With three kids under four, including twins, I've had my fair share of double strollers. The Baby Jogger City Select and the Britax B -Ready look very similar, but they're not when used in doubles mode. Which stroller is better really depends on the age of your kids. For my twins or different age kids, I found the City Select had more advantages. However, if your kids are not close in age or weight, the Britax is worth looking at.

Some considerations:

* The City Select stroller was Baby Gizmo's top tandem stroller in 2010 -- the 2011 model has been redesigned with deeper and firmer seats, improving an already excellent stroller. The Britax B-Ready is a first-generation stroller and still has some areas that could be improved upon.

* Of the two, the City Select is a better stroller for twins because of the 45 lb. max weight allowance for each of its full-size seats (child weight + baggage for a total of 90 lbs max for the stroller), foot wells that... Read more

I'm very pleased with my Britax B-Ready Stroller, and the second seat is amazing! I used to have a Phil and Ted's Dash, but my 2-year-old was starting to get too big for the second seat already.. I'm very glad Britax has added the sun canopy for the second seat - Phil and Ted's only has it in some models.

The seat is very roomy and it's wider than the toddler seat, yet shorter. My 2-year-old fits there with all his winter gear on with no problem. He wants to ride in the bottom instead of the bigger seat, actually :)

Very high quality seat - very easy to put on and take off. Also -- IT RECLINES!! It goes all the way flat so my newborn can take his naps there when I use the stroller as a double. I Highly recommend this seat and the whole Britax B-Ready-system.

After much research and many test drives we settled on the Britax B-Ready stroller with this 2nd seat. After a couple months and lots of walks and trips to the mall and zoo we are still very pleased with our choice.

The Britax 2nd seat sets itself apart from some of the comparable Phil & Teds models we looked at in that it has a sun canopy, it reclines, and you can fold the stroller with the rumble seat attached. Being able to fold the stroller without taking this seat off was a MUST for me. I've got my hands plenty full as it is and didn't want to need to be disassembling a stroller in a parking lot in the rain/snow/heat. The recline feature is fantastic for my now 4mo old. She loves to sit up while she's awake, but when she falls asleep the recline is very smooth, quiet, and easy. The sun shade could be larger. It doesn't cover all that well when the seat is reclined, but it's sure better than nothing!

I would definitely buy the B-Ready and this 2nd seat again... Read more
