Hi ladies - I am in need of a good (inexpensive) jogging stroller with 2 seats. I have looked at Baby Trend(Babies 'R Us), Schwinn (Walmart), and InSTEP (Walmart). Does anyone have one that they particularly like or dislike? I'm not wanting to spend much more than $200. Thanks!
hi J., have you tried to look for one at KidsRus, i've been there before and they sell used items in great condition and for great prices. Log on to Kidsrus.com and that will give you more info....
good luck

The North Dallas Mothers of Twins Club is having their annual sale Saturday, March 29th if you can wait. They always have a large selection of strollers and everything else for babies and kids. All of the items have to be in good condition in order for members to sell so the strollers should be in good condition. Check out www.ndmotc.org for more info.
have you considered checking Once Upon A Child or Kid to Kid. You can get a good quality used stroller for a fraction of the price. That's what we did and it's been great. (Until my oldest son dismantled the wheels)
check EBAY, there is more to choose from that some of the local stores dont carry. I have an INSTEP with a front tire that swivels. its great, I got in on Ebay...
Good luck
There is a consignment sale twice a year which has gently used items and sale is huge. You might find one there. Please go to www.divineconsign.net One is coming up shrtly.
If you can find one used for less money, we LOVE our BOB Revolution. A lot of people I know have one and love it as well. The front wheel can be fixed like a traditional jogging stroller, or can turn. I never lock the wheel anymore, even for running, and love that I can take turns without doing the jogging stroller "wheelie". They make a Dualie model, but it's $500+ new, so Craigslist/Ebay would be good places to try. If you want to test one, they have them at REI and Lonestar Baby (Formerly USA Baby). Happy trails!

hi well, you can go to a salvation army store they might have it there. There isa lot of items that are used and in good condition or new items for a reasnable price. Good luck
I got my stroller from AlbeeBaby.com- they have great- new stuff. I got an almost $300 Peg Perego Aria stroller for $100 brand new in the box. They have joggers there too- you might want to check it out. I went to Babies R Us, tried all the strollers out, found the one I liked and then went and ordered it on albeebaby and saved so much money. I think I even got free shipping.
I first purchased the InSTEP (I think the Safari) because it was the least expensive. I ended up giving it away...it was awful. It made loud noises and drove us crazy and the wheels were constantly deflating. I then bought the red Schwinn. I compared prices online and through Amazon.com I got it for $199.00 with free shipping. We walk at least 2 miles a day and my husband takes it running with a 40 lb. boy and a 28 lb. boy and it has been great. If you will use it often, you get what you pay for. We really love this one.
Try "Devine Consign" going on this weekend at Plano Center. They always have a ton of gently used strollers, you might find a ton of other stuff, too....cheep!!!! Mar. 2 11-7 , Mar 3 9-3, 1/2 price day Mar 4 8- noon. Go early the first day, and expect a line, but if you want the best choices of strollers, that is your day. 1/2 price day is great for that extra stuff you don't need but want anyway(like clothes and toys). You can bring your kids and try the strollers out for size, so to speak.

check out craigslist.com (DFW area), KidtoKid and other 2nd hand places. You can place an ad on Craigslist for free telling people what you are looking for as well.
i have bought a ton on craigslist and sell alot as well.
good luck!
Check Ebay and Craigslist!!! :) They usually have LOCAL ones that are not too badly priced!!! :)
