I have it. I love it. I reviewed it here.

My advice is to scroll a bit. This board is very slow moving and there are stroller threads allllllllllllll over the place. You'll probably find something on the front page about BJCS.

So far, we've only used it as a single, but we really like it. DD loves it! It's definitely heavier then our Bumbleride Indie single, but that's going to happen with any double. I LOVE that it can so easily convert from a single to double. DH drives a small sedan and it easily fits in his trunk (although he does have to remove the seat from the frame, but that takes 2 seconds). It fits in my Rav4 with the seat attached.

It's not quite as easy to maneuver as our Bumbleride and I think a big part of that is that it's 4 wheels instead of 3, I'm sure it's going to be even harder to maneuver when there's a second kid in there. I do think we'll eventually end up with a side-by-side double, more along the lines of the Bumbleride or the Bob, for long walks and "off-road" type things. However, I think the BJCS will be our most used, day to day stroller.

HTH!

We have this and LOVE it! We bought it while pregnant with baby #2. My DS used it as a single stroller while i was pregnant and it was fabuous, easy to push, large canopy, easy to fold, not too heavy, love the hand break, seats are great, it pushes like a dream, you can definitely manuever it with only one hand if needed. We also bought the second seat while pregnant and the carrier/carseat attachment bar. Really we could have just bought the carrier attachment and waited to buy the second seat. We haven't used the second seat yet, DS is 21 months and DD is 11 weeks old she rides in her carseat carrier on the attachment which is great. I take off DS's seat very easily and the stroller still folds great with the carrier attachment bar still on it (i dont have to remove it to fold it up) I expect DD to ride in her carrier till about 6 months and probably around that point we will take off the carrier bar and add the extra seat! We bought DS the snack tray attachment which was cheap and very worth it, it helps him to stay in his seat and not try to escape, lol. I did really NEED a cup holder and did not want to buy the expensive baby jogger cup hold, so instead i bought the Fisher Price Travel Care Snack Pod it has an adjustable knob that you can turn to make it fit perfectly on the handle bar to hold two mommy drinks or the snack cups that it comes with. Hope this helps, good luck deciding on your stroller. I will say that on a weekly basis i find myself thinking how glad i am that we chose this stroller and i can honestly say it was the best money we ever spent on baby related stuff, i just wish we had bought it fromt he beginning with DS #1.
