City Select 2 (Double)
7.7/10 overall£899.00
A modular single-to-double tandem stroller with over a dozen seating configurations, though the second seat is bought separately.
The verdict
A modular tandem system offering over a dozen seating configurations, with both seats usable from birth in full recline and no separate carrycot needed — best for parents wanting flexibility to reconfigure as children grow. The second seat is sold separately, adding roughly £200-£240, and UK stock and spares are less established than UK-first brands.
The City Select 2 is a modular tandem system: it starts as a single stroller and, with the optional second seat kit, reconfigures into more than a dozen layouts — both seats facing forward, one facing each way, or one child on a standing board — which is genuinely useful when siblings are different ages and don't want to sit in the same orientation. Folded width comes in narrower than any side-by-side design in this list, which matters for storage and boot space, but as with the iCandy Peach 7 Double, the tandem layout means the rear seat sits lower and further back than a side-by-side rival like the Out n About Nipper Double.
Where the City Select 2 differs from the Peach 7 is the buying model: the base stroller is priced closer to a single-seat pushchair, with the second seat sold as a separate add-on, so the total cost of going from one child to two lands in the middle of this list rather than at the premium end. Both seats are approved for use from birth in the fully reclined position, so newborn twins or a newborn-and-toddler combination are both catered for without needing a separate carrycot, unlike the Nipper Double or Donkey 5 Twin.
It's best for parents who want flexibility to reconfigure seating as children grow and change needs, and who'd rather buy the second seat only once they actually need it. The one real limitation is UK availability and support — Baby Jogger's City Select range is more established in the US and Australian markets, so UK stock, spares and accessories can be patchier than the more locally established Bugaboo, iCandy or Out n About ranges.

How we scored it
Manoeuvrability & Width
How easily the buggy handles kerbs, shop aisles and standard UK doorways, and how manageable it is for one adult to push and steer one-handed.
Narrow tandem fold, though the standing-board configurations add length.
From-Birth Versatility
How well the buggy adapts across an age gap between siblings or twins — carrycot/car seat compatibility from newborn, seat configurations, and how long it stays useful as children grow.
Both seats work from birth without a separate carrycot, and reconfigure as children grow.
Value for Money
What you get for the price versus rivals in this list — build quality, included accessories, and resale value weighed against RRP.
Competitive base price but the required second seat add-on narrows the gap to premium rivals.

Frequently asked questions
What configurations does the City Select 2 offer?+
Over a dozen layouts — both seats facing forward, one facing each way, or one child on a standing board — useful when siblings are different ages and don't want the same orientation.
Do I need to buy both seats at once?+
No — it starts as a single stroller, with the second seat sold separately as an add-on, adding roughly £200-£240 to go from single to double, so the total cost lands in the middle of this category.
Can it be used from birth?+
Yes — both seats are approved for use from birth in the fully reclined position, so newborn twins or a newborn-and-toddler combination are catered for without a separate carrycot.
Is it easy to find spares and accessories in the UK?+
Less so than UK-established brands — Baby Jogger's City Select range is more established in the US and Australian markets, so UK stock and spares can be patchier than Bugaboo, iCandy or Out n About.
