a Britax family from the start, so I will base my review from that stand point. I understand, the B-Agile is more aligned with the City Mini, but they are still the same form factor.The Baby Jogger makes an excellent looking and solid feeling stroller, this stroller has handled most terrain of our daily stroll which consists of sidewalks and some dirt. This stroller works great if you have a smaller car trunk as it folds in very compact. The seats is reclinable to almost fully flat, but at the most upright position, the seat still has a good recline. Here’s my breakdown:Positives:1. Height adjustable handlebar, much more comfortable for me at a higher level.2. Front wheel suspension adds an extra comfort during larger bumps.3. Brake system (also see negatives) it is nice having the parking brakes at a hands reach, it is very secure as well, the release requires you to pull on a latch, all can be done with one hand.4. More seat padding!5. Large hood has 2 viewing windows on the top.6. Reclining the seat seem easier to do.Negatives:1. Slightly heavier than the B-Agile2. Brake system can be a burden to use when you hands are full.3. You can’t use the handlebar for hanging items, i.e. grocery or a stroller organizer!4. When folding the stroller, the lock doesn’t activate automatically the nylon material always gets in between the lock and latch. The design on the B-Agile is better.5. When folding the stroller and the handlebar is tilted down, stroller will not fold completely as it will hit the front wheel and probably smash your fingers too (something to keep in mind).Not as much as storage area or options with the GT.As most of you already know, or will learn soon enough, purchasing a higher end stroller they never include any accessories, so you will to spend money to get a cup holder for the baby or yourself.Overall, this is still a great stroller, if we had not purchased a Britax carseat and stroller when the baby was born, this would have been the stroller I purchased, its a solid performer!

This is a sleek stroller. It is very well built and extremely functional. It glides easily and requires very little effort to move it. It was really easy to assemble (which surprised me because it came in a small box so I thought there would be a lot of assembly). My 20 month old loves walks in this stroller – I think because it is such a comfortable ride for her.This stroller has lot of great features. It is compact and relatively lightweight. It has a great canopy that can extend to multiple lengths and includes 2 clear windows so you can peek in on your child. The straps are padded and easy to attach. The brake is easy to use and in a convenient location. And I love how you can recline the seat to an almost flat position.The storage compartment is decent size but you cannot fit most regular sized diapers bags in it. We just packed a couple of smaller bags for food, diapers, etc. and didn’t have any problem fitting them both underneath along with a couple of lightweight jackets and water bottles.If you are looking for a nice stroller to jog or walk in, this is a great option.

I realize this isn’t supposed to be a jogger, but it has been classified as "all terrain". I took my baby on a gravel path, and he couldn’t nap because it was such a rough ride of shaking, bumping and rattling. Why don’t they make a stroller like this with an optional 12" front wheels on front, just like they have on the back. Also, going over the smallest and slightest curb is not doable, the stroller literally will not go over. There was an area on the pavement that was about 3 inches taller that the area we were traveling on, I thought since it was such a small rise to get up it would be fine, WRONG. The wheels hit and all the pushing would not get it over and even 3 inch rise, so forget going up any curbs, which are at least 5-9 inches high!!! It even got stuck trying to go over a small branch laying over the path. I was really hoping for a bit better, but between the horrible bumpy and shaky ride on mere gravel and the total inability to get over even so much as something 2-3 inches tall, it gets one star What is the point of having 2 12" wheels, but teeny, tiny front wheels? If all wheels were 12", this stroller would be near perfect. Also, the recile is very limited with 2 seats, most of the positions give you zero recline, or minimal recline.Pros:Smooth and nice ride on concrete or fully flat and smooth terrain.Stylish and nice look to it.A lot of different seat position options.Seat size is decent sized. My very LARGE almost 4 year old fits pretty well in the seat seeing as he is almost at the weight limit. At his 4 year check he was in the upper percentile for height and weight, 43 inches and 42lbs. While it was not the most spacious, it was good enough and not super cramped. Especially with leg room. In a Phil&Ted; Navigator we tried at the store, his legs just could not fit and the seat was very small and shallow for him and he just could not fit or ride in it, it wouldn’t work. Bit this seat fits him a little better.It feels sturdy, like it will hold up well over time.ConsAWFUL on anything but smooth/flat terrain. Will be awful on even so much as gravel ad impossible to get over any bumps or curbs.Limited recline in most seat positions, as well as limited space for the child sitting behind the front seat.Mine had a defect, and for $650, you should not get something with a defect!Over priced for what you get, this company is making a KILLING.Very long and kind of a beast to steer. Also difficult to make turns and does not turn easily.When you have them in different seat positions, it takes up your basket space.Sun hoods could be a bit better. I wish the sun hoods were a bit better, they are okay, but could be better.All in all I liked it more than the Phil&Teds; Navigator, I just wish they made a few improvements. I am sending the defective thing back.

I spent the last 3 months researching strollers before buying this one. I went back and forth with buying this stroller because i felt it was a unnecessary expense. I couldn’t justify the cost for a long time. But after all the research i kept coming back to this one. So after approval from my less than understanding husband i made the purchase. It took me very little time to put the stroller together. I played with it in the living room for 30 minutes to get a FULL understanding of what i was in forThis is NOT an unnecessary purchase when you are having twins. Its a must! I had lots of requirements and tandem stroller was a must. Which limited me to very few. Than i needed to make sure the second seat did not sit UNDER the first seat. I didn’t want to deal with the arguing later in life on who gets stuck on the bottom (example: Phil and Ted). Next i needed it to be VERY EASY to fold it up. This is very simple. I also needed my stroller to carry TWO infant car seats. With the right adapters it fit perfectly. Contrary to some reviews my Chicco seats DO snap in and i am able to just use one stroller. I am elated! I wanted a stroller that was easy to maneuver around. This stroller is amazing for handling. I can easily turn and push with one hand.I wil continue to update my review as things change for us. But as of right now. This is by far the best stroller i could have ever got for my personal requirements.

I have the Baby Jogger City Select with Second Seat and I love it, as I’m able to use it with my 20 lb twins & my 41″ tall preschooler. No stroller is perfect, but of the four doubles I’ve had (Maclaren Twin Tecno, Maclaren Triumph, Bob Duallie), this is my go-to everyday stroller because it’s the narrowest, goes anywhere and folds compactly.** UPDATE: Please note the weight listed above of 100 lbs is wrong – the stroller weighs far less, 28.3 lbs for the stroller with one seat and 5 lbs for the second seat. Measurements of the seats have been added **PROS:* The City Select was recently selected as Baby Gizmo’s 2010 Top Tandem Stroller.* Goes anywhere. 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 your 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. If I had to do it over, this probably would have been my only stroller – I wish I had known about it before buying the other doubles!* Can be used from birth up. You can configure the City Select with optionalBaby Jogger Car Seat Adaptor City Select, Singlefor one or two babies (some car seats fit better than others) or with one or two seats (for babies 6m+, 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).* Total weight load recommended for this stroller is 45 lbs. per seat (combined passenger and baggage weight), so calculate 90 lbs. total max allowance with two seats. Max allowance for the basket is 15 lbs. and for each seat pocket, 2 lbs. My 14 m babies are 22 & 21 lbs., the diaper bag is 8 lbs. = 51 lbs. Still way under the limit. Much better for twins than the Britax B-ready stroller which has a child max weight capacity of only 35 lbs on its second seat.* The three-part canopies are excellent and provide far more shade than the Maclaren twin strollers. A peek-a-boo window in the middle has a magnetic flap that covers it quietly – no noisy velcro. The canopies can also be raised 2″, allowing airflow thru the back mesh panel for hot weather and/or room for taller children.* Optional carrycots are sold separately.* The wheels work on many surfaces. I’ve been able to use the City Select on narrow paths, snow and grass. The City Selects pushes very easily on smooth surfaces, even with my 30 lb toddler. In comparison, the BOB Duallie is superior off-road and feels lighter, but is way too long to use indoors in smaller spaces. The Techno Twin handles very well on smooth surfaces but it’s 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, 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 (up to 15 lbs, plus I use the footwells for heavier items). When the seats rear facing, storage is more limited but still better than the Techno’s. Zippers on all four corners allow you to fit large or long items in the basket, even with the seats reclined.* I’m able to fit two 7 lb.KidCo GoPod Portable Activity Seat – Pistachioor two 7 lb. bouncersBABYBJÖRN BabySitter Balance, Brown/Beigein the storage basket – the diaper bag hanging down from the mommy 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,Baby Jogger City Select Double Rain Cover – Stroller Not Included. AMommy Hook Stoller Hangeror Munchkin mommy hook can be placed on the handle to hold bags up to 8 lbs.*JJ Cole Urban Toddler Bundle Me – Stealthfit these seats perfectly – go with the toddler size which you’ll use longer. Fully reclined, the seats work like carrycots – my babies sleep very comfortably in them.* Hand brake provides quick and secure locking of wheels.* 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.* I attach a Lassig Messenger Eco-Friendly Diaper Bag which is larger than a regular bag and can be used on tandem/ side by side strollers. There are more than 40 colors on amazon and the covers can be changed for mom or dad and it’s wide strap lets you use it with an Ergo carrier. Please note this is not recommended by the manufacturer.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.STROLLER COMPARISON* There are two postions on the Select for the canopies, so headroom is 22″-24″. The Bob Duallie’s is 21″ and the Maclarens can be adjusted to whatever height you need.* Seat back on the City Select is 18.5 inches – longer than a Maclaren Techno’s (18″) or Triumph’s (17.5″). The Bob Duallie has 21″ seatback but the canopy is flush so headroom is less, at 21″ (unless the child leans forward).* Seat width for the City Select is 12.5″, wider than Maclaren twin strollers (11.5″) and the same as the Bob Duallie (12.5″).* Seat depth on the City Select 2010 is 8″ and on the 2011 it’s 9″. This is on par with the Maclaren’s 9″ deep seats. The Bob Duallie has 10″ deep seats.* Footrests on the City Select can be extended from 8.5″ to 10.5″ below the seat. In comparison the other strollers’ are shorter, the Triumph’s is 7″, the Techno 8.5″ and the Duallie, 7.5″.As a side note, the 2010 model costs much less than the 2011 model, which has been slightly redesigned with a more padded back and a deeper, firmer seat.
