I have a City Select and am really impressed with it. You certainly can use it rearfacing as just a single, just pick up the seat and turn it around. I don't know how much wider it is compared to other prams but I've never gotten stuck anywhere! I love it's 'boot' as I call it - yesterday I fitted a large Tonka Truck in a box, my nappy bag as well as about 4 other shopping bags in it with room to spare Suspension is fantastic, as proved this arvo by DH running down a dirt road pushing Moo in ours, was hilarious!
