This is a great stroller. I use it jog a 3-5 miles a day. It is very easy to push. I have a two year old and a 4 month old and they both love the ride.
The basket can't hold much but i didn't buy it for shopping i have another stoller i take shopping with me.
The adjustable handle bar is great my husband is a lot taller then me so he can adust it and can push the kids also.
It is bulky when it is folded down but i haven't found a double stroller that isn't.
I would recommend this to anyone who is going to use it for excercise.

We bought this stroller for our trip to Disney with our 2 and 9 month old and was very pleased. It was mobile, easy to push, and the kids liked it. Fell asleep many times in it comfortably. A few reviews mentioned that the canopy wouldn't stay down/up--we found that it was just fine--there is only one position but it worked well for us. Make sure that your car will carry this though it folds up quite well but may be a bit bulky for a car.

I think this stroller is a great buy. It's half the cost of most double strollers and meets all my needs. My boys seem to be very comfortable in it. It closes and opens easily, is very lightweight and moves around smoothly. The downside of this stroller is the the straps don't adjust easily and the harness clip part is real cheap plastic so I worry that my fingers are going to get snapped into it or it might crack or break. The canopy is big but not very adjustable which isn't to bad, just requires me put a blanket on it and adjust it as needed.
Overall, I would definitely buy this stroller again.

This is the second double jogging stroller we have purchased, and the Free Wheeler 2 is far superior to the first one we bought. I cannot even remember the brand of the first one... I ran over it by accident (hahaha), so we needed a new one.
When we were shopping for the new jogging stroller we wanted it to: seat two comfortably (we have 1 year old twin boys), have an adjustable sun canopy, come equipped with some drink holders, have a small storage area underneath, and have a front swivel wheel. The Free Wheeler 2 has all of these things at a very reasonable price!
It is easy to fold up and unfold, has plenty of room for the boys, is safe, and very easy to steer. I also love the one bar foot brake on the back wheels - very convenient.
The only complaint is that the tires seem to lose air fairly quickly. I like the tires pretty full of air, because it makes steering easier.
We are definitely not joggers and only use this stroller for walks around the hood, but it does the trick and the twins really like it:)

This stroller arrived quickly and my husband said that it was easy to put together. The color is great - I wasn't thrilled about the color on the website photo, but it is really nice. This stroller is great - I have 3 other strollers and I love this one. It is easy to maneuver - I like the wheel to swivel, my husband likes it to be stable, so we each get what we prefer. It has a great sun shade that even has a full rain shade built into a zippered compartment. My husband and twins got caught in the pouring rain - my toddler twins were dry and my husband was drenched! Great Stroller. Just bring a little blanket and some clothespins - the sun can beat in the back of the stroller onto the babies' heads. I LOVE this stroller! It is heavy, but it is a double stroller. It is just fabulous. The basket on the bottom is useless, but that is okay.

This stroller has made my life so much easier. I am an avid runner/walker, and it so fun to take my kids along instead of rushing for a work out after work. I have a 10 month old and a two year old, so going to the mall was a night mare before this stroller. They love being seated side by side. The stroller is goodlooking and durable. It was so worth the money!

I searched and searched for a double jogging stroller. I am a mother of a 3 year old and 20 month old. I love to run and wanted to be able to take them with me on my runs as well as to the zoo or any other place where we would walk a lot. This stroller is fabulous. It turns on a dime and I love that you can also lock it into place(the stroller and front wheel). My kids love it. They are very comfortable. It's easy to fold up. Fits great in the back of our mini-van. My only complaint is I wish there was a better way to put my water bottle, keys, etc. I would definately recommend this stroller!

I bought this stroller as we have a 3 year old who want sto walk but is not able to keep up. I am able to push it singlehandedly and walk our 2 dogs with my other hand. It is extremely easy to set up and will fit in the trunk of my Honda Civic (very compact when folded down. I have recommended this to many frieds. It's lightweight adn durable. The basket underneath is not huge but it's large enough to store a couple bags and a diaper bag. The kids like it - they can recline easily and have both been able to sleep in it. The shade is large enough and also flips down to become a wind cover (we live by the lake so this is a must!). If you are looking for a doulbe stroller I recommend gonig the extra $$$ for this one over the basic Schwinn model - having the height adjustable and extra canopy is worth it!

I love this stroller! I wanted to spend the money on ONE VERSATILE stroller but that would hold two kids. I've had this stroller about a month and so far I have been very pleased. I have two toddler girls: a one-year-old who is very small/short for her age and a 2-year-old who is in the 90th percentile for her age. I put the stroller together myself (that would be MOM, the unhandy person); it was very easy and took minutes. The handlebar is adjustable. I assumed it would be one of those telescoping handlebars but it is not. It just kind of flips up for a taller person, or for someone shorter, you can flip it down more. The handlebar is very sturdy when locked in place though and has a soft grip. As far as using the stroller, both my kids fit nicely in it and they seem comfortable. They do sit reclined somewhat, but they don't seem to mind, they can still see everything fine. It pushes very nicely and doesn't veer, even with the weight difference between the two (12+ lbs.). I can literally push the stroller with my two kids in it with one finger. It absolutely turns on a dime - a feature I love! So far, I mostly take the kids for walks in this stroller. But, we live in the foothills of Calif. and our neighborhood is "hilly" with a couple flat stretches and it has been great. The only thing I wish this stroller had was a handbrake. I did a lot of research for double strollers and learned that basically, you can have EITHER a handbrake OR a swivel front wheel but not BOTH. I really wanted that swivel front wheel. The only one I could find with both was another brand that cost several hundred dollars more than this one, which I would have spent, except that it was a tandem stroller and I wanted a side-by-side stroller. This stroller does have the wrist strap though. The underneath storage on this stroller is a decent size. Fits my purse and a small diaper bag. I like that the backs of the kids seats have zipper storage areas for small snacks or whatever. I also notice the child seats have a version of cupholder not mentioned. Its really just a piece of canvas material looped to the side of each seat that will hold a sippy cup. Not really something my kids would be able to get their own cup back into but it is worth mentioning. Also, there is a parent console, which is also a canvas material. It has two small open compartments on top that would fit a cell phone and bottle of water, with a zipper pouch on the underneath side for a set of keys/money/ATM. The best feature of this stroller I think is that it has a built in rain/wind cover that was not mentioned. When you are not using it, the canopy (which is another great feature) unzips and the rain cover self-stores inside. Now, the canopy is huge and protects the kids from the sun. It has velcro straps that attach to the handlebar to help hold it in place better. I can undo the straps and flip the canopy forward more when we are facing the sun and it stays in place nicely. One thing worth mentioning too, when the canopy is fully open and upright (like in the picture) there is an inch or so between the handlebar and the canopy, which again hasn't been a problem, but in the rain, I may need to set a blanket or something there to keep water out. The kids sit a bit forward from this gap though so no direct rain would get on them. Then again, I won't be out in the rain if I can help it. The canopy has a little clear window on top that you can see the kids through. I just look through the gap between the handlebar! Now, I did recently have the oppotunity to take this stroller uptown to a local pharmacy. It fit through the single automated door fine as well as all the aisles. As far as storing this stroller, it is fine for us, we have Honda Pilot and just store it(wheels attached) right in the back with some room left over. I searched and searched, this is the best that I could find out there for both the features I wanted and the price. I would be willing to pay more, however, I saw great reviews on this one and didn't see why I needed to. I went back and forth about whether to give it a 4 or 5. The only reason I swayed was because I really wanted the handbrake! However, I decided to go with the 5 because it came with the attached rain cover and it wasn't mentioned in the listing - so it was an added bonus that put it over the top for me. Besides, based on its listed features and price, it has been better than expected and does deserve the 5!

We have a 4 month old and and 2 1/2 year old and they both ride comfortably and securely in this stroller. We don't really jog with them in this, but we do hike and walk on some fairly rugged paths and the stroller performs perfectly. It is SO easy to push and steer - we simply love it. I researched strollers for literally 5 months before deciding this stroller was the best mix of features/quality/value. I feel very very good about this decision and really love the stroller. You can easily spend a lot more on a stroller, but I would sure question your "bang-for-the-buck" if you feel you need something more expensive than this stroller. I'm as picky as they get and this stroller is awesome!

I use this stroller daily for both walking and jogging. My children are comfortable in it and it is comfortable to push. It is pretty light weight (for a double jog stroller). I love the weather shield that is built in to the canopy!! Just unzip it and pull it out. Another bonus is the adjustable handle. It moves up and down to accommodate users of different height. The only thing that could be added is a lock to keep it folded. I made my own out of black nylon strapping and a plastic buckle.

My wife loves this stroller and all of the kids seem to enjoy riding in it as well. It is strong, light weight and easy to maneuver. The only thing I would recommend is to remove the tires and put in an inner lining around the rims and putting tire goop in the tubes to prevent punctures. The tires are very wide and seem to attract many puncture type weeds.

I have two boys, ages 2 and 3 1/2. They are both big for their ages, so my husband and I wanted a stroller that we knew they would be comfortable in. Based on all the ratings, this stoller looked the best and we were right! Our boys love riding in it while we go running. It's durable and I love being able to unlock the front wheel to make it easier to push when we aren't running. It's bulky, but I haven't seen a double stroller that isn't.

I am so pleased with this stroller! It's great for all terrains and it rides so smoothly over bumps. My boys love it too. Seems very comfortable, although they can't really sit straight up, but doesn't seem to be a problem. The height adjustable handle and front swivel wheel is really what sold it for me! This is the only double jogger with both of these features at this time. The parent console and storage space are great too, plenty of space! I did my research and it paid off. There is no need for a regular double stroller. This stroller goes walking through the park, around the nieghborhood, jogging and shopping at the mall! Although you will need enough trunk space to store it. **Please use the tether strap around your wrist! Jogging strollers WILL RUN AWAY from you**

I did alot of research and was not willing to spend [$] on a double jog stroller. This stroller is great - my 9 mo. and 4 yr old sons both love riding in it. Both are tall and heavy for their age and the stroller pushes nicely. The front wheel has the optional lock making an easy transition to trail jogging or strolling in the neighborhood. My husband said it was easy to put together and I find it easy to collapse - it is large but what double jog stroller isnt - it fits in the mini-van and SUV without a problem. My husband is 6'6" and likes the adjustable handle. I eccho the other complaints that I learned of in other postings - parent tray is not large enough, the bottom basket is a little flimsy, the sun canapy (because it is not for each child)gapes when extended, and the seats dont sit forward enough in the upmost position. The last item is not terribly bothersome because the kids "sink in" but my 4 y.o. often pops up to talk to me. I would highly recommend this stroller and would buy it again (especially at the price) - no regrets.

The mobility of this stroller is great with the pivoting front wheel. It's light weight is also a great attribute. I use this stroller daily on our 5-acre property which includes going over rough and bumpy off road terrain. We go for walks on the road and when going down hill with two kids in the stroller I am not pulled down the hill like I was with our previous stroller. I was slighly worried without the front break but this has not been an issue. I love the adjustable handle bar option. The deep seats and reclined backs are adjustable by tying a knot in the strap behind the seat. Also the narrow base makes it possible to move through doors and areas I did not expect.

This stroller is okay for walking, but not that great for running. I have a toddler and newborn and because of the difference in weight the stroller pulls to one side and makes it difficult to steer. The recline on the seats is not that great either. The seats don't sit completely upright, which is fine for my newborn, but not so great for my toddler.

Bottom Line:

I use this stroller almost daily to go walking or light jogging. My old double stroller was a graco that was wonderful, but died after 13 years of heavy use! This stroller is lightweight, easily fits in the back of my minivan, and has great adjustable straps. I push my 2 year old boy and 4 year old girl in it. My 7 year old (who is small) can fit in it as well. I have to put a blanket or pillow behind the girls' heads because the seat back doesn't go up high enough, however there is plenty of head room. That is why I chose this stroller in part. It pushes like a dream and I love the lock or swivel wheel for versatility. It seems well balanced as I can lift it over curbs easily. My kids really like it and say it is a keeper. The only thing I don't like about it is that the slant of the seat is hard on my toddler's legs. His legs are not long enough to reach the foot rest, so they just dangle and I think probably causes them to tingle. If we go on a longer walk he starts to pull his feet up and place them on the seat, on his sister's lap, or hangs one over the outside edge. I am going to try and make a modification and build a little footrest for him! I reviewed strollers for a long time looking for a tall enough one for my older children and this one was the best of the bunch. Even the pricey Bob and Dreamer Design ones we looked at would have been too short for their heads. There is one dreamer design that was fantastic for fit for them, but it didn't have a swivel wheel. After reviewing so many strollers, I am surprised someone hasn't manufactured the 'perfect' stroller!

This stroller handles so well. My children and I enjoy going for walks with it. I was surprised by how easily the stowing and set-up is. It is compact enough that it actually fits into the trunk of my Hyundai. That's right, you don't HAVE to own a Mini Van to enjoy such an awesome stroller. Granted you won't be able to fit much else in your trunk besides, but that is a small price to pay for such comfort and durability!

Children are still infants, so I don't know how it will work as they get older and heavier (and try to adjust seating out of recline position)- but right now it is great! We are very satisfied. Biggest downfall is that the seating accomodates infants, but the seatbelts do not. Overall, it is a good value and we are happy with it.

I am really pleased with this stroller. It pushes easy and the swivel wheel is great. I take long walks with my 2 year old and my 5 year old. My 5yr is about 41 inches and she fits nice. Her legs don't hang over nor do they get scrunched up. I did a lot of looking for a double stroller and this is the best one and very affordable. I wish I got one earlier. I have not had to pack it up and travel yet, I may need a little help lifting it in the trunk. I am not even sure if it will fit in the trunk. I have the cup storage that keeps my water and radio. The under storage on it is okay, the sides should be higher. I am worried things will fall out when I go. Otherwise a really nice stroller.

 
Great Stroller
By Family of 4Verified Purchaser from Fairfax, VA on 8/6/2007
Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Easily Stowed, Easy to Set Up, Lightweight, Sturdy
Cons:
Seats don't sit up enough
Best Uses:

Overall, this stroller is great! The one thing that could be improved is the upright position of the seats...even in their most upright position, they are still reclined a bit. That is our only complaint so far!

This stroller is great, my only regret is I didn't buy it sooner. The only funtion I wish worked better is the adjustable canopy. The idea is great that it moves, but it doesn't click into place when moved forward. Otherwise this stroller is the best one for doubles on the market and I did my research, especially for the price.

 
My research paid off
By Dewey's mamaVerified Purchaser from Old Bridge, NJ on 7/29/2007

I did a lot of research before picking out a double stroller. I have an 11 month old and a 2 1/2 year old. This one is the best stroller out there. Pros: It fits through all doorways I've encountered so far. Plenty of room for my two wiggle worms to sit and not bother each other. I know some people felt the seats didn't sit upright enough for their kids to look around, but I think they are fine. Love the ability to recline the seats independently. Very easy to push and steer. We take it to the mall and trail hiking with no problem. Basket underneath holds a surprising amount.
Cons: It is a bit heavy and can be a bit rough to fit into the trunk, but that is a problem you'll run into with any double stroller. No tray bar means no cups holders at the kid's level, but solved by buying add-ons (must buy another brand b/c Schwinn doesn't sell them). When the shade is down it does cover the kids but there is a bit of a gap in the back by the handle bar. This can be fixed by a blanket or your own shadow. My only real complaint is the lack of a lock or way to fasten it in the closed position like most single strollers. Bottom line: I love this stroller and you can't get anything better for the price.

I really love this stroller, you can push and steer with one finger .. the only con to me is that the stroller is a bit big. It takes up most of the space in my volvo xc90 suv, but then again it is a double stroller so you can't expect it to be to lil.
one other small thing is the brake bar does seem to drop down but it doesn't slow it down, meaning it doesn't lock on you it just sags a lil bit..
overall , awesome stroller highly rec.

 
Great double stroller for a great price

Works well for walks or while running. Very smooth ride with a large sun shade. The product has good storage and folds up well for such a large item. Cons include a sun shade that does not stay down/forward and seat position for the kids is heavily relined (the plus side is that the kids stay put).

The stroller was easy to put together and has been a joy to use ever since. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to buy it. It works at the mall, for walks, at amusement parks---everywhere! My kids love riding in it too. They will even ask to go for a ride. It pushes so easy, and the kids are comfy. The only pitfall would be the seats could sit up straighter when not reclined. That is a minimal complaint since the kids have never complained about it. There is plenty of storage. I use it for a 4year old and a 2year old, but would use it for an infant as well since it reclines. It folds up well and fits in the trunk of my van with some room to spare. Overall, it was an excellent purchase.

Very nice double stroller, exactly what we were looking for. So easy to maneuver with the swivel wheel. Fits in our 2001 Honda Accord's trunk along with 3 large bags. We use it primarily for daily 3 mile walks on chip sealed country road. Our 2mo old and 2yr old both seem comfortable and safe in it. Great sunshade although there is a couple inch gap between handle bar and sunshade so if sun is behind us, will shine on babies head.

I have had three jogger strollers in the past 2 years that range in price from $100.00-350.00 and this is the best one I've ever seen and used. I have not seen this model in the store, otherwise I would have purchased it long ago. My baby and toddler sit comfortably next to each other without touching(the seats are built up between them)My baby has even napped on long walks/runs and the sun canopy is fantastic, you can angle it so your kids are never in the sun.

This stroller works very well for our infant twins. It is safe and sturdy. We use it for all of our outdoor events and always get compliments on how sharp it looks. The big sun shade is a huge bonus because you can put it in any position to block out sun or wind.

We LOVE this stroller. Our twins are now 4 months old and have been using the stroller for about a 1 1/2 months now. They love it! We live on a dirt road and also go camping often and it works great on any surface. It protects them from the elements like sun, rain and wind. The stroller also has more than enough storage for mommy! I like that the seats are each adjustable. I also like the swivel front wheel....makes for easy turning. The only downfall that I can even think of is when the stroller is folded, it's a bit hard to handle and put into a vehicle. I am able to get it into the trunk of my mid-sized car but nothing else can fit when the stroller is in there. I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone! The stroller is great and the price is even better!

Love how it rides. Love the amt. of storage. Fantastic stoller with one exception. It can be uncomfortable for my three-year-old, because her head rests on the covered metal rod that outlines her seat. She is at the perfect height where her head rest on it. I need to put a blanket or sweatshirt there to pad the area for her head to rest comfortably. Not sure what they were thinking when they designed that part.

 
Schwinn Double Sports Stroller
By Nikki from SA, Aust on 6/8/2007

Love this pram, steers so nicely, and kids love it! Have baby and Toddler and they both sit lovely together.. So much better than the Tandem. Going for jogs is like a dream.. Even able to take to shops. Back a little wide, though fits through supermarket isles.. Only draw back is have to use express or wheel chair check outs to exit shop!! This certainly is a dream pram for any mum with two kids! Love the sports pocket for wallet, keys, drinks ect. Two big pockets behind seat and large open carry basket beneath! A+

 
Love this stroller
By Molly from Greensboro, NC on 5/20/2007

I love this stroller as do both my kids! They are 27 months and 7 months and we have had this stroller for a couple months now. It folds up quite well which was a huge surprise. It navigates almost any terrian. I love the front swivel wheel. The only thing I don't like, and the reason I didn't score this a 5, is because the canopy doesn't always stay put. I love that I can move it all the way forward, but if it won't stay then it is useless. Overall this is a wonderful stroller and you can't beat the price!!!

 
Great stroller for a great price
By Emily from St. Louis, MO on 5/16/2007

This stroller is a great value for the price. It is lightweight and maneuvers extremely well. It is well balanced to accomodate my kids (almost 3 year old and 8 month old). The canopy is large and provides a good amount of shade. The handlebar can be adjusted to accomodate both me (5'3") and my husband (5'11").

Some areas needing improvement are the canopy (it does not want to stay out if it is really windy because there is no "lock" on it), the back support (there isn't a lot of back support, especially since the seat recline is adjusted by a strap and buckle) and the seat's positioning (the kids have a hard time seeing out from the position the seats are in even when fully "upright").

Overall, this stroller is well worth the price. We got it in mid-April and have been using it several times a week since then.

This stroller is great for light jogging and for walks around the neighborhood and the park. We love it and would recommend it to anyone.

 
Great baby jogger
By julieanna72 from Beaufort SC on 5/13/2007

I absolutely love this jogger. It's easy to put together, and easy to use. My kids love it as well. The seats are nicely padded and it has a great sunshade. It has a nice carrier for drinks, keys and cell phone. I do wish the basket at the bottom was reinforced a little better but it does hold a lot. My favorite features are the swiveling front wheel which makes for amazing maneuverability and the adjustable handle bar. Overall a great product. I would recommend it to anyone!

 
Great Stroller
By Ms Bell from Raleigh, NC on 4/9/2007

This stoller is very lightweight and easy to manuever.
I have two larger children and they fit nicely in the stroller. This is great for walks around the neighborhood without too much effort.

 
this is a great stroller
By mrs.renna from tallahassee fl on 4/6/2007

this is a great stroller. it is so easy to push. i have used it in grass, on sidewalks, on trails in the woods, it rolls through everything. my kids love it.

 
Awesome, great price, but some downfalls
By Loren from Houston, Tx on 4/3/2007

After looking and looking for a double jogger that wasn't $500, had a decent shade, drink holder (no purchase)and good storage, I finally found it. For us, we live in a SUNNY, HOT place, so I needed a shade that actually DOES shade, and this DEFINITELY does. I like that I can lower it directly in front of the kids, for those morning and evening walks. It fits inside standard doorways and I LOVE the swivel wheel. A MUST for a me, as I don't like the jogger ones with a stationary wheel because I had to pick the front wheel up when turning, even the slightest little turn.
The Cons:
- The EXTREME recline position. My toddler is very laid back, so she doesn't mind so much, plus a folded towel in the back helps.
- The shade has a gap above their heads, which gets sun on my infant. A small blanket helps with that, or just making a shadow out of my body helps too.
- The fold up is easy, but no handles. Also, it is a bit big folded, which may be the case with any others
In all, we LOVE it

Great Value
By Sara from Kansas City on 3/23/2007

We searched for a double jogger that met all of our needs and wasn't over $300. This stroller fit the bill! We've been very happy with it so far. It arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble.

This stroller has a nice smooth ride and is very easy for both my husband and I to push. The basket and pockets on the back of the seat are nice and the soft parent tray is fine. I can fit my keys, phone, and a bottle of water no problem. The sunshade is huge! My only complaint about it is that it doesn't "lock" when folded out.

As mentioned in the other reviews, the seats are at a weird angle. We put a few dish towels under our 2 1/2 year old's seat and he's pretty comfy in it, though. Our baby (3 months now) actually fits great. I imagine when she's older it will be hard for her to get comfy without some towels under the seat, though.

Overall, a really great value. Sure, the $700 double joggers are nice, but I'd rather save my $400 and use this one. It does the job!

Awesome srtoller
By Amber from Mesa, Arizona on 3/12/2007

I had a Combi tandem stroller and I did not like it at all. The Schwinn stroller has everything I wanted that the other stroller did not have. I especially like that both seats lie down. I love how smooth it rides because of the shock absorbers. Best of all, I can loose weight without trying to find a babysitter. My girls get to go outside and get some fresh air. I highly recommend this stroller.

 
SISE BY SIDE TWIN STROLLER
By DONNA FLOWER from NEW ORLEANS, LA on 3/9/2007

LOVE IT! DID RESEARCH TO FIND A TWIN STROLLER WITH A FRONT SWIVAL WHEEL AT A GOOD PRICE & FOUND THE SCHWINN. IT'S A BIT BULKY TO THROW IN A CAR BUT IT CAN BE DONE. IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT.

 
Great stroller!
By Double Happy Mama from Port Angeles, WA on 2/26/2007

This stroller meets all of our expectations! It's great for around town and travel. We love the way it steers and handles curbs and bumps. If I could improve one thing about this stroller, I would design it so the kids could sit up a bit more. My kids WILLINGLY and HAPPILY sit in the stroller, which is a huge improvement when they were in single strollers.

 
Mrs.
By Vargas from Riverside,CA on 12/28/2006

This stroller is great. It is a little wide to go through doors but it makes it. It turns great, and is very sturdy. I like the fact that you can lower each seat individually. My boys fall asleep in it a lot.

 
Overall Great for Outdoors
By Robby Bolyard from Dayton, Virginia on 10/30/2006

Overall a great product for outdoor use. Seats recline to far back even in the most upright position. Hard to maneuver in tight spaces such as shopping ailes, rear wheel base wide. Outdoors maneuvers great, swivel front wheel very nice feature. Rolls nicely, appears to be durable.
