City Select and DSNG?

fets10

I've been researching the boards and it seems like the City Select stroller is a really great option.  However, I understand that some people don't prefer it for using with infant seats.  I was considering the DSNG for the infant seats.  Would it make sense to use the DSNG at the beginning for the infant car seats and then transition to the City Select?  Or should I just plan on using the City Select with the car seat adapter...  Thx.

I would do two.

I would urge you to also look at a SBS.  I personally perfer my Bumbleride over the City Select.

(not to say I'm not going to pick myself up a CS as well).

I had a DSNG and got my BJCS when the twins were about 3.5 months old. I never wanted to use the DSNG after that, because it drove so much better. 

If I could do it again, I'd get the BJCS and car seat adapters, especially if I were having babies in the spring/summer and would be out and about a lot.  The biggest benefit is just taking the infant seats in/out of the car without having to unbuckle and re-buckle babies.

My DSNG only cost $15 used so that's the only reason I can't complain too much about it.

I had both (I was given a used DSNG).  I got the car seat adapters when the babies were about 5 weeks old and I never used the dsng again.  The only downside to the CS with the car seat adapters is that b/c the baby in the front is lower than the baby closest to the person pushing the stroller, you can't see the front baby as well.

I hated DSNG! Biggest waist of money if you ask me. I had graco tandem that i prefered for the infant seats to snap in and now I use side by side

I had a DSNG for about a month and then got the CS.  I am still using it with the car seat adapters!  I use it like this for daycare drop offs and pick ups and running errands.  I love it as my DSNG!  It steers soooo much better than the regular DSNG.  We use the seats for walks and when we'll be out for awhile.

Thanks for your perspectives, ladies.  This is super helpful.

i wish i had my Select when they were both in infant seats- would have been so much nicer than the LOOOONG DSNG.  I acutally had the Kolcraft Contours that i used as a DSNG - it's the same length but drives better than the DSNG... but i would have preferred the Select 100x's more b/c it's shorter and drives even better.

No sense in having both, IMO.

and yes- it's great to have a SBS stroller, too - but there are few that take 2 car seats, and those that do are big/bulky and not fast/easy to get in/out of a car like a DSNG is... so I'd just get the Select + a SBS all-terrain stroller to use for long walks on bumpy sidewalks, grass, etc.... but use the Select for indoor stuff, quick trips, etc.
