Baby Jogger City Select - worth buying?
We have been looking at the Nipper 360 double but am now wondering if the Baby Jogger would be better as tandem/single? It is stupidly expensive so it had better do everything other than make my breakfast !
Does anyone have this and what do you think about it? Worth the money?
Oh, and DS will be nearly 2 when 2nd one arrives so not sure how much long term use we will get from it as a tandem.

I have to say, it's really easy to push even with the combined weight and I love the way they could see each other, or the one behind could see over the top of the other when both facing forward or backward. I'm looking forward to the versatility that it will bring having 2 of different ages.
You could always get it as a single, then buy the extra seat if you feel you will need it once bubs is here. It makes it dramatically less expensive that way, and gives you chance to get used to it too. They're also holding their value pretty well on Ebay at the moment. Hth xx
I shall have to keep my eyes open for a decent second hand one.

I found this review really useful when choosing our pram:

Rough price guide:

Hubby wanted me to use our current travel system for dd, then use a sling for new bubs...which would be all well and good until new bubs gets to the same size as dd ! 'If that's what we need, that's what we need' he said. He was more keen to play with it when it arrived than I was xx
I reckon the final price could well be over ??700!!!

I have one, and it's so much better than any other buggy I've ever had. It's so easy to push, it's really versatile, unlike other tandems both children have a good view, it's parent or forward facing, the shopping basket is really spacious, and can accomodate a carry cot, seat unit, or car seat, if you use it as a double, the two children can either face each other or away from each other, or back to back - it's fabulous! It also doesn't take up as much room in the car as you'd expect as you can take wheels off really easily if you need to, and you can stack the seat units, so it really doesn't take up that much room.
The one thing I found frustrating though is that very few websites advertise the price they are selling for - you have to call the companies up and ask them to price it up for you (with whatever extras you want, second seats etc). However, a lot of the retailers will price-match, so if you can find it cheaper elsewhere, but prefer the service of another store, they will usually match the price for you. Tesco Direct sell them, so if they do the deal where you can triple your clubcard vouchers again, you could get it at a reasonable price off there.
Find somewhere that stocks it and have a play - it's a really good buggy!
