Don't like our Stroller

sylver408

Ok so we have the Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller and I don't like it no more.

I now want a baby jogger.  They are pretty expensive so I wanted to know from moms that have one which is best?

What about it do you not like?

Which baby jogger are you looking at?  They are pretty different.  I have a Bumbleride and we love it.

Actually my twin are almost 7 months old.

We picked the BJ City select because of all the versatility.  I don't jog or plan any rough terrain travel so that influenced our decision.

If $$$ isn't an issue, I would like the Bumbleride Indie Twin or the BOB jogging stroller. I have the Baby Trend Expedition double jogger--it's not the top of the line BUT it gets the job done (I jog or walk and even do 5Ks with this stroller). It's affordable (less than $200) and easy maintenance.

Sorry about that - I went back and edited my response...

So what is it that you don't like about it?

I have the BJ City Select and LOVE it- if i could only have one stroller, this would be the one... it's such a great ride, nice and "small" for a double when dealing with shopping inside, etc.... and great features (huge sun shades, big storage, hand break that i LOVE)

If I was going to get a SBS I'd either get the City Elite or the Bumbleride.  I have a valco but only b/c i needed the 3rd seat... and now that i don't need that i'm considering selling it and getting a bumbleride- i saw one today and loved it- the storage is huge for a SBS and really accessible- which is one of the things I don't like about the valco (and many other SBS's... often have a bar in the way of storage, etc)

So it sounds like you want a SBS - so are you thinking about the city mini then?

It's a great stroller - BUT it's not made for rough terrain or jogging.  Just make sure you are ok with that.

Also, be sure to try out a City Mini before you buy - they have singles at BRU.  The stroller was WAY too short for me - I kicked the rear axel every time I took a step.  No way I could stand that!  I am REALLY tall, though, so this probably isn't a problem for most people.

I picked up an almost new Bumbleride Indie Twin on craigslist and I love it!  Super smooth ride, and easy to navigate.  It also fits through all standard doorways.

Hmm-- the reason I love our City Mini is because the handlebar is so tall. I must be really short, lol!

I have a City Mini Double and I'm in love.  Granted my twins are only 8 weeks old, but so far we love it.  Its recommended for 6+ months, but I read that you can put a headrest (like out of a car seat) in it and recline it all the way back until they have better head control.  We've been on a couple walks with it and love how it glides.  I'm excited to use it out and about when they get a little bigger!

I don't think it was very expensive (it was a gift from my mom).  I think they run about $429.  In twin stroller world, thats pretty good...from what I've seen anyway.
