 "Great stroller for 2 babies" | 2008-09-22 |

This stroller works great for hauling 2 babies around. We use it for our 5-month-old and a 6-month-old that we nanny share with. I love the swivel front wheel and the large storage compartment below. It's also nice to have each side able to recline separately so one baby can sleep while the other sits up and looks around. I saw a lot of the comments about the sun shade being too small and I think it works great. Maybe the company has changed it but it's much better than a single jogger we have that won't shade the baby's face when we're at certain angles to the sun. Also, there were a couple of reviews saying the seat was too short...I havne't noticed this was a problem but since the boys are pretty young, this may be in an issue as they grow.
There are a couple small problems with the product. I actually purchased this stroller because the dimensions advertised on the Amazon website (16" H when folded) was the smallest of the double strollers with adjustable front wheels and we needed one that would fit into the trunk of a Honda Civic. The stroller does not actually fold up as small as advertised but I can jamb it in there by taking off the front wheel. Since I can get it in, it's not much of a problem. Also, there's no cupholder...the single stroller that we have actually has 2 cup holders, which is very handy. Overall, a great product and I would recommend it highly. |

| I've loved this stroller for the past 2 seasons with my 2 kids (24 months apart.) Now that the third one has arrived, I've fully realized the greatness of this stroller. The baby and the 2 year old sit side by side and when my 4 year old gets tired of walking he sits on the footguard and rides too! Sure it isn't the most comfortable spot in the world and I bet Schwinn wouldn't recommend it, but it sure gets the job done. My biggest boy thinks it is cool up there and we've been all over Boston with all 3 kids at once. This functionality is worth it's weight in gold! |

I have been hunting for a solid, double jogging stroller for 7 years. I didn't want to spend more than $300, which was already a stretch for me. This one is great!!! I have had it about a month, and I have used it every day to push a 3 year old and a newborn about 1.5 miles to pick up kids at school. After seven years of pushing every other kind of stroller on the market, this is by far the easiest to push. It has storage for backpacks and waters. I love the built-in rainshield. The kids are comfortable in it, and both can either sleep or ride awake. I don't have the time or money to enroll in exercise classes, but I love to walk and be outside for exercise. This has been a true gift to myself to have walking time built in every day, and a stroller that can make it comfortable for the whole family. That's the best part of the deal!
For comparisons sake, I tried a different double stroller to save money about 4 years ago. It was about $100, and it lasted about a year...a very frustrating year. It was hard to push (small wheels, awkward maneuvering) and the tire rod bent one day while I was navigating a side walk. I wish I would have invested in the better one right away. |

We have had this stroller for over a year now and we bring it everywhere. The swivel front wheel makes all the difference in the world; turns on a dime! The price makes this stroller especially attractive. I bought this primarily for long walks on all sorts of different terrain with my 4 and 3 1/2 yo girls. It's been perfect. My girls have adjusted to the reclining seats by sitting forward, reclining when they want to sleep. My husband loves it because when we go out, we need to bring only one stroller. Our girls love riding together. I love it when I'm alone and I don't have to worry about both girls going in different directions! I'm always amazed at how perfectly it fits through doorways and tight spots (Schwinn did their homework). Walked all over Rome and the girls did just fine. We travel often as a family so having the girls sitting in the stoller while going through airports is a big safety plus. To make it easy to transport it between airports and public transportation, we use one of those long luggage straps that we can wrap around it to make it as compact as possible and that it stays closed when having to rush to catch a train or a bus. We have yet to encounter an obstacle that we haven't been able to get around. It's a handsome, sporty stroller. I'm able to fit it in the trunk of my tiny car (a 1987 Renault 4) by taking off the back wheels, which are easy to put on and take off in a second. Love the reflective strips that makes you visible from the front and from behind. It's enough to tighten the screws if the brake lever doesn't remain up. Using some kind of cover will adjust for any sun that the large shade does not cover (come to think of it, I need to buy a waterproof blanket for when it rains; that would put the cherry on top!) You will not find any complaints here. My 4 yo just turned 5 and the stroller is still good to go! Will definitely use it to its max. Honey, can we buy another one :-)

| Having had a nicer single stroller (Bertini), this stroller is definitely better priced but as such, includes cheap material. Very thin seats which seem terribly uncomfortable because they are very deep and slanted. Nowhere to rest head as reviewers have mentioned. Sun canopy large(though immovable) and stroller offers an easy ride for the parent. |

I was looking for a stroller with the following:
Swivel front wheel
Individual adjustable seats
Adjustable handlebar
Rain cover (included in price)
Good sun shield (with a peek through)
Good storage for taking things with us.
This stroller is WONDERFUL!!! I am so glad that this is the one I ended up getting. At first I thought the rainshild was not included and then I realized it is built in to the sun guard!!! When you get caught in the rain it is there for you, ready to use, and so easy to get to!
I haven't been this happy spending $250 in a long time :) |

 "Not Great" | 2008-07-11 |

| This stroller looks nice and seems sturdy, but I have discovered a lot of problems with it. At first, I thought we put it together wrong, but we double checked and it's correctly assembled. It's really wide and does not fit through store doorways or aisles. The seats are always reclined, even in the "sitting up" position. When I release the clip to lower the seat back, it maybe goes down an inch more. My sons are usually trying to pull themselves up to look around, then get frustrated that they can't, then they just try to climb out. So I end up pushing the stroller, carrying one son and walking the other. The cushioning is very thin, and there is a rounded support bar that can be felt underneath the fabric near the head area, and it seems VERY uncomfortable for my sons. Their heads definitely rest on that bar, so we put pillows/blankets under their heads. I am not a big fan of the huge sun visor, it is very large and not attached to the stroller very well. I think I would have preferred a jogger with two separate visors. On the plus side, it is easy to fold and very smooth riding - great for a quick jog, but not a great multi-purpose stroller. |

| I love this stroller it worked great until I started to jog with it the only downfall is the back wheels they wobble at a fast walk or jog. It makes it feel unsafe and is hard to controil. |

We ordered this stroller for a family vacation. We have twins and transporting them through the airport was a breeze. I did not give it five stars because when it folds, it does not lock in place. So when it is picked up it just comes unfolded which is NOT a good thing. WE bought a cheap dog collar with a snap and wrap it around the handle and wheel axel to keep it from opening, which seems to work fine so far. Also, the visor does not stay in place, so when you are out in the sun you have to keep opening it so they stay protected. We have not found a solution for that problem yet,tightening the bolts does not work. As far as the manuvering part smooth as can be.

| We have 4 boys and with a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old, Mom wanted out of the house for walks during the day while I'm at work. Well, this fits the bill. Excellent, well designed, comfortable and light weight. One reviewer mentioned it doesn't lock. Either something is wrong with her particular unit or she doesn't have the locks all the way down. When ours is locked, it's not coming undone. And it has a one hand, slide and squeeze for easy folding. fits through 36 inch doors and you can free wheel or the locking pin in the front is great to hold the wheel straight and use as a jogger. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a double. Oh, we always have problems with the sun, this one comes far enough out to keep the sun out of their eyes, even when they are laying down. Large bike type air wheels make bumps smoother, even on gravel. And the removable seats are cusioned and easy to throw in the washer. Easy removal. GREAT GREAT Product! And we have lots of experience, this being our 4th stroller. |
