Comments:

This has been an amazing double stroller for us! I did a lot of research and reading other people's reviews, and I'm so glad we purchased this! Not being able to see it in person before we bought it was tough to get over, but after I got it and trusted the reviews, I couldn't be happier.I have had the stroller for 3 months. Like another viewer said, my back foam filled tire was collapsed when we first put it together and caused for an uneven bumpy ride. I called the number provided and they sent me a new one no questions asked [...] I have had no problems since-great customer service!I have a 21 month old and a 5 month old. My 21 month old fits great in it and loves the snack tray (bought separately with the double belly bumper bar). It's a little tall, but it works just fine for him. My 5 month old has been in it since he was 3 months. I use a "snuzzler" from his car seat to insert into his stroller seat, adjust the staps, recline the seat, and he's secure and ready to go! The canopies are huge, adjustable and amazing on this stroller and I don't have to worry about the sun getting in either of their eyes. I also like the several magnetic peek-a-boo windows.The basket is a good size, but the bar in the middle makes it a little difficult to get things in and out of. I like the brake on the side of the adjustable handles-easy.The parent console is awesome. Tons of pockets with room to store just about everything-keys, cell phone, water bottles, kleenex, binkies, etc. There's even more pockets on the back of the seats. Some other high priced models don't include a parent console...It's easy to maneuver and easy to lock the front wheels if going for a jog. I wanted swivel front wheels with the ability to lock. Smooth ride for my two boys!This stroller does fit through most standard doorways!The fold is super easy and you don't even have to think about it.Heavy,(41 lbs) but you're not carrying it around, so as long as you can get it in and out of your car, that's fine.…

It's great walking around the neighborhood and for taking the kids to the mall. It is a bit on the heavy side, but I'm okay with that.

A very good stroller. I read all the reviews about it being too heavy, but if you're looking for a nice stroller with these features it's going to be heavy and there's no way around that. If you're just getting it in and out of the car then you'll be fine. It pushes like a dream and the kids are super comfortable. We bought the cup holders for the parents as well as the belly bar and two trays. The trays are really nice, but the bar mounts in a really awkward position that makes it impossible to use by little kids and makes it so they can't see out of the stroller. I'd still buy it if I had it to do over again because it helps with the bigger kids, but for my 1 yr old it's a hindrance. One problem we had was with the foam being messed up in the rear wheels. We specifically waited for this year model because of the foam filled tires and were disappointed when the rear wheels had a section of foam that collapsed. It caused the stroller to be super bouncy when pushing it. I contacted Baby Jogger and they sent me two new rear wheels at no charge to me and it fixed the problem. That's exactly what I'd expect from a stroller of this quality. The basket has plenty of room for us but is a little tricky to get bigger things out because of the bar in the middle. There's also netting on the backs of the seats that we throw snacks and wipes in. We currently push a 50 lb and 40 lb child in the double stroller most of the time. It's a dream to push even with that kind of a weight in it. The canopies are the best I've ever seen on a stroller. They can almost come all the way down to the belly bar if you pull them down that far. They have multiple windows and vents that all hold back with magnets. They do a super great job of keeping the sun off your children. The seat belts are nice, but a little tricky to loosen. We don't do that very often so it's not a big deal. I think they're actually a great design once you get used to using them. The buckles are super strong quality. The…

I use this stroller everyday when I take my one year old and 3 year old with me while I exercise. This is the 4th double jogger I have owned. The others had issues with the front wheel and were returned. So far so good with this one! I really like that it has the parent pockets and the adjustable handle bar. What I wish it came with (for the price) is a child snack and drink tray. That is my main and only negative comment.

One of our best online purchasing experiences. We emailed Peppyparents multiple times with questions prior to purchasing and received near instantaneous response from an actual person(even in the middle of the night). The stroller is great. Not only can my 5 month old sit comfortably, buy my almost 3 year old digs it too and is able to lay all the way down if she needs to nap. [...] We have already recommended this stroller and more specifically this site to our friends

This stroller is great! [...] first of all, it is so easy to manuover with just one hand and my kids enjoy riding it. Both my kids are at 95% with their weight and height and they are comfortable in it. The only con is that it's heavy, being only 5'3" i've realized that all doubles are heavy.
