I got this stroller a few weeks ago and have walked plenty with it. It is so easy to maneuver and push. It is so agile! The seat backs do lay back a bit, which is a little weird for my almost 3 yr old, but is fine for my 6 monther. I had my heart set on the BOB duallie, but with a $500 price, it wasn't an option, this is a fine alternative. THe color combo is awesome-and the swivel wheel is incredible. I will never buy a jogging stroller without a swivel wheel after using this one!! It is a tad on the heavy side when folded, but it is still doable- The following review received 31 helpful votes out of 33 total votes: Review Date: 2007-03-31 "Good stroller, but be wary with taller kids who want to sit all the time." I bought this stroller for my 6 mo old and 3 yo. My 3 yo daughter is tall for her age, and at 40 in her head comes above the back of the seat and she sits scrunched up when both feet are on the foot rest. When I take her out in it she usually lets one foot dangle over the side of the foot rest to be more comfortable. She is a better fit if reclined back a little, but even that is tough since her head is past the top of the seat. I don't see this stroller lasting us as long as I would hoped...like when we go back to Disney in 2 years. The weight max is 100lbs, but they must think kids are made short and fat, b/c it just doesn't accomodate taller kids. It would be nice if they made it so that the seat came all the way up to the hood...

I've had a BOB Ironman for about a year and love it. But now that I have two kids, I needed a double stroller that could carry the kids on walks through the neighborhood and through the zoo. I wasn't ready to pay for the BOB Dualie.

Both, my 2 1/2 year old daughter and my 6 month old son, love riding in it so I am finally able to get back to the exercise routine I had previously. I find the stroller's manuverability to be fantastic. I mostly run/walk trails and this stroller is holding up well over the rougher terrain. One of my fears was that the stroller wouldn't fit into the trunk of my car (Nissan Altima), but with the quick(and easy)release function on the tires, the stroller collapes nicely and fits fine. Although I haven't used it (because I just placed the order for one), INSTEP makes a travel bag that I believe will be helpful when packing for trips. 4 stars The following review received 11 helpful votes out of 11 total votes: Review Date: 2007-06-12 "Great stroller and very inexpensive" I would really recommend this stroller and I use it for my 2 month old and 2 1/2 yr old for fast walks in and around our neighborhood. We live pretty close to a grocery store so I can even go there to pick up a few things. It is really not for packing in the car (although we have done that for some trips to parks like Sea World and Legoland). It is not very compact when folded. It is very light yet it seems durable. The canopy is not the greatest for sunblock as mentioned but that is easily remedied by purchasing a sunshade for double strollers. My friend has the bob double stroller which seems like an upgrade (very good quality) but in the end, mine is easier to push and a lot lighter with only 3 wheels (the bob has 4 wheels). I love it and it is an excellent price at $175. 5 stars | |
