double jogging stroller for tall parents?

My hubby and I are tall, and the jogging strollers that we have casually looked at are a little on the short side, especially with our long stride. Enter another complication: we have 2 kids under 2, so we need a double jogging stroller. 

Would love some recommendations! Thanks!

    If we are lucky enough to have another, this is on my wish list :) BOB is pricey, but the quality is absolutely worth it!

  • Great! Thank you, ladies!

  • Definitely the BOB.  No double stroller out there is easier to push with 2 kids in it.  I adore mine.

  • I would look at the double baby jogger summit x3. It is comparable to the bob but I have heard it's good for taller parents.

  • We choose a single Baby Jogger Summit X3.  The thing with the Bob is that our baby is tall like us-or at least long torso-ed like DH.  We went to the store when she was 12 months, and her head was already near the canopy on the Bob.  She cried when we put her in it, but was happy in the City Mini in the store, so we figured the Summit would have a similar feel.  She likes the Summit and DH, who is 6 feet tall, likes it too.  I'm not sure how it would be for someone much taller--but I'd at least put it on your list.  For a double, we'll probably get the City Mini GT b/c I just cannot imagine hauling around something larger and I want to be able to fit through doors. I like the 1-handed fold of Baby Jogger strollers.
  • We love our schwin! Pushes so nice about half the price of a bob and has a adjustable handle
