Looks like I am going to BRU. With my old Graco double stroller (I got when DD was first born) trade in the Jeep stroller is just a bit more and will be brand new.

Heck yeah.

I'd rather drive the hour, than to pay the same price for the Jeep...there must be SOME kid friendly "thing" you can do near the seller for your effort...LOL

I emailed them, waiting on a response.

We are going to Fremont for the fair, I would like to be sure I like it though before pushing it around for hours. Depending on their location it may be on the way. (Though DH & my Dad will throw a fit having to stop to buy something, lol)

Is it really that good? Better than the Zapp? Good for off road?

I have no doubt that Baby Jogger is better, but same here - it's quite a drive unless you're already going there.

I agree go with a swivel wheel. I LOVE our BOB but it's the Revolution not the fixed wheel (SUS.)

I've owned a Zapp and although I LOVED it I definitely wouldn't say it's for rough terrain.

I emailed so we will see.

If they are in Fremont MAYBE they could meet me around the fair, I wouldn't get to try the stroller out before hand but IDK.

Calideedle, absolutely POSITIVELY get that Baby Jogger. Drive the hour, it's worth it.

I would get the Baby Jogger in a heartbeat over the others (even if I had to drive an hour!)

In a pinch it will work. Not over sticks or gravel, but it will push fine on grass, dirt, etc.. I'm thinking if her Festival grounds are like ours, the Quinny would do just fine.

The Zapp has been considered an all-terrain stroller in the past. :shrug:

Yes! Especially if you get tired of wearing DS2, you can lower the seat and put him in the back and DD can still ride. The 75 pound weight limit is SO worth it.

Another vote for the BJ, the tires on the "6 month new Jeep" looked balding! Unless of course this is close ( http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bab/1366472769.html ) or you can swing by and get this ( http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bab/1359794884.html ) I can think of nothing Nothing NOTHING I'd personally evjoy pushing around more than the Mountain Buggy

Thanks for all the help everyone!

After talking with the BJ lady it would be around 1.5hrs there then 1.5hrs back It just wasn't worth it to me. Especially since I am not a stroller person and will most likely only use it for these upcoming "Knight" Fairs for DS1. Plus DS2 is awful in the car, there is noway he would stand for that.

I turned in a 5yr old $5 umbrella stroller (Gma bought it when DS1 was a baby to walk with him, never happened, lol) I found in my Dad's garage to BRU and bought the Jeep stroller which was on clearance. Dh just put it together & I love it ... not enough to use it anymore than a fair or zoo trip but it will suit my needs.

Thanks again! I never knew there were so many stroller options! My head has been spinning all day.
