Pacific Cycle Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogger

We have owned this stroller for a little over a year and have taken it EVERYWHERE! We have 3 children, ages 9 months, 2 and 4 (and one on the way)! I researched for many months before purchasing this model, and have no regrets!PROS1) pushes sooooo easy! We have had all 3 children on this thing at one time (short-term and NOT JOGGING, of course) in different configurations and it has moved like a dream!2) fits each of my kids well and they are of average size3) fits through every doorway since we have owned it4) shock absorbers make for a nice ride for the kids on bumpy terrain5) doesn't get dirty easily...the fabric is durable and our stroller still looks new after a year of nearly daily use!6) "lambskin" inserts for infants are easily removable and reversible (and washable!)depending upon what season it is!7) 3 words: adjustable. sun. shades. NICE!8) maneuvers on sand fine (we have taken to the beach) just lock the front wheel and/or pull backwards. great in the snow, too, for those treks to the best sledding hills! (of course, the snow can't be too deep!)9) travels well--we have checked it at the airline gate twice when travelling x-country and it held up great!10)love the open/close snack tray for easy in/out11)safety straps are comfortable, adjustable and durable!12) it folds up nicely (yes, it is a bit bulky and heavy when storing; however but it IS a double stroller and MUCH lighter than other doubles we have owned) and it fits beautifully in the back of our minivan.13) there's plenty of ways to haul extra stuff on it if you don't have enough room underneath...we've hung beach chairs and a beach umbrella, winter coats and sleds across the top of the sunshades, extra bags, a potty, a cooler--YES with children strapped in and it STILL pushes easy14) we have received many compliments on it as well--very stylish!!15) the handlebar has a silicone(?) covering on it right where you place your hands so that it's not too cold in the winter16) the adjustable handlebar is handy for adults or the child who wants to help push!A few CONS:1)the carrier underneath drags and nearly made a hole...we fixed the problem by lifting it up with a luggage strap which does not interfere with folding and storing.2)you must remember to recline the seats fully before folding or it will not fold/close properly...after a year it comes naturally for us to do so now ;-)3)key holder/box to store things between the cupholder is not big enough to hold my iphone, but I just place the phone in a cupholder (there are plenty of those to go around)4)the two separate foot brakes are a bit annoying....would prefer a single bar foot brake, but they work well and are trustworthy!5) the speakers are worthless, but also not necessary for an enjoyable ride!Overall, we are very pleased with this stroller and anticipate getting quite a few more years out of it!

this was our 5th, yes fifth double jogger purchase. My kids are 2 1/2 years and 11 months. I haven't been pleased with many double joggers, but I have to say, this one is a pleasant surprise.the perks:-REMOTE swivel/lock the front wheel control. um. this is amazing. you won't find this anywhere else in a double. We do have it on our single expedition by baby trend (who didn't put the same feature on their double.. which was one that we purchased and returned)-overall quality of material. The tires are BIG. the frame is nice. the fabric is not cheap feeling.-parent console. sorry. I'm not terribly impressed with it. the plastic pocket with a lid is super cheap and not deep at all. the cup holders are nice bc of the rubber inserts, but not big. as I said we had the double expedition by baby trend and it's parent console was much better. but still.. a perk nonetheless as they are hard to come by... why I have no idea.-width. It can fit through standard doorways.-completely separate kid seats separated by a metal bar. thank you schwinn.-sun shades. separate sun shades that pull forward to adjust to any level of sun. I like to keep the shade tilted forward quite a bit so I can easily see both kids' entire bodies.-adjustable handle bar. nice touch. still not high enough for my 6'5" husband, but a significant improvement compared to the other strollers we have purchased.-kid trays. also nice touch. positioning not a huge problem for us. my 11 month old uses it as a foot rest at times :)-surprisingly smooth ride for the size. shock absorption is good. easy maneuvering.the drawbacks:-overall large and kind of clunky feel. probably bc of all the 'extras' which is worth it I suppose.-no break bar. separate red push break buttons on each wheel.-no pockets behind seats. self explanatory.-seat positioning/head room/foot room for toddlers. the seat is literally on top of the very small triangle platform, if you look closely at the picture you can see this. my 2 1/2 year old is in the 80th or 90th percentile for height but I seriously see other 2 year olds that are bigger than him all the time. when sitting in the left seat, his right leg can fully extend but reaches the very tip of the triangle platform. his left leg has nowhere to go but hang off or be tucked under his right, or sit at an angle with both taking over the platform. also his head towers over the top of the lambskin and seat back. the sun shades are nicely arched though, so he has a few inches before hitting the top. however, nowhere to rest his head for sure. I docked 1 star for this as it could be a deal breaker for many families. I mean, how much longer can my 2 year old be comfortable? If he is pleasant on walks, I would love to be able to take him with us for another year at least. with this stroller I just don't see that happening.neutral comments:-there is a hard insert in the bottom of the under seat storage baskets. I suppose this is nicer than a mesh basket, but doesn't seem to make a big difference to us.-speaker quality is EXTREMELY low. I read comments on this, however I was still surprised at how poor they are. I was expecting them to be like the double expedition by baby trend, but they are much much worse. I can actually see hot glue all over the speakers connecting the wiring. it should be kind of embarrassing for them to even include these. they look like they cost about $0.50 to make. however, I still use them for my 2 1/2 year old who absolutely loves music. I have the ipod on full volume and I still cannot hear what song he is listening to, but he can hear it bc it is literally inches away from his ear.-the lambskin is soft and removable for washing purposes.-the windows in the sun shade are small, but this isn't a huge problem as you can easily tip the sun shade forward and see everything you want.overall:I really am pleasantly surprised with this double jogger. This really might be the perfect double jogger for you if your kids are between the ages of 0 and 24 months. maybe perfect for twins!*side note - we ended up purchasing a used baby jogger city elite from craigslist for $400. we are pleased with it in every way except the lack of remote swivel/lock control and the sun shades. It really does seem like in the double jogger world that you get what you pay for.
