I'm trying to decide between two double jogging strollers:
this one Schwinn: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/schwinn_2007_free_runner_st_2_stroller.htm

or the Baby Jogger:
The Deuce Quality Light Weight Double Jogging Stroller

I live in REALLY rocky, rough terrain....it will be used for my two girls...maybe not running (but it would be nice if i could get some flat ground!) but some heavy duty terrain.

I am open to others. but it has to be less than $300 (the baby jogger one I have found for $270! am I silly to even consider NOT getting it?). We have a single Tike Tek and we love it.

I'm trying to deciden within the next two days

are you wanting new?

Our Craigslist is FULL of double joggers with front fixed wheels, for a GREAT price. Just a thought.

GREAT question. I would LOVE to get one used. I've been searching Craigslist for a city in Texas, where a friend of mine will be coming from to visit me this month. Trick is...I live in Central America....and used means I would have to ask my friend (on top of lugging an awkward size box) to find a way to box it...lug it up to her apartment...etc.... So there is something very handy about having it in a box already...etc... I am open to easy ways of boxing! thanks for the idea....if i could make it work....

So, do you want a fixed front wheel or a swivel/lock?

fixed...and big. because the terrain is so rocky...the bigger the wheel...i feel the smoother the ride.

oh i'm jealous!! i have to spend $100 in getting our stroller to us...so that limits us a bit. I made a decision! I got that was neither one! ha!

I got a Tike Tech double stroller. We have the single...and really like it...so....we thought we would just up size where did you find the Bob for such a good price?

Craigslist. I never would have expected to find such a sweet deal. We're picking it up this evening, and I'm sure we'll wind up taking it for a walk tonight!

I hope you like your new stroller! Our single was a Baby Trend. It worked, but it was just not as good. I'm going to sell it, I guess.
