Overall Happy With Stroller I wanted to post a review because when I was researching double jogger strollers, I really appreciated people who left their comments. There are so many out there, it can be a little overwhelming when deciding what to get.
My story is: I have a 3 year old and 15 month old. I just wanted to walk in the neighborhood to get fresh air and get out of the house. I don't run..just walk...so keep that in mind when reading this review.
What I like about this stroller:
1. LOVE the basket underneath...pleanty of room for diapers, cooler for sippy cups, etc.
2. rides smooth for the kids
3. easy to push, don't feel the weight of the kids at all
4. was easy to assemble. i did need help with the front wheel, which my husband ended up putting on for me.
5. in my price range. i just couldn't bring myself to pay a house mortgage payment for the nicer models..i was seriously considering the BABY JOGGER CITY ELITE TWIN STROLLER but couldn't stomach the almost $500 price tag.
What I am neutral about:
1. parent tray was ok. it does the job but mine came with a netted cup holders. i guess with a double jogger stroller, it's hard to get a hard parent tray.
2. seats for the kids are ok. they probably have enough cushion but it's one of those things where i've read worse and i've read better about other stroller seats.
What I didn't like:
1. the shade cover doesn't quite do the job, but you can buy another shade cover to go on top of it. i really wanted a stroller that had 2 seperate shades but just couldn't find one in my price range.
2. no sippy cup holder for the kids
So overall, for my needs, this stroller does the job. For me, I wanted a jogger stroller with a large basket underneath and adequate shade cover. I had to compromise with the shade cover but was able to remedy that problem.
Hope this helps anyone researching double jogger strollers!

Light Support, Maximum Comfort Though I really liked Bravado! bras for my nursing my first baby, I decided to try these with my second. The fabric is very soft, stretchy and comfortable and washes well. The packaging for this one says you can put it in the dryer and so far (4 months) it's faired well. It's great for sleeping in during the early weeks when you really need something to hold yourself and the breastpads in. But if you're over a B or C cup, it's probably not your best choice for daywear except around the house. Try Medelas other bras for that. If your at the top end of the range for your size, go ahead and get the next size up as they do run a little small.
soft, but plastic This was one of those "duh" moments for me- velour is a type of polyester... so, while the top layer of this material may be organic cotton, it's backing is a plastic (not organic!). Very soft and cozy, however!
BASSINET SIZE!! I give this 2 stars simply because the product is supposed to be organic cotton, but since I can't use it, I can't say how it has worked out.
When I looked at this listing, I foolishly assumed it was a crib mattress size pad. It doesn't say in the heading that it is bassinet size. Not until you scroll half way down the page to 'Product Details' does it say or give any size dimensions. I must have missed that before I ordered. I would urge Amazon to have this product's heading changed to include the words 'bassinet size' or 'bassinet pad'. Or at least move the product details UP closer to the top of the page instead having us scroll past unrelated stuff making us think we've come to the end of the product's description. Even at check out there was NO mention of size to help the buyer be sure they had the correct product.
I passed the pad on to a second hand store as a donation. I could have contacted Amazon about the mistake, but since the information technically IS there & I just didn't see it, I chose to eat the cost.
