4.0 out of 5 stars
Great stroller with some limitations, August 12, 2004
This review is from: Tike Tech Double T Jogging Stroller (Baby Product)
With the arrival of our new baby we wanted to purchase a double all-terrain stroller so that we, and our sitter, could continue to take walks on the beach near our house. We have the single Tike Tech and love it for this purpose. It is well made. The beach is rocky and we were fairly pleased with its ability to handle the rough spots.
Unfortunately, the double stroller is not as great as the single for this purpose. Between the weight of the stroller and the weight of two children it is a significant workout to use this stroller. (For the record, my children are 2 and 7 months and weigh a total of about 45lbs.)
That being said, we have used this stroller on regular roads, sidewalks and gravelly spots and have been satisfied with the performance. We have taken it to the Bronx Zoo and it made it through the doorways and the childrens zoo with minimal issues. It has good sized under-seat baskets and has a pocket behind each seat large enough to hold a bottle/cup, diaper and a portable pack of wipes. Also, if you are using this as a jogger, it may work for you.
As for the head-bumping; I haven't had this be a major issue but I can see how it could happen. My son is a little better than 3 feet tall and is cutting it close when the seat is totally upright. He likes to lay back more so this doesn't cause us any problems as yet.
Something else I would like to add: The Tike Tech Company provides excellent customer service and a very solid product. The stroller arrives almost completely put together and is easy to adjust. Also, they have improved the canopy. It could still be better but the changes definitely helped.
Hope this helps.

Almost there..., July 22, 2004
This review is from: Tike Tech Double T Jogging Stroller (Baby Product)
This stroller had everything me and my wife were looking for. Two independant reclining seats. Large all terrain tires. Hand brake. Rain cover... We could not wait for it to arrive. Hurray it's here!! ....wait a minute something is not right. we placed our two year old boy in the seat and pulled the canopy over him, the canopy was sitting on his head and he looks at me as if to say "you're kidding right?" Having the canopy touching his head would give him absolutely no relief from the hot West Texas summer sun. Then we laid him back in the seat. The mesh lining only goes up about four inches and the little brat actually climbed out of the stoller through the top. I was caught trying to hold him from falling and hold the stroller from tipping over at the same time. Our son is not by any means a giant, 67% in height and 45% in weight. This would probably be great for smaller children less than two years I would say. Much to our great disappointment we had to put the stroller back in the box and send it back the next day.

Great for jogging, March 27, 2006
This review is from: Tike Tech Double T Jogging Stroller (Baby Product)
The Double Trouble has been great for taking my boys out for a jog. I'm sometimes out for as long as an hour and it rolls well, and seems very comfortable for them. We have a single as well, made by Baby Trends, and this is clearly less manuverable and heavier. That means using both hands at times, but for a double, it works well.
It is easy to fold and the wheels remove easily for smaller car trunks. We also fold it for storage on a bike hook in the garage, and it is light enough for me to get it up there easily. There are also handy pockets behind the seats for a cell phone and cash, just in case. The jogger has plenty of storage underneath for more leisurely walks to the park or pool.
The only thing I don't like is the huge canopy that obscures my view of the front wheel. It provides great sun coverage when needed, but it can be a problem when trying to guide the jogger around potholes and bumps, or going up the curb. It also works as a sail with strong wind gusts. However, I'm not sure whether any of the other doubles work any better in this regard.
I would recommend it to others with multiples who want an actual jogger, and not just a sporty stroller (as so many others on the market seem to be). With the straight wheel, it isn't ideal for walking, but I wouldn't recommend jogging with one of the swivel wheeled versions.
