Product name: Babyjogger City Select (http://babyjogger.com/city_select_dtl.aspx)
What is it? A very clever and flexible twin stroller allowing parents to adjust both the number, position and direction of seats in several ways. Folds away to an almost flat 50x30 cm package which makes it easy to fit into a car or storage room
Why did it catch my attention? Having used a Phil&Teds for a week with a then 3 month old and her 2 year older brother, we bumped into a family with twins at Santa Barbara Zoo and saw how much better it would be if both kids actually were able to see out when walking
How old was my baby when I bought it? Our youngest was 3 months and her brother 2 years and 4 months
What value does it add for us?This is the best stroller I have ever owned! It is flexible and we both use it as a single stroller for the baby, a double stroller which both of them can sleep in (with both seats in either of the forward-facing or rear-facing position and leaned backwards) and occasionally as a single stroller for a tired 2,5 year old. We have also added the Glider Board, which is how our son most often prefers to travel when we are out walking
What does it replace? For us it replaced a Phil&Teds that would transport both kids safely, but that was much less flexible, more difficult to fold, and where the baby did not see very much when stored away in the lower seat. For twin parents this is a much slimmer (and easier to navigate) alternative to a traditional twin stroller. It also doubles as a highchair for our baby at the breakfast buffet in the hotel we are currently staying in
How did my baby respond to it? They have both responded very well
How much does it cost? Around $400 on Amazon + $56 for the Glider Board
Can I see any drawbacks? My son will soon grow out of the seats, but he would have grown out of most other strollers too. When keeping the heaviest kid in the frontmost seat the stroller can be heavy to navigate. The wheels are made for Californian weather, not for Nordic winter roads
It's extremely strong and lightweight. It is recommended to go for a baby strollers with smallest weight.
