For Baby Jogger 2016 Summit X3 Double Jogging Stroller, you’re going to enjoy some of the best safety features and one of the safest experiences you can find on a double jogging stroller. While it might not seem like a safety feature on it’s own, one of the better features of this stroller is the massive sun and shade canopies that pull down from the top of the stroller. If you want to go for a run or walk on a sunny day, you won’t have to worry about the conditions since your children will be protected from the sun and anything else that might happen. Additionally, the all wheel suspension is great to make sure your child enjoys a safe and smooth experience at all times.

Brakes/Handling

When it comes to the brakes on this particular stroller, you’re going to love to have the rear wheel brake accessible right at the handlebar so that it can easily be used whenever you find it necessary. Not only is this going to be great to have when it comes to needing to stop the stroller from moving, but it’s also going to be great when you need to slow yourself down so you don’t have to worry about stopping the weight of the stroller in addition to yourself.

Wheels

The wheels on this particular stroller are some of the most complex wheels on a stroller but they are incredibly easy to use and provide you with some great features to make your life easier. From a simple lever on the handle bar, you’ll be able to lock the front wheel straight so you can go on a run or you can release the wheel so you can easily walk and return to the normal stroller mode. In addition, the strollers contain an all wheel suspension system and are air filled to help provide a smooth ride throughout your entire stroll. There are 16 inch wheels in the rear and 12 inch wheels in the front to provide you with exactly the ride you want.

Design

While there may be a lot of reasons for you to buy a stroller, it’s probably going to be pretty important to make sure that you appreciate the design of the stroller you are buying. From this double jogging stroller review, you find that you’re going to get a great looking stroller with a streamlined design to help make it easy to fit through any doorway you may encounter. Combine that with the easy fold design, and you’ll have no problem seeing why we love this stroller.

Weight

Out of the four other strollers that this particular one was compared against when it comes to product reviews, this stroller did come out to be one of the heaviest strollers out of them all. However, it’s important to note one of the reasons why it is so much heavier compared to some of the others. While lightweight is always preferred, this stroller is heavier because it packs in a lot more features that add weight such as full sun canopies for the kids, all wheel suspension system and the ability to switch between a regular stroller mode and a jogging stroller mode. So while it might be heavier, my personal opinion is that it is well worth having the extra weight.

Ease of Use

As you may have already seen from some of the features that have already been discussed, you’re going to love just how easy this stroller is to use. It will be simple for you to switch this stroller from standard mode to jogging mode and the large wheels make it easy to handle any bumps or cracks that you might find in the road or walkway. Lastly, Baby Jogger 2016 Summit X3 Double Jogging Stroller has a patented quick fold technology so that you can easily and quickly fold your stroller in just one step.

Capacity

As mentioned countless times throughout this review, this particular stroller is going to be great for anybody who wants to find a stroller for their twins or for two of their kids that are right around the same age as one another. While it will fit your two kids comfortable as mentioned, it is also going to provide you with a lot of storage room so that you can bring everything you need with you while you have the stroller. The large storage bin at the bottom can hold plenty of large items while the storage area on the back of the seats will hold most of the other items you may need to bring.

Color Selection

While you might find a lot of different color choices when it comes to the majority of strollers you look at, you’re only going to find two color choices with this one. While it only comes in green or black, it is still going to look great for just about anyone who wants the stroller. Some people may not want black if they have girls and they want to find a pink one, but for most people, the black or green color choice is going to be fine!
