How does the City Select bassinet work? How does it work for twins?

The City Select has a soft-sided bassinet kit as an optional accessory. The bassinet kit includes a fabric bassinet shell, mattress, support bars, and apron that covers the top opening.

The bassinet kit snaps onto the metal frame of the stroller seat. To use, unsnap the seat fabric from the metal frame. Then, snap on the bassinet fabric kit. The City Select Bassinet Kit uses the sun canopy that comes with the stroller seat.

Since the bassinet uses the stroller seat frame, you will need a seat for each bassinet you wish to use. For example, if you have twins, you will need to buy the stroller, second seat, and two bassinet kits.
