4 starsnull
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 Phil&Teds Verve is a stunning modern inline pushchair. Amazing compact fold with both seats attached. Smooth reclines on both seats for comfortable sleeping. Travel system with car seat compatibility, and easy viewing of a newborn in the rear. Engineered for smooth handling & easy pushing. The 2014 Verve also has the option of a parent facing doubles kit.
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.Great looking! Superb handling across rough ground. Easy to lift up kerbs and steps. Car seat attaches easily with doubles kit on. Both seats recline easily. Fab fold with both seats attached into a neat freestanding package. Easy to alter straps. When the doubles kit is on top in newborn mode. There is lots of room for both baby and toddler. Parent facing option.
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.The hoods are flimsy and there is a gap at the back of the main seat. Great for summer but not for winter. The doubles kit is awkward to fit on and the hood needs removing to fold. Not much leg room for the lower child (just 10cms from the knee to the basket floor!!!!) and certainly no storage space in the basket. Not much of a view for the lower child. Heavy to lift once folded. Lower seat cushion keeps moving. Access to the lower seat to put in a baby is poor. Straps dangle in lower child's face when upper seat is slightly reclined.

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. Knee to Footrest - 20cms (Main Seat) but only 10cms from the knee of the lower seat to the basket floor or 22cms if feet extend to the end of the basket!!!
