Hi Mommies, I am a serious runner looking to purchase a double jogging stroller asap. I recently tried a friends stroller and it was very hard to steer. I had to stop running just to turn a corner. Since i will be spending a lot of money on this purchase, and i will be useing it several times a week, I want to make sure that i don't hate it. What brands do you use and what are the pros and cons of each? My boys are 3.5 and 1.5. I live in Lansdale, Pa. if you are looking to sell one. Thanks!
I've loved my BOB duallie! It's big, but fairly light and you can set the front wheel easily to turn for jogging/running or to be stationary if you want it that way. When it's set to turn, it's very easy to turn while running. I rolls very smoothly.
I have a double mountain buggy. I bought this type because it carried up to 85 pounds. I loved it..saddly my kiddos have outgrown it. My advise it to get a stroller with 2 wheels in the front also!
I have a Kool Stride double job stroller in medium blue color. It is a few years old but in decent condition. It offers a very smooth ride for travellers. Some features include seat belts, brakes, canopy and emergency strap. It serves the purpose for running at home and does not collapse. This was never a drawback for me. If you want to travel with it, simply remove the front wheel. It is simple. You will be very pleased with the ride. I will send photos if you would like. K. B.
just one more vote for BOB!!! love my single and plan on getting a double.
We did our research and yes, the BOB Revolution is the best! Keep in mind that all/most jogging strollers have a lock that can be used on the wheel to keep it going straight, or you can unlock it to make turning corners easier. It may be that the wheel was locked on your friend's stroller.
I have a single BOB, and really like it. The front wheel locks so that while you'e running it doesn't dart all over the place, so to turn you just tip it back a bit to lift the front wheel.
Definitely check on craigs list -- they usually have used ones that people are getting rid of.
the BOB REVOLUTION double stoller is awesome! i have the single, but they both have the swivel wheel which makes it very easy to run with. you can also lock it in place if you prefer. my daughter is almost 4 and still fits comfortably in it. i highly recommend this jog stroller to EVERYONE!
you can get them online or in specialty running stores!
