Baby Jogger City Select or Uppababy Vista?
Does anyone have the Baby Jogger City Select? If you do, how do you like it? I'm having a hard time deciding whether to register for the Uppababy Vista or the City Select. Thanks!
Any opinions on either would be great!

I have the uppababy and love it! DS loved the bassinet as a newborn, and now is in the chair and loves that as well. Well worth the $. Don't have experience with the Baby Jogger so can't offer any advice on that.

Pretty sure the City Select is brand new so I don't think anyone has it yet...lots of moms though (including me) have the City Mini and love it.

Re: Baby Jogger City Select or Uppababy Vista?
I have the Uppa Baby Vista and absolutely love it! BUT I have recently used the Baby Jogger City Select and LOVE that too! The Uppa Baby Vista is great with the Rumbleseat but there is only one way for the child in the Rumbleseat to face - and that is backwards. My son doesn't mind at all though! The Uppa Baby pushes so easy and is a luxury stroller through and through. I love that with the Rumbleseat - the stroller is still pretty compact for a double. Plus the Rumbleseat comes off for folding and storage so, so easy. My only complaint is that the Rumbleseat is quite close to the other seat (makes it compact though) - so this doesn't allow you to use the bassinet AND the Rumbleseat. That kind of sucks! I ended up getting and using the car seat adapter way more often so that I could use the Rumbleseat.
Okay...that being said...the City Select is really, really cool! The over 16 seating options is the best! And yes, you can do a bassinet AND a toddler seat. It even holds two bassinets or two car seats. Plus, it is very well made (just like the Uppa Baby). The City Select is expensive if you starting adding all the accessories like the second seat ($160) or the car seat adapter ($60) or the bassinet ($80, I think). And the stroller is $499. But the City Select can be your single at the beginning...turn into your double with child #2...and then back to a single. It really is fabulous! If you are looking for the most versatile stroller...I'd say get the BJ City Select. The Uppa Baby is still fantastic though and comes in other fun colors...you just don't get all the seating options!
Here is a video review of the new stroller: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdeMgSm-xe0

Have you tried both strollers yourself? I opted for the Uppababy Vista when I compared it Baby jogger Elite. I have not seen the Select yet.

Re: Baby Jogger City Select or Uppababy Vista?
Yes, I have personally tried both strollers. They are both fabulous! I actually use the Uppa on an everyday basis.
The City Select is MUCH different than the BJ City Elite though.
The Uppa Baby is great - you just don't get the extra versatility in the doubles mode as you do with the City Select. Plus, the Rumbleseat ONLY holds 35 lbs when the City Select has a 45 lb weight limit per seat. So, both seats can have 45 lbs in them in doubles mode.
