Strollers

There are lots of stroller options.  Too many, in my opinion.  I went to the store and tried A LOT of strollers before selecting the City Select.  It took me a while to settle on this one.  Here was my thought process:

This stroller has a few features that I really liked:
1.  The seats come out and can face in either direction so you can choose to have the baby face you or face the street.
2. There is an option for a second seat.  The UppaBaby also has an option for a second seat - but I didn't want that second seat to be a "second class citizen" seat and fit under the top seat.  The City Select has a better set up.  Financially we also considered the options of getting a single seat stroller now and then what it would cost us to get a second stroller should we have another kid.
3. The Price.  By far this was the most cost effective stroller to get.  The stroller costs $499.  Through the month of November you can also get the second seat for free (a $170 value).  This made it even more cost-appealing.

Since this stroller can fit another seat it's a little heavier to push, but we tested it out in the store and we spoke to a lot of friends who loved it and said it worked really well for them too.  We also bought it in a specialty baby store - it didn't effect the cost because Baby Jogger (the company that makes the City Select) manages all of the costs and keeps it consistent across all sellers - we were able to mix and match the pieces.  So we got the silver frame with the ruby seat and then as our free second seat we got the Amethyst.

 













We also considered the Phil and Ted's Smart Luxe, but doesn't hold a second seat.  The UppaBaby is another stroller that people love, but it's ridiculously expensive compared with the City Select and it didn't make much sense to spend the extra money just for the name UppaBaby.
