Great double strolle for tall toddlers!!
July 21, 2011
I have really tall two+ year old twins, and I mean tall. People ask if they are 4 and 5 years old ( one is a little taller than the other) and they are 2 and a half years. So I spent a great deal of time googling over and over : lightweight double twin stroller for tall toddlers with full recline seat position, charting the manufacturers specs on height and weight for each stroller, along with price, reading all the user reviews, and finally came to the conclusion that the Joovy Scooter x2 is the only stroller that might fit the bill. By way of background, I already own a $1,000 inline tandem, a double jogger, a double umbrella stroller, and a double inline umbrella stroller. We have already outgrown all of the aforementioned strollers. I like to go for long walks so I can get some exercise while my kids nap so the full recline for tall toddlers was a must have. So, I am happy to report that the Joovy Scooter x 2 is a great double for tall toddlers! My son, the taller twin, can lie down flat and still has another 2 inches above his head before we outgrown this one. It is built like a well built umbrella stroller, so it is a bit heavier than a regular double umbrella, but there is a lot more headroom and it folds up compactly. The sun canopy.. I cannot rave enough about it, it is fantastic for nappers and sunny days, it is unbeatable coverage. The storage underneath is also plentiful. It's maneuverable, and good for city streets. I think if I had found this one first, I could have saved some money on all these other strollers. The cons: This is not a stroller that can double as a jogger, so it is one star short of being an all around perfect "the only stroller you need." But, no one else has invented that yet anyway so you're not missing anything. It is a good around town, walk on the rec trail type stroller. Another con, I'm 5"10 and my toes bump the brake bar when I walk. Not a lot, nothing painful, but I always have to remind myself to take shorter strides when I first start walking. In short, if you are looking for a lightweight double twin stroller for tall toddlers with full recline seat position, this is it, it's a great investment. Joovy, consider me a fan!
