4 stars
The Baby Jogger City Select is an exceedingly adaptable tandem pushchair that offers lots of combinations to suit a growing family's needs. We know of at least 19 combinations which work either as a tandem or single. Takes two carrycots and car seats for twins. Folds very easily down to a neat flat package. Great suspension, storage and manoeverability. A fantastic pushchair whether as a single or a tandem.The Britax B-Dual 2011 is an inline tandem pushchair with numerous options offering flexibility to a growing family or to newborn twins. A great modular travel system with carrycot, soft cots, car seat fixing points and comfortable seats suitable from birth. Probably the best all round tandem on the market for pushability combined with storage space and good space / seating for the children, both in toddler and in newborn / travel system mode.
The choice of different seating positions and options is amazing! Folds very easily and flat. The seats are only a few inches thick and stack easily. So a great option for a small car boot. Large comfy seats with fantastic hoods for rain and sun protection. The shopping basket is enormous. The City Select is a very sturdy, stable pushchair without being heavy to push. Adjustable handle. Baby can parent face at the front, and toddler face outwards at the back.A travel system that works well for twins from birth or for a toddler and new baby. Many configurations including two car seats, two carry / soft cots and two seats and combinations of these. Good basket with side accessibility. A neat package with good handling. Large extendable hoods offering good sun protection. Easy to use as a single as well as a tandem. Integrated adaptors for upper car seat and carrycot. A very good option for twins.
Can be hard to tip up kerbs. Feels heavy with two older children in. Can be hard to push on cambered or cobbled surfaces. Raincovers can be hard to put on especially with combinations where the seats are under one another. Consider carefully which positions the seats can recline in, if your children need to nap. Wide and long as a single pushchair - something which may annoy if always used as a single; as a double you would probably make the compromise for the versatility.Soft carrycot is tricky to get in and out of the bottom seat. Basket openings aren't large enough to get a large changing bag through and storage space is restricted with the soft cot and second seat. No foot rests for either child. Seats seem a little shallow for older children who struggle to sit up straight.

There are 19 possible seating positions that we know of that work! We have tried having the carrycot parent facing at the top but the frame is just a bit short.
The shopping basket is huge. Net storage bags on the seat backs.
Britax Safe-Sleeper may be a good alternative to a carrycot or car seat for those early months.
The 2011 version has adaptors which push the seats further apart and makes the front seat higher. However the hood height has also been reduced from the previous model, but included in the box are two adaptors to extend the hood height by several more inches should you wish to.
Single Baby Jogger City Select - Chassis and one seat £524.99; Second Seat and Adaptors £154.99; Carrycot £99.99; Car Seat Adaptors £26.99; Raincover £20.99; Belly Bar £22; Child Tray £20; Transport Bag £59.99; Footmuff £49.99
Denim Charcoal will be slightly more than these prices. £449.99 Chassis and one seat; £99.99 Second Seat; £89.99 Soft Cot; £120 Hard Carrycot; £49.99 for car seat adaptors to attach a second car seat (the first one clips onto the frame)
Length depends on exactly which position you place the front seat. The carrycot at the front is probably the longest position and two seats facing forwards is probably the shortest.
Please note that in the photos of the BJCS in single mode below it is missing the covering caps above the front wheels because this pushchair is usually used as a tandem. These covers are included as standard.
The City Select can be folded as one piece (not recommended but there is a photo on this website), or as a single pushchair with the second seat (removed - the adaptors can be left in situ or removed), or it can be split into the chassis, 2 seats and adaptors which gives a very slim fold which is great for small homes and cars. Folded measurements are with the seat units on. Folded chassis only is: L 84cms x W 69cms x H 30cms.
