Review on Get The Ultimate Versatility With Baby Jogger City Select LUX Stroller - 20 Ways To Ride, Convertible And Quick-Fold Design! by Nicole Torres

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best investment for 2 or more kids, no matter the age gap

This stroller is basically a Cadillac in the stroller world, and be darn if I don't love every minute of it. Originally having kids 5 years apart I assumed I would not need a stroller for both of the kids. Then I began thinking about our much more active lifestyle than when I had my 5 year old, and how much walking we do whether its around town, at the zoo, with family, or even just shopping. At 5 they can walk by themselves, hold your hands, and know to stay close; however their little legs get tired after 10 min and you end up carrying them in some way shape or form. I found the City Select Lux because my sister in law had bought it who is expecting, the boutique they bought it from recommended if they wanted more than one kid rather than upgrade to a double stroller in a few years, simply buy the double stroller now that converts from 1-2. This was GENIUS advice! After looking at strollers here and there for 2 kids it became apparent to me that my 5 year old (who is 49 lbs) would not fit in just any stroller, nor did I really want to 5 point harness her in when my sister in law mentioned the bench seat for the Lux. My eyes rolled at $90 for a price tag and a normal price tag of $629 for a stroller. And then I opened the box and pulled it out. Immediately I was impressed by not only the "lux" of the item but the fact it was beyond sturdy and would be lasting our family for a significant amount of time whether we're done with two kids or we decide to have another. The ease of being able to transition it from one to two and move seats around and adapters is incredible, I can't wait till the day that we're at the zoo walking in single stroller mode when my 5 year old gets tired and wants a ride and all I have to do is move baby to the lower brackets for her to hop on the bench, I'll look at my husband and thank him again for his support in purchasing such a wonderful mode of transportation for our family!Keep in mind the following: it is as heavy as reviewers say, so if you're looking for something to carry a lot look elsewhere; it is difficult to fold at first as they get stuck but I truly believe these will loosen as I use it more; and the price is hefty but you get what you pay for and this stroller can literally hold 135 lbs of children (two seats up to 45 lbs with the 45 lb glider board)Overall this is a solid investment for a family, and while the price sometimes is a deterrent I fully believe if you started having kids now this would last you the 10 years you may need a stroller if you have 2 or more kids. You'd never need another stroller.

Pros
  • Strollers & Accessories
Cons
  • The stroller's warranty period is relatively short, leading to concerns about long-term usage
