3 Double Jogging Stroller Money Saving Tips

Ask anybody who has bought an infant double jogging stroller, and they’ll tell you that it isn’t an inexpensive item.

However, the benefits of jogging strollers make them well worth the purchase price!

Jogging strollers are great for exercise because you don’t have to pay for a sitter while you go to a gym and work out. With a double jogging stroller, you can load the kids up and burn some calories whenever the weather permits.

There are many different brands of double jogging strollers available, and a wide variation in cost. Many people believe that when it comes to a jogging stroller, you get what you pay for.

Naturally, you want to buy a double jogging stroller that is safe for your children.

However, although you are safety conscious, you might be money conscious, too, during this tough economic recession; and not want to spend more than you have to in order to get a good, safe, double jogging stroller.

If you don’t really care whether or not the stroller is brand new with all the bells and whistles, you can often save a nice little chunk of change.

Here are 3 tried and true tips that will help you save money on a double jogging stroller:

1. Check your local Freecycle, Craigslist, or classified newspaper ads for free or reasonably priced good used jogging strollers. If your local newspaper has a Trade or Barter section, check there, too. You might be able to swap something—items you no longer use or need, or your professional services—for a very nice double jogging stroller. Besides these print sources, many places have a local radio station with a “Swap and Shop” type of program where you can call in to either sell unwanted items, or let the listening public know that you wish to buy a specific item. These radio programs are often a good way to locate something you need at a good price.

2. Check your local brick and mortar stores such as Target for discontinued models, floor models, or last year’s models that are marked down to clearance prices to make room for the new stock. You can often save as much as 75% off the original price of a double jogging stroller. That’s a significant savings!

3. Don’t overlook the internet as a source of bargains just because a double jogging stroller is a large and fairly heavy item, and you’re worried about paying a lot for shipping. Many online retailers offer free shipping if you spend X amount of dollars, and this often applies to sale items. Another possibility is eBay. If you search by location, you might be able to find a double jogging stroller in your town, or close enough to drive and pick it up, at a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Now, get a double jogging stroller and get you and the kiddies out there enjoying the great outdoors!
