Baby Jogger City Select! I know someone has it.....

Sorry I can't remember your name.

I just wanted to know how your getting on with it?

IIRC You have twins? How is it to push, Do you find that the children have enough room in the seats? Have you attempted public transport with it yet? What car do you have and how much room does it take up in the boot?

Sorry for all the questions.

I have put my deposit down on it and am going to pay the rest on it next week. I'm really excited but didn't get too play with it as much as I'd like too as the shop it's in was very small with WAY too many prams around.

My Dp wants to get me a peugeot 307 and wondering if it'll fit in the boot but until then may have to use the bus from time to time.

TIA for your reply.

i have one and i have twins, i have a ford galaxy with all the seats up but it folds small so it would fit a 307 i would think. i have to say it looks big at first but it really isnt. i bought mine fairly blind as i had one of the first in the country. i did open it and wonder if i had made a mistake, then i used it and realised its not as big as the seats make it look, i can get into places i never could with other doubles and both children have a fantastic view. its also smooth to push. i have had it a while now and i think its the best inline i have had and the more i use it the more i love it. some people say that its heavy on the front and they cant get up kerbs. i have had quite a few inlines as well as side-by-sides and inlines are always heavier on the front and its is harder getting up kerbs than a side-by-side but i dont have much of a problem with it. i love that its compact and i can have the seats any way. i love the massive basket and the fab snack trays. i always go out with pots of fruit and bread sticks for the snack trays. it is so quick and easy to fold and get in and out of the car. the seats are big so my two have loads of room. they are always playing 'boo' with the massive hoods. having a buggyboard behind isnt as good as the MBUD but i rarely use the buggyboard now.
i have not been on a bus with it as it would be a nightmare with my four, they are not buggy friendly busses and cost more than parking. i think you would be ok if they can lower the step for buggies.

Thanks for replying.

It all sounds very positive so thats good.

I can pick it up as soon as I've paid for it but ds2 isn't due till september so can't use it as a double until then. I really wanna get using it right away for ds1 but still think it looks slightly strange as a single, Especially in parent facing mode. lol

Good to know it folds small as well.

Thanks again.

i have used mine as a single a few times and it does look alittle wierd to me but i am used to it being a double (and i never bother to put the slot covers back in). its lovely as a single to push. i think its because the chassis is longer than a normal single but its actually the same length as the mountain buggy and phil and teds. i think most people wouldnt notice, they will just be envious of your massive basket.
also it does stand up on its own if you move the footrest. and take the slot covers off the other seat position (for the main upper seat not the one above the wheels) as we almost lost ours as they are easily removed and chucked by toddlers in the upper seat.
i use bugaboo raincovers on mine and have two raincovers that came with my BJCS i was going to put on e-bay, do you need some raincovers?

That additional info is great. No I don't need raincovers! The shop chucked them in free for me! Thanks for the offer though.
