Economical and Safe Double Jogger

We were looking for a double stroller that was 1) under $300, 2) was side-by-side, 3) had individual, adjustable seats, 4) a swivel front wheel 5) good shock system, 6) a sun canopy, 7) a storage area under the stroller, 8) easy fold-up ability, 9) durable material (in decent colors) and easy one-handed maneuverability (jogging with dog and children in tow).
br /
br /We got everything we asked for with the Schwinn Free Wheeler 2 Double Jogger. Some added bonuses include 1) side-by-side double joggers are bulky and usually very heavy for one person to collapse and throw in a car, or store in the garage, but this one is a one handed collapse and collapses to about a one foot width. It is light and easy to pick-up (even for a 140 lb pregnant woman) 2) there is a small storage sack and wrist band that comes with the stroller. The storage sack goes in the handle bar area and the wristband is included as a safety precaution if the stroller gets away from you, it is still attached to your wrist. 3) the brake is fantastic! We have a very steep driveway and locking it to close the garage is of no concern. It has a sturdier locking mechanism than our Maclaren single stroller.
br /
br /I am not an easily persuaded buyer and if you check my history, I don't take the time to review often. This stroller deserved the time and energy to tell others about it's A+ness!
br /
br /Added side note: Please always have your children wear helmets while you jog! If they don't make a helmet small enough for your child, they are too small for a jogger.

This is a great stroller. I get LOTS of inquiries about this when I am out and about. It's VERY easy to push and maneuver. I love the swivel front wheel, and I use the lock mechanism for walks/jogs. I would really like to see a hand brake, but the wrist strap on this model is definitely helpful for hills and rollerblading. The seats are easy to adjust, great pockets and cup holder. The sun shade is upgraded to a curve, which is really great. It's a little bit tough to collapse, but not too bad. It fits into the back of my minivan fairly well. GREAT value for the price, and it's definitely a step up from the regular model.
Great stroller--reasonable price!

This stroller is great!!! I researched double joggers for quite some time and did not have a big budget for some of the higher-priced ones, but did find that this one got great reviews. I just received it in the mail a few days ago and let me tell you--I love to go walking now! I can put both my kids in it (ages 2 1/2 years and 5 months) and no longer have to put my 5-month-old in the Snugli carrier. Also, it makes walking my dog easier, he just walks right next to it. It has a nice, smooth ride, and barely feels like I am pushing any weight. It folds up nicely and fits into my SUV perfectly (a Honda Pilot). It also has a little soft console for water bottles, keys, etc. The canopy is nice and large and covers them from the sun. My kids really enjoy riding in it, it is roomy and has great 5-point harness restraints. The ONLY drawback I can see is the angle of the seats...I have them reclined forward as far as they will go and they are still at an angle where my kids seem to be lounging back. My 5-month old does not mind; however, my toddler gets antsy sometimes and wants to sit up. For the most part, though, they are content for the entire ride and don't try to sit up. This stroller is perfect for fast-paced walking or strolling around. It is probably also good at the mall or other places, but I know after about 45-60 minutes of sitting back my toddler will reach her limit and want to get out! Luckily, I have a different stroller for those occasions!!! I highly recommend this stroller--you don't have a spend a fortune to get a great stroller!
Awesome Stroller

I needed a stroller for exercising (walking, not much running) that would fit my 12 lb preemie 7 month old and my 49 lb 43" tall 4 year old. I love this stroller. We have had it for a month and it drives the best of any of my strollers even with a 40 lb difference between the seats. My daughter is tall, but a small pillow tucked under her head makes her comfortable where the seat doesn't quite come up high enough. Her legs fit just fine and it is comfortably wide for her. The seat when completely upright still reclines enough for her to sit unrestrained without me worrying she will fall out, yet is upright enough for her to enjoy the ride and view. The curved sunshade allows clearance for my daughter's head, it could be deeper, but a small recieving blanket helps create enough shade at certain angles of the sun. I was very concerned over paying for a stroller when we were so close to weight restrictions, but it was so worth it. My kids are comfortable and I am able to get out and walk off those extra baby pounds!

We love it. It is easy to push around. The kids seem to be comfortable (I did put a small towel under the seats so the kids can sit at a more upright position.) Easy to close and open. It takes up a lot of space in the van but it is expected. We have enjoy it very much. For the price we paid for, it is a great stroller.

We have 4 boys and with a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old, Mom wanted out of the house for walks during the day while I'm at work. Well, this fits the bill. Excellent, well designed, comfortable and light weight. One reviewer mentioned it doesn't lock. Either something is wrong with her particular unit or she doesn't have the locks all the way down. When ours is locked, it's not coming undone. And it has a one hand, slide and squeeze for easy folding. fits through 36 inch doors and you can free wheel or the locking pin in the front is great to hold the wheel straight and use as a jogger. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a double. Oh, we always have problems with the sun, this one comes far enough out to keep the sun out of their eyes, even when they are laying down. Large bike type air wheels make bumps smoother, even on gravel. And the removable seats are cusioned and easy to throw in the washer. Easy removal. GREAT GREAT Product! And we have lots of experience, this being our 4th stroller.
Pretty unhappy with it

OK, so after researching double stroller, I decided on this one. The only thing I kept on running into was the issue regarding the angle of the seat.
br /
br /Got the stroller and although I must say it is very light and handles wonderfully, I HATE the seats.
br /
br /I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old. The 9 month old is just at that age when she wants to see everything around her and the angle of these seats prevent her from doing that.
br /
br /Now, my hubby LOVES the darned thing as he sees it as more comfortable. Yes, I agree, but only if your goal is for the kiddos to take a nap.
br /
br /Before you buy one, go look at it somewhere (store, friend, etc). If I had to do it all over again, I would go with another brand.
br /
br /What I like:
br /- The stroller basket is bigger than most double joggers, but pretty flimsy. It does fit my diaper bag, which is not a small one, but after that there is no room for anything else.
br /
br /- The canopy is nice. It covers them from the sun very well and if needed you can tilt it to cover them from the front (if you are walking against the sun). So this I like about the stroller.
br /
br /- It does come with a little parent tray, which is just the right size for us. Fits a water bottle (or 2) and a small wallet.
br /
br /- The handle is adjustable.
br /
br /- It handles very well and very smooth.
br /
br /What I don't like:
br /- The angle of the seats
br /
br /- The break bar will NOT stay up. You can catch it going down and bring it back up, but not what I want to worry about while out on a stroll.
br /
br /Good luck!

Overall we have been extremely satisfied with this product. We have been able to take it to a variety of places - from the store to unpaved paths. The weather shield is nice. We keep it down most of the time to protect our younger boy from the wind. Our friend who owns a Bob preferred our stroller just for that reason. It is easy to push and maneuvers well. I like the adjustable handle because I was able to find a height that doesn't put as much strain on my back. It includes a storage pouch for adults (which cost extra on BOB strollers). The pouch behind the seats is convenient to put diapers and wipes long term. There is also water holders on the inside of the seats for the kid's water.
br /We have had small issues with the stroller, which we mention so people can have a full picture of what they are buying. There is a small gap between the top of the canopy and the frame so in extreme weather children are not entirely protected. The bottom of the seats slope more deeply then expected so my two year old is not comfortable (but hasn't complained). The seat backs are not very tall and so my children - they are both off the charts - don't fit (which probably won't be an issue for others who have children that fall below the 75th percentile). The storage basket underneath does hang low and drags on the ground over speed bumps and slightly raised portions of sidewalks, etc.
br /Once again we are extremely satisfied and for the price i don't think this product can be beat.
I can't believe it fits!

I've been using this stroller almost daily for one month and absolutely love it! I have a 2yr old and a 2mo old who are both comfortable in it. I know it's not marketed for infants this young but because the sits are so reclined, he rests perfectly comfortable and seems safe. The adjustable sun shade is very handy and to prevent the "flopping" one other reviewer mentioned, just tighten the screws where the shade attaches. I use this stroller primarily for one hour daily walks on a rural road that's too bumpy for a "city stroller". We did however take it with us on a trip recently and couldn't believe how EASILY it FIT in the trunk of our 2001 Honda Accord ALONG WITH 3 large bags! While my husband was in meetings, I took the boys shopping and was amazed to find it FIT in all the stores, a DRESSING ROOM, AND A VERY SMALL COFFEE SHOP! It ended up raining too and the shade was generous enough to keep the boys mostly dry. The only minor complaint I have is that even with the shade all the way back, there is still a couple inch gap where, if the sun is behind us, can shine in on the baby's head. Overall, very nice stroller for moderate price!

I have a 2 month old son and 14 month old daughter and we all love this stroller! I use it in the neighborhood a few times a week and the kids are so comfortable they usually fall asleep within the first few minutes. Also, we live near the beach and go for walks each weekend - it's awesome on the sand, easy to push and the sun canopy is large enough to provide enough shade. I do use a lot of sunscreen on the kids' feet though! We do have to take the wheels off to fit it in the trunk of our sedan but after a few times it becomes quite easy and just part of the routine. I'm amazed at how easy it is to push over sand, grass and any type of terrain that any other stroller would get stuck in. Worth every penny.
Great stroller!

We bought this stroller for our 2 sons - 6 months and 3.5.... it has been a great purchase. We did find that the sunshade fell sometimes, but I simply tightened the bolt and it hasn't done it since. I, too, put a small pillow under my older son's head to help him from feeling too reclined. I found it very easy to assemble. I love the huge adjustable sunshade, the pivoting handle for me to push, the cushey seats for the boys, and the ease of pushing this stroller. I don't think it is for the avid jogger (as it has a pivoting front wheel and lacks the handbrake) - it is perfect for our long walks. I read all the reviews before I bought this one - and found them all to be accurate and helpful!
Great all around stroller, especially for tall kids

We love our new double jogger! I have a 5 year old with special needs and a 2 year old and we had outgrown the regular double stroller. We searched for a long time to find an affordable stroller that would fit our oldest comfortably. It did take quite some doing to get an undamaged stroller delivered however. Perhaps the company should consider more protective packaging. We love the swivel wheel that is able to be fixed in place. I also like the large sun canopy that has a gap that makes it easy to check on the kids. I got caught in a pouring rain and the lucky kiddos stayed nearly dry. It's very easy to fold and is light weight. The roomy bag tray is great. It's a little low to the ground, so it can drag on rougher terrain. This stroller is also a dream to push. I don't even notice a difference when pushing one child or two. I suppose a hand break would be nice, but perhaps that is not possible with a swivel wheel? I'd much rather have the swivel wheel than a hand brake if it's one or the other. My husband and I have used it for trips to the zoo, daily walks and runs, and on unpaved trails. I would feel comfortable taking it to an indoor venue as well (after I clean my wheels from that last muddy walk!). This is a great stroller for the money and should last many years. I only wish we'd bought it sooner.
Nice Ride, Would Recommend, But need to fix the sun shade

Overall, from what my wife and I can tell after using this jogger for almost a month now, it does the job for the money and for a 3 year old and 16 month old. Sure, we could have spent the money for the BOB or some other high end stroller but it just didn't seem worth it, and after using the Schwinn Double Jogger, I am glad we didn't spend $400+ on a stroller! My only complaint is the sun visor doesn't lay flat on the bar on the back and it wouldn't be bad if Schwinn would have put a brake on this jogger. Not that you use the brake that much, but if you live in a area with a lot of hills, it would help. I was very easy to assemble, rides smoothly, adjustable handle is nice, the undercarriage storage is nice, and the front rotating/straight wheel adjustment is key for those who run and walk with the jogger. If you are using a jogger for walking, the rotating front wheel is an absolute MUST HAVE!!

I've had this stroller for about three weeks now love it. We have 16 month old twins and believe it or not, they love it too. Its so easy to steer and the adjustable handle is great...my husband is 6 ft and I'm 5 ft tall. The huge sun canopy, the adjustable seats and the storage underneath are just a few of the perks about this stroller. I've researched many double strollers and this is by far, in my opinion the best value.

I was looking for a double jog stroller to accommodate my [...]. I have been away from running for a couple years now and was particularly interested in a swivel front wheel for easy turning ability. This was just what I was looking for! In addition, what I love is the smooth ride over all types of surfaces. I like to run on a country road by our house and the surface shifts from gravel to pavement to grassy areas and this stroller handles it all and well! I hope to put on many miles with my boys, myself and my great Schwinn job stroller.

We got it to take to Disney with a 4,2, a 8 month old. It worked beautifully for any combination of kids. The one real problem we found was if you push down and back on the handle, as if to rear it back to get the front tire onto a curb, it does unlock and collapse. You can catch it and pull up on the handle to stop it but it scared me the first time. That was the only real issue we had. The rest I have to say is just to help someone get a "feel" for what it is like, not complaints. I love the free wheel and large tires. The adjustable handle wasn't how I expected it would be but it did work for my 6'4" husband to comfortable push. It is kinda wide but I expected that with a side by side. It pushes so easily and smoothly, even with the 4 and 2 year olds in it together. It does tend to lean them back in a partially reclined position, but they didn't complain. The 2 year old complained about it hurting the back of her legs as her calves rested on the edge of the seat, just hit her wrong at her size, but we would fold her legs up in the seat or fold a small blanket and put under her legs and she was just fine and slept like a baby in it. I was very happy with the way it pushes so easily and was able to carry 2 backpacks underneath. One other thing I wish it had was a drink holder for the kids for the application we used it for. But we made due.
Great Price, Great Stroller!!

I love this stroller. I read the reviews left by other people and some seem to complain about the seats not being at a 90 degree angle when all the way up, and about the shade canopy. I myself did not experience the dis-satisfaction that they did. When I opened the stroller box and assembled the stroller I found that there was instructions attached to the shade canopy which stated that the screws might need to be tightened. Mine did not, but I assume that the others strollers probably came with the same instructions. And my seats do sit at almost 90 degrees when fully erect. I definately reccomend this stroller to anyone who need a double stroller. It is light, easy to fold up and turns on a dime. Well worth every penny and alot cheaper than some of those other strollers.
Overall love this stroller!

I have a very tall 3 year old and 15 month old boy. I use this stroller mostly for walking right now on uneven sidewalks, dirt/gravel paths and some grassy trails. We took it on some fairly rocky/tree root ladden trails with no problem.
br /
br /Pros:
br /1.Very easy to push and manuever, pushed well over sandy beach recently. Swivel wheel is a must - especially with the double - how nice!
br /2.Fits through doorways. I recently took it on a vacation and used it in-city over the brick sidewalks and around crowds of people. We were a bit of a wide load, but I was so happy to have it over my 9 year old, double peg perego. So much easier!
br /3.Folds compactly - easier to fold and store than my single tike tech stroller. That is mostly because it does not require removing the front tire to get into my Quest minivan. Also, it is a cinch to do!
br /4.My boys fit in it well. Plenty of leg room. Someone commented previously (previous review) that the head room was short and that they used a pillow to remedy the problem. I can see that being an issue, but my son just hasn't complained yet.
br /5.Ample storage that is very easy to get to.
br /6.Love the handlebar cup holder pack.
br /7.Adjustable handlebar allows my husband who is 6'1" to push comfortably.
br /8.Sun shade is large and gives good protection.
br /9.Seats recline completely.
br /
br /Cons:
br /1. The only major complaint I have is the harness. It is a bit too short between the legs and the shoulder straps are too long. So, I am unable to get it snug. My boys don't try to jump out so it's not an issue, but if I were an avid jogger it might be. My 3 year old complains that is uncomfortable between his legs - so most of the time I just leave his off.
br /2.The under-seat storage compartment is great, but does hang low. It will drag a little over somewhat tall grass or very bumpy terrain.

I did tons of research before making this purchase and I am very satisfied with this stroller. Many people mentioned the odd seat angle, which I was concerned about, but I have a 3year old and 7 month old and neither of them seem to mind it. The back of the seat it too short for my 3yo who is very tall for his age, but we slip a small pillow behind his head and it is fine. Now for the sun shade, which was a very important feature for me. This stroller has a very large pivoting sun shade which works great for protecting my kids from the sun when we walk in the mornings, however, if you pull it too far forward (which I often need) the shade will flop all the way forward basically landing on my children's feet. I have not seen any other complaints about this, so it may just be my stroller and this problem was easily fixed by using some of my baby's link a doos to make a chain that is attached to the sun shade and then to the handle bar. All in all, my kids seem very comfortable for 45 minute walks and it is a breeze to push. A solid parent console would be nice but it does come with a small soft console which holds a bottle of water, keys, pacifier and cell phone without a problem. I would recommend this stroller to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, easy to use stroller.

I was looking for a double jogger stroller with a swiveling front wheel. Also important to me was a canopy that could be repositioned to shield the kids from the glaring evening sun! I have also enjoyed the weather shield that is tucked away in the canopy for when it is raining or cold outside. I had another double jogger before that was not as sturdy as this one. The adjustable handle is great too since my husband is a foot taller than me, we can take turns comfortably pushing the stroller. The only trouble I seem to have is positioning the seat backs for the kiddos. It is possible to do, but I have a little trouble with it since it is a drawstring. Overall I am extremely satisfied and I am so glad to be able to get some exercise in during the day whenever I please.

This stroller is great. I had a problem with the front wheel and called pacific cycle, five days later the part arrived and the stroller is perfect now. (The front part that connects the wheel to the stroller wobbled) I do say that the positioning of the seats is strange, but not that strange once you get used to it. I found that if you cinch it up all the way in the back, then tie a knot it brings the seat up an extra 4-6 inches, almost to a 90* point. All in all, great stroller for the price.

I've loved this stroller for the past 2 seasons with my 2 kids (24 months apart.) Now that the third one has arrived, I've fully realized the greatness of this stroller. The baby and the 2 year old sit side by side and when my 4 year old gets tired of walking he sits on the footguard and rides too! Sure it isn't the most comfortable spot in the world and I bet Schwinn wouldn't recommend it, but it sure gets the job done. My biggest boy thinks it is cool up there and we've been all over Boston with all 3 kids at once. This functionality is worth it's weight in gold!

We have had this stroller for over a year now and we bring it everywhere. The swivel front wheel makes all the difference in the world; turns on a dime! The price makes this stroller especially attractive. I bought this primarily for long walks on all sorts of different terrain with my 4 and 3 1/2 yo girls. It's been perfect. My girls have adjusted to the reclining seats by sitting forward, reclining when they want to sleep. My husband loves it because when we go out, we need to bring only one stroller. Our girls love riding together. I love it when I'm alone and I don't have to worry about both girls going in different directions! I'm always amazed at how perfectly it fits through doorways and tight spots (Schwinn did their homework). Walked all over Rome and the girls did just fine. We travel often as a family so having the girls sitting in the stoller while going through airports is a big safety plus. To make it easy to transport it between airports and public transportation, we use one of those long luggage straps that we can wrap around it to make it as compact as possible and that it stays closed when having to rush to catch a train or a bus. We have yet to encounter an obstacle that we haven't been able to get around. It's a handsome, sporty stroller. I'm able to fit it in the trunk of my tiny car (a 1987 Renault 4) by taking off the back wheels, which are easy to put on and take off in a second. Love the reflective strips that makes you visible from the front and from behind. It's enough to tighten the screws if the brake lever doesn't remain up. Using some kind of cover will adjust for any sun that the large shade does not cover (come to think of it, I need to buy a waterproof blanket for when it rains; that would put the cherry on top!) You will not find any complaints here. My 4 yo just turned 5 and the stroller is still good to go! Will definitely use it to its max. Honey, can we buy another one :-)

This stroller looks nice and seems sturdy, but I have discovered a lot of problems with it. At first, I thought we put it together wrong, but we double checked and it's correctly assembled. It's really wide and does not fit through store doorways or aisles. The seats are always reclined, even in the "sitting up" position. When I release the clip to lower the seat back, it maybe goes down an inch more. My sons are usually trying to pull themselves up to look around, then get frustrated that they can't, then they just try to climb out. So I end up pushing the stroller, carrying one son and walking the other. The cushioning is very thin, and there is a rounded support bar that can be felt underneath the fabric near the head area, and it seems VERY uncomfortable for my sons. Their heads definitely rest on that bar, so we put pillows/blankets under their heads. I am not a big fan of the huge sun visor, it is very large and not attached to the stroller very well. I think I would have preferred a jogger with two separate visors. On the plus side, it is easy to fold and very smooth riding - great for a quick jog, but not a great multi-purpose stroller.

My husband and I enjoy the easy of this strollers manuevering but I wish would have been warned about it's lack of folding (w.o taking off the wheels- painstakingly). We purchased this thinking it would fold and fit just fine in an SUV, but we now know different. It will fit, but not w.o much effort. I still recommend this stroller if it does not need to go places w. you.

The Schwinn Free Wheeler has great storage. It is extremely comfortable for the kids, with lots of cushion, cup and snack holders, and great reclining positions. It has a great sun canopy with wind/rain shield included. I use it for walking and jogging. It is wonderful for both - a very smooth ride. It folds easy and has a nice key/water bottle caddy bag. The swivvel wheel works makes turning simple and manuevering in stores easy.

After reading and reading reviews for double joggers I finally decided this had the best overall reviews for the price range for a swivel/lock front wheel. I was worried about the seats not sitting up enough as some reviewers have griped, but if you tighten the straps up all the way and fasten them, it sits them up as good as any jogger. My kids didn't gripe about not being able to see. If it sat them up any further I'd worry about my 8 month old getting too far forward as the seatbelt straps don't fasten down super tight for a baby that size. The stroller itself is really great. The brake bar is easy to put on and get off. All three wheels remove easily. It fits through my doorway. It's easy to collapse. I love it. I'm really glad I decided to buy it.
Great stroller!

We love this stroller! We purchased it before a vacation with our family of several children. We also took another double jog stroller which does not have the front swivel wheel. No one wanted to push the one without the front swivel wheel! This one is just too easy to push. It is comfortable for the children and can be pushed with a single finger on flat ground (such as an amusement park). It desparately needs a decent drink, key, etc. holder, but other than that, it is a great purchase. I saw review complaints about lack of seat adjustment; however, we found that when you adjust the strap on the back of the seat, the angle was great. Then the strap could be relaxed for nap time. We used it for ages 11 months all the way up to 6 years and it worked very well. A great stroller!
Just what I was looking for...

I have been hunting for a solid, double jogging stroller for 7 years. I didn't want to spend more than $300, which was already a stretch for me. This one is great!!! I have had it about a month, and I have used it every day to push a 3 year old and a newborn about 1.5 miles to pick up kids at school. After seven years of pushing every other kind of stroller on the market, this is by far the easiest to push. It has storage for backpacks and waters. I love the built-in rainshield. The kids are comfortable in it, and both can either sleep or ride awake. I don't have the time or money to enroll in exercise classes, but I love to walk and be outside for exercise. This has been a true gift to myself to have walking time built in every day, and a stroller that can make it comfortable for the whole family. That's the best part of the deal!
br /
br /For comparisons sake, I tried a different double stroller to save money about 4 years ago. It was about $100, and it lasted about a year...a very frustrating year. It was hard to push (small wheels, awkward maneuvering) and the tire rod bent one day while I was navigating a side walk. I wish I would have invested in the better one right away.

Exelente carriola, cabe en todos los lugares a los que vamos, solamente una vez nos hemos atorado en la puerta de un elevador que por cierto era pequeño, se maneja muy facil y suave, el unico pero que le veo es el tamaño a la hora de doblarla para guardarla es un poco espaciosa lo entiendo al ser doble pero todo tiene un precio, en resumen para mi gusto exelente carriola la recomiendo mucho.

Having had a nicer single stroller (Bertini), this stroller is definitely better priced but as such, includes cheap material. Very thin seats which seem terribly uncomfortable because they are very deep and slanted. Nowhere to rest head as reviewers have mentioned. Sun canopy large(though immovable) and stroller offers an easy ride for the parent.
Great for walking not for running

I love this stroller it worked great until I started to jog with it the only downfall is the back wheels they wobble at a fast walk or jog. It makes it feel unsafe and is hard to controil.
ALMOST promblem free.

We ordered this stroller for a family vacation. We have twins and transporting them through the airport was a breeze. I did not give it five stars because when it folds, it does not lock in place. So when it is picked up it just comes unfolded which is NOT a good thing. WE bought a cheap dog collar with a snap and wrap it around the handle and wheel axel to keep it from opening, which seems to work fine so far. Also, the visor does not stay in place, so when you are out in the sun you have to keep opening it so they stay protected. We have not found a solution for that problem yet,tightening the bolts does not work. As far as the manuvering part smooth as can be.

I did a lot of research on this product and finally settled on this for price, sun shade and the front swivel wheel. When the product came in it was missing a few things and had some damage to the handle bar. The company was very quick to help with the problem and got items out very quickly to fix it. The lower bag carrier has recently broken but again, they shipped a replacement out very quickly.
br /
br /The thing that sold me on this was the sun shade - it's huge! They really needed to put some tention on the hinge so it coudl be moved to a forward position but I've fixed it by looping the jogging tether to the sun shade and when the sun is in the front just letting it slide forward for great coverage. I just hold the tether so it doesn't fall down.

br /I'd defintiely recommend this product for the price.

Stroller is great. We love it and the kids think it is cool too. The only problem we had was that side of the handle wasn't inserted right and had no bolt to hold it in. That made it interesting when we were in Seattle trying to hold the stroller from rolling down the hill and praying that the handle not fall off. So I had to get out the drill and fix it. Other than that, great!
Good stroller for the money

I bought this stroller 3 months ago for my 8 month old and 3 year old. Overall, it's a great stoller for the price: easy to push, swivel wheel is nice, cup holder pack works well, and it folds easily. It's much easier to push than the Jeep single stoller we have. However, the wheels seem a bit flimsy and one tire keeps going flat (called customer service, but missed the 30-day warranty). The other wheel sqeeks. The sun shade leaves a gap in the back by the handle, and so the sun can shine on my 8 mo old's head. I either need to use a blanket to cover the gap, or put a hat on my son. I'm thinking of buying the double stroller Ray Shade for added sun blockage in the front as well. Also, the straps are quite long and I cannot get them snug on my children, but since the seats recline so much, they have a hard time getting up anyway. The other thing about the straps is that when I am trying to pull them out from under my children to buckle them (when they are first getting into the stroller), the sholder harness clips often come undone with the slightest tug...which makes me wonder how secure they really are.
br /
br /My 3 yo complains sometimes that she is "back too far". We can adjust the seat back so it is more upright, but it still reclines more than she would like. She does seem a little big for this stroller, and the metal bar seems to be right behind her head, but she does NOT complain about that. My husband has used it jogging and says it does a good job. I use it for walks. I would recommend this stroller for light use (walks, shopping trips, etc.), but if you are a serious runner/jogger or plan to use it for long stroller rides, you may want to invest another stroller that is sturdier and more comfortable, especially if your children are older (2+).

For the money this is a great stroller. Lightweight, folds up easily will fit in trunk of car. The sunshade is awesome....it completely comes off the handlebars so you can adjust at any angle. The only problem for my son is the angle of the seat. He is not comfortable. Instead of ideally being at a 90 degree angle he is more at a 75 degree angle tilted toward the sky. This may not bother some kids and for the money it's great. The other option is to spend over $500 on a Bob which is just not an option for some people.

WE PURCHASED THIS STROLLER FOR OUR 18 MONTH OLD TWINS. IT IS PERFECT FOR WALKING OR OUTINGS SUCH AS AMUSEMENT PARKS, ZOOS, ECT. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEMS WITH THE SUN SHADE AS OTHER REVIEWERS HAVE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE STRAPS ARE HUGE EVEN ON MY CHUNKY TODDLERS. THEY ARE SO LOOSE EVEN AT THE TIGHTEST SETTING THAT MY TWINS CAN PULL THEIR ARMS OUT OF THE STRAPS. THANKFULLY IT IS A 5 POINT HARNESS SO THEY DON'T FALL OUT. ALSO WOULD LIKE A PARENT CONSOLE, BUT AM THINKING OF PURCHASING A SEPERATE ONE TO HOLD THE DRINKS. OVERALL THIS IS THE BEST STROLLER WE HAVE OWNED (4 KIDS--HAVE HAD LOTS OF STROLLERS INCLUDING A DOUBLE FRONT TO BACK STYLE). IT PUSHES INCREDIBLY EASY EVEN ON GRASS. LOVE IT.

I love this stroller. The front swivel wheel is amazing, you can turn in the tightest spaces. It is so light! It practically pushes itself. My kids seem to think it's cozy. I use it for brisk walks and it couldn't be better! The only thing is that it doesn't have a hand break, but I don't run anyway. Nice big sunshade.
great bargain!

I've already put many miles on my stroller in the month I've had it because my baby and three-year-old both love it. I'm so happy with the way it handles turns and bumps in the sidewalks, and with the way it folds up so easily. It also comes with great amenities, like the key holder and rain cover that make me feel like I definitely got my money's worth!

I absolutely love this jogger. I ended up getting rid of my regular stroller after purchasing this. It handles incredibly well and makes jogging a breeze. My only complaint is now I don't have an excuse for exercising more! Even a year later, my now 2 and 4 year old love riding in it - they are comfortable and have enough room so they aren't fighting for extra space. I'm a super cheapskate, but I would buy this again in a heartbeat if something happened to mine.

This stroller works great for hauling 2 babies around. We use it for our 5-month-old and a 6-month-old that we nanny share with. I love the swivel front wheel and the large storage compartment below. It's also nice to have each side able to recline separately so one baby can sleep while the other sits up and looks around. I saw a lot of the comments about the sun shade being too small and I think it works great. Maybe the company has changed it but it's much better than a single jogger we have that won't shade the baby's face when we're at certain angles to the sun. Also, there were a couple of reviews saying the seat was too short...I havne't noticed this was a problem but since the boys are pretty young, this may be in an issue as they grow.
br /
br /There are a couple small problems with the product. I actually purchased this stroller because the dimensions advertised on the Amazon website (16" H when folded) was the smallest of the double strollers with adjustable front wheels and we needed one that would fit into the trunk of a Honda Civic. The stroller does not actually fold up as small as advertised but I can jamb it in there by taking off the front wheel. Since I can get it in, it's not much of a problem. Also, there's no cupholder...the single stroller that we have actually has 2 cup holders, which is very handy. Overall, a great product and I would recommend it highly.
Love this stroller!

We did our research before we bought this stroller and we bought the right one! I love this stroller. It is easy to push,even when I have both my 2 1/2 year old and 4 1/2 year old in it. The swivel front wheel option is very nice to have. The basket underneath is convenient and holds a lot. Overall, a comfortable stroller for the kids and easy for me to push. Great stroller for this price point! I highly recommend it.

br /It is great for my infant, but my 2 year old really -really- hates it. The seat is too deep and even with towels behind him he is so uncomfortable. He usually winds up indian-style.
br /Maybe a much older kid would actually fit, but they'd probably rather walk at that age.

I love this stroller. You can lock the wheel for jogging, or leave it unlocked for walking around. I put both my three year old in it and my five month old. The five month old fits fine, but there is no way to tighted the shoulder straps enough for his small frame. He sits back far enough in it that unless the whole stroller tipped it doesn't really matter. The only thing I don't really like is that the shade cover doesn't fold all the way down, so if the sun is in the wrong place I can't keep the sun completely off of the kids.

While this product is mostly ok (the angle of the seats is weird for the kids to get used to), it does not match the product description. No weather shield is built in as the description indicates. When I called Pacific Cycle (the manufacturer) to figure out a solution, their support was very unhelpful and actually rude. She couldn't even help me purchase a separate weather shield. I'm sorry that I bought the stroller from a company with such bad service.

I bought this stroller and attempted to use it but one of the wheels kept going flat every morning. I had to order another inner tube. Then on the third day of trying to use this stroller, the front wheel completely bent. What a piece of garbage. I only had one child in the stroller and the wheel was fastened correctly and all I was doing was trying to push the stroller up a small curb. The other thing I didn't like about this stroller is that there is nowhere to hang/put a diaper bag. I sent this stroller back and bought a MacLaren double stroller.
