Baby Jogger City Select

We have put this beauty to the test on so many different terrains... Its been challenged with: • the every day shopping that you have to compliment the amount of shopping you actually can fit in the under basket. • Weekend markets, fairs and the yearly shows that your faced with a variety of terrain surfaces... gravel, grass, dirt, mud, etc. • jogging - lock those front wheels in and its your new Saturday morning park run buddy. (note: one seater is more ideal for this but we have done with double seats — the challenge is more the extra weight you have to push not the pram) • Boardwalk and bush walking - it was only 2 weeks ago that we thought we were going on a board walk which turned out to be a 4.2km forrest path trail.. 100s of stairs, variety of forrest ground surfaces from rocks to tree roots... At 5 years old and it held up to the challenge. 5 years on, I cannot say I have had any issues with the folding mechanism, with the wheels, hand brake, or the reclining of the seats. It’s only now after lots of wear that the underbasket is due to be replaced. The city select has been by far one of our best investments we have purchased to keeping up with our everyday lives.

Just bought a second version of this in purple. Great pram all round, easy to fold and piece together. Smooth turning and great on uneven ground. My only gripe is that my 23 months old toddler sit facing the handlebar and can unlock the braking mechanism after sitting in pram for a few days... so not too safe if your toddlers are observant and hands-on. Otherwise much better than our last double pram which was too heavy and hard to turn.

I think I have already reviewed this Pram, but I wanted to update my review. I have had this Pram since my baby was born, she has just turned 1 and I have just had to replace the folding mechanism. I am pretty disappointed as this was quite an expensive Pram, and then having to spend another $160 on a folding mechanism only 12 months on. I never hang anything from the handle bar, I don’t lean on it etc, but I do push on it to get the Pram up curbs. I was told that these are the reasons why the folding mechanisms break. I always use a ramp if there is a ramp, but being in country town, there isn’t always ramps. Other than having to replace the folding mechanism, this Pram has been great for what we need it for. My sister in law has the same Pram and has had it for almost 4 years, she hasn’t had any issues at all, that is why I bought the Pram. I am thinking it may have been faulty from the start. Anyone buying this Pram, register it for warranty online and you will get an extra 12 months warranty. I wasn’t aware of this so I didn’t do it and only got 12 months warranty. I was just out of warranty when the mechanism needed replacing.

I bought this pram 2nd hand last year prior to the birth of my first bub. It was in very good condition despite having been used by another mum for a couple of years. As part of my purchase I got the 2nd seat, the bassinet attachment as well as some extra accessories. The reason that I went for this pram is because it pushes well over grass and stones, is very sturdy, can forward or rear face, and can convert to a double pram in the future. I find the steering quite nice and it has a good turning circle but sometimes a front wheel will flutter a bit when we go for a walk; all I need to do to stop this is slow down for a second and then continue on. I could possibly fix this if I locked the direction of the front wheel to forward. I also think that the underneath luggage compartment is fantastic and it is one of the largest I have seen on a pram. The luggage compartment is a little bit tricky to access with the bassinet attachment but it is easily accessible when using the seat attachment. On the downside, I sometimes have trouble folding the frame up because the latches can get stuck, but I have found this less of a problem with practice. It is also quite big folded and I always have to unclip the seat to put it in the car because if I don't it is too long. I have a medium sized SUV and it takes up a fair bit of my boot space. It is a bit heavy too but not unmanageable. The handbrake is very handy. I originally used the bassinet attachment and now we have changed to the seat (rear facing). I have not needed to use the second seat yet so I can't say what it would be like to use with two children on board. However I am pleased that I will not need to buy a different pram when we have another child. Baby jogger has heaps of accessories to buy for this pram should we need them. Overall, a reliable, hardy pram with a handy luggage compartment size but best for someone with a medium - large size car.

I purchased a city select just before I was due to have my second baby. I originally had a bugaboo chameleon and decided I was in need of a second seat. After a lot of consideration between a bugaboo donkey and the city select, I went with the cheaper option.. the city select. Although there are many features I love about the city select like the easy fold, how compact it fits into my boot and how light it is I really do regret not spending a little more money to get the donkey. After owning both I can tell you that the steering of the bugaboo and the suspension of the bugaboo blows the city select out of the water. I find the city select hard to steer at times and difficult to manoeuvre especially when both children are strapped in. It makes it ver heavy. It is very long and although it has many positions they are hard to use, especially when Baby is laying down most of the time. If I was to make my decision again I would definitely be spending some more money to buy the bugaboo donkey. It certainly is an investment but the resale value will make you money back in the long term!

I purchased this Pram when I had my baby, I went with Baby jogger sort select as my sister in law had this Pram and I felt it would be perfect for us. Well it has been perfect, I will discuss both pros and cons. This Pram has large rubber wheels on it, so living on a farm, it has been perfect as we are walking on all surfaces. It has the option for 2 seats, so perfect for families with 2 young children and it can be forward or rear facing seats, so this Pram is really perfect for any situation, and the undercarriage is huge to fit all babies accessories in. From my babies Point of view I think she is quite happy in it as she usually falls asleep on long walks, so it must be comfortable. And with living on a farm in WA and everything ending up covered in red dust, it is easy to take apart and wash. I honestly do not know why it isn’t more popular. The cons: It is quite a large Pram, I am lucky o drove a large vehicle, but I think someone with a small car would struggle to fit it in the boot. It can also be hard to disassemble sometimes, sometimes the lifting points get stuck and I have to rest the handle on my hip to hold it up so the handle releases. I believe the frame comes with a lifetime warranty, so if I have anymore issues I will contact Baby jogger. As a single mum of a small build, I find it easy to load and unload the Pram from the car, I do not find it too heavy or awkward, so anyone who is worried about the weight of the Pram, I think it may be quite heavy compared to newer prams on the market, but it isn’t hard to move around. But all round it is a good Pram for the price and I am happy with it.

Brought in 2016 for my bub, is great has loads of features, interchangeable with different capsules with the adaptors. Different seat positions, option to add second seat which is great. The only thing I really don't like is that it doesn't fold to be compact. Have to either leave the seat on and it be bulky or take the seat out, which can be a bit annoying constantly removing the seat. Other than that it's amazing!

I bought a city select when I was pregnant with my 2nd Bub after much research on double prams as my toddler was still needing to be in the pram most of the time while out for long days, after looking at all the different types available we decided on the select due to the amount of configuration we could choose from, the fact our capsule was compatible and the fact my daughter wouldn’t be tucked away under the main seat taking up the basket space. I loved that it could go from single to double with a few clicks, the basket space even with both seats, the ease of use, the smoothness while manuvering even with 2 children in it. The only down side was the frame was a bit on the heavier side but that’s expected with a pram that can hold 21kg each seat, I highly recommend the city select to parents for single and double use as it’s just a well thought out pram with soo many options

Totally recommend this pram for big/ growing families! I bought this pram for my first child in charcol and the material has stayed in great condition for over three years now (two messy toddlers) ! I didn’t even have to buy the second seat because the front basket is so big and the way the frame is designed, my eldest can sit on the front frame confortably! The top seat is great from birth as well. I just used a wedge and reclined the seat all the way back so our newborn could lay completely flat. So no need to purchase the bassinet! The basket is huge! Great for shopping and carrying my big things like bikes and skateboards when the kids legs get tired on a bike ride 😂 I love this pram 🙌🏽 Here’s a pic from this weekend with three kids at the Science Fest. We had one in the seat, one on the front bar and one walking, pram full of bags and snacks for the kids!

This is a pram that grows with your family! I did so much research before buying this pram, and I have not been disappointed. It's so easy to steer, and because the seats detach in order to change whether bub faces towards you or away from you, the direction bub faces doesn't compromise your turning circle (unlike prams where the handle bar flips over). It's very easy and intuitive to remove seat fabric for washing, or changing over to the bassinet. It looks tidy and complete as a single pram, and as a double, the second seat ties in well. I appreciate that the second seat sits out the front of the pram, as most toddler seats sit underneath the handle bar, which I would kick my long legs on when walking. The pram is easy to pull apart and easy to fold. The only bad thing is that it's a little heavy, but that gives me confidence that it's sturdy and won't fall over. It's also taken me a while to get used to how long it is, and I often bump into things, but I think that's par for course when buying any pram that expands to a double. We bought ours second hand, and I'm super happy with it!

We bought this pram when we had our first child so that it could cater to our anticipated growing family. It has a large basket (the largest of them all at the time of purchase, the end of 2014), easy maneuverability and had many accessories you could purchase to suit your needs. It was always easy enough to fold though you had to stand right in front and pull the release levers straight up for it to fold itself up. For a relatively short person like myself, this had proven difficult as I could never hover directly above it to make the fold on the first try. But I got the hang of it eventually. Now with our second child and using a second seat, it is good to note that placing the heavier child closer to you makes it easier to maneuver around corners and make turns. But I always wanted my newborn closer to me so I just put up with it feeling front heavy, it’s still manageable. I find the combination of both children facing out cramps the top child’s legs a bit, I thought there’d be more space. Since he’s still a baby it’s no problem, but I can see issues later down the track. As a single pram it is the best pram and such a smooth ride and steer for parents, versatile and robust. As a double pram it’s still robust, but a bit heavy and tricky to maneuver around corners and makes it a long pram. The basket space or one child’s leg space has to be compromised to be used as a double pram (I have a 10mth old and 3yr old, both petite) So far it’s still worth it for them to be in line instead of side by side where you can’t fit down a lot of paths and aisles.

I have owned the baby jogger city select for the last six years as it is a very versatile pram. As a single or double it is easy to manoeuvre and slim enough to fit through aisles, there are many seating combinations to keep both parent and child/children happy and you can use with a capsule or bassinet for extra comfort for your child. When older, both children can face forward, and see, which is something many other double strollers dont offer unless they are a side by side. There are also many easy to use and great quality accessories that can be purchased for extra comfort and protection such as a zip on bug/uv cover, much better than a blanket for shielding child from sun. Has a large basket beneath the pram with plenty of room for a nappy bag, and mesh pockets at the back of each seat which are useful for keys or your phone. It can be a bit time consuming taking apart to put in the car but is easy to fold and in my opinion worth the time. Highly recommend this product you won't regret buying it!!
