Anyone ever own the City Select double stroller as well? How does this compare? Much cheaper, but is it at a cost of quality and functionality?

I have owned this stroller for a year now and my first choice was the City Select, but the price was prohibitive. I liked it at first and I still do, but I am now wishing I would have spent more money initially and gotten either the City Select Double or the City Mini Double. I bought this after my second daughter was born. She is now 14 months and my oldest is 3. The 3 year old is 32# and 37 inches tall (63rd percentile), and she looks a little squished in the seat. It does push really well and I liked that it came with both seats and the infant seat adapter, but I don't know how much longer my oldest will be comfortable. Also, it is kind of awkward to move once it is collapsed. I think the Baby Jogger City models fold up better. For these reasons, I am now considering buying the City Mini double. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure i threw mine out after I was don't with it. It was a awesome stroller and fit perfect threw ales at the stores. I'm 5'2 and it strolled perfect to and compacted well for my car. This one was the best double stroller I found there's another one I liked to it was pretty compact a side by side one and it had the reversible seats to. If your interested in the brand etc I'll have to look it up just send me a message crosscountrygl@yahoo.com subject:your name and stroller information

It fit our city select with two seats! I just bought this and did a test run. One of the larger tires is going to have to be put in a carry on. But I just tried it once, maybe you can figure out a way to fit the second one. You do have to take the stroller apart. My husband gave a little push on the seats as they sat on the frame and we were able to zip it up.

Yes, this is exactly the reason we decided to go with this stroller---because it seems to be designed with NYC life in mind. It is also great from traveling on planes and other. Between the traditional City Mini and the City Mini GT---I think I like better the City Mini (2011 version)--although we only used the GT (2014 version) for a few months because our daughter grew out of using strollers on a regular basis. Overall these are great strollers and would highly recommend them!

Hello! This stroller is so sturdy it's a better than I thought. I'm pretty rough with mine when getting it in/out the car and I take it through dirt and grass. It's far from a poorly made stroller. People assume that I paid $100+ for it. Bottom line is it's very good quality! I just got the email to reply to your question and I wouldn't have wasted my time if I thought any different. I was skeptical and read all of the reviews myself as well. Hope this helps Tammy! You won't be disappointed with it.

I love this stroller. I do not use it in rough terrain however. I use it up and down super hilly streets with a thirty 35 pound three year old in it and it is a breeze to push both ways. So glad I purchased it. I have not found anything negative about it yet. I am going to get a rain cover for it next so we can use it even in the rain.

So sorry, unable to answer this question. We don't know what the City Select stroller. The Britax organizer and twin stroller was purchased as a gift to my daughter who had twins.

I ended up buying a straight wheel, since the swiveling wheel that came with the stroller wobbles at higher speeds. Today I would probably buy the stroller I saw at Costco.

Absolutely. My sister in law has had the double for 3 years. Weve gone on many trips and the stroller is great. My 7 year old niece even fits in one of the seats. The only draw back is when you use the car seat attachment because its a bit awkward but once its not necessary its a great stroller with the most room in each seat.

I owned the City Select for a long time when my boys were younger; now I own the VaryLight in Charcoal . The Select is a very nice stroller BUT the seats are small and my older son quickly grew out of the seat. The seat on the VaryLight has a very tall seat back and a large/tall head clearance. Both the VaryLight and the Select are easy to push and fold similarly; neither stand alone but the Joovy can lean against the wall and stand upright that way with no problem, the BJ cannot. The baskets are comparable in size and access so this is a wash in my opinon as is the fact that neither comes with a parent console which in my opinion is ridiculous with such a pricey stroller but it is what it is. The Joovy does however, come with a front child tray and one can be purchased for the rear rider (the snack tray is interchangeable from front to back) where with the BJ you have to purchase one for both seats. Also, if your child is 2.5 years or older, the jump seat on the back is a BIG hit with the sit & stand versus the double seat stroller! Really, by this age most children do not need a full seat unless you are on an ALL day outing and the child falls asleep. All in all, unless you have petite children who are very close in age or twins, I would go with the VaryLight; I LOVE mine!

It is not good as primary stroller. Specially if you live in the city, it is too heavy and bulky. It barely fits in toyota Camry trunk. Front wheel came of in 3 months, called them and have been waiting for replacement over 45 days. So I purchased lightweight one and boy what a difference. Going up and down stairs is so easy. Shopping became easy too. Although, i miss it when i got into the parks or hiking. Next, car seat attached is low quality and became too small in just 2-3 months.

I would recommend it for every day use. It handles like a dream (compared to our travel system stroller). The front wheel lock/unlock is super easy. And the folding can be done with one hand. I love ours.

I would imagine it is not the lightest stroller out there, but I always carry my two toddlers in it (45 to 50 pounds). In my humble opinion the pros outweigh the cons of this stroller, but it is certainly not feather light. I would advice the makers to make a version out of lighter metal, but that would certainly affect the price tag. For this price, best stroller out there. It is better then even some more expensive, top brands out there (I know. Because I also own a Peg-perego.

It works great at the mall/zoo. It is wider than a regular single stroller, but I never had a problem maneuvering it around stores and at events. I love this jogger!

Unfortunately if you go on the Baby Jogger website they specifically say it's not a "jogging" stroller but I walk around everywhere with it and it rides really well. For jogging my hubby purchased a used BOB Utility Sport. If you're specifically looking for a travel stroller, perhaps you'd like the City Mini since it's a few pounds lighter and I believe it's a bit cheaper...good luck!

I LOVE my Mountain Buggy, it is great in grass and all terrain. My complaints on it would be that when you are going off a curb or a tilt you have to be careful because it is 3 wheeled and easily can go from 3 - 2 if not careful. Also when the second child is still in the cocoon I found that the head was lower than her feet and therefor not super comfy for her, she was long also so her head was right at the back of the first seat. Now that they are both older 2.5 and 9 months I really like it and the child in the back doesn't ever complain. For 30 min running in the stroller I think it would be a great stroller. I always have people come and ask me about mine because it is the same size as a single and not bulky at all! Worth every penny.

A side by side stroller sounds pretty big. I had a regular Graco stroller and it didn't fit all the way! I would either use the bag that's too big or nothing at all. It wasn't that big of a deal checking the stroller without a gate check bag from what I could see other people doing. In fact, it seemed more convenient.
