Double Jogger Recs

[af1212]

Can someone recommend a double jogger besides the BOB? We bought the BOB only to find out that my daughter is too tall and hits her head in it!

TIA!

We have the BJ City Elite single jogger. I like it and one of the reasons I picked it over the Bob is taller seats.

Thanks for the rec. Do you run with it? When I looked on their website it says "Not intended for jogging".

My husband runs with my daughter at least 3 times a week currently, and we would love for him to be able to take both girls when my little one is old enough.

I have a Mountain Buggy double that has been great... But admittedly I'm not much of a runner but I believe others run with it

Hmmm ... the reviews I read say the Mountain Buggy is not great for running either. Looks like a cool stroller though!

I love my Bumbleride Indy twin.

We have a single Bumbleride flite that we love! But the Bumbleride site says the Indie and Indie Twin are not jogging strollers either This is so frustrating!

I use our double burley bike trailer.

It has a swivel front wheel that locks, and when I bought it, it was definitely sold as a jogger. I do run with it, but nothing crazy, just three miles or so. But maybe that is a difference between a single and a double model. All baby joggers have taller seats though, and from what I have seen they definitely make some jogger models. They even have a triple jogger for heavens sake. Kill me now.

So I've looked more into the Baby Jogger, and they only have 1 stroller (the FIT) that they label as good for running. It also appears as though they have discontinued the double BJ City Elite Have you ever used the BJCE in a 5K or anything similar? They have some good deals on the discontinued models but I want to make sure my husband will be able to use it for what he wants.

Did they discontinue the Summit? This is a true jogger and they have a double.

According to their facebook page the double summit has been discontinued and they are planning to release a new double this spring. I found a few old summit doubles online and it looks to be close to what we are looking for.

Do you mind if I ask a few questions? How tall is your tallest kid that rides with you? My daughter is 38" tall right now, and we would like to use this stroller for a while. Also, how large is it when folded? We have a Honda Fit, and the BOB fit just fine in our back if we removed the front wheel.

Thanks for your help!

DS is 42 inches and is fine in the city elite. His head bumps the sun shade, but the seat itself is high enough, and i think you can move the sunshade up and down, and even take it off completely. Yes, I have used it for 5k length running. It is completely and totally fine, and even came with a wrist strap for running with it.

She was 37 inches at her last appt in Nov. she has plenty of room left. We haven't used it in a whole but I plan on it this spring\summer.

I have the single so not sure how the double will fit.

Thanks! This is so encouraging. The Baby Jogger website is horrible, so it's nice to hear from real users. We're going to Buy Buy Baby this weekend to try them out.

Thanks again!
