City Select 2 Double Stroller (SC2RDSLT2)

We used a car seat adapter with our stroller for both kids; it really doesn't take that long for them to move up to a 'big kid' seat, so a bassinet attachment seemed like overkill.  (FWIW, we have the Chicco Keyfit 35 and the Baby Jogger City Select 2.)

We have roughly this age gap, and we went with the Baby Jogger City Select 2. It's worked fine for us and was much cheaper than the Vista. Our toddler gets tired walking on her own sometimes (or we need to move quickly), so we definitely use the second seat. It's awkward to push on rough terrain, but the seat configuration options have been nice. We used a car seat mounting kit for our newborn initially, then moved her to the top stroller seat at a recline. She often naps on walks and both kids seem comfy. 

With my first child (he’s 6) I got a Chicco travel system, including stroller. It was fine, it did the job. I used it a TON- I walked malls, Disney, neighborhood- you name it. When I had my 2nd child the Chicco was worn out and dirty and my older child still liked to ride occasionally so I wanted a stroller that could hold 1-2 depending on the situation and ended up with a City Select 2. It was like $600-700 which is still not the most expensive, but it was a huge difference in quality from Chicco. It pushes so much smoother and has a lot of seat options depending on what my kids want. My kids are now 2 and 6 and still both ride in it regularly, so I feel like I’ve gotten my moneys worth out of it, but if you don’t plan to use a stroller a lot I’d just get the lower priced one and call it a day.

Ugh. I did all the research and wasn’t happy until the third stroller when my baby turned 6 months old. Originally bought a Baby Jogger City Select 2 Eco secondhand. Absolutely regret this decision. I didn’t like their car seat options so ended up buying an adapter for our Graco Load Leg Car seat to go on the baby jogger. Kind of difficult to get it on/off, usually waking up the baby in the process, defeating the whole point of having a car seat go to a stroller. The seat that comes with the stroller was for 6+ months, and the harness is way more difficult than it needs to be. No cushion. Stroller itself just has poor handling too. Also - I will never forgive them for this - Baby Jogger never restocked the $200 bassinet attachment for the City Select 2 (their newest model) for 8 months. I was on their waitlist, contacted customer service… nothing. My nervous new mom mind ended up buying a Graco convertible bassinet stroller brand new because I was nervous about my baby being slumped in a car seat for too long. It wasn’t expensive but it was an unnecessary expense. We didn’t use it that much, materials are cheaper feeling and the stroller feels a little “bouncy” overall, BUT I would 100% recommend the Graco as a budget-friendly option. So then at 6 months, I finally sprung for a jogging stroller from Guava. 10/10. No notes. Good price, solid accessories, SMOOTH handling, good storage. We use it for all our stroller needs now.

I bought a stroller that has the option to turn into a double if I’m lucky enough to get pregnant again. I went with the baby jogger city select 2.

I have a baby jogger because with the sale price I got it came to half the price of the uppababy vista. We were the same where we could afford to get the vista but when it came to the baby jogger city select 2 with a bassinet came out to half the price of the vista with a bassinet. I figured that the vista might be a bit better, but not $800 better. Honestly now that bubs is here and I use the stroller daily I’m happy with my choice and I’d do it again. Or I would just get one used on marketplace in good shape. Being in the GTA you would have a ton of options if you want to go that route. As for car seat I got the baby jogger city go one which was on sale for $280 I believe. Car seat have so many regulations around them even the cheap ones are just as good. I’d rather get a nicer convertible car seat for when this guy outgrows the infant seat, which will be very quick.

Second this! We have the city select 2 and has the same features as a vista. I got it on sale and got a bassinet for it and paid less than half what a vista would have cost.

We absolutely love this stroller! Not having a bassinet has been the only downside & I really wished it had it those first few months. Granted - as soon as our daughter could go in the “normal” seat (5 - 6 months old) it’s been the best thing ever. Definitely something you buy for long term use & not necessarily the newborn stage. With baby #2 on the way I was wondering if one of their car seat adapters works with another brands bassinet attachment? Could be a workaround now that the (very expensive) Baby Jogger bassinet isn’t an option.

I really like my baby jogger city select 2. it looks like it has a chicco adapter but i didnt look extensively. My only advise is that baby jogger seems to run out of accessories so get whatever seat adapters, extra seats, other accessories you’re going to need for the life of the stroller upfront. i wonder if cost doesnt matter and you really want a specific stroller if it may be worth getting a new infant seat to be compatible.
