Mine was given to me from a friend who hated it, barely used it. I just used it temporarily until I could save up enough for a nice jogging stroller. I couldn't wait to get rid of it. It's bulky/heavy, which I can deal with but steering it is a pain. When it comes to turning it is a nightmare!

Ughhh that's how my Safety 1st was too!! I was so confused because I thought joggers were supposed to be easier to steer.

I bought the baby trend plus and we have used it a couple times since we got rid of DS's big stroller and sometimes need more then an umbrella stroller and so far we love it. I looked at a lot of different strollers and different reviews before making my purchase and this was the one I liked the best. I alway do ton's or research and look at a million reviews of things before I make my decision on something like that. They are big and bulky but that is to be expected when it is a double stroller. It is actually only a couple inches taller and wider then my single stroller was so it takes up about the same amount of room. The only problem I have with it is that I have a hard time getting it to collapse but it is already getting easier it's just because it is new. And it works great for DS who is very tall for his age in his old stroller he would rub his feet on the wheels and with this one he leaves them on the foot rest because he would have to stretch to reach the wheels.

I would love one of the nicer more expensive ones, but since I left my husband and can't find a job I am living off of my savings and have to go as cheap as possible. I'm going to see if I can find a store around here to go and try out some strollers. My mom said I should get a Graco stroller, but I need one that will accommodate my Evenflo car seat.

Quoting shes*almost*one!:" you might want to try one out before buying. they're awful, and heavy. i know i just said i wouldnt ... [snip!] ... smurfed was so cheap feeling ($200 too!!!) and hard to push and my kids were tiny (5 pound newborn, and 24 pound 2 year old)"

I can't stand my bumbleride queen b. It's so gigantic and a pain to maneuver.

Quoting shes*almost*one!:" how many kids ;// ages? whats your budget"

1 newborn due in feb.
my twins would scream bloody murder if I put them in one.

I'd like to stay around $300 but I'd go to $500 if it was the business lol, and it has to have a carseat
