5 Stars I bought this item for my two grandkids that I watch every day. When the stroller arrived, I had to assemble it. Being a widow, I thought that I would be challenged. However, it turned out that I was able to finish assembling in less than 30 minutes. (HINT: I read the instructions as I went along). My grandkids just LOVE this stoller. I am too old to jog so I bought it for long walks. My grandkids lounge like a little king and queen while I push them along. I love this stroller because the wheels are inflatable tires, so the ride is cushioned. I also love the swiveling front wheel. It makes turning sooooo easy. With the free shipping, this buy was a steal!!!
4 Stars We actually purchased this stroller used recently and love it! We own the Schwinn Safari II single jogger and have loved that stroller and this is the same, but bigger for two. It’s perfect for our 2 1/2 year old and 10 month old. The sunshade is my only complaint, it isn’t functional, but we are picking up one we can add on to the stroller.
Other than that, this is great! Turns easily and my little peeps are right there in front of me, where I can see and talk to them easily. I like to fast walk and do some light jogging and it works great! We are looking forward taking it to our local farmers market and zoo this summer and other outings too.
4 Stars This stroller is light and easy to push. It turns on a dime even when the front wheel is in the locked position. The seats recline easily and the hood has a clear pane in it so you can see your children when the hood is deployed. I like this stroller much better than my more expensive Zooper single stroller. Most importantly, my children like it, too! However, the lack of adequate sun screen as well as the difficulty getting things in and out of the basket underneath the stroller is why I didn’t give it a 5-star rating.
4 Stars the stroller is great as far as the construction of it. the fabric is good..some of the velcro looks worn though but still work. the only thing with the swirl is that when i run at a fast pace it moves uncontrollably so i had to lock it but at normal ‘jogging’ pace and walking it works fine. most if not all swirl front wheel have this issue they arent meant for a regular runner at a fast pace you will have to lock the front wheel. the stroller is lighter then the other one we got from baby’r'us. the only draw back is the sunshade doesnt go any further then what the picture shows. i had to buy an extra sun shade since the sun definitely are in my girls eyes. there isnt a parent tray, it just comes with a pocket attachment which is fine with me but not to my wife. i would buy it again if this one breaks.
4 Stars While the stroller itself is good quality, easy to put together, there are just a couple things that would be nice, the shade doesn’t cover anything, and my two year olds head hangs over the top but he doesn’t seem to notice, I wish it had a parent tray, but I guess you can buy those seperatly. but it does push really nice, I keep the front wheel locked b/c it shakes if you are going on a fast walk. and the colors are really cute, lots of compliments, the bottom holder is really small so as long as you aren’t planning to pack a lot it is good, all in all it is a good stroller for the price.
adding to my first review, afer having it for a while, I still like it, however the front wheel fell right of in the middle of a walk, we barley hit a bump. I was able to shove it back on even though the metal was bent.
4 Stars And by solid I do mean solid. This is a heavy stroller. I don’t have a problem moving it in and out of our van (not too bad for my tall wife) but for some people it could be tricky.
Many have mentioned the ineffectual sunshade. I agree. We bought a flexible shade that works fairly well if there is minimal wind.
This is a cost-effective choice. For the money it is a great value. There is decent storage underneath, and I found the strapped-on cupholder on the handle adequate for our needs. It is not the “tray” described in the literature.
The wheels are sturdy. I was glad to have actual tires. This makes for a nice ride for the kids (1 & almost 3) who have never seemed uncomfortable.
It would be nice to have some kind of cover for the shoulder and leg straps. We used receiving blankets when my daughter was smaller.
We took it to the beach last Saturday and it was great on the sand. When the kids wanted to walk it held all the gear, a plus for a hot day.
I recommend it highly. The 4 star is for the weight and sunshade. The value more than compensates, but the product itself is still 4 stars.
4 Stars I love my new jogging stroller! It’s very easy to steer and push. I only wish the canopy would protect the kids more. Overall great product for the price.
4 Stars I was happy to find a good deal here for a double jogger stroller. I do not jog with ours but we used our older version for busch gardens, walks, disney etc and hated that the wheel didnt swivel in the front, so I am very HAPPy to have a front wheel that swivels. its sorta heavier than our older one and i so wish they had a better parent tray type thing or areas for larger cups and things and a bigger shade for the kiddos. But besides that my tall five year old and four year old sons love it and did well in it on our first outing recently. I did order the BOB parent tray thing to use for it and it does help some… i did like someone here recommended and put the other one down there for the boys to put their cups but their cups were too large and spilled over so maybe smaller cups would work i dont know… my dh is tall and didnt mind it was a lower handle he was also happy about the front swivel wheel! I like the bar too because makes it a little more difficult for them to jump out hehe since they are long legged which helps us but you can take it off if wanted as well so it does remove… I was glad to see the reviews here to help with things to order extra for it and the part about it closes better without using the clip for closure for fitting in the trunk… i do wish all the colors were marked down and not sure where there was one for 150something as it says prices started at as i didnt see any that price but for 160ish we thought it was a good deal!
4 Stars I am a mother of a two year old and a 6 month old and have never owned a jogger before. I love it! It it rides so smoothly and my kids love it. It is so easy to push and steer. There is plenty of storage in the basket. The only thing I would do to change it is have a better canopy–it does not provide much shade for the kids at all. The other thing I love it that the seats recline-independently so my 6 month can lay back and my 2 year old can sit up. It doesn’t go up to a 90 degree angle but my other graco single stroller didn’t either and it isn’t a big deal with my son-he just holds the grab bar if he wants to sit up more. Overall–awesome product and recommend to anyone.
4 Stars this stroller is working out well for us. it is nice to have the front wheel swivel when you are just using it at the park, and you can lock it for jogging. My 3yr old is a little tall for it, but she can still use it and should be able to for ar least another year without too much trouble.
