Baby Jogger City Select 2 stroller reviews, questions, dimensions

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is the next generation of the iconic, convertible single-to-double tandems, the Baby Jogger City Select and its continuation with even more features, the Baby Jogger City Select Lux. The differences between the City Select 2 and its predecessors lies in an even lower weight (the weight of less than 12.2 kg / 27 lbs is actually lower than the original City Select); a new foot brake (no handbrake on the Select 2 anymore); an updated, sleeker look; an enhanced stroller frame that is ready to support 20.4 kg / 45 lbs in each seat as well as an added Baby Jogger Glider Board for a third child in the back; an added seat-back pocket, and a height-adjustable sun canopy. Overall, the Baby Jogger City Select2 folds to be 20% smaller and lighter than its leading single-to-double stroller competitors. That is 'paid' by the Select 2 having only front suspension (as opposed to the all-wheel suspension of the Select Lux), as well as an impossibility to fold the seats in half or to add two carrycots at the same time.

The second seat adapters of the BJ City Select Lux and the BJ City Select2 are different - they are not interchangeable, nor are the second seats. The City Lux's bench seat is also incompatible with the City Select 2.

The new textile colorways and fashions for the Baby Jogger City Select 2 also boast the option of the Eco Collections: four colors made from an environmentally friendly Tencel fabric that is soft, anti-bacterial, and more breathable than the normal polyester/nylon fabrics of the non-Eco Collection. The Eco Collection features an eco-leather handlebar and an included belly bar with a matching PU leather fabric.

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 offers 24 seating configurations and can be used with one child from birth (a carrycot and a reversible seat, as well as a travel system options, are available for a 3in1 solution) as well as two siblings (two car seats, two seats with inserts, or a seat and a carrycot are combinable). The additional, optional Baby Jogger City Select 2 second can also parent- or world-face so the siblings can face both forward, backward, back to back, or each other. The stadium-style seating offers a good view for both kids and ensures a better fit on the stroller frame. For an older child, the Baby Jogger Glider Board clicks onto the stroller's frame for a standing kiddy ride option in the rear.

The Baby Jogger City Select 2 is compatible with Baby Jogger, Britax, Chicco, Cybex, Graco, Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, Peg Perego, or UPPAbaby infant car seats (needing dedicated adapters) a travel system.

Your questions about the Baby Jogger City Select 2

1)

Can the belly bar for the City Select 2 be attached to the City Select Lux?

Hello, Calynne,

I am not 100 % sure as the compatibility was never stated anywhere officially, but the BJ City Select 2 has pretty much the same kind of bumper bar attachment, so, as it seems, it should be compatible with the City Select Lux (and vice versa). The best would be to get it from wśomewhere you can return it, though, just in case there would be some slight change making it not fit. I, however, think it will ;-)
