I am the mom of 6 month boy girl twins and am looking to purchase a double jogger. Any suggestions? We want something lightweight and easy to open and fold up. Looking to buy one soon since our other stollers are just too bumpy for outdoor walking. We are looking forward to many outdoor walks soon:) Thanks!
Def. go with the bob double jogger. It is a little more expensive, but it is the best. So easy to open and close and manuver. It is awesome...very smooth. I was a big walker and runner and my kids were sooo comfortable in it.
I will third the opinions about the BOB Revolution Duallie - I love it and I run with my kids several days a week. I don't know that you will find any double joggers that are lightweight, I've tried several, but the BOB is easy to open and fold. I put it in the back of our SUV to run in different places, it's heavy but it is possible to do. Get the weather shield and you can take the kids out in any weather.
I have a Bob Revolution Duallie and I love it too. But, it is VERY heavy. So much so that I leave it in the garage so I can just take it on walks around the neighborhood. The only reason I'd be willing to hoist that thing in and out of the car is if we're going to the arboretum, zoo, or pumpkin farm. It's not very practical at the mall. I don't know of any good joggers that are lightweight. They might not exist :-)
I have a Bob Revolution Duallie and LOVE it! I haven't used it yet for running (but I plan on it) but have used it for walking indoors and have really enjoyed it. Compared to my Graco travel system (a single), I would not call the Bob lightweight.
I also have boy girl twins and I went through a 1/2 dozen of strollers. I attempted to go the "cheap" route and tried a whole variety of strollers. If I just would have spent the time and researched I would have saved myself a whole lot of time and MONEY!! I would buy the Bob - jogging stroller (the bob has a swivel front wheel and its so easy to fold etc.) and the Jeep liberty umbrella stroller (for lightweight stroller)
I'm not a jogger, but have the Baby Jogger City Mini and love it. It weighs about 21 lbs - I think that's lighter than most doubles. It's easy to open and close and folds pretty flat and will fit through any handicapped-accessible door. It's also pretty easy to steer with one hand even with both kids. Both seats fully recline, and it has great canopies. I think it's less expensive than the BOB but we had to buy all of the accessories: parent console/cup and keyholder, rain shield and that adds up. We bought ours on amazon and didn't have to pay tax or shipping.
As many others have said, I would definitely go with the BOB Revolution Duallie. We have one and use it almost every day! It's so easy to walk/run with and is a much smoother ride than any other stroller I've ever tried. It folds up easily and has extra storage space underneath as well as pockets behind the seats. It's a more expensive option, but I think it's one of the best purchases we've ever made!
By the way, I also ordered the Duallie Handlebar Console to hold my keys, phone, drinks, etc. It's the perfect accessory! It was only 20 bucks and it really puts my mind at ease to have a safe place for all the little things. Good luck!
