Baby Jogger - City Select 2 Stroller

Honestly there isn’t a stroller that’s truly easy to push in the snow with the bassinet attachment. I would plan to wear the baby the first winter, that way you can also keep the baby close and warm. But you would have to get either a jogger or a more high end full size stroller. My baby jogger city select did pretty well in the snow but when baby was very little it was just too cold to take him out much in the stroller and we baby wore instead

I have twins and another two years younger. We got passes starting when the twins were 18 mo. And went almost weekly. I often went alone and I’ve tried it all- I had a triple stroller that is like a bob with a raised 3rd seat, citi select, and we’ve tried umbrella strollers. I liked my bob-like gargantuan triple the best. I liked having everyone and all the things in one place. I just took it slow when walking and didn’t rush around: but you’d need to do that with any stroller. The umbrellas only have a few major advantages, IMO- getting on/off the trams, trains and monorails. I used to just skip them all together with the bigger stroller and walk. The downside, on the other hand, is whenever you go on a ride, CMs will move your stroller and finding two would be a hassle. You have less ideal storage. Pushing umbrella strollers can be a pain, especially if you’re tall.

As others have mentioned, snugglebugz and west coast kids are amazing. The staff understand how extremely overwhelming the process is. They'll ask you a few questions about you're lifestyle and where you may use it, and will narrow you down to a few options from there. They have everything in display to test out walking, folding, unfolding, etc. It's extremely helpful!!! The carseat is something to consider too as not all will fit in your vehicle and not all are compatible with a stroller. The staff can help you with this too. Our set up is baby jogger city select 2 eco (not my first choice but we got an INSANE deal) and clek liing carseat. I got adapters on marketplace for $20 to connect my carseat to the stroller (no need to pay full price!)

I love the baby jogger city mini gt2. It has a car seat you can pair with it to make it a travel system or it can be used just as a stroller. If you think there’s a chance of baby #2 soon after or want something modular I currently use a baby jogger city select and absolutely love it. Both strollers have a hand brake instead of a foot brake (so no fumbling for the brakes anymore), good shock absorption, good recline (and options so you don’t have to pick between upright or fully down), and large canopies. The city mini is one easy handle to fold and one solid piece. The city select is a frame and then you pick if you want the seat to face you, face front, or if you want to put a car seat on instead. Both have adjustable handlebars. I’m 5’2 and my husband is just under 6’ and the handlebar is comfortable for both of us.

I was gifted the city select. Able to switch from bassinet to seats, plus can attach a standing platform Incase you plan for a third. (You do need to buy attachments separately)

Baby jogger city select 2, lived in Europe in a city with cobblestones and lots of rough streets with it and went on multiple triples to other countries within Europe. I believe the website said it was more narrow than the vista but it’s probably out of your price point (although sometimes certain colors are discounted). FWIW, a lot of people in my city in Europe had the vista and it was just fine.

I would say, it kind of depends on what you're willing to put up with. Is there a magic stroller out there that does all of those things super well? probably not. We have a Baby Jogger City Select. It has all of the features you're looking for, for the most part. We've taken it off road on trails when hiking and it handles that pretty well. You can upgrade the wheels if you want. It has adapters for a pretty decent variety of infant seats. There is a bassinet attachment if you want one. We have taken it on the plane while our baby was still in his infant seat. I will say it doesn't do any of those things perfectly, but it can work. Eventually we did end up getting a more lightweight stroller once we were out of the infant stage that is far less bulky for traveling and car seat compatibility was no longer a thing.

Hi, fellow manitoban. Nothing is easy to push through snow, but some are absolutely dreadful. Buy something with large, air-filled tires. DO NOT buy anything with small hard plastic tires. I have a baby jogger city select, ive had it for 10 years and 3 babies (plus a time my 6 year old was disabled she used it for a bit), i like that it wasily folds flat, can be a double, has adapters for almost any carseat, the seats can face in or out and are really easy to switch, and has a large storage basket (huge for when baby is too small to sit in the shopping cart and you need to shop with the stroller). Im not saying younneed to buy a babyjogger (i admit, im out of the loop, even though i have an infant, i havent bought most major baby products in 10 years), but those are the features i really love about my stroller (and what were lacking in the graco jogging stroller i had before getting the baby jogger). Unlike what the name would suggest, babyjogger doesn't necessarily mean in a jogging stroller.

I love my CitySelect. I bought a discontinued color and saved a TON of money on it!

Baby Jogger brand has tons of models so you’ll probably get more helpful answers if you specify which one you are considering. I have the City Select, which I don’t think is the one you are looking at because the seat does come off, but I like that feature to flip it either way. The seat reclines super easily and it handles sidewalks, grass, and unpaved paths really well! I have 0 complaints aside from how hefty it is to lift but any bigger stroller will be more heavy. I bought mine second hand off Facebook marketplace from a lady who used it for her two kids and then sold it when the older one was no longer using it for stroller rides. Depending on your lifestyle, it can be a short timeframe you use a stroller so I think that’s why there’s lots for sale. I think lots of people buy new because then they get the warranty but to me I’d rather pay significantly less and not have a warranty. I bought mine for 1/3 of retail price. Edit to add, it also has a huge basket (I’ve done smaller Costco trips using the stroller basket…we all know a “small” trip to Costco is still a lot haha)!
