Anyone have any experience to share with double jogging strollers? I have two toddlers right now, and I'm looking to get back into running. We currently have a Graco Duo Glider, which is fine for our usual walks, but for jogging, I'm obviously going to need something else. I'll be using it five days a week, for a few miles a day. We're planning to spend under $200, and I've seen quite a few models in that price range, so I'd love to hear some suggestions from you all.
Thank you!

I purchased a double jogger from Babies R Us several years ago and love it. I too have a Duo Glider which is great for the mall where I don't want a really wide stroller. But for outside the jogger is fantastic.
I really wish I had invested in a jogger where the front wheel rotates. Mine doesn't and so you have to lean it back onto its back wheels to turn. This isn't a big deal when I'm walking but it breaks your pace if you're running.
Hope you find one you enjoy.

Hi Celeste,
I have a Schwinn double jogger and I LOVE it! I don't know the model or style right now but I can look at it tomorrow if you'd like. It has the front swivel wheel, the seats each recline individually, is lightweight, has a retractable canopy with a clear window underneath so you can peak on the kids without pulling back the canopy, and the fabric cleans up well. Every single person that has pushed it has said, "What a great stroller!" Every single one! I currently use it for my 16 mo. old and 3 year old.

I have this Double Safari Stroller by Instep, and I've been quite happy with it. I wish I'd got it before my fourth baby! It is so easy to push (it has the swivel front wheel). We live in a very hilly area, and it makes pushing two children uphill a breeze (well, maybe not a breeze, but much easier than a regular stroller).

Yes, Mary, I would love if you would check the model for me--this sounds like a great option.

Thanks for this suggestion also, Lisa. We don't live in a hilly area, but it's all residential, and going up and down the curbs with the Duo Glider is killing me! So even though I'm interested in using it for running in particular, I imagine it will be a great help for just walking too!
