Have posted this elsewhere but as there isn't much on this yet and nowhere to view in store, thought i'd post this here too.
I have just received my city select in the last week (kindly brought over by a friend from America).
The only real comparable here that I have seen to it is the I-candy peach/peach blossom. So I, like many others are doing, bought blind!
It's sturdy, has a HUGE basket along with baby jogger's great big canopy (I already have a city mini and the canopy is one of my fave things), the seats have 4 positions going into a lie flat position as well as parent or out facing, and the seats and car seat can be sat in so many different configurations that there was no contest for me between the idea of this and the reality of the I-candy peach.
I can honestly say I have not been disappointed. I feel like I've got a proper, good quality tandem buggy on my hands that converts so nicely back into a single. It's not a lightweight buggy but the great easy fold and material seat (which is semi structured but folds flat for maximum space for the boot) makes that not a problem.
At the end of the day, it is a double so expect it to a bit on the bulkier, slightly wider (obviously still narrower than the smallest side by side) to allow for the weight etc. This is a great tandem with more pro's than the usual tandems i.e. both children have a good view out due to what i call cinema/arena seating (not quite one under the other and not quite one behind the other).
To sum up, it's fantastic. I could go on and on but I don't think there's much need.
Hope this is helpful as I had to do a huge amount of research in order to decide to buy this way so thought I'd pass on my 2 pennie's worth.
