I already have a City Select and a P&T Explorer. I'd trade in the Explorer for a Vibe, and add a City Mini double and a Maclaren double umbrella to my fleet (I would also have to expand my house to be able to store all of these strollers, but you did say money was no object). Hi, I'm roundtheworldgirl and I'm a stroller junkie.
For those of you answering the BJ City Select...I have read in reviews that the seats are really short and so it does not work well with tall kids. My DS#1 is 19 months and already 34 1/2 inches. I have been looking at that stroller to get before DS#2 gets here, but am worried that DS#1 is going to feel cramped...any experiences with that?

The 2011 model has seats that are longer than the 2010. I haven't seen them yet but that's the consensus. We have the 2010 model but are planning to order a 2011 2nd seat soon. We figure the younger one (TTC) can take the smaller seat until #1 grows out of the stroller altogether, then we'll just switch the younger kid into the bigger seat.

No, they are not longer. They are deeper. Meaning that the portion the child sits on is a little bit longer. The seat height is the same. And yes, it is short. My DD1 is 33.5 inches (with a long torso) and her head almost touches the canopy when it's extended. This, and several other reasons, are why we are selling our CS. We got a P&T instead.
Well I would have 2...the one I have--BJ CS AND a BOB dualie for walks and the beach.
This. And thankfully I have both.

My almost 6 year old can still ride in the stroller, and he's almost 4 feet tall, his legs would be a bit cramped but he can still fit in the seat. He doesn't actually ride in the seat, but I put him in to see how far I could push the seat capacity. He is just 45 pounds now so he wouldn't be able to ride much longer anyway. The other 4 ride much more often and fit just fine.
Mountain Buggy +one due out in August ish. We have the Urban Jungle at the moment so we'll probably sell it and buy the +one at some stage. I think the MB are a billion times better than the P&T but then I live in a town that pushes these buggies to their limits. I think if you're just using them round the streets it doesn't matter as much.
Thanks for everyone's replies about the height on the seat...I think I might stay away from it because of that! Still trying to figure out what is best though!
Re: If you could have ANY double stroller (if money is no object)...
Baby Jogger City Select, and I do have it!! Love it!
This. We are planning on TTC #2 soon so we decided to get it ahead of time.
