Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogging Stroller Review
Raising children is one of the best experiences for any parent. It is during your child’s first few years that you are supposed to be the baby’s playmate, and make sure that your baby or toddler is comfortable and enjoying every moment the two of you spend together. The Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogger Stroller is a standard baby stroller that helps you have a great time with your baby and toddler. It is designed specifically to allow you to go jogging with your little ones.

Key Features
- This stroller is relatively lighter than most other double strollers. This makes it easier to lift when you need to put it in, or get it out of a car. (Lifting is easy because it has built-in handles on the sides of the stroller).
- The front wheels can be easily locked or unlocked by using a button near the handlebar. This makes it easier as it will not require you to bend to lock the wheels as in most other strollers.
- It has a cup holder for the baby’s caretaker which you can use to carry your water bottle as you go jogging with your babies.
- The built-in MP3 speakers can keep your kids entertained while you walk or jog.
- The stroller has an adjustable canopy that you can adjust depending on the level of the sun. So you have the power to decide how much sun your children receive as you go jogging.
- This stroller is very easy to adjust and fold, and can easily fit in the trunk of a car.
Safety Features and Key Benefits
- With its light weight, it will be easy for you to go for a run with your kids without getting tired.
- It can fit through standard size doors so you shouldn’t have to remove your young ones when going through doors.
- It is fitted with separate angle sunshades, one for each child, that can be adjusted depending on the direction of the sun therefore offering your children protection against direct sunlight.
- The front wheel can easily be locked and unlocked from the handlebar. When you want to jog you lock the front wheel so it cannot swivel. When you are walking you can unlock the front wheel to allow it to swivel. The swivel wheel is great for walking and maneuvering through tight spaces.
- It has an adjustable handlebar to accommodate parents of different heights.
- It has double front wheels making it stable and therefore the best for jogging.
Pros
- Compared to other jogging strollers, the Schwinn Double Jogging Stroller has a far more modest price.
- This stroller is easy to push and fits through doorways.
- Parents love the convenience of being able to lock or unlock the front wheel by pushing a button near the handlebar rather than having to bend down low and push a lever near the wheel.
- The adjustable handlebar is great for parents of different heights.
- The parent cup holder is very convenient for holding your water bottle.
Cons
- Some parents contend that bigger kids may not have enough room to sit comfortably while riding in this stroller.
- The MP3 speakers probably work okay, but some people have complained that the sound should be louder.
Overall Review and Verdict
Several people have left reviews on Amazon saying that have had accidents with the Schwinn Turismo and that their kids have been injured. However other people have commented that they have owned their Schwinn for years and have nothing but praise for this stroller. Those people contend that these accidents were caused either because the owner assembled the front wheel incorrectly as in they neglected to insert the prongs into the proper slots, or they forgot to lock the front wheel before running. (Just in case you are not aware, it is dangerous to run with a front wheel that is in the swivel positon. It must always be locked in the fixed position while running. This is true for any jogging stroller). There are certainly far more positive reviews than negative reviews about this stroller. Overall with more than 300 reviews, this stroller has an average star rating of 4.1 with more than 250 reviews of either 4 or 5 stars. I would suggest that when you read the reviews that you also look at the comments that may be attached to each review. Those comments often provide a sort of back and forth dialogue that can be very helpful. So do read as many reviews as you can, along with any attached comments, and then make up your own mind about what you think. I personally doubt that Amazon would risk its reputation by selling a stroller, or any other product for that matter, with known safety issues. But if the highly negative reviews make you feel too uncomfortable, then obviously you owe it to your kids to look for a different jogging stroller.
