Dbl. jogger w/pivoting smaller front wheel

[reeanna]

Has anyone seen/used one of these? We saw a few of them in use at the parks in Feb. The front wheel is now actually smaller & you have the option to have it pivot or remain still. Its got to make steering a LOT easier. I've checked a few out on line, but none of my local stores carry them so test-driving is not an option. I know there's been a lot of controversey re: dbl. jogging strollers in the parks. To me, they didn't look any wider than the dbl. strollers you can rent from WDW but I could be wrong...We may buy one for our next trip in Jan (slower time of year). Has anyone used one? I'm considering either the InStep AR260 Safari w/TT Turn Tech or the Safetech dbl. deluxe- any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

The jogging strollers that WDW usea made by Baby Jogger . They apparently are not making the "City Twinner" double stroller anymore according to their wesite, but it does say they were made for "one of America's most famous theme parks" .
The problem with jogging strollers involved the ones with the big front tire that doesn't swivel. For a while, if people brought that kind into the parks, the parks "traded' them a WDW stroller and stored the jogging stroller for the day. it was reported on the DIS Boards a year ago in August.

Hello Reeanna!!! Sorry I can't be of any help with your stroller question. Your name catches my eye every time I see it. I am from a family of three "r" girls. I am Renessa, and have two sisters, Reannon and Rejena. Good luck with your stroller dilema!

We have a bike trailer that can be used as a stroller. It has the smaller front pivoting wheel.

I hate it!

I was just talking to my DH about this the other night. I told hime that I wish we had the regular jogging stroller.

It just isn't comfortable to steer.

We have the "City Twinner" and love it. It is easy to stear and the front wheel is easily interchangable from the big wheel to the small one. The big problem with these strollers is the size. Ours folds up flat but would be quite a pain to carry on and off the bus. I don't think we would consider taking it to WDW especially b/c of the weight. We love our stroller for around town and the beach, but prefer to rent a stroller at WDW. This year I think we are just going to take a single for our 3 year-old and see if the 5 year-old can walk. We do not plan to spend more than 3-4 hours at a time in the park. If all else fails we will rent a single for the older one.
