double jogging stroller help

I'd like to get a double jogging stroller, more for everyday use than actual jogging. Who has one and can give a quick review? I'm looking for a reasonably priced one.

DD1 is currently 17 months and DD2 is 7 weeks (which is why I won't be jogging with it soon).

Right now I'm looking at the instep safari and grand safari and can't decide which is better. I also looked at baby trend bc I have their single jogger and love it...

  • I have the bumble ride indie twin but it's probably pricier than you want to spend. It retails for $730 new. I do love it though (we had a baby trend single, DS1 is 18 months and DS2 is 9 weeks) and I think it is way smoother of a ride than my baby trend was. I like that I can fit through most any standard doors even though they are side by side. I think Phil & Ted and somebody else (can't remember who, mountain buggy maybe?) make a tandem double jogger but I don't have any experience with it.

  • Oh and keep in mind if you want to use the car seat you are severely limited (ie baby trend or bumble ride were the only two I could find) but after 6 months I didn't find that I used the car seat anymore so that's something to consider too.

  • We have the Baby Trend one that doesn't hold a car seat, and we really like it so far. DH bought this snuggler insert thing (I'll have to ask him what it's actually called) that helps support the baby better. Plus it reclines almost the whole way back, so that helps to support her head and neck.
    One complaint is that it seems to be 1/2" too wide to fit through our front door, so we have to take it outside before setting it up and putting the girls in.

  • We use the Baby Trend side by side double stroller.  I specifically chose that one because it is compatible with our car seat and we have the single Baby Trend jogger and love it.  The double stroller is just as great!  So far we haven't had any problems getting through doorways and there is plenty of storage.

  • Double BOB.  Love love it.  I've run with our single, not the double yet.  It has an adaptor for the infant seat.  We use it all the time.

  • Double bob gets my vote as well! We love ours !!
  • I got a double BOB in perfect condition off of Craig's list for $200. I have the single and didn't think I would need a double since DS1 was all about protesting the stroller and only wanted to walk until the baby came along. I love the BOB.

    I just bought a Burley D'Lite.  It hasn't arrived yet, but I'll let you know what I think of it when it gets here.  It's built as a bike trailer, but has optional kits to turn it into a regular or jogging double stroller.  The D'lite has a lot of head room and from what I read fits kids comfortably up to age 5.
