    City select or the mini?

    Jumping the gun a little but I'm looking at prams and want one that I can attach a bassinet and capsule to
    I'm thinking the city select but like the look of the mini too
    Does anybody know anything about these prams?

    I have the baby jogger city mini. Great pram.

    I never attached a basinette or capsule, but it's great with a skateboard. I use it regularly with my now 19 month old and my 3 year old.

    I have the city select because we plan on having two close together (planning anyways lol...)
    Love it. Used the bassinet until about 6 months and she loves the chair now too. You can lay it back flat to sleep as well.

    It is so easy to fold too. I always have people commenting on how easy it is to use. Handles really well, smooth driving and super large "shopping" area underneath.

    I love the mini too! I also haven't used it with a capsule or bassinette but do use it with the Mountain Buggy Freerider skateboard which is AWESOME! I have had A LOT of prams/strollers and this is hands down my favourite. I checked out the Select but it was much bigger and the two seat set up (seating configurations) didn't suit me or my kids.

    Just wondering how old your LO is that uses the free rider? Does it get in the way when you're pushing the pram??

    He is almost 4, he has been using it for about a year. Because it sits to the side, I just stand beside and push. If its rougher terrain I might put one arm either side of him but he doesn't get in the way. I'll get it out of the car tomorrow and take a photo

    We have the city select and love it. It's a bit on the heavy side but really sturdy, I guess it needs to be strong enough to carry 2 children. I like the way DD can face me or face away and when we have number 2, it can go in 16 different configurations. I can also fit heaps if shopping in the basket underneath. Oh and it's purple!

    Another one who is very interested in seeing a pic of the free rider on BJ! Moo was having a great time zooming around on one when I was buying our new Mini awhile ago. I asked if it would fit on the Mini or our Select and was told no. Is there a connector you buy separately?

    Yep, a separate connector. I'll upload photos when I figure out how

    Can't wait to see! Photos are easy on tapatalk if you use that

    It's connector 3 that we need for the BJCM - around $30 in shops

    I hope the above images are attached ok. I removed [ IMG from the links as directed in another thread?

    As you can see, DS1 stands beside while I push, he hangs onto the pram handle. You can put the scooter handle on but I don't bother. I can fold it up out of the way when he's not riding I have also had two kids (one 5 and one 3.5) on it (and one in the pram) and DS1 will sometimes sit down on it as well.
