I've had our City Select for eight or nine months now, and I wouldn't say it's rickety. I find it handles well and not hard to steer. It's not the smallest double buggy out there, though. I've only done direct side-by-side comparisons with the P&T (which my husband wanted us to have and I was dead set against). It's a few inches longer, but not by much.
What I really like about it is the versatility of the seat configurations. A woman with an iCandy (I'm not sure if she had Pear or Peach Blossom) stopped me to ask about it. She was saying that her pushchair seats don't do the same as mine and wished it did. I usually have toddler at front, facing out, and the baby facing me. I also love that it has a very large shopping basket.
However, I've not used it with a carrycot. To do that, the toddler seat has to be rear-facing, and I didn't think my son would be too happy with that arrangement. We have the Cabriofix carseat, so used that instead.
Also, I've not yet figured out how to make the seats recline more than a bit when in doubles mode. That's not proved an issue for us, but thought I'd warn you.
I do use it quite a lot in singles mode, too, when I've only got one of the boys. It's very like an 'ordinary' pushchair. We used to have a Quinny Buzz and it's pretty similar, although I think a smidgen narrower.
I'm trundling up and down Balham High Rd most days, feel free to stop me and have a look if you see us
