Good stroller for small children, October 5, 2010
I have an eight month old and a nearly 3 year old. I already have a double Maclaran stroller that I use for the mall, traveling, etc but wanted a stroller that I could use for jogging and walks in the neighborhood. I used the stroller for one jog and it pushed very well. I liked the double sunshades that can be adjusted for the angle of the sun. The rubber inserts on the parent cupholders are a great feature since my water bottles always fell out of the shallow cupholders on my single jogger while I was jogging. There isn't too much storage - just the basket underneath and the parent tray. No pockets on the backs of the seats or on the sunshades like my single jogger has. However, the basket underneath is easy to get to and since I was using this primarily as a jogging stroller, I didn't have much to bring with me. I love that the front wheel locks/unlocks by pushing a button near the handlebar instead of having to bend over and flip a switch near the wheel.
I got this stroller because I really liked the price range and I liked the snack and cup trays for the kids. Unfortunately, I am returning this stroller. My eight month old fit just fine but my almost 3 year old is 37.5" and was not comfortable. The seatback is only 17" tall so her head stuck up beyond the seatback so she couldn't rest her head back comfortably. Also, the way the seat is designed, her legs struck straight out instead of bending at the knee like she is sitting in a chair. As a result, one leg sort of rested on the wheel cover and the other dangled off. She tried to twist sideways and bend her legs so she could rest both on the wheel cover, but I could tell she wasn't comfortable. I am wanting to use this stroller for a couple more years and I know there will never be enough room for both of my girls' legs once the eight month old gets taller.
This would be a great jogging stroller for anyone with younger and shorter kids. However, as the kids grow, there just isn't enough head or leg space.

Satisfied, July 22, 2010
This review is from: Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogger (Sports)
I guess it's a fairly new product since I can't seem to find any reviews for it anywhere. We have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, and wanted a stroller for every day walks and occasional trips. We don't expect to do much jogging (read almost none) but wanted the larger bicycle type wheels for a softer ride. We've had this about a week now and are very pleased with it. Some points they don't mention in the description-
-The handlebar height is adjustable
-the front wheel can be locked and unlocked remotely from a button and trigger gimmick located just in front of the handlebar (yeah for you joggers!)
-it comes with speakers (placed in mesh pockets in the sun shades) that you can connect to an mp3 player
-The seat belts can be adjusted to 3 different heights
-parents also get two cup holders (with rubber inserts, no less, to keep your drink from spilling!) and a small caddy to hold keys/ cell phone/ mp3 player etc.
The seat backs recline individually and are adjusted by tightening/loosening a belt, but the way they're adjusted is much easier that some others I've seen.
The seat backs are about 17"- 18" tall, unlike some 12-13" ones I've seen.
The seats are reclined back a bit even in the most 'upright' setting but if you want your kid to to be able to look out and front more easily, you can use the seat insert to prop his/her head.
It's very easy to maneuver and seems to have a really soft ride (the kids bottoms will thank you :) )
The size and weight are the only gripes I have about this stroller. It's fairly heavy and very large (even though the rear wheels can be snapped off) when folded (takes up 3/4 of the space in my mid size SUV). It should fit into the trunk of a standard car but you wouldn't have room for too much else.
Considering what you pay for it - it's a great buy.

Get Out and RUN!, February 28, 2011
This review is from: Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogger (Sports)
I HIGHLY recommend this jogging stroller to anyone looking to get back into shape. It is easy to put together (I did it in less than 30minutes)and it's easy to fold up and carry around (it took me a few trys to learn how to fold it up but within 2 uses I have it down pat!) The visor is great for when wind is coming at the kids because it swivels down in front of them. There is room for your MP3 player in the area of the speaker (a few reviews said they had to put it in cup holder, not true) and the button to push for the locking swivel wheel is wonderful. I normally have it swiveling but when I pick up the pace or am heading down a hill I lock it up to have more control. I have gone on 2 different runs with the stroller to test it out, 4 miles on hilly roads and 7 miles on a dirt/gravel path. I am 100% statisfied with the product!
