I just ordered mine.... not sure when it will be available. I also went the most impractical colour - white!! Oh well, I liked the contrast look!
I was also going to say Cazkity not to buy from OS. It might be cheaper initially, but if there are warranty issues there is nothing you can do except either send it back OS, or pay for the repairs here. Also their safety standards are not the same as ours and so there may be insurance issues of there is an accident resulting from use of the equipment. These can be as small and minor as having the brakes in red and a tether strap for your wrist which are mandatory in Australia.
As for the bassinet - the seat does not actually lay completely flat which is why they don't recommend it for under 6 months. You only buy the fabric for the bassinet, it goes on the existing seat frame so it isn't like you will have a big bassinet sitting around when not in use. But if you are planning on getting the Safe N Sound Unity capsule then the bassinet may not be worth it.
Sparkles, I found out that the adaptors for the capsule is different to the second seat adaptors. So with the purchase of the second seat you get the adaptors to put the second seat on either in toddler seat or bassinet form. The car seat adaptors will allow you to use the capsule on the frame.
You ahev to take both the bassinet and /or seat off to fold (Thats what they told me in the shotp) DH was put off a little by this but it is so easy to do and fold. i wanted white but DH said no way so got the black!
Ok just looked at the link and you can fold it with the chair attached.

I have just recently purchased the Baby Jogger City Select from Babytime, Melbourne. Initially i ordered it from CMK in America as is worked out a fair bit cheaper than the RRP here in Australia. As we were buying the whole package with the Pram, Bassinet and second seat I thought I'd see what deal I could get over here as I was a little scared that if something went wrong with the one from the US it would cost me more in P&P sending it back.
Anyway, the one from CMK worked out inclusive of shipping around AUD960 (give or take a little depending on the exchange rate). We then went to Baby bunting and the best price they could do was $1249. We then went to Babytime and they quoted us $1100. I decided for piece of mind I would pay the extra $140 so if we have any problems I can take it back to the store. We pick it up in the next couple of weeks!
I know this is still expensive for a pram but I really do love it. I compared it to the strider plus (this is what we were going to get initially) in the shop and there really is no comparison.
Great news Pottsy! and congrats on teh price! im still waiting for mine to come in to babybunting, i ordered it in FEB!! i went pram shopping with a pg friend today to help here and i was impressed with the strider plus (and the price) and was starting to regret paying all that money for the BJCS!
but now i am reading i am still happy with my choise, i do prefer the basket in teh Strider though.
Chase that order up Loula. I ordered my BJCS about 2 weeks after it came in to the stores at Baby Bunting in April. I got mine last week while I was in hospital (great timing!!) and yep - I love it! It is a good looking, stylish functional pram! Unless you ordered red? I think red might be a bit slower than the black and white. I got the white!!
Thanks MT i ordered it in the black with the bassinett and go in EVERY WEEK and ask when is it due, they have told me first or second week in June!!! i got it at the rIngwood store, where did you get your from?
