- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year.

- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]

Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet.

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

we purchased this stroller for the sole purpose of our upcoming trip to disneyworld. we have used it 3 times so far and fell in love with it the moment we put it together. my kids combine weight is 52 pounds and it doesn’t feel like they’re even in the thing! it turns ONE handed easily with them in it and out of it, it holds a portable potty under the basket, and bag. my 3 yr old loves it,she’s 39 inches tall and weighs 29.8 pounds and fits very comfortably wiht tons of room to spare. my 18 month old is content as can be in this stroller which is unheard of in any other stroller usually when big sis is walking she wants to but this she stays in on her own! never once complained! we took it to a fair and wheeled it thru some ditches and over grass/mud, and it was great. we stopped in front of rides and kept getting questions of where we got our stroller. it comes with a wonderful rain shield which we used on mothers day coming out of lowes and it was pouring they were completly inside the rain shield nice and dry. more than i can say about us that were pushing it! it’s a must have! if you hvae two kids and use the stroller a lot it’s a great product, it goes over any kind of ground with ease. the local zoo is full of exposed roots and it was going over it without an issue! looove this stroller i cannot wait to use it in september in disney world! my 3 yr old also loves to sit on the foot rest cover she likes the option of having 2 seats!

We had the single jogger, same stroller and we absolutely love it. When my second daughter was born, we went out and purchased this one.
Pros –
~Solid stroller, rides like a dream compared to those plastic Gracco infant/toddler style strollers
~Compact for traveling, it folds down almost flat and you can take all three wheels right off with no tools to take along with you
~Parent “tray”, they have a little bag on the handlebars that I find very useful for holding drinks, sunblock, etc.
~Adjustable height handle, great for my wife and I since we are different heights
~each side can recline at different positions, my 2 year old’s sits up high and my 6 month old lies almost flat
Cons –
~The canopy provides good coverage and is movable, but compared to the single stroller canopy we have, it is a bit smaller. You might want to consider one of those kiddopotomus canopy extender things.
~No child snack tray (if that’s important to you)
~Climbing in and out – not the best little platform for the kids getting in and out, but my 2 year old manages
~the straps are a bit of a pain to adjust
Overall, I would definitely buy this again and recommend to a friend. Let’s face it, the BOB is the best in the market if money is no object but if money is even a thought, go for this one.

I had been waiting to get my double jogging stroller since my 3rd child was born. I read all the reviews, compared all the brands and then found out about Amazon.com. I made my decision, went to amazon and got the stroller I wanted for over 50%off. This stroller is absolutely wonderful. The seats are great for all my ages, 4,2, and 6 months. They all love to ride and with the swival wheel, anyone can push it easily!! I walk, run and even rollar blade with my stroller. It actually feels like it is pulling me along. The storage basket underneath holds my big diaper/purse bag easily. The wheels go over all types of terrain without any trouble. The sun shield works great and even has an extra plastic pull down shield if it rains and it completely covers the kids.
Dislikes/problems?? Nothing really.
I didn’t like that the kids didn’t have a snack tray at first, but it has been fine. They have a little strap for drinks and it probably promotes better health without the sncaks while working out? They get a banana when we get done now instead.
I have a soft small basket for keys, water bottle and that works okay.
We did have a samll problem. When we recieved the item there was a small tear in the lining. We called and they gave us two very easy options. Either they would send us a whole new stroller..wow! Or we could just get the seat replaced. Either one was VERY generous!!! It came two days later and worked out great.
So really no true dislikes or problems, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. I would recommend all who are interested should buy this one and USE IT. It is easy, great work out helper and really FUN! No excuse not to at least go out for that walk everyday.
Oh, remember it is a double, so even I was surprised. It barely fits through the doorway, will not fit down any isle in Jc Penny:) It turns on a dime though. It folds nicely but does take up over half of the Sienna van back end still.
I couldn’t ask for anything better though and for that price and ease of order, shipping, and even replacement. Go for it!!!

My mom bought me this stroller when I found out that we were having twins. We also have a front-to-back stroller that fits their car seats, but I prefer this one. Although I don’t jog, I live in a major city and I do a lot of walking, and this stroller makes it easy! It is VERY smooth and easy to steer. I can easily push it with one hand. My now-two-month old twins fall asleep whenever I walk with them in it. It is very wide, but I have never had a problem fitting it through a door. I get compliments on it wherever I go. It also folds smaller than our front-to-back stroller.
If you are buying this for infant twins, I would suggest getting head/body supports to put in the stroller. Our twins like many, were preemies and were small- my daughter was only 4 lbs, 4 oz at birth. They needed the additional support so that their heads didn’t bounce around in the stroller. The supports are cheap and also seem very comfortable for the babies.

Great stroller overall, and fast shipping. I received it within four days. Easy to assemble. A bit frustrating though since a plastic piece that locks the front wheel was broken. I had to call the manufacturer and received a replacement after a few weeks due to the part being on backorder. I had no problem with the bar hurting my kids when they sit in it. If you have a taller child you easily see that the design works. It supports their neck really well and I had no complaints about it being uncomfortable from them. Overall a great purchase except not too happy about the color. It’s not as bright and vivid as in the pictures. I would have rather paid more to get the red or blue version instead.
