Double Jogging stroller

[tiggger1]

I tried searching but came up empty. Can anyone recommend a double jogging stroller that have a nice shade and a front swivel wheel...We are going to Disney in Oct and it will be me, hubby, dd5 and ds 18months. My dd has this thing with strollers and really likes to sit and chill in them so we really need a double.. We are staying at the cabins so we are trying to find something that isnt a monster for the buses and the boat

I love love love my Dreamer Design Ditto. I've taken it to Disney a couple of times. It wasn't bad getting on the plane or monorail, etc. I didn't even have to fold it down on the monorail or boat. It's exactly the width of a wheelchair. In fact, in my town I can fit it through any door that I want, which is rare for a double jogger.

It has two separate shades, a basket underneath and lots of storage in the back of the seats. It also separately reclines. I bought it off of ebay through a place that was trying to clearance last year's models. I'm not sure the what most recent one is like, but I'm sure it's similar.

Check out www.joggingstroller.com and you can probably find comparisons, etc.

I have a dreamer design Manhattan (single) and really loved it on our last trip to WDW. So easy to push and it has a great canopy! (one of the best.) It's kind of a beast but I really didn't have any issues with it on our last trip. You can see their strollers on www.dreamerdesign.net. I got ours off ebay for quite a bit less than they sell for retail. I would recommend their strollers.

The other stroller I was considering was the Baby Jogger City - those look like they fold up easier (the DDM has a two hand fold but it's not difficult) but they cost more than I wanted to pay. Plus my ds is four so that is another reason I didn't want to invest a ton of money into another stroller that will mainly be used at WDW.

I just bought the brand-new Baby Jogger City Mini Double. You can search for it on Amazon.com.

My dh and I absolutely love it! It moves and turns like no stroller I have ever seen . . . effortless. It is narrow enough to fit through a standard doorway, yet has a total weight capacity of 100 pounds. The City Mini Double weighs around 25 pounds . . . very light for a double stroller. It features extremely nice canopies that adjust to various levels, and would protect the child from everything but a driving rain/snowstorm.

After four kids, I can vouch for the fact that there truly is no such thing as the perfect stroller. The downsides to this one are:

~it doesn't come with a parent cup/key holder. However, you can order one from the company that attaches with velcro.

~the storage baskets are fairly limited

~although the stroller folds easily in half, it doesn't have a latch to stay closed. So I think it would be a pain to frequently pull this in and out of your car trunk. It's bulky but not especially heavy. We leave ours set-up and near our front door for neighborhood walks.

I've just come up with all the negatives I can think of. But don't get me wrong - this is probably the best stroller we've ever had, over 17 years of parenting.

HTH,

We took our Dreamer jogger to Disney many times and loved it!! Our front wheel did not swivel and it was not easy to fold, but otherwise we loved it in Disney. However, we were ready for a new one, so I just bought the Baby Jogger City Series Double and it looks wonderful!! It has swivel front wheels and is the one-step fold system. We are taking it to Disney in a couple months and can't wait. Look on the official Baby Jogger site if you're interested in seeing how the jogger works.
