Bottom line: I highly recommend this jogging stroller. It is significantly less expensive than some of the well-known big-name joggers but it works beautifully. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this jogger over the more expensive options.Longer Review:I did a ton of research between this Joovy double stroller and basically every other double jogging available online. I have friends who were pushing hard for the top-of-the-line super-expensive joggers but I was hesitant because of the price. There were also some cheap joggers that had bad reviews on durability, etc. Both of my kids are big, heavy, and pretty wild so I wanted something tough and reliable.I took a chance on this stroller when it didn't have many reviews and I could not be happier. My wife and I are both avid runners and have trained with this thing almost daily for over a year now. Right away I was amazed at how incredibly light this thing is. It's like pushing air. Note: I mean the stroller itself, the kids are still super heavy but that just makes the training better :). I had an old single-jogger that was significantly heavier than this. Running with the Joovy Zoom was a dream, night-and-day compared to the old single jogger. I also found it very easy to maneuver (I leave the front wheel unlocked, but see my notes below). I push this with one hand and leave the other free. Only time I need two hands is for a big hill or heavy wind. The handle height works well for both of us, I'm 6'1'' she's 5'4''.Some random notes. First, it doesn't come with a front bar with cup rests, etc. This is really my only disappointment. But it's a small complaint, the kids can put cups in the mesh pockets next to them. I would love it if it had a lap bar with cupholders though.Second, with the kids I'm running about 10 minute miles. I leave the wheel unlocked which gives me lots of maneuverability, and I find it stays stable at that speed. If I pick it up to 9 minute miles or faster the front wheel can start to wobble like crazy. At fast speeds you really need to lock the wheel which does reduce maneuvering. My recommendation is to lift the front wheel right off the ground if you need to make a tight turn while it is locked.Third, this stroller doesn't work well for very tight spaces like squeezing through small doorways. Should be fine at, say, a shopping mall. We've replaced all our other strollers with this one since it works for everything except infant seats (and we're past that stage) and we don't really use it inside small stores.Fourth, some reviews mentioned the brake falling down or being loose. I didn't run into this issue but I can see how it would happen. There are a pair of bolts that hold the brake bar up and if they got loose I could see the brake bar dropping into the wheels and causing the brake to engage. I haven't tried, but replacing or tightening those bolts should fix the issue.Final random notes: The sun covers are HUGE and can almost cocoon the kids entirely if you fully extend them, so lots of coverage. They do lack a back window for seeing inside though. The parent tray can fall off if you don't hook it on well or if you overfill it, but I've only run into that once. There is a safety strap for your wrist so the stroller can't roll away if you fall, love that feature.

I did a lot of research on which double jogging stroller to get, as I have 10 month old twins. After literally months of research, I settled on the Joovy Zoom X2 as MY birthday present & I am not disappointed at all.First of all; this fits in the trunk of my 06 Chevy Malibu, which is a HUGE plus and probably the biggest selling point. (We do have to take the awnings off, which is no big deal at all, they just snap in & out super easily)I am so happy with how easy it in to navigate. I can use one hand and push this thing everywhere. The strap is great as a backup.Front wheel locks and unlocks easily. Back wheels are a quick disconnect. One hand fold & unfold is incredible.We took this through a disc golf course that was made of pea gravel that likes to have some buildup areas, and this stroller pushed through like a knife in warm butter. My girls were so comfortable, and loved laying back and looking around. Added bonus that you can unzip the shades and adjust them depending on the direction of the sun.The parent console is awesome. The only thing it lacks is the support in the cup holders and the angle of which it sits on the stroller handles. Our cans splashed over onto the fabric pretty easy and they were less than half full; but again, No big deal. It’s easy to remove and wash. The center zipper is so spacious I was able to carry my belongings plus 4 of my disc golf discs’!I have not found a single flaw so far that makes me not want to give this stroller a 10/10. It has made my life as a twin mom so much less stressful, I actually look forward to going out now.No, I have not been paid for this review. I paid 100% full price, I’m honestly that excited over this stroller.

This is hands down the best stroller! It pushes and rides very smooth according to my girls. Easy to fold up and store. The assembly was a breeze. The seats are very comfy for long walks. It has two stretch mesh pockets on each seat for drink holders. The sun shade is longer than most so coverage is awesome. Love the orange color. Easy to spot my stroller.

So happy that I spent the extra money to get this stroller! It is easy to put together, durable, easy to clean and functions SO WELL FOR TWO KIDS WHO ARE DIFFERENT sizes!Love that each kid as their own sun shade. It pushes so smoothly even when I have my 40lb toddler in one side and my 20lb daughter in the other side. So much so that I can jog with only one hand! It’s so impressive!The storage underneath is great! Love that there are little pockets for water bottles in each side of the stroller, the pouch on the handle is awesome for a phone a Bluetooth speaker, and it has two cup holders on the handle as well!HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I’ve had it for a few months now and have used it daily!Oh and it’s so incredibly light! The lightest stroller on the market! It also has comfortable handles once forked to easily lift it into your car. It’s so functional!!!

Really love this double jogger!Pros:*easy to run with and smooth ride*Comes with air pump for tires that stores discreetly in the storage compartment.*It fits both my 2 and 1 year old comfortably with space to grow.*They can see each other easily to share toys or snacks.*They each have their own shade cover and pocket.*They can recline individually.*large and deep storage space (I took it for a unexpectedly larger than planned grocery shopping trip)* Large storage with 2 elastic cup holders.Cons:*You have to recline the seats fully to close.*It stand at a weird angle and falls over easily if not propped up against something.*the plastic handle to fold it gets scratched easily because they is what hold the stroller up when folded. I would rather the foam get dirty than the plastic get scratched up.All in all I think it is a great purchase! Lots of Pros a few cons but worth it for the price!
