User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good double stroller
We had the single jogger, same stroller and we absolutely love it. When my second daughter was born, we went out and purchased this one.
Pros –
~Solid stroller, rides like a dream compared to those plastic Gracco infant/toddler style strollers
~Compact for traveling, it folds down almost flat and you can take all three wheels right off with no tools to take along with you
~Parent “tray”, they have a little bag on the handlebars that I find very useful for holding drinks, sunblock, etc.
~Adjustable height handle, great for my wife and I since we are different heights
~each side can recline at different positions, my 2 year old’s sits up high and my 6 month old lies almost flat
Cons –
~The canopy provides good coverage and is movable, but compared to the single stroller canopy we have, it is a bit smaller. You might want to consider one of those kiddopotomus canopy extender things.
~No child snack tray (if that’s important to you)
~Climbing in and out – not the best little platform for the kids getting in and out, but my 2 year old manages
~the straps are a bit of a pain to adjust
Overall, I would definitely buy this again and recommend to a friend. Let’s face it, the BOB is the best in the market if money is no object but if money is even a thought, go for this one.
5 Stars LOVE THIS STROLLER!
I did a ton of research before selecting this stroller. I am SO happy with it. I am not a runner, but a real “exercise walker”. I didn’t need a high-end priced jogger, and this is just perfect. I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old. You only feel their weight difference when briefly going up onto a curb. Seats are comfy, little divider between the kids -although of course they can still touch- but you can see them from where you pushing behind the carriage. The sunshade is generous, although not foolproof, it is bigger than I saw advertised on most joggers. And there is a built-in rain protector which I didn’t realize until I got it. There is a good parent pouch for keys, etc., little mesh/elastic cup holders in each seat and also a mesh pocket behind each seat. The bottom stow area is large, but I havent used it for anything yet. It’s adjustable, yet just material, so I don’t think you are meant to store heavy stuff in it. I haven’t tried to get it in or out of the car yet, and I use a regular double stroller in the stores, etc. but this fits (just fits!) right out my regular sized front door. The leg bar didn’t seem to bother my 2 year old, and he’s tall for his age, and the seatback is plenty high enough. The seats sit up farther/better than I thought they would based on other reviews. My husband and I were both wanting to push on our walks, the steering is SO easy is is almost easier to walk pushing it than not! No problems at all with the steering or wheels turning. LOVE IT.
4 Stars Double Jogging Stroller
Great stroller overall, and fast shipping. I received it within four days. Easy to assemble. A bit frustrating though since a plastic piece that locks the front wheel was broken. I had to call the manufacturer and received a replacement after a few weeks due to the part being on backorder. I had no problem with the bar hurting my kids when they sit in it. If you have a taller child you easily see that the design works. It supports their neck really well and I had no complaints about it being uncomfortable from them. Overall a great purchase except not too happy about the color. It’s not as bright and vivid as in the pictures. I would have rather paid more to get the red or blue version instead.
5 Stars Rolls like a dream!
This is a great stroller! It feels like a luxury stroller. It moves incredibly easy, the swivel wheel is very smooth, and locks in place to run with safely. The wheels are large and wide for great stability. The included rain/wind shield is a nice touch and covers the children completely. The handle adjusts quickly and easily to accommodate any height, I am 6′4″ and it could suit someone even a few inches taller. Some reviews have complained about the seat heights. The back part of the seat is only 17.5″ but the seat pad over the back goes up to 20″ and it’s not uncomfortable for our very tall daughter, she still has head room beneath the canopy. The only complaint we have is the parent console that hangs off of the handle just swings and when the handle is adjusted it sits at an angle potentially tipping out a drink or other contents of the console. Overall though, we are extremely pleased.
5 Stars Absolutely fell in love with it
I am a daycare provider and needed a stroller that moved easily. I researched and researched before buying this one and I must say that I am absolutely in love with it. I love all the storage space and I love how it holds two toddlers who have a combined weight of 55lbs and moves with so much ease. What a great investment. So easy to put together too. I was a bit worried when I heard a few complaints about the swivel wheel moving around alot but I have to say that I have no problems. Love it…love it…love it.
