    Great reviews. Is it possible to use this a double seat pram such as: toddler facing forward in front and an infant facing mum on top and flat recline position?

    I am debating between this stroller and the bumbleride twin (i have the single…) which one do you recomend more. we do disney, malls and just around southern california stuff. My kids will be newborn and 20 months old. Thanks so much!

  3. miahzariah says

    is there a video of the stroller being used w/ the carseat adapter facing the parent while the toddler is sitting in the front seat facing forward?

    Isn’t the footrest on the BJ City Select a bit short? My 2.5 year old is tall for her age, and the bottom of the footrest hit her calf. That seems extra short to me. Odd they would make it so short if they are giving extra height to the canopy. Maybe I didn’t adjust the footrest correctly when we tested it out? I really wanted this to be our stroller.

    Hi, is the capsule adaptor the same as the adaptor for the second seat? Thanks.

    @fiveunited did yuo ever figure this out? i’m wondering what the best configuration is for a 6 month old who needs to recline and a toddler. Without the toddler kicking the baby!

  8. lauraluyt says

    I really appreciate your thorough review – now I read somewhere online that the seats cannot recline in doubles mode – please tell me this is a fallacy!

  9. mpalm887 says

    @lauraluyt That’s not true. Like she said you can take both seats and do whatever you want with them so long as they are secure and the seat switching is done without your kids in them. :-). My wife and i bought this stroller today and we have a 2 year old and a 3 month old and we found TWO configurations which allowed both of them to be very comfy for sleeping. One of these modes had both of them completely flat.

    @randyr2000 you probably bought a stroller already but the footrest DOES seem a little small, but considering the versatility of this stroller I can understand why.

    We decided before we bought it that we would ignore the footrest issue in the wake of all the other awesomeness of this unit. Our 2.5 year old doesn’t even put her feet on the actual rest, but prefers to have them dangle. She puts them in the rest if they feel like they are going to fall asleep.

    Amazing stroller.

    I am in love with my new BJCS!!! It is an awesome stroller. I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old and they both fit great in it. I love the versatility of it and all the positions. It’s like riding in a different stroller everytime. My 2 year old always tells me which way he wants to ride and to to position the seats. The foot rest is adjustable. It has 2 lengths. I have it on the short one for the baby and tyhe longer one for my toddler and it’s perfect. The buttons are the side of it.

  12. JaydensMommy141 says

    Also, the 5 year olds knees are so high up because she has the footrest up on the highest setting.

    Ok, so I saw this in the store today and am in love, just want to make sure. When my baby comes, by toddler will be 27 months old (size ~50th percentile). I’m also thinking about the City Mini Double, which I cannot seem to find for a test drive anywhere in the Seattle area (any tips?). My concern with the Mini is that it won’t fit in our Civic, but my concern with the Select is that it will be too heavy to push and seats will be small as the kids grow. Any thoughts?

  15. JaydensMommy141 says

    @pisastero I also live in the Seattle area and checked out the city select at Merry Go Round in Bellevue. They had a lot of other strollers on display as well. I’m not sure about about the city mini since we didn’t look for it. I would pick the city select over the city mini because I love being able to have the baby face me and I love big tires. The wheels on the city mini are tiny.

  17. pisastero says

    Thanks @JaydensMommy141. I think you are right–we live at the end of a short gravel road, and I think we will have an easier time with the Select. I also think getting the Select into the Honda will be easier since I can take it apart (just the frame) if I have anything else in the trunk. I’m a little concerned about the weight (pushing it around with it loaded it down) and the seat height, but I guess I’ll take the leap of faith!

  18. pisastero says

    Also, for those in the Seattle area, Merry Go Round did not have the City Mini (that’s where I saw the Select), and REI didn’t either.

  20. joannewarren says

    I love the look of this stroller but not sure about the leg room offered. My son is a large baby and is well above the 97th percentile for length at 1yr old he was 83cm (32.7 inch). The seat foot rest length looks quite short, can this be adjusted? At what length do you think I baby would be come too “tall” for the seat and become uncomfortable with legs dangling below the foot rest or knees to bent?

  21. joannewarren says

    Also, the seat back is 18.5inch, when you raise the canopy is there a “gap” or is there material? If a baby was bigger than the tiny 18.5inch back support and fell asleep would the babies head fall back over the back of the seat? Really appreciate your time answering these questions (this pram is not yet available in NZ)

  22. MissAE101 says

    @joannewarren Oh why yes it is! You can get it from Baby Universe – they just got stock in again (it sold out when it launched)

  24. darthtunaqueen says

    This is the coolest stroller EVER. A friend just purchased this stroller, she has a newborn (car seat adaptor) and a 21 month old. She is in love. I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet. My fiance and I will buy something like this when we start our family, as there is no point in buying 3 different strollers over the course of our children’s ages. You can also buy a glider board, although it’s max weight is the same as the seats! The company did an excellent job building this one!

  25. n33tn0t says

    we just bought this, and it’s amazing! it’s definitely heavier and it feels a lot bigger than other strollers though, but the double seats and the shopping basket underneath are just amazing!
