ran about 6 miles today, in the POURING rain. girls stayed dry and comfy, singing songs and watching ducks and geese play in the water. i was drenched by the time we got home! this stroller was an investment, but after today i'm starting to think it was well worth the money
(retails for $460 - we knocked off $100 with our rei discount, another $40 with our actual dividends, and are selling the old stroller for $100...do its not quite such a painful purchase
).
things i love so far: the kids were dry, the rain shield adjusted easily and stayed put even with ella kicking at it. the rain shield didn't RIP like the two i went through on the other jogger. it tracks wonderfully
(and adjusts easily if and when the tracking goes out of alignment again
). even though its heavier than my old double
(29 lbs instead of 26
), it didn't feel heavier at all, just the opposite
(maybe it was just my enthusiasm
). it was nice to know that i could park it in the garage with wet parts and not have to worry about anything starting to rust
(like the wheels on our baby jogger did
). i also love that the sun canopy goes down so far over my two red-headed children. the more sun protection the better, i say, and the old stroller didn't have any! so, only 11 miles on it so far, but so far, so good!
things i don't like: today, running in the rain, i loved the fact that it was YELLOW. yesterday, when i walked to the store and back, i felt a bit like i felt riding in a hummer limo at my brother in law's wedding
