Hi Jeniffer, the second seat has undergone some changes. If you look under the main City Select page on here, and under the green ‘reviews and information’ tab you will find information and side by side photographs of the old and new seats. The new seat is the purple one and the old one is red. The basic difference is that there is a board in the base of the seat unit and a little more padding which makes the stitching run vertically instead of horizontally. Personally I prefer the old seats because they lie flat when stacked eg in the car. I have both types of seats here and I really don’t notice any difference with the children. My daughter chooses by colour not seat type!
As for stockists. City Selects are in very very short supply at present. You can try Lullaboo Baby or Winstanleys who are the top two Baby Jogger retailers. I know Dan at Lullaboo Baby usually has a good grasp on stock levels and he will know the price too. After that it would be a case of phoning round.

Hi
I was wondering whether the second seat has undergone changes as I already have the buggy but need to get the second seat and I would prefer to get the new improved one. If you could please let me know the price too and maybe if you know what stores have them.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for this great review! As you know, I bought my Babyjogger on your recommendation last year and it does not dissappoint! Ive just started using it as a double and it’s brill. I did buy the universal footmuff and it really doesnt fit this pram, so the info on the fleece cosy toes…im off to hunt some down! Thanks again! x

Just also to confirm that there are no further chassis updates between 2010 and 2011, although Baby
jogger do make gradual improvements, they don’t wait until the next year to release them.

Hi Justine,

Just wanted to say that this website is amazing, well done.

Just thought i would add my 2pence worth to the above, firstly we have a very very good deal going on the city select in diamond, anyone wishing to order this colour should contact us for pricing. (shameless plug I know lol)

Enough plugging now though, onto the facts:

Baby jogger infant carriers will come in 2 models – the city car seat & the select carseat. The city will be compatible with the mini, elite, summit, and micro models, and the select will be suitable for the select only. The good thing about these is they do eliminate the need for adaptors, however availability will be very slow to begin with. We have ordered as many as possible but Heading into summer we should have plenty of maxi-cosi adaptors in June.

Recaro will be producing their own adaptors which we think will be September, and yes I think will actually be next January, and they will allow the Young Profi Plus car seat to be used, which is two times gold mother & baby award winner for best infant carrier (2009 & 2010)

Mixed seats on the city select will not happen on the amethyst or the onyx, as these a now only going to be available in 2011 fabrics. It won’t happen with the diamond because there are no 2011 fabrics, only colour it is possible with is the ruby, but Kooltrade say they won’t be sending out a single 2011 seat until the 2010 has been sold out, and I expect there to be a gap between the two also.

Release date for the glider board is August, we have a large number on order, but this date could move.

Foot muffs will be £40 for the select and £50 for the city range, we have ordered a lot of 4 wheel mini’s too.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Hi bec, as far as im aware there was no change to the BJCS for this year but im sure Jus can confirm that.

The footmuff has been redesigned so it is now softer, more shaped and is colour coordinated with the BJ fabrics. The diamond colour is discontinued now so wont have a matching footmuff. The colours are black, green, purple and red that im aware of.

The pram bag comes in red and black or just black.

Great review, I have the city select for my twins and LOVE it. Just one question regarding the chassis, it looks shorter in the first pic with the adapters for the second seat appearing to be on an angle rather than verticle as in my 2010 version. Has the 2011 model changed?
Also, you mentioned a foot muff, I am currently trying to find some for when my girls grow into the seat (as they are still in the bassinettes), do you mean they are making city select ones the same colour to seats? I’ve got the diamond so was hoping to get matching ones rather than the generic black fleece.
thanks
