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.

It's Okay...

Pros: Good price; Easy to fold/unfold; Easy to push; Good canopy; Pretty solid strollerpCons: 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. pAlso, 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.

great improvement!!

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.

Nice ride, not convenient at all

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.
br /
br /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.

Great for the Price

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.

GREAT FOR TWIN BOYS!!!

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 :)

Great for the money!

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. br My babies love this and always want to go for rides in it.

Lifting the front wheel is the nature of a jogging stroller

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.

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!)
br /The babies have had no problems with staying in place, and the seats adjust so that they lean back comfortably.
br /The stroller is a little wide for tight shopping in malls, etc., but is fine for wide-aisled places.
br /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.
br /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.

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!!

HATE IT - terrible.

Veres to the left - I can't get it to go straight. Wrists are sore from having to lift up every two seconds to navigate. Kids sink toward the middle of the stroller. Doesn't fit anywhere, even some theme park stroller gates!
br /
br /They claim it folds compactly - it is still HUGE when it's folded and terribly heavy. I have to remove everything from my trunk and remove the front wheel in order to fit it in my car. A big mistake - I'm returning it.

I have a 22 month old and a new baby, and I wanted a stroller that wouldn't be so difficult to move around. This stroller works great. I use a little car seat bundle me to hold the little baby in her seat and it works great. I hope this stroller still works when the kids are bigger, but so far it is wonderful.

I bought this jogging stroller because I trust the Baby Trend name. I have owned two regular strollers (a single, and the sit-n-stand) made by the same manufacturer, and have been very happy with them. This jogging stroller was priced on the low end of the spectrum, and was doable for my budget. As they say- you get what you pay for.
br /It is a sturdy stroller. It handles bumps well, and running 25+ miles/week with this thing, my kids have been bumped around a lot! There is a basket underneath, which is WONDERFUL when packing snacks and juice boxes for long runs. The front wheel does not swivel, which makes it a smoother ride for the kids while I'm running. However, when we have to turn corners and we're not moving quickly, it is VERY heavy to try to push down on the handlebar to raise the front wheel and turn the stroller.
br /The seats don't adjust to a fully upright position, which drives my children nuts- especially my 22 month old son- who wants to see all the cars that pass. He constantly struggles to sit all the way forward.
br /My children were 36 months and 14 months when I bought this stroller, and we've had it for 8 months now. I plan on replacing it this next year with a much lighter model, since my kids aren't getting any lighter!
br /A good friend of mine has a $400 double jogging stroller, and she's had it for 4 years- still uses it. When you figure this $180 model will last me only a year, and I'll be upgrading to a more expensive one, I'd say it would've been a wiser investment to just get the nicer one in the first place.
br /I recommend this stroller, though, for someone who needs a jogging stroller and can't afford the nicer models. It serves its purpose. And, to be honest, I think having to push a heavy stroller has made me a stronger runner.

Great buy for the small price!

I love this stroller. I am not a jogger but wanted to walk to get back to pre baby weight. My boys love this stroller too. My boys are 6mo. and 2 years. They love the brisk walks in the morning. The srtoller came quickly (4 days) even though I only paid for standard shipping. The kids sit evenly and the stoller is easy to put together and set up. I do have to remove the wheels to put in the trunk. The wheels are easy to remove.My husband like to use also. He thinks it is a mans stroller. It also fits his hight. We love it! great buy for the small price!

I just bought this stroller a few days ago. After reading some of the reviews on here, I was very worried about my new purchase. But when I took the jogger out for a test drive, I couldn't believe how great it was! This is a great jogger for your money. I have a 27 month old and a 2 1/2 month old, and they were both comfortable with lots of room. A main concern about these types of stollers is turning (as they have a stationary front wheel). I couldn't believe how easy it actually was to turn! The only time you have to slightly lift up the front wheel is to make a very sharp turn. Other than that, I found the you could push on one side and the jogger would turn. Another main concern for these joggers is folding and storage. I drive a '05 Dodge S.X. 2.0(which is a samller family car). To fit this jogger in my trunk, I have to remove all three wheels and do some gentle persuasion. But the main thing is it fits! The back wheels are supremly easy to remove, and the front wheel is very easy as well. However I bought this stroller to use around my neighborhood, not so much to take to the mall! I live in a small town that only has one paved street, and this jogger handled great on any surface I took it on, including gravel, grass, and even sand! My favourite part about this stroller (and the main deciding factor in the purchase) is the canopy. I love the fact that it extends all the way down to cover my babes delicate skin from the sun at any angle or in any direction. My 2 year old loves to look around, so I thought she would get mad when I put the canopy down. However, she then can see out the side, so she is happy in any situation. Another great feature that many expensive joggers don't have is the parent console with two cup holders and covered storage. All in all, I can't believe that some people gave this jogger less than the full 5 stars it deserves. I don't have one complaint about this great device, except that maybe it is a touch heavy, but what double jogging stroller isn't! I would definaetly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying it.

Great Stroller for the Price!

After reading mixed reviews my husband and I decided to give this one a try! We love it! We have 2 boys one is 2 1/2 and the other is 10 months. They combined weigh about 50lbs and we have no problem pushing this stroller. You just simply push down and lift up to turn. I am a very petite 5' and have no problems with it. My husband also loves to push it because the handles are comfortable for him even at 6'4". The parent tray with cupholders and the 5 point harnesses are a definite plus!! I also love how the baskets are a good size and are accessible even when the seats are reclined! I am so glad we took a chance on this one!

My girls LOVE this stroller one is 2 1/2 and the other is 8 mos. and they both have a blast when they are ridding in it!!!the only drawback is that the front wheel pulls to one side but i think that it is just a factory defect. The canopy is great becuase it is fully adjustable so i can block the sun from getting to the girls faces. The storage baskets are great for taking the little extras i need on my walks since when we go its a hour or two before we get home. This i just discovered, there are little pouches on the inside of the seats so my girls can have a cup sitting right there for them to grab when they want to. the parent organzier tray is great to i can put my drink in one of the holders and then have my keys, or other little things i will need on my walk in the little snap shut compartment between the cup holders. It is a little hard to turn at first but like any jogger its something you have to adjust to. It folds VERY compactly for being a jogger. All around it is a great stroller I DEFINITELY recommend!!!!!

DON'T BUY ! HORRIBLE IDEA !

I bought this stroller last week for my 2 daughter's age 11 months and 3 years. I was beyond dissappointed. This jogger should have never been created. The entire design is horrible. First off, the front tire does not swivel. This is a huge consideration when buying a jogger. This stroller is only usable if you ONLY go STRAIGHT. you can not turn what-so-ever. You have to lift the stroller and slide the tires accrossed the ground to go in any other direction. So if you think about it, you have the stroller that is 30lbs, and 2 kids weighing a combined 70lbs! THat's 100lbs to lift to take a curve or turn! Not only are you jogging but you need to be a weight lifter too. Second, the only back support and adjustment for both children to sit up or lay back is an adjustable strap. And this doesn't allow for a straight up sitting position. the seats eem to hold the children crooked ( I'm not the only one that has pointed this out) so that they are sinking in towards the center of the stroller. Third of all, it is described on the box as folding compactly. After you take off all 3 tires, you still can't fit it into the trunk of a large sedan.
br /I guess you get what you pay for. Of course this is the cheapest duo jogger around, the only real thing that is attractive about this product.

Stuck in EVERY doorway

I can't fathom how engineers can build a rocket ship but cannot seem to find a way to make a durable double stroller with sturdy frame, wheels and comfortable seating, plus storage basket and weather hood, that does NOT get stuck in doorways! I bought this after going through two front to back doubles in two years. The frames were not sturdy enough to weather snow, dirt, rocks, etc. and everyday walking with two toddlers at 30 pounds each. This one has the great big bike tires, you inflate to proper capacity for a smooth ride, but the locked front wheel means you can jog till your heart's content but must lift and turn the stroller each time you make a turn -- very hard to do when you're pushing a combined weight of more than 70 pounds. Grandma and Grandpa can't manage this stroller at all. As for the doorway issue, it got stuck the first day we attempted a walk to the local grocer. Not only will you get jammed into aisles, but you'll have a problem storing it in the rear of a mini van unless you remove your last row of seating. This is because the front wheel doesn't swivel to allow for more compact storing. Last but not least, the seats seem to cause the kids to turn IN and they wind up leaning on one another after a few minutes. Totally uncomfortable and would have been easily recitfied by placing a metal bar between the seats to separate the backs. All in all we had to buy a durable stroller with good tires to handle rough roads and weather, but the trade off with simple design flaws is almost not worth the purchase...

It's been two months since I've used this jogger. I have two kids, ages 2 and 4. I use this jogger for my walks on a trail by my house. These are my likes and dislikes.
br /
br /LIKES -
br /1. Parent tray (two cup holders and closed compartment) is nice. Closed compartment is perfect for cell phone and keys.
br /
br /2. Big baskets underneath the seats are great. Plenty of room for jackets, snacks for the kids, and whatever you want to bring along (like small toys to keep the kids occupied).
br /
br /3. The canopy lowers down more than the usual joggers out there. It's nice because you can adjust the canopy to protect the kids faces from the sun.
br /
br /DISLIKES:
br /1. The cupholders are not very deep so when the jogger goes over some rough bumps water bottles pops right out.
br /
br /2. Front wheel does not swivel so turning is difficult. I think a lot of joggers are made this way for a reason. It was very frustrating at first but now I'm used to it. When I have to turn I just push down on the handle bar little bit to tilt the front wheel up and turn. This jogger not turning very easily doesn't bother me that much because I don't use the jogger around the neighborhood streets very much but use it most of the time on a straight trail.
br /
br /Overall, it's a good jogger. It's easy to push even on a incline. I've read reviews and heard from friends about the tires going flat easily but I haven't had that problem yet.
br /
br /I don't know how easy it is to fold this jogger and how compact it is because I haven't tried that yet. But just by looking at it, I think I can get it in the back of my minivan without having to fold it up. This jogger is actually lighter than my Peg Perego double stroller.
br /
br /My kids are small for their age so their shoulders overlapping hasn't been a problem. But the seats are pretty narrow and I think by next summer I'll be having that problem.
br /
br /If you're going to be walking or jogging around your neighborhood streets, I don't recommend this jogger or any jogger with a steady front wheel.

I personally love this stroller for the Price! I didn't want to spend over $300 dollars and I test drove alot before buying this one. I have a very tall!! 2 year old and a Heavy 5 month old and I like the fact that the baby is able to lay down and nap while the toddler can set up. It folds and unfolds easily. It fits well in my SUV, and the best part is because of the size difference in the 2 children they can set side by side and see the same thing, I tried those tamden strollers and my 2 year old was to tall for the canopy and could not recline after a long trip at the zoo. This wil continue to hold the children up to a combined weight of 100 lbs. Also it was easy to assemble. The front tire does not swivel but you quick learn to pop and pivet on turns. And for the oversized tires, I have gone trough all kinds of terrain(off road) without a problem, and through the jungle of the malls.
br /I have one complaint/wish to have a little larger sunshade and a snack tray but for that price I might be able to search and find a add on accessory.

This is an affordable stroller, but not even worth the $180.00. I have a 2 and 3 year old who have both gotten pinched at the folding mechanism while riding in the stroller. This is due to the fact that you have to lift the front end up to turn any sized corner. Last weekend my three year old got her entire pinky finger stuck in the joint (the folding joint is right at the kids' arm rest/elbow area). I had to unfold the stroller to get her finger out! This stroller is by far NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY! I just hope we can get our money back!

br /We have a Subaru Forester, and even when folded, the stroller does not fit in the back without having 1/4 of the stroller hanging over the kid's heads in the backseat...horrible design.

I find it easy to maneuver and safe. As far as the canopy not blocking the sun that is true, but I put a blanket over the babies legs and sun block on the 2 1/2 year old.

As the mom of a 1 and 2 year old we love this jogger! We use it for everything from mall shopping to theme parks to stolls in the woods. The kids are comfy, the storage is great and both myself and hubby are comfy pushing it!

br /It IS a jogger with a stationary front wheel...you cant expect it to turn easily. And, I am under the impression that this jogger will fit through most public doors (something with the wheelchair/disability act!) We have only had 1 problem...that was an ancient building!

I bought this double jogger despite the bad reviews I had read online and was pleasantly surprised. I love the adjustable canopy, it really blocks the sun. Also the parent tray is great. I am using the stroller with a one year old and a 4 month old so each child has plenty of space and seems perfectly content in the semi-reclined seats. Maybe as they get older they will be more crowded and want to sit more upright but it seems like they will have plenty of growing room and can see everything from where they are seated... Also, my stroller does not pull to the side as I read in other reviews but there is a troubleshooting guide in the box about this particular problem so it seems like it may be a common problem since they included the troubleshooting guide but my stroller works fine. Also, it folds very easily and in my opinion is very compact. It fits easily in the back of my Ford Focus station wagon. I did not have trouble turning the stroller. I am used to pushing down on the handles to turn corners from my single stroller and I did not find this any more difficult other than it was a little heavier which is to be expected. I am running on a paved street so it may be a pain if you were on a trail that was not paved or had several tight corners but it works great for me. The hand brake doesn't seem to work on mine which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. However I think there is a troubleshooting guide for this problem also I just haven't checked it out yet. Also, since I do not jog particularly quickly and do not go down any really steep hills the hand brake not working doesn't really concern me. I have only used the stroller once, I just got it yesterday but so far I have been very impressed (and relieved) with my purchase.

Great for walks and very durable!!

We have this jogger, though ours is 4 years old!! We have twin daughters who are now 4. We purchased this stroller when they were 3 months old, and this was the best purchase of everything we purchased. It is not a stroller for running errands because it doesn't turn (no swivel front wheel), but I don't think any jogger is for errands!! Get a regular stroller for that! We would walk to our neughborhood park everyday in the first 2 years of my girls' lives. Our Graco Duoglider was just too heavy to push on our gravel-like paths in our neighborhood. A jogger is the way to go if that's what you need it for. We used this jogger almost everyday for 3 years, and it has held up VERY well!! My girls have always loved it too!! There is no need to buy more expensive jogger strollers. It isn't very heavy, so an aluminum one isn't necessary. I highly recommend this double jogger if a jogger is what you are looking for. We are expecting our 3rd child now, so we'll be selling our double so we can buy a single!

Not all stationary front wheel joggers are this hard to use

I have used a Schwinn jogging stroller the past 2 years with my twins (now 2 1/2). The stroller was great, but something in the seat broke so I was forced to shop around for a new stroller.
br /
br /I was pleasantly surprised to see the changes that Baby Trend made to this jogger since the last time I shopped joggers. The moveable canopy is a plus as is the parent tray, so I decided to give it a try.
br /
br /This stroller is so hard to turn. I was used to a stationary wheel jogger with my other stroller, but this stroller is just not set up right. The weight isn't distributed properly to allow for an easy push down on the handle bar to lift the front wheel.
br /
br /I used it once, then packaged it up and returned it. I just wanted others to know that not all joggers with stationary wheels are this hard to use.
br /
br /I decided to go with the Dreamer Design. A little more than double the price of this stroller, but definitely well worth it if you use your jogger frequently.

could use some major improvements

Ok so they have made some improvements, I have the older version, it is minus the cup holder, and the canopy is a bit different. that being said this stroller still needs imporvements. My biggest complaint is that the front wheel doesn't move (yes I knew that before I bought it) but untill you push this stroller with 55lbs of kid in it you have no Idea how difficult it is to push down on the handle to lift the front wheel and turn. my other problem is that my kids shoulders overlap (which causes fights and pushing). overall this is a good choice if you only run/walk on a straight path but where I live the paths have twists and turns. On the plus side I do like the basket and the front wheel is easy to take on and off (for storage).

Good for me!!!

I bought this when I had my newest! I go on walks jogs with my 2.5 year old and my now 2 month old - it works great!!! I like the canopy - it can go above to block the sun or lately since its been chilly, I have put it down in front to block the cold wind from going in their faces. The price was reasonable - lots of double joggers are much more expensive!

Don't buy this!!!

I purchased this stroller for my 4 month old and my 24 month old. I am not a jogger so I thought it would be good for me when I was walking. I do have a great single one and I didn't want to spend the money on the double, I really regret it now.
br /
br /Pros: There is an adjustable sun shade. The seats can recline individually. The price.
br /
br /Cons: The stroller does not turn easily. The seats are tilted back, so even if they are sitting up they are still somewhat reclined. It is a workout in itself to push them for a daily walk,(that might be a pro.) It doesn't push straight, it pulls to one side. This is the second one that is like this, I returned the first one because it was pulling to one side. The customer service is awful, when I called them with a problem their advice was to take it to a bike shop, no returns or exchanges.

I bought this stroller last month and have only used a few times. Its great, my kids love it, but......When you are jogging, it doesn't turn well at all and doesn't go straight. You always have to pull the front tire up and readajust when you are turning. Its annoyoing, but other than that I like it alot. I would suggest getting the same stroller but one with the turning front wheel.

We love it!

Right now we only have one child, who just turned one, but we wanted to plan for the future and get a double stroller. Our options were limited due to the fact that we were returning a duplicate gift and had to use credit at the store it was purchased at. Several double joggers were available, but we chose this one. It had most of the features we were looking for and was the right price.
br /
br /At just under 30 lbs. the stroller is a bit awkward to carry when it is folded up, but feels very lightweight when pushing it.
br /
br /Folding the stroller is simple, and unless it needs to fit in the car, the front wheel can stay on when folded. Removal and replacement of the front wheel is very easy. Size-wise, it's a tight fit in our car trunk, but stows easily in our small SUV.
br /
br /One feature I wish it did have is having the option to unlock the front wheel to swivel. Turning corners can be a bit awkward at first, but I don't even notice anymore.
br /
br /The sun shade retracts to any position, which is a feature I love. The double basket underneath is nice, though it does have a divider, which limits storage possibilities. The stroller has a double cup holder and small storage compartment near the handlebar.
br /
br /The seats have individual adjusters to accommodate different seating positions for each child.
br /
br /As I mentioned, we only have one child right now, and the stroller handles just fine with only one passenger. I haven't had any trouble at all with it pulling to the heavier side.
br /
br /I haven't tried to use it indoors yet, but I imagine it would be awkward to manuever in a store....but then indoor use is not the primary purpose for a jogging stroller, so you can't complain too much!
br /
br /Overall, we've been very pleased with the purchase of this stroller!

If you jog, this stroller is fine. As a jogger, I would not want a stroller with a swiveling front wheel. It would be too difficult to control. It is important that the front wheel be stationary for jogging/running. For walking outside or somewhere with lots of bends and turns, you should consider a regular stroller with larger all-terrain wheels. Great stroller. I just wish it were lighter in weight. I am small and it is large and heavy for me. It is a bit difficult to turn lifting the front with two kids, but it gets easier - and makes your upper body stronger.

I just recently bought this stroller and I think it's great! My kids are 3yrs and 22 months, and together they weigh a combined weight of about 65 pounds give or take. And I have no problem with this stroller and it is also a great height for my 6ft1in. husband. So what if it dosen't have a swivel wheel.. it dosen't bother me and I use mine in the city that we live in and I have no problem swiveling the stroller by hand. Also my 22mo is about 36inches in height and my son is about 40inches and they both fit wonderfully. PS.. I'm only 5ft and still have no problem..this stroller has what many double joggers don't have an affordable price tag

My twin boys were born at 38 wks. and were large for their age, so we used this stroller since they were 2 mo. and on. We have had NO problems with this stroller, and for the money, it's great. My boys are now 2+ years old and we still love this stroller. Granted- we only use it for outside walks, and we don't have to walk through doorways (with any double stroller that is difficult!)- but we love the storage underneath, the double cup holder/storage place for mom, and the price! If you are looking for a stroller for the daily stroll, this works great. I bought it because I didn't want to have to use my "indoor" stroller (Maclaren Twin Traveler) for outside activities. So far, I love the amount of stroller I have received for the price.

At close to $200, I was hesitant whether or not I needed a double stroller, but when grandma offered to help me pay for this one, I decided to give it a try.
br /
br /Now I can not say enough about this stroller. My kids, ages 4 and 5 (2 and 3 when we started with this stroller) love it. They would always argue to sit in the single stroller, but now that they have the option to both ride, sometimes they both do and sometimes just one does. Now that they are older we sometimes simply use it to carry our extra coats and things that are too big for a diaper bag.
br /
br /It is easy to push, and you simply apply a little pressure on the handles to lift the front for sharp turns. There is a large area underneath for snacks, diapers, and such. The seats lean back for different levels for each kid as an individual. The shade is big enough to shade both kids and has a window to look through to see your little one.
br /
br /I cannot say enough.

I have a 18mo. old, a 3 year old, and a 6 year old and use this jogger almost everyday during the school year. I do have to lift the front wheel to turn, but after a couple of days you get used to it. The girls also sort of sink into each other, but I've not heard one complaint, fight, or anything. This jogger goes through the sand, grass, and snow with ease, and living in Colorado, I need that. I have had this jogger for a year and it still works great! Well worth the money.

I bought this jogger and five months later the seat belts actually broke! My second child hadn't even been born yet. My son, only a year old pulled on the shoulder straps and they tore in half! Then I inspected the lap belt and found it nearly severed as well. He would have FALLEN OUT!! When I tried to return it to Babies R Us they said they couldn't resell it so they wouldn't take it back- not even for store credit. Well of course they couldn't resell it. I expected better from Babies R Us. Someone could get seriously hurt. I was lucky I noticed the tear in the lap belt (it was under the harness buckle). There were other problems as well, it never did keep air in the tires, it didn't track well, and it was quite rickety. I just bought the Dreamer Design Ditto (not sold at Babies R Us) and got rid of the Expedition. What a waste of money and time!

Almost impossible to turn! Seats do not stay even when toddler is in...one shoulder drops due to the inefficient recline system. My son is so uncomfortable! Canopy - what canopy? It provides absolutely no shelter from the sun what so ever! The parent tray broke in half the first time I ever folded the jogger. Handlebars are awkward...I feel like I have to keep my elbows up high in order to push.
br /I hate this jogger...I can't and won't even take it out for a walk in my neighborhood. I bought it because it was a reasonable price. Well, you get what you pay for. I ended up buying the Dreamer Design Ditto and LOVE IT!! This is so smooth and easy to turn! I can't believe that it turns on a dime - and it has a locked front wheel. THe seats are much more comfortable for my son and the individual bubble canopy provides complete coverage for my daughter and I can push the other side back for my son.
br /
br /If you are considering Expedition Double JOgger - test drive one first. Put your children in and go for a walk and you can make your own decision. But don't buy until you try it!

This jogger was not my first choice but the price was a big factor. I have a 3 month old and a 3 year old. Putting it together was very easy. You only need to assemble the tires, parent tray and foot rest. Very easy. I jog with it and it is very smooth. Both my kids are comfortable. I do put a blanket under my three month old for comfort and added stability. The seats rests area little flimsy but hey for the price they work and my three year old has not complained. The sun protector work pretty well although I will buy a UVA blocker that goes over the entire stroller. I recommend this stroller. Not top of the line but for the money it's great. Oh, and it folds up very easily. A big plus.

The Amazon review refers to the "front" and "rear" seats. The seats on the product are side-by-side. Did the reviewer make all this up, review the wrong product, or just have technical difficulty with complex structures such as, well, straps? This stroller is on my back porch right now with one seat reclined and the other - amazingly - reclined. Very disappointing, Amazon!
br /
br /We bought this stroller after a very annoying trip to Disney World with a tandem stroller. While it is a bit bulky and requires a little finesse to turn (seriously folks, how hard is it to push down a little on the handle?), it's been a fantastic stroller for getting around town. The handle is high enough for normal people (I'm only 5'7" and had to stoop for most others), and the rear axle is far enough forward to avoid being kicked, even running at a good clip! The 5-point harnesses keep the kids in place. It is exceptionally steady, relatively lightweight, and has the features any active parent would want, like a viewing window, cupholders, room for diapers, and even a speaker for your mp3 player.
br /
br /This is a jogging stroller, not a shopping stroller. It was not meant to navigate the aisles in the women's department at Macy's. It was not intended to fit neatly in the trunk of a subcompact (even though it fit fine in my 1995 Neon's trunk), but works fantastically on a trunk-mounted bike rack for those excursions that get you out a little further from home. What it does do is fit neatly on the back porch or hang easily on a wall hook in the garage, unfold quickly, roll over grass/gravel just as easily as concrete/asphalt, not veer off the sidewalk when the kids shift their weight around, and return home for a quick hose/wipe-down, then quick and easy fold-up and storage.
br /
br /The "face-shade" canopy is adjustable from head to toe, easy enough to angle correctly towards the sun. Any parent taking their child into the great outdoors without sunscreen should be considering a parenting class...
br /
br /My only complaint, like many of the other (real) reviewers, is that the tires go flat quickly. They've never gone flat while out and about, even on day trips. But I always carried a small bicycle pump just in case.

I purchased this jogger because I already own and love the single version. With twins, I needed the double and have not been disappointed. My hubby put it together in a flash, the kids love it and it fits my walking/light jogging needs perfectly. I love that both seats recline independently and that the huge canopy swivels down to cover babies no matter where the sun shines...very important in South Texas!
br /The parent tray adds convenience for phone/keys, and the baskets are more than ample for sippys, snacks, and mail. I have been able to fit it through all doorways, and it folds very easily.

I am a mother of two (2 1/2years and 4 months) and thought that a double jogging stroller would be great to be out and about with. It is a very easy stroller to use. The kids enjoy being in it. It seems rather comfortable for them. My 2 1/2year old climbs in it without being asked or putting up a fight. My only complaint is the front wheel. It is not a swivel wheel, therefore, it is VERY annoying to try and turn the stroller. You have to push down on the bar to get the front wheel off the ground. That is fine if it is once in a while, but it gets a little hard when you need to turn many different times.

We bought this over two years ago for our twin boys. We had tested and looked at several double jogger stroller and had decided this one was economical and functional.

br /We have a Suburban, therefore, space is not an issue for us. It folds easily and I can lift it up store it in the SUV. More importantly for my husband, the handle is at the right height for him. Yes, you need to lift the front to make turns but this stroller can cover a lot of different terrain which was important for us - sand, uneven trails, paved roads, and mud.

I had a double jogger-- a no-name brand- that I bought on Ebay a few years ago. If was fine, a bit big. When it was time for a new one, I didn't want to spend a lot of money as I really only use this to go around our neighborhood and the occasional outing. For every day use, I use a MacLaren stroller. I used this one for about a week. At first is seemed heavier to push and navigate, but I liked the cup holder/snack holder. This one reclined better than my old one so I kept at it. I tried inflating the tires more thinking that would help. I think the problem is the handle bar is lower than my old one so the leverage to lug around a 4 year old and 20 month old was just too much for this stroller. I found it heavy though, even with just the baby riding alone. So, I dismantled it and returned it. Thankfully I had the recipt and Babies r us has a good return policy. I think I am going to get the Instep TT with the front swivel wheel.

I thought, wow, something for my new one to sit in and my autistic six year old to sit in. Yikes, this thing was horrible. I spent one afternoon in the mall and then drove straight to the store and returned it. Okay, it's a jog stroller, but the thing doesn't turn. I had to keep it in "wheelie" mode in order to turn it on a bend. I did get a workout, my arms! Don't frustrate yourself and buy it. It's only one more obstacle to add into a mom's busy day. I am on my third child and this is my fourth stroller. I was looking for something to keep my autistic one contained (he's a runner) and free up my arms with the baby. I am on the wait list for the sit n stand. That was my first choice and now I will be patient. I'll have to live without an adult cup holder, but my sanity will be worth it. Trust me, no other feature is worth anything on this stroller if you can't even manuever it. Skip this stroller.
