Description
The Baby Jogger City Select 2 Travel System pairs the City Select 2 Stroller with the City GO 2 Infant Car Seat. A travel system ensures your infant car seat and stroller work seamlessly together, and allows you to move a sleeping baby from your car to the stroller.
Baby Jogger City Select 2 Stroller
This lightweight modular stroller offers up to 24 configurations. It converts from a single stroller to a double or even a triple with a second seat, infant car seat or glider board (all sold separately). Plenty of room between the seats means more comfort for your kiddos.
It compactly folds smaller than other single-to-double strollers, plus, it has a lightweight design, adjustable telescoping handlebar and ample storage for everyday travels. A seat recline and calf support keep little ones comfy during your outings. All-terrain wheels and suspension ensure a smooth ride.
Baby Jogger City GO 2 Infant Car Seat
Designed for 4 to 30 lbs and up to 32”, the City GO 2 infant car seat provides a safe spot for baby to join in on family adventures from day one.
It securely installs in any car or taxi, even without a car seat base, thanks to the taxi-safe belt path. Or, use the RAPIDLOCK Base, which installs in seconds using belt-tensioning technology. The Anti-Rebound bar provides an extra layer of safety for baby.
It features a quiet canopy design that helps keep a sleeping baby asleep. The base can be installed using your vehicle belt or the integrated push button LATCH, and offers four recline positions to ensure a level install. TRUE Test Plus enhanced safety standards provide additional peace of mind.

City Select 2 Stroller:
This stroller is a solid 4/5. It’s easy to assemble out of the box, and the fold is a pretty simple single step, though it requires 2 hands. The handle adjusts to three levels to suit any height operator comfortably. The seat seemed comfortable for both kids, and a Baby Jogger representative confirmed that the seat is safe from birth with an infant insert in the reclined position. The push is pretty good with a single rider and I could use it one-handed on both pavement and grass. It was a bit bumpy with my infant in the seat, but having my 35lb toddler in the seat, I could tell the front suspension was doing its job. I love that it’s easy to move the seat either parent or world facing, and it’s very easy to attach the seat. With lower adaptors (sold separately), it was easy to either install the seat or carseat adaptors to make the stroller into a double. Other huge pluses of this stroller are the humungous basket (could easily fit a giant diaper bag and much more, or a load of groceries) and the fact that it’s easy to fit into the trunk of my compact SUV.
I was disappointed that the stroller doesn’t have a standing fold, which makes it harder to store. I also had some difficulties with the car seat adaptors—while it was simple to get the carseat clipped in, I had to really fight to remove it. Lastly, while I really appreciate the 45lb weight limit, it definitely took a ton of muscle to push the stroller with my large toddler in the front of the stroller and my infant in the carseat at the back when used on non-level and uneven pavement. This might not be an issue with more evenly weighted kids, or with the larger kid in the back, and it was really nice to have the option to have the baby close to me so I could watch her while pushing both kids.
City GO 2 Carseat:
I would rate the carseat a 3.5/5. It is beautiful and the fabric and canopy seem very solid. My infant seemed very comfortable and the headrest fit well. The no-rethread harness is one of my favorite parts, so easy to readjust as baby grows. The base is on the lighter side and took a little muscle, but was an easy install using the latch system—with the anti-rebound bar, the install felt very secure!
However, while I appreciate the ability to install the seat using the seatbelt, the manual states that many seatbelts are not long enough to use the route around the back, including my car, which was very disappointing. Even without using the back routing, it was difficult to get a firm install without the base. The car seat is also on the more solid side and was a bit heavy to carry around with baby inside.
All in all, this is an amazing system that could easily serve your family from birth through childhood. It is a well thought out full-sized stroller with so many customizable options to make it work for virtually any family, from one to three-plus children.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.
When using the infant seat in the car, the base installed easily and the seat clicked easily in. I did not utilize the belt path without the base. The infant seat was heavy to get out. I struggled to pull it out from my SUV. Maybe someone with a car would have an easier time but it required a lot of muscle.
I love the options that this travel system offers for a growing family. My older son is out of a stroller, but this would be great if we add to our family! This is a great feature for those that need it.
My favorite feature of this travel system was the HUGE basket for storage underneath. A downfall to this basket was that when using the seat (not infant seat) it was difficult to step down from the seat to the ground without stepping in the basket.
The City Select 2 Travel System is a great product for our family! This travel system is a fantastic option with a toddler and a newborn. I can see our family using this stroller until both of the kids are too big to ride in it any longer (which will be quite awhile since the weight limit is much more than either of my children currently weigh). The stroller itself is very easy to assemble and very sturdy, it only took about 15 minutes to put together. The car seat adapters were very easy to install onto the stroller and make it especially easy to take our newborn out for appointments or walks. The toddler seat is quite long and is great for my toddler who is almost 3 feet tall, he can really relax and stretch out and he loves the sunshade. The stroller itself, stores very well in the back of my suv and although the stroller is bigger than our previous single stroller, it folds up and is surprisingly compact. It is very easy to unfold and also very easy to attach the car seat. The car seat clicks easily into the stroller with the car seat adapters and is very sturdy. I actually had a harder time getting the car seat off of the stroller because of how secure it is.
The ease and maneuverability of this stroller really has helped me especially after having a c-section. Another great thing about this stroller is the large basket and the amount of storage it has. I can put my diaper bag and a small cooler into the basket and still have room for blankets, toys, etc. I also appreciate that the handle bar can be moved higher or lower, I’m 5 feet, so being able to adjust the bar makes my life much easier! Overall I think that this travel system is great for our family with our new addition and we will be able to use it for years!!
We installed our car seat base right away using the latch method and it was very easy to install, the level was especially helpful in this process. Prior to the car seat base installation we did not try to use the taxi-safe belt path without the base. Our baby was in the NICU so the hospital had to check base installation as well as the car seat in general. The base and car seat passed their testing for our baby!
The car seat is very sturdy and has great cushioned insert for a newborn. Once we put our baby in this car seat, he is ready to nap because of how comfortable he is. I would like it if the straps when using the insert were able to be adjusted so they are right at shoulder level, but unfortunately it looks like there is only one slot for the straps and it is under shoulder level, so adjusting the straps once the baby is in the seat can be a tad difficult. Otherwise, I feel very confident in my child’s safety and comfort while riding in this car seat!
This travel system is great, but I think that my favorite thing about this product is the ability to move multiple seats into multiple different combinations! This is great for when I’m taking my infant to the doctor, while my toddler is at preschool. I can easily install the car seat adapters and take off the toddler seat and vice versa. It is so quick and easy to change seating combinations! When I received this product I did assume that it would come with attachments for the second seat in addition to the car seat adapters, but unfortunately that is not the case. The second seat adapters need ordered separately to have both seats installed at the same time, otherwise you just have to swap out seats and use as a single stroller, which I’ve been enjoying!
My family and I have really enjoyed the City Select 2 Travel System, and want to thank Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing my family with this great, quality product!
The Car Seat
Pros:
- Quick install base! It was a nice tight install too! We love the base design. We also tried it using only the seat belt with both the base and without and we’re highly impressed with how that didn’t compromise the tightness of the install.
- Adjustable headrest is amazing! We were bothered by how our baby’s head hung down when she fell asleep! This makes her travel so comfy.
- High quality, comfortable fabric!
Cons:
- It will be hard to clean because of how the headrest is attached
- It is a bit heavier than my last car seat
The Stroller
Pros:
- Pushes like a dream! Honestly, I’ve never had a stroller so easy, light, and smooth to push.
- So many configuration options! Especially after we get a second seat or the glider.
-The canopy is huge and high quality! We got caught in a rainstorm on a walk and only the babies toes got wet! I love the magnet on the peekaboo window so I can look at her while we walk.
-Storage basket is so big and it expands!
-Car seat clicks in nicely!
Cons:
-Car seat needs an adapter to attach
- You can’t use the car seat and the stroller seat that comes with it at the same time because you need inserts for the bottom space to attach a second seat. I wish it came with those.
- No cup holder
The car seat is quickly adjusted for baby’s height by sliding the head support adjuster on the back. I like that the head support is an actual part of the car seat instead of being a removable cushion. The car seat feels nicely cushioned and my baby seems comfortable when riding in it. I found installing the car seat base to be simple when following the step by step instruction manual.
The stroller is smooth to push and turn. The handle bar on the stroller and car seat have comfortable grip. I especially like how the stroller seat reclines with just pushing a button and can go all the way back. The stroller seat and car seat are easily switched since they both click into the stroller base. I like that the stroller has the ability to be a double stroller with either the car seat or a second seat. This makes the stroller very practical for our growing family. One of my favorite things about the stroller is how slim it is when folded up. Opening the stroller up is just as easy as folding it up. The stroller and car seat are extremely easy to use. Every part of them is easily adjusted.
