Outstaning Double Stroller

| We bought this stroller when our oldest two children were 2 1/2 and about 6 months old. At first we thought the price was very steep, however, once we received it and realized how amazing the stroller was, we knew it was worth every penny. This stroller is by far the easiest stroller I've ever experienced. It literally feels like it's "driving" itself. I love the fact that I can lock the front wheels and use it as a jogger and as a regular stroller which, when unlocked, turns on a dime. It's also very easy to fold up. It fits through every doorway and amazingly the two seats have plenty of room for the kids (even now at ages 4 and 2 1/2). Underneath storage is great too. We've taken this stroller everywhere with us. It is a bit heavy, but all jogging strollers are. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend this stroller. |
I'm really not one to splurge on such a thing but it was SO worth it!

I am seriously frugal by nature but very willing to spend money on quality items that are NEEDED. In my case a double is necessary. I have a 5 month old son and a 10 month old daughter and each fit great and seem quite comfy.
The ease of folding this stroller amazes people. Took me a few days though to get the front wheels consistently in the right direction so it would fold in its flattest position to fit in my trunk. I have a Ford Taurus and it fits great, not tons of room for other things and I have to put the stroller away then pack things around it but that isn't terrible.
I love that each side reclines independently and that I can do diaper changes now without having to locate a bathroom. I can even keep a couple diapers (cloth) for each tucked into the netting on the backside while it is folded in my trunk. Makes is easier to load and go.
This stroller handles so well I even manage grocery shopping with both babies and a cart with no problems. It can be controlled easily one handed when necessary. |
Love it!!

| This is the best double stroller I've seen yet. For once the kids don't have to be laying almost completely flat like most doubles. And the feet have plenty of room to come down to be comfy. Also love the sun shades, they come down far enough to block almost every sun angle. The push bar is adjustable, which is great depending on if i'm walking or running. It doesn't have much room in the undercarriage. Also don't like that you have to buy all the accessories such as the belly bar, the child tray, and a parent console. All those things add up to another $100. But I love the stroller, plenty of room for both kids and it's a smooth ride. |
YES.

Yes, it is worth every penny. This thing is easy to maneuvre, lightweight (for a double), easy to clean, easy to fold and put in the car, fits through normal doorways, is great off-road (like trails, not just dirt roads or anything), and yes - you can run with it. I am in love with it. We don't normally throw this kind of money around, but for a decent stroller - this is the answer. Now it's so easy to throw both the kids in and go. We have a 4 mo old who does absolutely fine with his reclined a little, and a 3.5 year old who has plenty of room to grow.
All I would mention is - notice there are no breaks, you've got to hang on tight going downhill! And, the storage basket is a little shallow - sometimes I am carrying the diaper bag. Walks to the park, jogging.. not an issue. Definitely not deal-breakers though, I would recommend this stroller in a heartbeat. |
Really nice double

| Was looking for a double stroller to take on vacation to the beach, to use on the boardwalk and so on. Considered the City Mini, but with the recall it was back ordered, so had to look at other models. SO glad I got this one instead. It is a bigger stroller than the City Mini, but well worth the weight!! One thing we love it that my husband is 6'3" and it is the FIRST stroller he can comfortably push due to the adjustable handle position. I have a 4 year old & a 10 mo. old & they both seem to enjoy it. On the boardwalk everyone was actually begging to push it. Even my 68 year old mother who has arthritis. She dosent like to push it up hills, but REALLY enjoys pushing it on level surfaces. It is a pleasure to push. Were not runners, but I can imagine it would be amazing for that. Kind a takes up a lot of room in the back of my SUV, but wouldnt go shopping without it. Warning...it is heavy to load. Great storage, and seat straps are really easy to adjust too! Sun canopies are HUGE, love that! Even with the girls weight diffrences it still pushes evenly. Love the air tires, creates a nice cushion. Very worth the price. Well made, not flimsy at all. Solid. |
Great Buy!

| What an excellent stroller! I have had it over a month now and use it every other day. It's a smooth ride for the kids and very easy to push and steer for myself on our sidewalks which are very uneven and old (historic neighborhood). The seats are very deep so i know my almost 3 yo will be able to use this for as long as I own it. My 3 mo son usually sleeps soundly the entire time in it. It is very heavy so wait to buy if you have had a c-section or have someone help you. Worth every cent! |
Awesome Double Stroller

| I haven't used my City Classic too many times since the winter weather is setting in, but so far, I love it!! I can steer with one hand and no wrist pain whatsoever. My new baby isn't here yet, but I take my 20 month old and my lazy pug out in it. My son can sit up and has his own sun shade while the dog's side is fully reclined with the shade up. The shades are great too because it will go almost to the edge of the seat if you detach it at the top. The handlebar is hugely adjustable and comfortable for me (5ft) and my husband (6'1"). My diaper bag easily fits in the basket (which is removable)and there are some pockets on the seat backs, but I bought the Baby Jogger parent tray which is much more practical and offers a ton more space. The ride is very smooth and I will easily be able to do slow jogs with this stroller. The best part is that it folds up really easily and it fits in the back of my Nissan Versa without having to put the seats down or take the wheels off. Nothing else will fit back there with it, but that's ok. My one complaint is that it doesn't have any kind of strap to lock it into place when it is folded up. Our Baby Jogger bike trailer does, and I am not sure why they didn't include this feature on the stroller. |
sweet ride

If you are looking for a slim double stroller this is a great one to get. A little heavy yes, but the easy quick fold makes up for that for sure. In an instant I can have it folded up and put in the back of my car. It manuvers well and the ride is so smooth. I was looking at a Valco and Bumbleride as well (all less than 30 inches wide), but for the price this one was the best option. I especilly LOVE how the shades come down so low, the seats recline just about all the way down for naps, and that it has extra storage on the back of the seats. Overall, it is the perfect double stroller for me and my needs. It is great for walks anywhere and I love taking it on outings and trips. Just wish is came with a cup holder for me and for the kids. That would make it PERECT!
**My oldest is almost three and tall and has PLENTY of room**
From what I understand Baby Jogger isn't making the city classic anymore though...glad I got mine in time! |
good double stroller

I've done thorough research on double strollers. I wanted something for our daily walks. NOT shopping. The reasons I got this one instead of the cheaper kind are:
individual shade for each seat
adjustable handle bar
and it FITS through doors!!!
durable
I wanted something that will last at least 2 yrs or more. I was undecided for sometime between InStep, Bob, and Baby Jogger. InStep's shade is not good and it doesn't fit through our door. That just sucks. And Bob is a couple pounds heavier than Baby Jogger and a couple hundred dollars more too. So far I like our double stroller. I enjoy going for walks and so does our little girls (2 yrs old and almost 6mo old).
