Also, can anyone compare/contrast with Baby Jogger City Select? It seems preferable bc it has 2 full seats, but much heavier.

I owned the City Select for a long time when my boys were younger; now I own the VaryLight in Charcoal . The Select is a very nice stroller BUT the seats are small and my older son quickly grew out of the seat. The seat on the VaryLight has a very tall seat back and a large/tall head clearance. Both the VaryLight and the Select are easy to push and fold similarly; neither stand alone but the Joovy can lean against the wall and stand upright that way with no problem, the BJ cannot. The baskets are comparable in size and access so this is a wash in my opinon as is the fact that neither comes with a parent console which in my opinion is ridiculous with such a pricey stroller but it is what it is. The Joovy does however, come with a front child tray and one can be purchased for the rear rider (the snack tray is interchangeable from front to back) where with the BJ you have to purchase one for both seats. Also, if your child is 2.5 years or older, the jump seat on the back is a BIG hit with the sit & stand versus the double seat stroller! Really, by this age most children do not need a full seat unless you are on an ALL day outing and the child falls asleep. All in all, unless you have petite children who are very close in age or twins, I would go with the VaryLight; I LOVE mine!

I do not recommend this for anyone with a bigger kid. My 2 year old is taller than most, and was very uncomfortable in this. Although it's bigger, the baby jogger summit double is very roomy and worked out much better for us.

I just went to a baby store to compare this Joovy with the Graco Sit and Stand, and I will say--I'm 5'9" and the Joovy was a comfy walk. If i walked any faster than a snail with the Graco my toes would get beat up. Good question. Glad I tried them in person before going for the cheaper option (you could tell the Graco was cheaper on quality too). Go Joovy.

Not a great choice for either I would say... its not an offroad stroller, and its simply too large to be reasonable at a busy airport. I wont lie, this sucker is heavy and long. I would take measurements of your vehicle before you buy because it wont fit in some. That said for things like zoo days or parks with sidewalks, we absolutely love it. Our 4 year has some physical limitations and the back seat allows her easy in and out and lets her feel like a big kid without being strapped into a traditional mobility stroller. I completely endorse it, but you need to be aware this is probably not an every day kind of stroller.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

I use this travel bag for my Baby Jogger City Select. Unfortunately you have to take the wheels off, especially the 2 big ones. Taking off the wheels is really easy on Baby Jogger City Select. I'd definitely recommend this bag for traveling.

It is a bit more reclined than the gt. If you aren't planning on jogging, the gt has more space, especially leg room b/c the leg area isn't tapered.

The city select pram uses the fabric from the seat to clip around the frame of the pram. It is a "kit" that you get and you use the hood of the stroller seat too... This is why it is so much cheaper than the other baby jogger prams that come with the fabric attached and are not just a kit , there are other prams the elite and city mini, since the seat of the stroller is not detachable from the frame of the stroller. Checking out the baby jogger website will help you decide which pram is right for your stroller. Good luck!!! baby joggers are the best!!!!

We push our city select all over, hills included. It handles really well and feels like a smooth ride. I have not tried jogging with it as I have heard it is not ideal for jogging from a couple of girlfriends with the same stroller. We do walk fast with it with no trouble.

there are special things from baby jogger just for infants. Its like a bassenet. That would probably be your best option.

Hi, Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

I don't know that there is a difference. Check baby jogger website. You might want to call their customer service to be sure. Babyjogger site has a lot if details about the products.

I would recommend going with the GT if you plan to run with it. I have lightly jogged here and there with it and it has done fine. She is correct though, this particular one isn't for jogging.

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!

It is not good as primary stroller. Specially if you live in the city, it is too heavy and bulky. It barely fits in toyota Camry trunk. Front wheel came of in 3 months, called them and have been waiting for replacement over 45 days. So I purchased lightweight one and boy what a difference. Going up and down stairs is so easy. Shopping became easy too. Although, i miss it when i got into the parks or hiking. Next, car seat attached is low quality and became too small in just 2-3 months.

Heidi! This stroller is indeed a great and comfortable fit for toddlers - when I purchased it my 2 1/2 yr. old daughter fit great and was very comfortable. The handlebar height would b good for you because you are taller - it is set to a pretty high level. However, choosing this Graco over a B.O.B. I would say, all depends upon how much you plan on using it for actually jogging.. If I wasn't going to run a lot with my daughter I would've definitely kept this stroller because it is very durable and comfortable. If you read my review on it, though, it definitely was not nice to use on a run! It was too heavy and loud and has no shock support, so unless you are running on a smooth, straight road every single day it isn't what you want! I read a lot of reviews that said they chose a B.O.B over this Graco simply because it was lighter... I ended up exchanging my Graco for a Schwinn Turismo and I have to say, I couldn't be happier and more pleased with my decision! Hope this information helps!!!

Yes, this is exactly the reason we decided to go with this stroller---because it seems to be designed with NYC life in mind. It is also great from traveling on planes and other. Between the traditional City Mini and the City Mini GT---I think I like better the City Mini (2011 version)--although we only used the GT (2014 version) for a few months because our daughter grew out of using strollers on a regular basis. Overall these are great strollers and would highly recommend them!
