| maturin's Full Review: Baby Jogger Twinner II Stroller |
I have two sons who are four and two. When our younger was about eight months old, we bought a Twinner II direct from Baby Jogger. (We also have a Zipper single stroller.) It has been excellent. Our kids are both very big (the four year old weighs almost 50 pounds, and the two year old weighs almost 35) and the stroller has never seemed overtaxed.
Our stroller has 16" wheels and the fixed canopy. It comes standard with a handbrake and two large mesh carrying pockets that are big enough for toys, sippy cups, keys, etc. Everything on the stroller is very high quality. It assembles easily, though it will not break down to a very compact size. (We have a Volvo wagon, and the collapsed stroller will JUST fit in the back. I don't imagine it would fit easily in very many trunks.) With the large wheels and high handle, I can easily take a full running stride while pushing this stroller.
The only real complaint I have about the stroller is the canopy design. The canopy consists of a wire frame and a piece of fabric that attaches with Velcro tabs. The problem is that it cannot be adjusted, and attaches at the top to the stroller's handle. This causes two problems: if the sun is low in the sky and you are heading toward it, it shines in the kids' eyes, and it is very hard to see and talk to the kids with the canopy in place. I would love it if this stroller had an adjustable canopy like the one on the Zipper.
A final tip: this was an overstock that we bought straight from the company for about $350, with canopy. This is about $200 off retail. The only downside to this is that the stroller seat is electric blue and the canopy is bright pink. For $200, though, we'll put up with it. I encourage buyers to call Baby Jogger and see if they this kind of deal available.
