Baby Jogger 2008 Performance 20″ Double Stroller Review

peachy — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 17:09:01 +0000

When you have a baby, a stroller is a very important item that you should have. This is because you do not have any one to wait on you hand and foot. Plus, there are tasks to do and responsibilities to take care of. You are the only person who can take care of those things. This is why you need a stroller like the Baby Jogger 2008 Performance 20″ Double Stroller to assist you.

Think of it this way: the stroller is an extra set of arms that will carry your baby when you need to run errands. There is no need to worry though because you are the one with the stroller so you know how your child is faring.

V-Brake
Rear shocks
Frame: aluminum
5-point safety harness
Storage compartment

Hand brake

All in one piece
Creating a stroller that is only in one piece is very difficult but Baby Jogger has been able to accomplish this feat. At present, this is only one in the market that offers such.

What is good about a one-piece frame is that it does not have any joints or any hinges which basically means that these points would not weaken. So the whole stroller remains strong throughout use.

Pushing with wheels
One of the great features that this stroller has is its wheels. They all measure 20 inches each. And they have been designed to be easy to push so you can walk faster (or maybe even run if you choose to).

Comfort for baby
The whole unit has been designed to be sleek and has been crafted with the idea of aerodynamics integrated in it. The manufacturer has even added a system that would absorb any shocks.

With that, this means that baby is totally comfortable and would enjoy each ride that he (or she) would be having with this.

Combi Twin Savvy LX Side by Side Double Stroller Review

peachy — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:49:24 +0000

In the United States, one of the most popular brands in the baby and child section is Combi US. Its mother is from Japan which also creates the same products that it has in the US. Its roots date back to 1989 and it has gone from being a beginner to being a strong contender in the market.

Combi stands for ‘combination’ and it is in reference to the things that both a child and a mother need. With that, the products under this brand are safe for both babies and adults. They are also comfortable to use.

Combi Twin Savvy LX Side by Side Double Stroller Specifications:

Dimension: 28 x 32 x 39 inches
Weight: 22 pounds
lightweight
Tri-fold design

Double the comfort
This stroller offers double comfort for parents with twins or with two infants. Armed with a design that is easy and quick to fold, this product has a very light weight for a double stroller.

It can accommodate babies up to double its weight. The two seat can be reclined independently from each other. The seats are made of from microfiber. They also make use of mesh fabrics that allow the skin to breathe. These can be easily removed so you can wash them.

Extras
The guardrail has removable snack and cupholders. Now that should be a refreshing deal after a long walk with your kids.

Comfortable ride
For smooth and quiet rides, the wheels are equipped with suspensions. Plus, it also has swivel wheels in the front so you can easily maneuver this baby ride.

All these features plus its classis design makes this product a must buy for couples who want to mix size with quality.

Like a car with power steering, the stroller can be guided smoothly and there’s no problem with the maneuvering.

In the company of the other
With the twin stroller, babies can sit together inside so they could enjoy each other’s company. The independently reclining seats are a wonder.

Now I don’t have to divide my attention to them even if one is sleeping and the other one is awake. The seat can also be reclined horizontally so that it’s just like they are sleeping in a bed.

Design and style
The look is modern and sleek, not the bulky and ugly strollers I used to use. It’s so compact I had no difficulty maneuvering through doors and corners. It’s also easy to fold and store.

Small basket, shallow cupholder
The basket it comes with is not very big and there not much you can put inside it. If you pack heavy, this stroller is not for you. The cupholder is very shallow that it’s very difficult to put a cup in it.

Combi Twin Savvy LX Side by Side Double Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

light in weight
stylish design
made for two babies
easy to maneuver

Cons:

basket is too small
cupholder is too shallow

This stroller is highly recommended to everyone despite its minor problems. And, yes, these are minor problems – you still can take full advantage of the features of this baby ride.

Combi Counterpart 2 Stroller Review

peachy — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 16:46:54 +0000

Combi US is the top brand in the juvenile products industry in the United States. It is a subsidiary of Combi Corporation of Japan which is a worldwide leader in the juvenile products industry. Established in 1989, Combi US has been making top of the line baby products and has never wavered in its commitment in establishing a healthy living environment for babies.

Its name is short for “combination” which means a product that is a combination of the needs of mother and child. It provides safe and baby-friendly products for the comfort not only of the child but of the parents as well.

Combi Counterpart 2 Stroller Specifications:

Weight: 26 pounds
Dimensions: 47″ x 21″ x 42″
Carrying Capacity: 80 pounds
Price: $159.99
can be opened with one hand
can carry two children

Lightweight
This is a lightweight tandem stroller. It is compatible with a single connection infant seat.

Easy life
One of its distinguishing features is the presence of the center swivel wheels that enables you to easily maneuver the stroller. It is also equipped with a 5-point harness and a removable kid’s tray for snacks and drinks in front seating position.

It also has a cup holder for the parent’s convenience. The stroller comes with an expandable basket for large storage.

It also includes infant boots, and a large footrest for comfort. It is also equipped with a shock absorber for the infant’s riding convenience. There is also a cupholder for the parent’s convenience.

For people on-the-go
This tandem does what it’s supposed to do. It’s so light even my child could carry it. It’s portable it can fit in the car compartment easily with room to spare.

Durable
It’s durable, we’ve been using it for 2 years already and so far nothing’s been broken. The presence of a third wheel at the center works wonders in the steering of the stroller.

The presence of an expandable basket lets you put as many things as you can in the basket without having to compromise the capacity at it can carry up to 80 pounds.

Seating
The front seat is small and doesn’t recline much but the back seat fully compensates for this. Although it has a shock absorber, after few months of use, you begin to hear a banging sound at the wheels when it hits a bump. I think the shock absorbers are not that durable.

Combi Counterpart 2 Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

durable as a whole
light
can carry two children
comes with extra accessories

Cons:

shock absorbers are not that durable
front seat is small

Despite its problems, this stroller is still a good buy. If you think your child can live with the small seat in front and the banging sound each time there is a bump, then go for this one.

Combi City Savvy All Weather Stroller Review

peachy — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:44:34 +0000

Its name is short for “combination” which means a combination of mother and child. It provides safe and baby-friendly products for the comfort not only of the child but of the parents as well. One of its top products is the Combi City Savvy All Weather Stroller.

Combi City Savvy All Weather Stroller Specifications:

Product Dimensions: 36.8 x 13.8 x 8 inches
Weight: 16.8 pounds
frame made from aluminum, thus lightweight
can carry babies from birth until they are 45 lbs. in weight

Light yet sturdy
This is one of Combi’s top products. It is made up of a lightweight and portable aluminum frame. It has a Connection Infant Car Seat/Carrier compatibility that lets you transfer your child to the car with ease.

Since I bought this stroller 3 months ago, it has done nothing but impress me. It’s so light that sometimes I think my child can even carry this one on his own.

Extra, extra
The stroller is equipped with an infant boot, infant head pillow, and travel bag for the child’s utmost comfort. A cover is also present to protect the infant from rain and sun. This is-to-collapse stroller is also built to last long.

This stroller makes use of its “all weather” description to the fullest. It is equipped with a weather boot that zips easily onto the seat and it also has a rain cover that isn’t only for protection from the rain but from the sun as well.

The reclining seat is also an additional feature that ensures comfort for the baby.

Navigation made easy
It is very easy to navigate especially around tough corners. It’s like a car with power steering.

Some difficulties
I had difficulty collapsing the stroller at first but I realized I just have to get used to it. The basket it is equipped with is quite small for a stroller this size.

There is also difficulty in adjusting the shoulder straps. Although there is a cup holder, it can’t really hold a cup as it is very unstable.

Combi City Savvy All Weather Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

light
sturdy
comes with extra accessories to keep baby safe and comfortable
easy to navigate

Cons:

folding it can be difficult at first
cup holder does not really support cups that well

I recommend that you get this one because it brings ultimate comfort to the infant. Forget about the difficulty in collapsing it or the shoulder straps, these are just minor problems you can live with.

peachy — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:42:45 +0000

The Chicco brand is a part of the Artsana Group, a global leader in the manufacture of children’s products since 1946. The Chicco brand itself was established by Artsana founder Pietro Catelli in 1958 to cater to the growing needs of the “baby boom” generation.

Catelli founded this brand based on product quality, brand identity and the power of communications. With Chicco products like the Chicco C6 Stroller, your children are in good hands.

Chicco C6 Stroller Specifications:

Dimensions: 33.5 x 19 x 39 inches
Weight: 12.8 pounds
Price: $79.99
seats recline in two positions
has 5-point safety harness

Light in weight
This lightweight stroller is one of Chicco’s top products. As its name suggests, it has a very light aluminum build. Yet do not let this fool you as it is sturdy.

Its lightweight is also a plus as you don’t have difficulty carrying this wherever you go. The frame is sturdy and you can easily fold this. Because it has a two dimensional folding mechanism, the collapsed stroller can fit easily in the trunk of my car. It’s even smaller than a golf club.

Comfort, security
This product also brings about comfort and security through its 2-position reclining seat and 5-point safety harness. The presence of a front suspension makes rough terrains smooth so that your infant will be smooth sailing when you go hiking in the woods.

A little extras on the side
It is equipped with a compact umbrella that you easily fold. You also get a carry bag and shoulder carry strap to make travel a breeze. There is also a basket where you can put your baby accessories and perhaps some of your things.

The sunshade is very flexible. This means that you can adjust the shade according to whatever angle the sun is hitting the stroller.

Brake location
I don’t like the brakes being located at the two rear wheels. They are stiff and you have to give it a little stomp before they are locked down. You also have to tug extra hard to release the brakes.

Not reclined at all
Although it reclines, it doesn’t recline much. If you are taller than 5’8”, don’t buy this stroller.

You can develop a back problem. The problem is in order to move the stroller, you have to stoop so for down just to touch the handles.

Chicco C6 Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

light in weight
sturdy
comes with extra accessories like a bag, canopy, and umbrella
sunshade is flexible

Cons:

brakes are stiff
not for tall people as handle is too low

It may be light, has many good features but at the same time it has defective brakes and is too small for tall people to make use of.

BOB 2009 Sport Utility Stroller Review

peachy — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:40:48 +0000

BOB (Beast of Burden) is the foremost company in the world when it comes to jogging, running and off-road strollers. Founded in 1991 by bicycle maven Roger Malinowski and airline mechanic Philip Novotny, BOB has since built these highly innovative strollers that are fitness oriented.

BOB has grown into one of a few elite jogging stroller brands that offers fitness minded parents a running stroller with outstanding performance, top quality materials and innovative accessories. Along its product line is the BOB 2009 Sport Utility Stroller.

BOB 2009 Sport Utility Stroller Specifications:

Weight: 20 pounds
Weight capacity: 70 pounds
Price: $299.00
adjustable shock absorbers
compact

Keeping fit with baby
This sporty stroller is a one-of-a-kind stroller. It lets you walk and jog with your children over different kinds of terrain which is something that you do not get from other strollers.

How? The secret is in the stroller’s frame design and its relatively big polymer wheels which measure 16 inches.

Its 3 inch suspension distributes evenly the weight of the infant for a comfortable jog or stroll. Its features also enable it to navigate fairly easily through curbs, uneven sidewalks, supermarket aisles and unpaved trails.

No problem with storage
This stroller can also be folded fairly easily and when folded can be easily stored in a vehicle’s trunk. For other units, a parent usually has to have both hands free to fold a stroller and stash it in the trunk.

No problem with weight
This stroller is really light – lighter than the previous stroller I bought. It is very easy to fold up and what’s even better is that you can easily remove the wheel after folding for additional compactness. Now that is something to look forward to as this does not happen that often with strollers.

The suspension is excellent as you here no creaking sounds coming from the wheels. The storage on this stroller is also great. Another great feature it the large canopy it comes with.

No freebies for parents
The only negative thing I can say about this is it doesn’t come with a cupholder but you could buy one separately.

BOB 2009 Sport Utility Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

light in weight but it can carry even a baby that weighs 70 pounds
easy to fold and store
can fit inside your car’s truck
excellent suspension
comes with a basket for storage of you and your baby’s stuff while walking or jogging

Cons:

no cupholder

If you have already seen this stroller in action and you think that it is a dream, then go for it. Now if it is the lack of a cupholder that is holding you back, go ahead and get yourself a cupholder. This type of stroller just does not happen that often.

BOB 2009 Revolution 12″ AW Duallie Stroller Review

peachy — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:38:37 +0000

BOB (Beast of Burden) is the popular company in the entire world when it comes to strollers made for jogging, off-road, and running. It was founded in 1991 by bicycle maven Roger Malinowski and airline mechanic Philip Novotny.

BOB has since built these highly innovative strollers that are fitness oriented. From the very first few models that the company has built, it has now grown into a company that now provides parents a stroller that will be able to keep up with physical activities that others just cannot.

BOB 2009 Revolution 12″ AW Duallie Stroller Specifications:

Weight: 40 pounds
Weight Capacity: 70 pounds
Price: $589.00
Wheels: 12 inches, spoked
seat can recline up to 70°

Maneuvering is easy
This is a cutting-edge product that is one of the first to make use of the swiveling front wheel for optimum maneuvering. With this feature, it can steer around tight corners, narrow aisles, and cramped elevators with ease.

This model does a very good job of maneuvering through uneven sidewalks. It also turns better than the BOB Rev 16”.

Rides are smooth
It is equipped with a state-of-the-art suspension system for ultra smooth rides. The suspension system also works fine so that jogs are usually quiet. The foot brake is very easy to use and keeps the stroller securely in place.

For those on-the-go
It has a fast two step fold up design for maximum portability. It also has the ability to lock out front wheels for bumpy roads. The seats reline up to a 70 degree angle.

It folds easily and when it is folded it is very compact. It fits right into the trunk of my car with plenty of room to spare.

The reclining problem
The seats are poorly designed as my child slumps on the seat. It doesn’t recline properly.

Small basket
Although there is a basket underneath, it’s very small and you can only put a handful of items in there. It’s also a little bit pricy.

BOB 2009 Revolution 12″ AW Duallie Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

provides a smooth and comfortable ride
has a fine suspension system
seats recline up to 70°

Cons:

pricey
child slumps because the recline feature does not work that well

Overall, this is a great buy. It steers excellently. It folds easily into a very compact shape. Although it’s a bit expensive, it is all worth the benefits.

It is armed with a foot-activated break and a five point safety harness that goes to show that this Sit N Stand is safety oriented. This is a very important aspect and parents are especially looking for this.

It is also equipped with a large storage basket underneath that lets the parent carry a large assortment of things of the children (and maybe even their own stuff) wherever you go. It also has removable canopies that are weather friendly.

User-friendly
This product is more user friendly than the previous stroller I bought. It provides three options for the older child, first, he can sit on the back seat, second, he can sit on the jump seat or third, he can stand on the platform.

Comfortable
This stroller can easily be steered and collapses easily. It can fit to doors and entranceways without any difficulty. The seats are soft and comfy and I don’t hear any complaint from my children.

The bad
The only things negative about this stroller is the seat sometimes stays reclined and when the stroller is folded, it doesn’t stand up on its own.

Graco MetroLite Stroller Review

peachy — Sat, 29 May 2010 16:07:57 +0000

A stroller that weighs only 17 pounds, this Graco MetroLite Stroller is already complete with the features of a much bulkier and heavier stroller. It is designed with a system for suspension that will smoothen out thuds and thumps. Plus it can also be set almost entirely flat for the baby to lie down.

Graco MetroLite Stroller Specifications:

equipped with handlebars that can be adjusted accordingly
with a basket underneath for storage
with a compartment especially for parent’s use
with a child food tray

Lightweight and Durable
The frame of this stroller is made from aluminum thus making it very lightweight compared to other strollers, but is still durable as the aluminum bars are welded together.

Consoles for Parent and Child
If the child has a revolving tray for his or her food and drinks, the parent too has a tray for where to place drinking cups or keys. There is also a large-sized basket under the seat where baby supplies can be stored.

Ease of Use
With just one hand, the parent can easily fold this stroller prior to storage plus a latch to secure it.

Handle and Canopy
The handle bars may be adjusted as per baby’s height. The canopy is something like a peek-a-boo aid to take a look at the baby from time to time. This canopy is also useful in keeping away elements that may harm the baby.

Seat or Recline
The stroller can so be set up in whatever position for the baby’s comfort, either sitting down or reclining.

Lock-able Wheels
The wheels at the front may be locked and secured especially on a rough terrain. The tires are not ever to go flat as it is not filled with air

Graco MetroLite Stroller At A Glance…

Pros:

a cost effective alternative, car seat and stroller in one
light yet has the essential stroller features
an effective system of tires that makes bumps to be smoothened
the stroller itself can be adjusted in three varying positions for seating and reclining the baby
trays are very useful for both parent and baby supplies.

Cons:

Some strollers were recalled due to latch malfunctioning that can make the stroller to collapse, Graco offered repair kits for strollers that have not functioned perfectly.

The only problem that we have with this stroller was the fact that there were units that were recalled. However, there has been a solution to that problem as Graco has brought in back up to make sure that all babies are safe and parents satisfied.

The stroller has a fixed position mesh seat, comfortable for children’s seating. It also easy to clean as a sponge clean will make it dirt-free again. This umbrella stroller can be easily folded and maneuvered without sweat.

This kind of stroller is very convenient, especially for a tall person because there is no need for kicking the wheels, no straining back leaning over the unit while pushing the stroller. It is also designed with foam grip handles that are high, which enables easy pushing without bending to reach.
