Babies R Us Zobo 2X Side By Side Stroller Cherry

We were really psyched when we bought this stroller because we were hopeful for a $170 steal when the other stroller (McClaren XLR sideXside) we were looking at topped $450. Turns out we bought a $170 stroller. So up front this Zobo double stroller does get the job done at the end of the day so I won't totally diss and dismiss. It is a very reasonable weight, if not light altogether, and has a relatively appealing aesthetic. However, after two days use here are the drawbacks:(1) Limited maneuverability makes it hard to navigate tight spaces and doorways are often met with the wheels getting stuck on the threshold or part of the door. It's like you have to constantly uproot the front or back to move the stroller the way you want, and there have been a handful of times when going over a 3/4" bump in the sidewalk meant having to crane up the front wheels rather than simply rolling over it, all because the wheels won't make ut over.(2) The stroller squeaks like an antique metal springs bed. I have a pretty high threshold for annoying and distracting sounds, much likely the byproduct of being a father of four youngins. But oh my.goodness if this stroller doesn't sound like my 2-year old having a mega tantrum. Hoping WD40 will do the trick but am a little surprised I have to go there this early in the purchase.(3) Pretty cheap assembly. Every time you fold or pack Zobo things pop off -- mainly the canopy and cup holder. So while it may not be a big deal to some, the extra 80 seconds spent fiddling with reattachments gets a tad annoying with little ones writhing, and quite frankly not having to reattach really isn't that much of a concession or expectation is it? Also, the construction is not sturdy so with regular use I'd guess you'd have 2, maybe 3 years max with this stroller before falling into complete disrepair.(4) If your pushing 60 pounds, it feels like your pushing 60 pounds. I'm not a small guy at 71 inches 220 lbs. so I was a tad shocked at the effort required to push my little piglets to and fro. That's, again, because the wheels lack guide and flow. Whereas a BOB can be pushed around by my pinky, a Zobo requires prayer, stretching, and meditation before embarking on your outing. It almost makes you want to look and see if you suddenly ventured off course and were now pushing your goods through deep sand. No joke.So overall I'd recommend this stroller to someone on a strict budget and just needs to get the job done and there's absolutely no shame in that. Just don't expect this to be one of those rare great bargains because this stroller exemplifies the adage that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Love this. I took this on vacation and fit great in my crossover. I was even able to have it stand upright behind driver seat with a infant seat in middle seat. You can remove shoulder straps for older child. Used with a two different age children and both were very happy. Baskets on bottom are decent size but not meant for large size diaper bag. Love that it has a cup holder but wish it had two or some for children. Cup holder is removable and does get caught on things in tight stores or spaces. Very easy to open and close with little effort. Would definitely recommend to others.
