Is the city select good for taking on walks in hilly areas on a regular basis? I've heard some even jog with it.

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.

If I go faster than a brisk walk my front wheels start shaking like crazy. I'm inquiring as to whether it is a factory defect.

Hi Abby, we have found it to be great for both. It is extremely sturdy and rolls uphill and downhill just as smooth. Great for those who like to get out and enjoy the day with baby in tow!

I've ridden my bike and walked with it, but not run. It might be a little awkward, because it's pretty big. But it's lightweight and has good straps and padding, so it's not out of the question.

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYC Area CONSTANTLY. I went over the Brooklyn bridge (pretty inclined) the other day and found it to be very difficult (being a one speed bike). If you know you will be dealing with hills frequently I'd say to go with the speeds... but otherwise this bike is extremely portable, eye catching (compliments at least once a day), and convenient. Good luck on your decision.

I have done light jogging on smooth pavement with mine with no problems. That is not really what this stroller is intended for, but if you mostly use it for walking and outings and occasional jogging on smooth surfaces, I think it would work for you. If you are planning to buy this stroller to use mainly as a jogger, I would recommend you look at the BOB or the Baby Jogger Summit. Those can be both joggers or everyday use strollers.

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.

I've taken it on brick paved areas in NYC - it does pretty well, but it can be a little bit of a bumpy of a ride. My little guy doesn't seem to mind though. The wheels are pretty durable plastic. If you're looking to off-road it, go with a jogging stroller with big bike-tire type wheels. Although for travel purposes, this stroller does fold up easy and is fairly light weight, unlike jogging strollers.

I have this stroller and while it's definitely not as light and easy to push as a real jogger like the BOB, I've found that on a decently smooth city jogging trail (like the one close to my house), I can do a slow jog and push it just fine. And slow jogging is all I'm doing these days, post baby. :)

It's pretty good. I listen to podcasts streaming from my phone and the sound is audible on busy city buses. The range of the device is extremely limited, but that just means you have to keep your phone in a nearby pocket.

I've biked past many cops here in S.Ca and it's cute I get a thumbs up. Just be careful, I sometimes bike on the sidewalk and have to push crossing pedestrian crosswalk buttons. It takes some getting used to commuting, sometimes I get in traffic to make a left turn at a light. It's a great bike.

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.

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :)

I've done an 11-mile commute so 22 miles going to and fro. This bike is a 6-speed which means if you live in a very hilly community and you aren't in the best shape, you'll have to put in a lot of effort. I must say it is a smooth ride but when it comes to hills, it is a bit of a challenge.

I've done some light jogging with it, but I wouldn't call it a everyday jogging stroller. It doesn't have trail tires and the maneuverability isn't what I would want it I wanted to job with it all the time. Mostly I do a lot of really long walks, mall and zoo trips, etc.

When you live in a city (or a group of cities) and you need to go from one side to the other (which could be 60 miles) it is nice to have the GPS to take you directly. Even to "regular" places far apart it is nice to get us there in the shortest way or time. We use it all the time for this purpose - more often than taking us someplace to begin with. This is just our use in our area. If you get outside your area it is even more wonderful.If you are in a small city or go to places in a small area - the GPS has no real advantage.

We just walk, but my best guess is that light, slower jogging would be fine. I agree with both of the other comments.

I have owned this stroller for a year now and my first choice was the City Select, but the price was prohibitive. I liked it at first and I still do, but I am now wishing I would have spent more money initially and gotten either the City Select Double or the City Mini Double. I bought this after my second daughter was born. She is now 14 months and my oldest is 3. The 3 year old is 32# and 37 inches tall (63rd percentile), and she looks a little squished in the seat. It does push really well and I liked that it came with both seats and the infant seat adapter, but I don't know how much longer my oldest will be comfortable. Also, it is kind of awkward to move once it is collapsed. I think the Baby Jogger City models fold up better. For these reasons, I am now considering buying the City Mini double. Hope this helps!

I just do a fast-paced walk on treadmills...not brave enough to run. It seems to be OK for my "speed"Sorry I couldn't be of more help
