    Yeah we would need to take the seat and bassinette off to get in our boot (and we have a Kluger). Its very stylish tho and I don't see many around which is good. I have it in diamond. I'm going to have some liners made for it too..just have to choose the fabric!

    Loula I'm going to check out that page!! How big is your bub? I'm not keen on the bassinette and the seat together it makes it super long, so if I don't have to use it for long it would be good lol.

    Belle thats a great price!

    I guess the CSelect is simular to the strider plus but for what i have heard the strider can have a few problems with their wheels and also doesnt always fit through shop doors ect

    Sarah, not sure about the bus as it is pretty heavy with bubs in it

    Today I approached a stranger in a park who was pushing this pram! Haha, I bailed her up and asked her plenty of questions and she was lovely & very helpful!

    She said she put her newborn straight in the reclined seat and has had no problems not using the bassinet attachment. She also clips her car seat into it.

    She said it's a bit heavy but otherwise loves it!

    Hi

    I have an 11 month old and have new bub in 8 weeks.
    I had the strider dlx, so sold it on e bay and after heaps of research gone for the bj city select.

    I have the main pram, 2nd seat, car seat adapter, two raincovers ( these are separate for each seat) and a suncover, all of which I got from America, worked out WAY cheaper even with $120 for delivery. Obviously the AUD is almost $for$ with the American $ so a good time to buy.

    I also have brought the safe n sound unity car seat to go on when bubs is small, this was a lifesaver with dd (had a quinny in the uk) and ds2 (strider car seat).

    I was toying with the bassinet but having used the seat, it lays flat and IMO will be fine for hubs although I will have my pram padded insert in to make the seat a bit smaller and of course i have the car seat anyway.

    Width - The wheels easily fit down all checkouts I've been through and is heaps smaller than my strider dlx.
    Steering - Easy to steer can steer with one hand
    Great huge basket.
    Combinations - I like this pram as I didn't want my 11 month old to feel 'underneath' like so many of the doubles are.
    So being able to have him at the front facing out is a big plus, he loves the shops and watching everything, I can then have the car seat or buns facing me at the top.
    Also of course as they both get older they can face each other which I think is great, especially for mine as they will be so close in age.
    Size/weight/folding- so easy to food although I take the seat off each time ( very easy) , i suppose it could be a little on the heavy side but not compared to my dlx so I'm happy, I got it in the back of the echo when hubby needed the big car.

    I also walk dd to school each day at the mo and it's a dream to push, the hood is great as it come over quite a way so great in the morning sun.

    Well I think I've listed enough but if anyone has any questions please ask.

    Ps I always have 2 prams so for the school walk each day (4km) plus my own extra walking for exercise I snapped up a valco ion for 2 in the sales, my unity car seat fits on this aswell, haven't got it out the box yet but may do this weekend, exciting

    I looooooooove the baby jogger prams! I have the city mini but have also played with the select! Both are so awesome to push and fit through all doorways/checkouts etc! So many friends have said they wish they'd bought a narrower pram!

    With the city select, can you swap where the baby and the toddler go, or do they have to go in a particular position?
