User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great stroller for a budget price!
I just got this stroller for my 20 month old and the 5 month old that I take care of, and so far I really like it! It was easy to put together, rolls well and turns wonderfully. I have a single Bob too and of course it isn’t as awesome as that, but I also spent less than a fourth of what a double Bob costs, so I wasn’t expecting the same quality! It actually isn’t that much worse though, considering the price difference. I like the way the seats lay back or sit up (great for both ages). I don’t think the recline is enough for a newborn, it’s not as far as my Bob, but the 5 month old is super strong and seems fine with it. The only thing that really bugs me is the sun shade, but I read that in other reviews so I was expecting it. I did a ton of research on double joggers with the swivel wheel and decided on this one despite the negative reviews on the sun shade, and I’m glad that I did! I rigged some shad with a baby blanket and some safety pins for now, but may decide to invest in a sun shade attachment later. Still, I would recommend this product overall for it’s quality and features if you’re looking for a great stroller for a budget price!
1 Star cheap but too cheap
The stroller is really difficult to steer, does not handle well, and doesn’t fold into something you can easily move. I called the helpline to complain, they said the front wheel washer was probably not put on in the factory, sure enough when I took all the screws off and pulled off the front wheel fender (foot rest) there was no washer on the front wheel bolt. They mailed a washer- it took two weeks to get here (the stroller took less time). The washer did not improve the handling or steering. You tighten the front wheel bolt and over not much time it loosens to the point that you have to take off the fender again to re-tighten it. All this adjusting makes you not want to use the stroller- who has time to fix it each time?? The very first time I took off the fender one of the screws broke. All the wheels were incredibly squeaky right out of the box, but the front wheel has been really problematic. I passed another person with the same stroller in the park- they too were squeaking away. For all its mechanical difficulties, it doesn’t even fold well- leaving you with a huge strangely and shaped partially immovable dense mass that does not fit into my SUV! I would not recommend this to anyone else.
1 Star Would love to return
The front wheel is terrible. It’s hard to turn and the front wheel gets caught sideways and will not rotate. If I did not throw away the box I would send it back. Very poor construction.
4 Stars Good Stroller
Great Stroller for walking. Everything seems good. My 3 year old is almost to big for it. I don’t like the sunshade because it is not big enough, wish the sun shade had a peek hole so I can see my kids when I am walking. Love the parent console that is comes with to hold my Diet Coke, really like the front bar, rides smooth.
Overall Good stroller for the money!
4 Stars Great jogger for the $
Great double jogger! I have a 2 yr old and an 8 month old and they love to take walks in this stroller. I don’t know if I’d recommend it for actual joggers/runners but it’s great for the walker. The front wheel does wobble a bit at times but not so badly that it impacts basic performance. Love the front swivel wheel – crucial! Much more functional for me than the Graco tandem stroller ever was.
