Debra's Revived Double Stroller Swap ***FULL***

[parith1114]

I was looking at a Tike Tech Trax 360 at jogging stroller.com. It's on clearance right now, have a look and tell me what you all think. I think it's fitting that it is only avaible in two colors and one happens to be Dis lime green. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

This one looks pretty good. It is the In Step Suburban Safari Double Jogging Stroller from jogging-stroller-superstore. 150 pound capacity.
It is on sale right now for ~165 bucks. What do you think?

Looks pretty good, much cheaper than the option I was looking at. I read some of the reviews and it said the weight limit is actually 100lbs, but I think that is more than enough. If everyone agrees we can select this one. I'll have to find some compatible drink holders and maybe a larger sun shade. Any more suggestions?

 

[debraW76]

that one looks good to me. Parith we have 8 people do you want to go ahead with it?

 

[parith1114]

bump, bump, bump 2 more and we'll order

 

[xrayvin]

I am also wanting a jogger over an umbrella. I will have older bigger kids (both will be 4 1/2 and we have a 7 y/o that may catch a ride occationally)
My main things are the weight/ reclining/sunshade/and maybe a place for kids to put a drink. I am also using Disney transportation so I want to make sure I am able to get the stroller on the bus.
I did notice that you wanted to only go through Nov and of course my dates are in Dec, just making sure this is going to be ok. Then am I going to be the last one or will you extend out through Dec?
How does the payment thing work? I see you want to get 2 more (10 total) and then order. What will need to be done before this? If we have 10 people then in order to have a $20pp price we have to be able to get the stroller/shipping and accessories for $200, is that possible? I am just starting to check out all the prior recommended strollers so at this point I am a clean slate!
Also are the resorts good about holding strollers? Currently there is a gap that is 10-11 days between TSNCS and myself.
I think that is all for my questions right now. I will check out these strollers. Am I right to assume that we are currently leaning toward In Step Suburban Safari Double Jogging stroller?

 

[xrayvin]

OK I have read some reviews. I am taking back the need for a tray for the kids (not really needed) I do think the sunshade is a good idea. Royal Carriage suggests Kiddopotamus Sun Shade and it looks pretty good! ($15 at walmart) Other swaps suggest a rain cover, I am not sure if anyone else is thinking about this? I do know that it is common for rain showers in the afternoon in FL. I think either the InStep Suburban Safari Double Jogging Stroller or the InStep Safari Double Jogging Stroller would be great.
I also read that guest services will only hold stroller for 1 week. So what happens if we have gaps of more then 7 days?
There is a sticky thread with all swaps listed how do we get on that one? Maybe we can fill in more dates if we are listed with all the other ones.

 

[PattyTink]

Ok, I would be interested in a rain cover. I think that is very important as we are going in hurricane season. So, that is an accessory. I think we should really look into.

 

[TSNCS]

If we could just get our swap added to the sticky, we might get more people. That is the first place I looked.

Hello Ladies. I just noticed that. I posted under my mothers name. I was over her house visiting earlier.

 

[TSNCS]

Anyone want to join in the stroller swap????? anyone????

 

[jody618]

Hi,
I have a friend who is interested in the dates of Sept 14th thru Sept 18th if available.

Thanks

 

[parith1114]

Sept. 14-18 is available however, you're friend would need to be willing to assemble the stroller and begin the swap. As long as she's o.k. with that we are o.k. with that. Have her pm me or you can pm me with her info. Do you know which resort she is staying at? I arrive on the 18th, but won't need the stroller until around 1pm or so. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I think what we would do is order the stroller only at about $15 a piece. Once we would get a few more to join I would start ordering accessories. I know at $15 each we probably wouldn't have enough money to pay for the stroller, shipping, and tax, but I would be willing to trust that we would continue to grow. I would pay out of pocket until we had enough to cover the full cost and once we reached that, order whatever else we think we might need. I realize this means the first few families may not have everything, but that's the most economical and fair way to do it. Any family would be more than welcome to bring their own items for the stroller and take them home or donate them to the swap. Here's hopping for more swappers!!!

 

[1luckymonkey]

If no one claims september 12-18th.. We would love to participate. We will be staying at the CBR. Thanks.

I am just checking in with my fellow swapers
Has there been more discussion on which stroller? I am really just trying to bump this up again...we were falling off page 1.

LOOKING FOR MORE TO JOIN OUR SWAP!!

with this link http://www.strollers.com the InSTEP - Suburban Safari 2008 Double Jogging Stroller is $189.95 with free shipping this seems to be the cheapest website for this stroller.

 

[TSNCS]

Yes, that is good with the free shipping. The jogging stroller store had a 53 dollar shipping charge.

OK! Stroller decided looks great to me any objections speak now....
As far as the accessories go we'll have to wait until we have more swappers. Be on the lookout for bargains on the sun shade or whatever else we might need. I will order once we have ten swappers. I will not give out my paypal address until then so I do not have to refund any money if things don't work out. It's a great way to save a lot of money and meet a fellow DISer, come on people you know you want to join.

 

[xrayvin]

here is the description for the stroller. The red color is very nice also!
I did look at the InSTEP - Safari TT Double Sport 2005 Stroller found on same website. It is the same price but I think the Suburban Safari is a slight bit better...check out the website and voice your opinions. http://www.strollers.com
