We've had this stroller for almost three years. Before, we had a double stroller with plastic wheels, but really wanted one with the bicycle wheels because of the crummy conditions of the sidewalks in our neighborhood. While we're overall satisfied, we do have some complaints.
br /
br /The good stuff first. It rides extremely well. The we have a 5 year old and 3 year old. Combined they're under 100 pounds, but not by much. We can push it easily with one hand. It's amazing how easy it is to control and turn. It takes curbs and sidewalk cracks easily. It turns well, rolls well, and pushes well. We're extremely happy with this part. It's got good storage space which is easy to access. This part, we like very much as well. It's also very easy to collapse for storage.
br /
br /Now for the not so good stuff. Our number one complaint is the width. When we did the research, we understood it would fit through most doors. Well, that's true if you take the kids out, collapse the stroller and carry it through. However, that's not what I had in mind. I would use this stroller twice as much if I could get into standard size doors without dinking the door frames or having to turn it at an odd angle and on one wheel. I've been to multiple malls/stores and it does not even fit through the handicap doors. Zoos have been a problem. In fact, the last time I decided to rent one of their strollers rather than having to unload the kids every time we wanted to enter the bird aviaries. It almost fits through most doors, but is just a little too wide. Quite a problem.
br /
br /Second complaint was mentioned in a different comment as a defect. We've had a problem with the brake bar rubbing against the brakes. It doesn't seem to effect the rolling of the stroller, just makes a little noise that can become somewhat grating. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to interfere. This problem might have been fixed since ours is several years old.
br /
br /I'm not positive, but I think I would buy this stroller again. However, the width has been such a problem for us, it's really kept us from truly enjoying this product. If it were 2 inches narrower it would be perfect.

This stroller was well worth the money, it is very smooth and unlike other strollers with the front wheel this one was very well put together. My wife and I jog with it and our two kids 3yr and 5yr are very comfortable in it. The materials used are high grade and with some care will last a long time I'm sure. One of the selling points was it being made by Schwinn, we have Schwinn bikes in the family and this was just another good investment.

br /Bottom line is we are very pleased with this item.

The stroller was great, except for the fact that the break kept rubbing on the wheel, no matter what we did. We finally just returned it.

Easy to use. Fits my 5 and 2 year old well.

I bought this hoping that my 5 year old would be comfortable enough in it. He is 42 inches and about 37 pounds. He prefers to sit forward and hold the bar in front of him rather than lay back. The seat back is a little short for him, but he says that he is comfortable. Both seats recline completely. It is a little difficult to access the storage compartment under the seats. One handed steering and collaspe is easy to use. Storage in my SUV is fine, it is larger than expected. I bet it would be difficult to fit this into a car trunk.
br /
br /Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Overrall, I am happy!

Have a 10 month old and are planning to have another baby soon. I needed something that would allow for 2 kiddos and for me to continue walking/running during pregnancy and after. I recently received the schwinn double jogger and I am so pleased. It was easy to install ( I did it!)and I can't wait to get on the road. It is a little overwhelming when you see it done and put together because it is so big and slightly heavy but the comfort of my kid is far more important!I rate it 4, for comfort factor, looks and easy to manuever. It didnt get a 5 because the shade latch was broken ( I called and they will be shipping out a replacement immediately)and it is truly bulky!I think I might need a new car because I dont think it will fit in the back of my volvo wagon!

I like it a lot. There a few things that I don't like about it and since their aren't any store in my town that carry double jogging stroller I couldn't really see exactly how these strollers worked. For example many if not all the jogging stroller do not sit up all the way which I thought would not be a big deal, but my oldest sits up and actually almost pulls the seat to a upright position. My younger daughter (1) seemed a little irritated at first because she likes to be up looking at everything. Now she is ok with it. I researched online to learn about the different features they come with and they are all pretty similar. Another thing that bugs me is that it does NOT have a parent tray, but the single jogging strollers do. They have an option of a mesh cup holder, but Iam too cheap to buy it. It also doesn't have a child tray, but it has a bar in the front that my little one kick off, so I don't know why its there. Those are the negative, but it seems like all the double stroller are like that. I totally LOVE the swivel front wheel. It makes a BIG difference when you are out on a trip. You can turn the stroller with out tipping the kids to turn. I also tried to find a stoller that did not have the inflated tires, because I am concerned about them getting holes and the price to replace the inner tubes. I didn't find any that did not have the "bike like tires" Thats probably why its steer so nicely. It is very light to push and folds easy enough. Some stroller out there you have to remove tires to pack them. So I chose certain features that I had to have and scrifices in others. My husband loves it and I almost love it and my kids like it a lot so its a winner for us.

Works as advertised!

Great product..just what we needed. Bigger wheels make life so much easier, especially when you have three kids to track! Literally one finger will push stroller forward and direct.

Well Pleased

This stroller lives up to its advertising. It is well-made, sturdy and attractive. It's easy to use and easy to store. The product was packed well and shipped promptly. I am very pleased, and so are the kids.

We love this stroller!

We love this stroller. It rides like a Cadillac. We bring it everywhere and it has always fit through the doors, so I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. People comment positively on the stroller all of the time. It rides so nicely and my 9 month old and 3 year old lounge in style wherever we go. I also love having them ride side by side rather than my last double stroller which had the seats one behind the other. They play as we go.
br /I also have a home day care and I have gone through many double strollers before. This one is the best. A definite five star for us!

Great value

I love this stroller. It is a good value, one of the least expensive double swivel joggers I have seen. With free shipping through Amazon, you can't beat it. It has all the features you would need. My husband is 6'6" and the height is great for him. My daughters are 5 and 18 months and we got this to take to Disneyworld. My 5 year old thinks it's comfy when she is too tired to walk.

I purchased this double stroller for my twin girls. Very easy to handle. The swivel front wheel is a big plus and it can lock if needed.

Poor packaging

This item came through on some of the paperwork as a bike but is actually a Schwinn double jogging stroller. We ordered it twice but the packaging was so poor both the strollers were broken upon arrival. There was no packing material and the box construction was poor (not enough glue to hold it together.) The hinges where the canopy attaches to the stroller rubbed right through the box and and in each case one side was broken. Too bad. It otherwise seemed like a nice item at a good price.
