Baby Jogger City Select Silver Frame Stroller, Onyx

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?) What a nice stroller! Not only does this look sleek, it also moves fantastically. This Baby Jogger 'City Select' is one sturdy stroller, let me tell you. Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me back track. This stroller, meant for 45 pounds or below, arrives in a large shipping box. As with other strollers, you will have to put this together, piece by piece. By far the easiest things to put on were the wheels.



The hardest part, for us, turned out to be the straps. In order to get the straps in, you had to push them in from the back to the front, adjust them and then push them back towards the back of the seat (through the foam and fabric). It was a pain in the neck and hard on our hands! They work fine when placed properly, but putting them in was a pain. Also troublesome where the images in the directions. At one point the directions talk about mounting brackets, but the image used to describe what those were wasn't very clear.



Keep in mind, the directions say this is not suitable for jogging, running, or skating. It can be a little confusing, since the manufacturer's name is Baby Jogger!



This moves super well. Movements are fluid. When locked, the large, thick wheels are solid. Turning is very fluid, too. This is a very large stroller. It is large enough to turn into a double stroller easily, assuming you have the necessary attachment. This particular stroller comes with a seat suitable for a toddler. It is adjustable, so you can make the seat larger as the baby grows. Other features include a mesh 'sun-roof', an adjustable handlebar, and a large adjustable canopy.



As a 5'0 female, I must admit some of the features were a little harder to maneuver compared to what I saw in videos I watched while putting this together. For example, to fold up the stroller, you have to pull up and press down two mechanisms on either side of the stroller. My short arms had trouble reaching both of those mechanisms at the same time, making for a bit of an awkward positioning when trying to fold this. The wheel lock is tough sometimes, as well. This can fold up with or without the seat. If you fold the frame up with no seat, it lays relatively flat. If you have a seat in it, while folding it, it will not flatten completely, but is a little easier to store.



It would have been nice to see an extra attachment in this box. The bar for 'older kids' to stand on, for example, would have been a nice feature to have in this basic kit. However, you still get a lot for your money! This is a sturdy, well made, sleek looking stroller that moves like none I've ever tried!
