One VERY lucky Vanilla Joy reader will win this Single City X3 swivel stroller from Tike Tech!

MY REVIEW

tike tech double jogging stroller

First of all, can I just say that having now owned both a regular and swivel/jogging stroller, I will never go back. If I EVER have to buy another stroller again, I will go with a swivel/jogging without question.

We got to try out the Tike Tech City X3 Twin Swivel Stroller, and we have used it every day since we got it. My boys love cruising around in it because it’s comfortable, the ride is smooth, they’re protected from the sun, and we can go fast!

Here are some reasons why we love the double Tike Tech!

1. The shocks are amazing. The sidewalks and streets in our neighborhood are bumpy and uneven, and with our old stroller it was like riding in a wagon on a dirt road. I was always jerking Elliot around when we hit the lip of a sidewalk and he would either get whiplash or a bruised tailbone. With the Tike Tech, I don’t even notice the uneven and bumpy nature of the road. The stroller is sooo much easier to push – it just glides right over all those bumps.

2. It fits easily through doors. I was a little worried about this, it being double wide and all, but it fits perfectly through doorways. I know because since we got this stroller I have walked instead of driven to do some light shopping and we can get through the doors just fine.

3. The seats are fully adjustable anywhere from sitting straight up to fully reclining. Without this feature, I wouldn’t be able to put Gus in the Tike Tech. His head is still a bit wobbly and he needs to be reclined to be comfortable and steady. Elliot likes to sit all the way up, although if he fell asleep on a walk I could easily and gently lay it back without waking him up.

4. The sun shades are fully adjustable. Fully extended, the sun shade comes out and down far enough to keep my little Gus completely shaded from the sun so I don’t have to worry at all about him getting too hot or sunburned. Elliot doesn’t like the sun shade all the way down, so we put it about halfway down to keep his head shaded but out of his face.

5. The two sides all adjust separately. I love that all the moving parts are separate on each side so I can customize them to each child.

6. It folds up easily. There are two little finger holds on either side of the stroller that you pull and the stroller folds itself in half. You can strap the rear axle and the handle together to keep it secure. The one downside about this stroller is the size and weight. It’s big and kind of heavy. BUT. I couldn’t have all the other options that I love without the bulk, so I’ll take it. It’s a pretty fair trade off.

7. There are pockets behind and underneath the seats so plenty of storage for all your gear.

8. The break is easy to engage and disengage. It’s a bar that you push or pull on with your foot to lock into place. The break is essential for when you’re putting kids in and out.

9. The front wheel can swivel or be locked into a stationary position. I love the swivel, I haven’t yet used the double stroller without the swivel engaged, but it’s nice to have the option.

10. Both boys have plenty of space, and the little wall between them is perfect amount of separation. They can still see each other but can’t bother each other too much.

11. It’s stable. Sometimes Elliot likes to get out and walk (which I try to prevent, but sometimes it happens anyway) and Gus wants to be held. If only one child is in the stroller, you can’t really tell the difference. The weight is distributed evenly throughout and I can’t tell a difference at all in how the stroller handles.

We all love our Tike Tech twin stroller – it has allowed us to actually go on walks together as a family and has made it much easier for me to take both boys by myself. We went to the park 1 time this whole summer before we got our double stroller, and have been probably 7 or 8 times in the last 2 weeks so I am exercising more and Elliot is able to get out his wiggles.

Here are some closeups of my favorite features:

1. Viewing windows. They are covered with a flap that you can roll and pin up to keep your eye on your passengers.

2. Behind seat pockets.

3. Rear break and CHECK OUT THOSE SHOCKS!

4. Seat incline control. Just pull or push on the black buckle to lower or raise the seat.

5. One finger folding lever.

6. 5 point harness

7. Swivel switch

8. Lap bar (great for hands or feet!)

Tike Tech strollers are high quality, user friendly, comfortable, and AWESOME with so many great features that can be customized to its passengers. I’m already looking forward to all the fun places we can walk together next summer!

Thanks, Tike Tech!

  14. I have spent MANY hours on the internet researching strollers trying to find the PERFECT one. After hours and hours of research I have narrowed it done to two strollers and they are either……this Tike Tech or the City Elite, they are both AMAZING!

  15. We have used an umbrella stroller for #1, and while it works, its a pain, and not suitable for the tiny tot. I would love to have a nice stroller like this before #2 shows up in January!

  26. I have been eying these strollers for a long time, but could never afford it. I would love to win this!! It’s so hard trying to get back in shape after having a baby and running with a traditional stroller.

  34. I hadn’t heard of Tiketech before, but after this post, I will be recommending to a friend who is expecting twins! I would love to win this contest, too. Thanks for the post!

  42. (Doesn’t really say what the first comment is supposed to be about) I love that these strollers come in Orange! We are in the market for a double stroller, so I will be taking this into consideration!

  57. This stroller would be awesome for my 2 boys! This would be like a Cadillac for them to ride around in while I try to finish loosing the rest of my baby weight!!!!!!!!!!!!

  65. This would be so fantastic, our old stroller is on its last wheel, if fact one wheel falls off all the time, the harness buckles are broken so we use a beach towel to tie our little guy in. The sun shade on ours is a joke, but this is our last baby and we just couldn’t see investing more money into baby things, but winning something, now that’s another story. Thanks Kelsey for another great give away. Love it in the orange.

  101. These strollers are great – I like that the single models are Bassinet compatible. I appreciate how reasonably priced they are for the features.

  136. I would LOVE to try out this stroller. I was excited to see that Target sells them online and if there is anything wrong it can still be returned to the store!

  149. I love the look (sleek design) of this stroller. I would love to win it for my NEW sister in law. He( brother inlaw) has 3 boys and she a girl this will be number 5 (But their first together). She would love this–why— because it would help give her the freedom to exercise. Because when you have that many little ones FREEDOM to do anything does not happen. This is very nice she can be with Baby and take care of herself. Did I tell you all 5 are under 7 years old.
    They never made things like this when I had my two (They are in their twenty’s now) Thanks for giving this away, and I hope I win. Good Luck everyone.

  227. Sounds like a great stroller with all kinds of handy features. I wasn’t familiar with Tike Tech before, will be giving them a closer look when I buy my next stroller.

  246. I SO need this stroller. I have been trying to get running again and it’s easier this way than to have a two yr old running after me!

  248. I love this stroller! I love everything about it! I exspecially love the sleek compact design and I have never tried a swivel stroller but it sounds great! This would be perfect to bring to our upcoming Disney trip – just thinking of how I could manuveur through the crowds with this baby :)

  269. Current stroller= a hand me down that was handed down to them previously. Who knows how many owners it’s had! Today I noticed that a screw fell out of an adjoining part and it squeaks really badly! This would be wonderful considering a stroller is our only set of wheels during the day!!!

  299. I love this!!! This is the first time I have seen this brand of stroller. I love the fact that it has a swivel wheel and also is compatible with a car seat. I have got to get me one of these! Thanks for introducing me to this brand of stroller.

  300. I love it! I am loving my jogging stroller, but when #2 comes, I am not sure that we could afford another jogger… I’ve been looking at double joggers that are narrow and this is the best I’ve seen so far! Love it!

    Reply

  316. Wow! This jogger is amazing! I LOVE the colors they come in (my favorite is the orange) and because we live right behind a cemetary this would be perfect to take my two little boys for walks together. Right now my three year old has to walk along side because we only have a single…winning this would make us all smile a little more!

  319. I really like this stroller, the colors are awesome! We currently dont have a stroller, just one of those folding car seat attaches for my daughter, and my son walks which is hard on his little legs as we like to go walk around the mall on the weekends and window shop. We also live in the northwest so we love to go walking through the mountains and around the lakes.
