Baby Jogger City Select Stroller Photos
I have heard from a few parents that are concerned about the seat size of the Baby Jogger City Select. You can see our testers in the seats in our video review but I thought I would take some actual photos to give you a good idea of how big the seat is. I tested the seat with a 6 month old, 3 year old and a 5 year old. Just so you know, here are the testers’ stats:
6 months: 18 lbs & 27 inches
3 Years old: 34 lbs & 36 inches
5 Years old: 41 lbs & 42 1/2 inches
Note: Our 5 year old tester is way past the “stroller age” and never rides in a stroller anymore. She walks! 
But she was very cooperative to help us show what a child near the weight capacity of 45 lbs looked like in the stroller seat!
Don’t forget our full review (with video) of the Baby Jogger City Select:
UPDATE: Here are some additional pictures with a Graco Snugride and the toddler seat!

Excited to find out that our local retailer had the city select at the store for a demo, we raced down to the store to check it out. A big dissapointment for what we need. Since we have twins we though this would be the perfect solution. After a closer look, we decided that the configuration is way to cramped for two. I can just picture one twin kicking the other.
Bottom line, we will go with a side by side. Maybe a baby jogger, maybe a bumbleride.
Sold my Phil and Ted and purchased this for my 2.5 year old and 11 month old. I absolutely LOVE everything about it! I have owned many strollers and this is by far my favorite!!
I heard that Baby Jogger was developing a car seat attachment for the Chicco Key Fit car seat. Has that been released yet? If not, when is it expected to release and can you use two car seat adapters at the same time or are you limited to one car seat only with this stroller.
Many thanks,
Nancy (mother to 11 month old twins!)
Hi Nancy,
I’m not sure when the Chicco adapter will be available. But yes, you can use two infant car seats at the same time with the Baby Jogger City Select!

Do you know if the quality of the bassinet (in particular, the mattress) is good enough to be used as a bassinet at home (i.e. at night for the first few months)? We haven’t been able to see and feel one in a store yet. Also, what is your opinion in terms of the need for a bassinet vs. the car seat? Thanks for your help!
Hi Hollie – thanks for the review, it helped a lot. We bought the City Select because we have a two year old and another one the way… so far we love it! However, we got the car seat attachment to use with our Graco Snugride, and it doesn’t seem to attach very securely. What was your experience in taking the photos above? Am I doing something wrong, or was it wobbly for you too? Thanks!
Hi Mike,
As far as I can remember, the Graco Snugride was a bit wobbly on the City Select. Not wobbly enough to be dangerous – but wasn’t rock solid on the stroller.

How does this thing fold in double mode?
We’re thinking about getting it when #2 arrives so our then 2 year old can ride along with the baby still in his/her carseat (Maxi Cosi). I realize it should fold fine when the carseat is removed with one seat attached, but what about when both seats are attached? Does it have to come completely apart?
I really love my Maxi Cosi Pearle stroller and I’m sick that I’m already stroller shopping again!! It was a dream stroller for one child (light, compact, maneuverable, posh looking, carseat adaptable… sigh!).
Maybe what I should have asked is this (after looking at the pictures a little closer… sorry): How does it fit in double mode when folded? Does it still fold one handed in double mode? I’d love to see that in action… maybe I need to find it in a store near my house and take this bad boy for a spin!
What infant car seat fitst the best with this stroller? I see that the Greco is a bit wobbly
I think the Maxi Cosi Mico works very well with the City Select. It fits on the car seat adapters very well. Very sturdy.
Did you try the peg perego with the city select? If so, how did it work? Do you think any of the car seats can be used with the toddler seat facing forward and in front on highest canopy setting? If so, which one? Thanks!!
I just got the city select with the 2nd seat and I love it. I was nervous about the seat being too small for my 2 yr old, b/c many reviews said the seat was small. But my 2 yr old fits in it very well and he has more than enough room with room to grow. I love it and it drives very smoothly and is the best stroller.
Your pictures were a BIG help! I was trying to figure out the best layout for the Graco Snugride + toddler seat. The baby jogger website and city select manual do a poor job of showing the different configurations, so thanks much for the pics!
For those using the Graco Snugride, I just checked mine and it is indeed rock solid, with the carseat on top and the toddler seat below. I adjusted the “T” bar and straps a few times to get the fit just right, but when the straps are attached it’s not wobbly at all for me. Just be sure that you adjust everything a bit, and that the black bars fit under the carseat properly. it takes a little time, but you can make it solid.
The issue that I’m now having is that with the toddler seat in the lower position, facing forward, I really have to SQUEEZE the toddler seat in with the canopy on (lowest position). I’m wondering if the new snugrides are slightly longer than the one in your pic? you seem to have plenty of room, but mine is incredibly tight, so much that it’s hard to put the carseat on the stroller.
Thanks for pics. Very big help!! One question: The pic with both seats attached and folded….how were the seats set up before you folded it? Thanks!
The seats were both facing out (away from mom!).
looking to test out a city select..does anyone know what stores have them in stock?
Thanks for the review. Just curious about the Maxi Cosi seat – you said that one fits the best with the adapter. The instructions that come with the adapter list 2 models of the Maxi Cosi – do they both work well with the adapter, or is one better than the other?
Thanks!
Bergstroms in Irvine and Anaheim, California have this stroller to demo and they have all the colors on the showroom. They also have GREAT prices for this stroller in the store. (More than 100 less than Internet prices!)
Has anyone found the city select to be wobbly with just one toddler in it. We bought it last week, used it once, and now today when we used it, if feels like it has a slight shimmy and I cant find out what the problem is? Anyone else experience this and trouble shoot?
I have been using the City Select with the Mico Maxi Cosi car seats since I got my stroller in January and I LOVE IT! The car seats are easy to snap in and take out of the frame and very sturdy when attached.
I recently started using the seats for my twin boys and am having fun playing around with the different configurations. THANK YOU for posting the picture and details of how to fold the fram with both seats attached — I had some trouble figuring out how to do that without removing the seats.
