If you’re like me, having the ability to take your two little ones outside to exercise keeps you and the kids sane! My double jogging stroller offers just that for me. In the new Forum here at Nature For Kids I mentioned on the “Gear” section that unfortunately my jogger is difficult to maneuver because the front wheel is locked in place. I literally have to lean over the handle bar and pop a wheelie to turn a corner. When I was pushing along one child in my single jogger it wasn’t really an issue but now that I’ve added width by getting the double jogger and about 25 more lbs. because of the extra child it’s difficult.
I think a front wheel that swiveled would solve this issue. A contributor on the forum mentioned the BOB (Sport Utility Stroller). I’ve heard of them before and looked into them a little further. BOB actually has a double jogging stroller called the Revolution Duallie that has a front swivel wheel with a lockout feature. This feature allows you to lock the wheel for faster, longer runs or leave unlocked for walks or slow jogs with lots of corners or bumpy terrain.
After heavy use, the front wheel on most strollers becomes misaligned making it gradually veer left or right. The Bob strollers are made with a tracking mechanism that allows you to correct this by turning a small knob near the front wheel. Pretty dandy huh!
And here’s a bonus, all BOB strollers have a five-year warranty on the frame and one year on small parts and fabric.
Hmm…Well as I go about my quest for a new stroller that will grace each of our outdoor adventures I’ll keep you updated. Next I will look into the “Chariot Carrier“.
