Tike Tech The Tike Tech Double Trouble All Terrain Double Jogging Stroller's wheel base is the narrowest of any side-by-side double jogging stroller we carry; the 30-inch width means that the Double Trouble is one of the rare doubles that can fit through most doorways. While there might not be many doorways in the great outdoors, which is where this stroller is most at home, there are plenty of narrow trails. Tike Tech's all-terrain extra-wide track tires and rugged, mountain bike-esque construction make their strollers a favorite among outdoor-lovers who like to take their little ones off of the paved and beaten paths. With a major overhaul in 2004, only one feature change was made for 2005. The adjustable height handle bar was replaced with a fixed handlebar. Many customers mentioned that they liked the stroller but did not like the flex feel in the adjustable handle bar, and was in some cases reported to slip when the stroller was weighted with 2 children. The new fixed rigid ""No Flex"" handlebar has alleviated this issue. Harness 5 Point Recline Multiple Full Recline No Child Capacity 2 Maximum Weight Capacity 100 lbs. Stroller Weight 26.5 lbs.

I use it daily and it has held up great so far, no broken parts and nothing. We currently live in Europe and use the stroller to negotiate farm trails, cobblestone pavement and hilly terrain; it is great in snowy and muddy weather when a regular stroller wouldn't even get you out of the driveway. The stroller is very easy to push. I am 5'8"" and this is the only stroller I have where I don't have to bend forward to hold the handle bar. It is somewhat bulky to store in the car, so it is not ideal for running errands, for that I have a smaller stroller. My daughter started to feel comfortable in this stroller at around 6 months without any additional support as she was sliding forward when she was younger, so I used a lambskin; a foam wedge would probably do as well. This is a great stroller and I will get Tike Tech's double stroller now that my second child is on the way. We love this stroller! We take this stroller for runs out on the country and walks in our neighborhood. It does well on any surface. Our 16 month old daughter loves to ride in this stroller so much she gets excited every time she sees it out. Easy to push, folds up easy. The brakes did have to be adjusted a couple of times but it was not a problem. I purchased this stroller about 4 months ago. One of my good friends up in Canada had one and she just loved it. So, we decided to purchase one as well. It is durable, light and easy to push. This stroller looks super and most importantly our son just loves riding in it. Living in Boston we needed a stroller that could handle the snowy winters. This stroller with the wide wheels and cover performed perfectly when pushing in the snow. My husband and I were confused about one part of the assembly and contacted tike tech for help. I am not sure what SBK is talking about, but I can say that tike tech's customer service is among the best we have ever received. They were responsive, knowledgeable and very polite. After we read SBK'S review we felt we needed to write a review of our own. This is a nice stroller so far, and easy to put together. It is a little hard to attach and reattach the front wheel for collapsing it and putting it in our minivan. The brake is on the front wheel which doesn't make a lot of sense so we don't use it. It would make more sense to be on the back wheels. Otherwise, we are happy with it. |
