Pros: Good price; Easy to fold/unfold; Easy to push; Good canopy; Pretty solid stroller

Cons: Seats are not very comfortable or stable. They are soley supported by an adjustable strap that lowers or raises the seat. My twin girls always seemed to be uneven when sitting. I don't mean at different levels. I mean the left part of the back was sinking deeper than the right or vice versa.

Also, I think for an avid jogger-someone who runs on a straight path for a long time- it would be just fine. For me though, I am more of a fast paced walker. I like walking in my neighborhood and along paths. The stationary front wheel makes it very hard to turn or even make a simple bend in the road. You have to constantly pick up the front end. It just wasn't for me. I returned this and am getting a swivel front wheel jogger, which gives you the option to lock the front wheel.

I bought this double jogger stroller because I have two kids 9months and 2-1/2 years. I want to take them both out for a brisk walk in the morning. I have the single jogger from this same brand and so I bought the double model. Unfortunately the double model has its seats so my kid's shoulders overlap and they want to sit up straight and can't because the seats do not go upright all the way. I am really upset by this and now I am searching for a new jogger stroller. I would not recommend this to anyone.

This stroller is a great improvement over previous joggers. My biggest complaint about the joggers was the horrible sun protection. This new model has an adjustable sun shade that can be moved easily. Also there are secure cup holders and a covered space for keys and a cell phone etc. I'm not a runner but we enjoy our daily walks and we really like it. The fixed front wheel is a pain but I've gotten used to it.
Nice features- good value for the price.

I bought this stroller for my infant and preschool aged daughters since it was the only one I could find in the store that would accomodate my 3 year old's long legs. We took it to a theme park and although the ride was comfortable, and it was pretty easy to push, I also found that the kids seemed to "tip" into eachother and that the seats just didnt sit straight no matter how we adjusted them.

We also found to my extreme disappointment that it would not fit into my trunk without removing the front wheel. I have a pretty big car, so that surpised me. Needless to say, this was returned to the store.

I did a lot of comparing of double jogging strollers before I bought this one. For the price it was a great value. The others that I really liked were over 300.00 and they were basically the same thing. I like how the canopy is adjustable and the parent tray. I don't use mine just for walking, it's my main stroller. My 2 are 9 months and 2 1/2 yrs and yes they do sit uneven, but so far that hasn't driven me too crazy. It pushes very easily, my older 2 love to push this one. My only complaint is that the material on the seat has ripped out 2 x/s now, under normal wear and use. I am taking it back and trying one last time, if it does it again then I'm getting the one over 300.00.

I love this stroller. I had a Graco DuoGlider and I like this one much better. Much lighter so it doesn't bother my back as much. Might have to take front tire off but very simple. Boys don't sit uneven if you now how to make it that way....have to make sure seat is positioned correctly...very simple fix...goes over everything and wonderful in the snow :)

I bought this stroller about 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. It folds up so easy that Grandparents can do it without a sweat. It takes some time getting used to the front wheel not turning to the sides, but the big wheels are great and ride over any and everything without a sweat, even in dirt. The seats recline for younger kids and seatbelts adjust really easily. Has lots of storage area. With other strollers I found it uncomfortable to push because the handle was so low, I'm only 5'7, but this was perfect.
My babies love this and always want to go for rides in it.

I am surprised at most everyone's review about the jogger being difficult to turn. All jogging strollers (with stationary front wheel) require the front wheel to be lifted in order to make a turn. If you've never used a jogger, it's annoying, but it's the nature of a jogger. It has to be that way so that when a person is jogging with the stroller, it will stay on a straight path; otherwise it would move side to side and be somewhat out of control. It's very easy to get used to. Jogging strollers were originally made for jogging, however in recent years people have started using them for walking and general getting around- not its original intention, so I think people who walk might have the expectation of an easier-to-turn front wheel. It takes some getting used to, but one can get used to it fairly easily. If you're not using it for jogging/exercise, then perhaps the newer models with the dual front swivel wheels would work better for you.

I purchased this same model of double jogger two years ago right before my son was 6 months old and my daughter had just turned 3. They are now 2 1/2 and 5 and am just now having to replace the stroller!! I am so in love with this stroller! I actually became upset when it started to act up lately in fear of not having access to it!! We have put somewhere around 4500-5000 miles on it. We walk a daily 8 miles...weather permitting. I have done numerous jogs with it up to around 5-6 miles at a time. It has been all over including on an airplane a few times...other than the size and a minor hassle here and there with the gate checking it wasn't bad...nothing different than checking a regular single full sized stroller. The only thing really wrong with it now is that the front wheel is no longer straight due to normal wear and tear, which is making it a little harder to push easy. I've noticed that the kids do sit a little uneven at times but they have never once commented on it. Yes it isn't super padded but once again never has been mentioned by my children. With the amount of use we have had from it the light padding is nice so you can just hose it down and it dries fast. I feel that if the padding is an issue it can be easily solved by some small pillows or blankets. I feel that this wasn't designed with luxury in mind but for the active ones that want minimal weight from the stroller and not from the excess padding and extra features. I always pack along drinks, snacks, diapers and extra other items and have never had a problem on where to put them. It took me a few days to get used to picking up the front wheel to do big turns but haven't any trouble turning slight curves or on paths with just leaving the wheel down. I actually can't stand pushing our full sized single stroller now after using this one so much!! I have a friend with the exact same stroller as me with a great deal of wear and tear on hers, purchased the same time as mine and actually still has life in hers left. Needless to say she loves hers too!! I highly recommend this to anybody that is very active and wants something durable! I have never had to worry on walks about it falling apart on me and my wheels keep their air pressure extremely well especially with the amount of use my has daily. I only have to pump them up every few months or so which takes less than 2 mins. I highly recommend this stroller and am excited to be buying my second!! Hopefully my 2nd will be just as great ast this one!!

We have twin girls, 3 months old, and this stroller has been great. It is perfect for walks outside and is very easy to manuever. There is no struggling around bumps, sticks or sand. The stroller rolls over any terrain easily (believe me, my husband has tested it out!)
The babies have had no problems with staying in place, and the seats adjust so that they lean back comfortably.
The stroller is a little wide for tight shopping in malls, etc., but is fine for wide-aisled places.
I do have to take the wheels off to fit it in my car trunk, but they are easy to remove and replace, so it is not a big deal.
The biggest problem that I have is that I cannot find a rain canopy for the double stroller. They make one for the single, but I don't think they have one for the double. I am going to try another brand of rain cover and I hope it fits.
