When Eliana was about a year old I purchased a jogging stroller from my friend Jodi. Boy did she give me a great deal. We got a ton of use out of that stroller. Unfortunately about 6 months after purchasing it we found out we were expecting Elias. So after Elias was born we sold the stroller in a garage sale. Now that I'm taking up jogging again, I'm on the quest for the perfect jogging stroller for me & the kids. I've looked on Craigs list, nothing.
I've looked on line & found several but they are rather pricey. I mean seriously have you seen the BOB double jogging strollers. For $700 the stroller out to run for me. I'm sure they are worth every penny, but, unless BOB wants to donate one to me in exchange for me to review it for them, (thought I'd throw that in just in case anyone from BOB is scouring blogs in search of someone to bless with a wonderful jogging stroller to review) that is way more pennies than I have to spend.
I've seen a couple in the reasonable price range. One stroller I was considering had mostly favorable reviews but several purchasers complained about the tires not holding air & going flat on runs. Uh to me that is a problem. I don't want to be 3 miles from home & have to push my 2 children (with a combined weight of 60#) back in a stroller that weighs 35# by itself and that has flat tires. Admittedly that would be a great workout though.
The one pictured on the right is an In Step Flash Fixed Wheel Double jogging stroller. This is the one that I'm leaning towards. I just want to wait a bit & see if by some miracle someone posts one similar to Craig's List in the next week or so. If not I'll have to buy a brand new one. Which means saving my allowance for several weeks. But it will be well worth it once Spring arrives and me & the kids can get out & enjoy more easily. Spring is coming right?So the quest continues.
