DOUBLE JOGGING STROLLERS

WHEN YOU BUY
the real deal

The best way to save money on any stroller is to know what sort of double jogging stroller you want in the first place, which means identifying your jogging style and what sort of stroller best fits your family's particular needs. Better yet, compose a list of your top five models, after which you can easily search all the avenues available to the savvy bargain hunter and with a little time and patience, save yourself a nice heap of cash.

The bad new first: if your desired double jogger is listed on the manufacturer's website, it's fairly unlikely you're going to get a deal (no matter where you look) as manufacturers tend to determine the lowest list price of their current models, regardless of their many distributors-that is, unless last year's model is being closed out of their inventory.

The good news is that you can check out the alternatives (even if your double jogger is new) and get a good idea of whether the double jogging strollers you're considering are grossly overpriced and/or potentially find a good one being sold second hand. Check out eBAY, Craigslist, the local online (and newspaper) classifieds, and of course garage sales and flea markets offer you some more challenging second hand shopping potential. Although the JPMA would tell you to never buy a stroller second hand for safety-related issues, we can't (with any conviction) tell you not to try and save money. What we will say is that you should test out any double jogging stroller before purchasing it.
