Jogging Stroller Question

[colliebabe]

Hey everyone! Sorry if this has already been asked but I am looking at double jogging strollers and definitely want a BOB (I have a single BOB and love it!) I've been looking at used double ones on Craigslist and the ones that I've seen in better condition and for better prices are the BOB Dualie with a fixed wheel. My single BOB is a swivel wheel and I almost never run or use it in the fixed position. I find it so hard to turn in with the wheel fixed. It's like I can only run in an absolute straight line and not even change courses (like to go around people.)

Anyone have a fixed wheel BOB, single or double? I'd love to get the double for a better price and in better condition (the swivel wheel ones I've seen on CL are all pretty beat up.) But I am not sure I'd like the fixed wheel so I am torn. TIA!

If you don't like a fixed wheel on your single, you're going to hate one on your double. I keep going back and forth on whether to buy a double jogger. If I did, I would be fine with a fixed wheel because I'd use it for walks and runs and I feel the stroller rides better with a fixed wheel. That is, it doesn't get pulled with every crack in the sidewalk. It sounds like for that you want to use it for, you don't have a choice and you need a swivel wheel.

I have a BOB revolution duallie and never use it in the fixed position. It's terrible.

I have a single BOB ironman it has a fixed wheel. We use it exclusively for running. I have a city versa for other stuff.

Thank you for the replies ladies! I think I'm going to have to stick it out and either pay more for a swivel wheel or just get a swivel wheel that's not in as great shape. It stinks bc the fixed wheel one I saw is a great price and in great shape, but I know I won't like it.
