This was purchased for my daughter who is expecting twins. It is what she wanted so I am assuming it met her expectations.

I do like this stroller very much. Although I walk 2-3 times a week and the weather has been pathetic so I haven’t been able to use it as much. I have already had to fill the tires with air. Otherwise it has a horrible lean if even one of the tires is a little low. It is ackward to get in and out of my car, wish there was some sort of handle to pull it in and out of. I do love it and it is so easy to move when I really get going. My 10 mth old and 3 yr old fit lovely in it. Overall for the money I paid and the fact that I do not jog with it I walk it is just what I expected to get.

We bought this stroller b/c we read the reviews (which were mostly positive) and were happy with the price. We have a son who just turned three a couple weeks ago and he is abnormally large for his age (about 43 inches tall and 43 lbs). We wanted a less expensive stroller because we knew we are not going to get much use out of it since our son is likely to get much larger and our chidren’s combined weight (currently 70 lbs) will exceed the weight limit of 100 lbs.
I took this stroller out for a jog with my two kids the night we received it. It is a great jogging stroller!!! I barely felt the kids weight. I just pushed it lightly and jogged freely behind it. It was wonderful for jogging outdoors!
Indoors is another story. This stroller is impossible to maneuver!!! The front wheel gets stuck any time I try to turn the stroller when we’re in a store. It gets turned sideways and does not self correct. It’s so frustrating to get stuck! And what’s worse is the back left wheel started squeaking, LOUD!!! I have had this stroller for less than two weeks and am very displeased with it’s indoor performance and low quality.
However, I remembered I did not buy a $400-600 dollar stroller b/c we’re not going to be able to use a double very long, and I’m just hoping some WD-40 will solve the squeaking in the back wheel and I can figure out some way to maneuver the stroller indoors.

I have a 9 month old and a two year old and we have been using our jogger for almost about 5 months. I noticed that something was creeking on the jogger as we were running the other day. All of a sudden the front wheel came flying off and the whole jogger flipped over as the wheel fell in a ditch. I am very careful with it but need to get it fixed. It was such a shame because my daughter split her chin open from falling on the concrete. I am not sure if we are just using it too much…but it has been great up until that day..Now the squeaking is still there and it needs to be looked at carefully to determine the problem. I have put the children in it but we have just been walking.

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!
