Baby Jogger City Select - Black

The City Select 2 Eco Collection stroller is by far the nicest stroller I have ever owned. The color in Lunar Black, is very classic yet striking and the fabric itself is durable and easy to clean. The maneuverability of it is second to none as it glides effortlessly around the city. Many of the strollers I’ve owned in the past have wheels that just don't turn so well. You wouldn't think such a thing would be a such a big deal but it really is, especially when navigating busy streets. You really need a stroller that can turn quickly and easily! I love the canopy too, which is UV blocking. I appreciate tremendously that the peekaboo flap for adding breathability is magnetic as opposed to a noisy Velcro so that I don’t disturb my sleeping baby.

Many of the strollers I’ve owned in the past have wheels that just don't turn so well. You wouldn't think such a thing would be a such a big deal but it really is, especially when navigating busy streets. You really need a stroller that can turn quickly and easily! I love the canopy too, which is UV blocking. I appreciate tremendously that the peekaboo flap for adding breathability is magnetic as opposed to a noisy Velcro so that I don’t disturb my sleeping baby. Another feature that I love is that the seat and footrest is adjustable and can even recline all the way back! I also appreciate that the seat can be easily switched to rear facing as well. The storage compartment is much larger than in other strollers as well. While I was not able to test out converting it to a double stroller as I did not purchase the attachments for that, I have seen videos of it and am in awe of how much room each child gets. I’ll definitely be purchasing those attachments for my next child, especially since the car seat attachment fits most infant car seats on the market. Lastly, I absolutely love that the handle is adjustable so that even my 6”3 husband can push the stroller without hunching over. My only complaints are that it does not come with cup holders and that it can’t be folded if the seat is in the rear facing position. You have to switch the seat to forward facing if you want to store it flat. These are just minor inconveniences that are worth noting, in my opinion but do not change my recommending this product. This product was sent to me for testing through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I received this stroller to test from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and things went smoothly right out of the box. I used the images for assembly as I didn't notice there were written instructions later in the book, and I got everything put together quickly with my 2 year old helping me.Once assembled, my daughter spent most of the evening sitting in the stroller, and she particularly likes the belly bar. Our current stroller does not have anything like this, and she has enjoyed having a place to hold onto while riding, as well as something to help her climb in. I like the higher position of the seat in the standard configuration as I feel my daughter can see things more easily, such as over a fence at the zoo.

I like the higher position of the seat in the standard configuration as I feel my daughter can see things more easily, such as over a fence at the zoo. The belly bar is also a great example of the luxurious look of the stroller - it is very sleek, and the leather look of the handlebar and belly bar give it a rich feel. With plans to expand the family, I really like the option to add additional seating, and I like that I can get adapters to use our current infant carrier if needed rather than buying the one from the brand.The ride of the stroller has also been good on both pavement and some loose gravel so far on walks, but a slight critique was that with my daughter in the seat and the diaper bag in the basket below, I had some trouble getting the front wheels up and over a curb, something I don't normally have an issue with. It also seems a bit tough to push one-handed; I feel a little resistance even on smooth pavement. As a pretty short individual (5'3"), I did also notice that the lowest position of the handlebar was a touch high. It was comfortable, but I wouldn't have minded being able to drop it lower.The basket is nice and large, but the bar at the rear for seating expansion did mean I had to jostle things a bit to get my diaper bag underneath. However, the adjustable footrest on the seat means you can get the bag in from the front as well. On the back of the seat, there is a nice sized pouch for some storage, but it is just a pull-back mesh, not a zipper pouch that might offer more secure storage of items.So far, in storing the stroller in the back of our SUV, we have left the seat on when doing the fold. The fold is very simple, and I like that is folds very flat, but it does limit placement in the car because it is also long. While I might be able to push it to the back and lean it against the seat, it was easier to lay it flat on the bottom, which means we either have to store other items on top of it or under it in the trunk. For our needs, a shorter, but wider fold would have worked, but I can see really benefiting from the flat fold if it is mainly stored in a closet in the home.Overall, it is a beautiful stroller that offers good storage does what a stroller should do with the benefit of the option to add on seating. However, I wish it had a little more storage for parents out of the box rather than having to buy accessories and rode with a little less resistance.

We've been using this stroller for almost 8 months and really like it overall. It's smooth and comfortable for us to push, has a great sized storage compartment underneath, and the quality of the materials feels really nice. I really like the shade with the little flap so you can peek in at your babe and it provides more circulation. I also love the parent storage compartment and drink holder.However, the main issue we have is around closing/folding the stroller. Firstly the side levers that you need to pull up to close it are extremely difficult to pull on. They are always stuck or stiff and I have to use both hands to do each side. The stroller doesn't fold up super compact which is ok, it's small enough for the car and we knew this before purchasing.

There isn't really an easy way to do it- it's clunky and difficult to do. We often lay it on the ground then open it which is not ideal in public. But once it's open I love it!
