Baby Jogger Parent Console Universal

We have the City Classic from 2008 and it velcros to the back of the stroller perfectly. The only problem is that it's meant for keys, cellphones and other small items, not a water bottle which was the main reason why I bought it. Because there is not enough space, it doesn't fit my aluminum Sigg, it only fits a plastic water bottle because you have to reshape it. If I had known this, I would've purchased something else.

We have the BJ City Select for our two kids - which we LOVE LOVE LOVE! Best stroller. I eagerly awaited the release of the BJ Universal Parent Console and desperately wished it would've worked on one of their own products. But, it just didn't. Awesome features include a great silver-lined middle pocket (velcro closure) for keeping snack bags cool with an icepack.

I figured this console has three holders, so it would be worth it. The compartment meant for drinks is about the size of a soda can and I have been able to use it with most drinks. However, the larger mini-cooler compartment can also be used to carry wider drinks like my Nalgene bottle. If my husband is along we can use the smaller compartment as a second cup holder too. Other than drinks, I love the velcro enclosures on the two compartments for storing my keys, cell phone, cash, napkins, etc. when when out for a stroll or shopping at the farmer's market.
