Other than the BOB can anyone recommend a decent (cheap) double jogger. I just want to use it to run with the kids a couple times a week for a couple miles. We have the Combi twin and I LOVE IT, so I just need something to use just for running. Thanks!!
Re: Double jogger- other than BOB
If you are actually going to run, I really do recommend a BOB or baby jogger summit... The best way to get an affordable one is to search your local craig's list, I got my Baby jogger double for $300 barely used, I'm sure you can do better if you have a lot of time to search.
Baby trend has a double "jogger" but it really isn't meant for jogging, I think it's $250 at babies r us.
I have both the double and single baby trend joggers and run with it and love it.
I got my double for 210
If you are *really* going to run (several miles, regularly, not walking) then you need to spend more money. It isn't about it being brand name, it is about the construction of the stroller, the tires, the shocks and suspension. Things like that are expensive to engineer and produce, hence the high pricetag. BOB is one of the few strollers where if you look at the construction you can easily see where your $$ goes.
I got my BOB Duallie on craigslist for $350 and it was almost brand new (plastic packaging still on the straps).
I have also heard decent things about the Mountain Buggy Duo+ and the Baby Jogger Summit. Of course, they are also pretty pricey.
Craigslist is a really good tool for these strollers. A lot of people think they are going to use jogging strollers and then they collect dust. You can take advantage of that and save $200
