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?
Actually now that I think about it, when we picked up the rest of our layby just before DD was born and we asked the warehouse manager (out the back!!) about the ETA of the pram (he is the one always in the know!) he asked if we ordered the black. Maybe the black is in such high demand that they are out of it. He did say that they got one shipment in but it wasn't enough to fill all the orders for some reason, which was why we didn't get ours. But if you ordered it in Feb I would expect that you would be first on the list of orders to fill.
I'm going to order the select to but I just wanted to ask a question of those who bought (or are playing
on buying) the bassinet.
1.) Are you going to use it during the summer (for those summer babies?) I'm wondering if the bassinet aren't
too hot for them and there wouldn't be much airflow.
2.) Are you planning on buying a second seat immediately or waiting until you need one?
i got the bassinet as you have to if youwant to use it from nb. it has a air flow mess on the back of the hood as well as i peep hole (not as big as the strider)
I am also not planning on buying the second seat yet as im hoping that when i need it it might be a little cheaper ! hehe ther is always hope!
