Check Out Schwinn Mark III Double Bike Trailer and Jogging Stroller

Schwinn Mark III Double Bike Trailer and Jogging Stroller Review



I have had this stroller for a couple of months now and run with my ~25lbs son riding along. I tried to make the seat more comfortable for him with some cushy shoulder straps made for child car seats and zip-tied a barbell pad underneath the seating area along the metal frame. My only concern with this stroller was the part of the frame that goes beneath the seating area, but the ~ pad fixed that. I would definitely recommend this stroller to others looking to save some money not springing for a BOB/Croozer/Burley. The lightweight aluminum frame and large wheels make it pretty easy to push along flat surfaces. I am able to give a push every 3 steps or so and it easily rolls in front of me without interrupting my stride much. Besides getting cranky from being a bit bored, he seems quite comfortable and has fallen asleep many times while riding in it. I usually run between 3-5miles while pushing the stroller and usually ride around 15-20miles while biking with it. With the rain shield up it seems to get plenty of airflow, but with it down I think it gets a little stuffy in there. I am in a 65-85 degree climate when I use it. I have run in some rain and he has stayed dry, the fabric is water resistant, but it needs to sit out after getting wet so it can dry for a while. Converting it from running to biking takes about ~2min to get it switched over and attached to your bike. I have it attached to a Felt F60 and it rides very smoothly behind me, it slows me down a bit because I'm pulling an extra 55lbs behind me (I'm 6'4" 195lbs) but other than slowing me down by 1-2mph I don't even notice it back there. I don't fold it up to transport it anywhere, so I'm not sure about how long it takes to do that, but when it arrived it was flat and easy to put together, so I would assume it would transport well.

Great double stroller - sd dad -
The Mark III assembles easily and quickly (hint--the instructions are in the storage compartment beneath the seating area). It is very light in weight and is easy to handle. Our 3 month old twins and their car seats fit in the seating area with no problem. I would definitely recommend getting the 16" front wheel attachment; it makes a world of difference with the ride.






dont purchase not worth the money - dtown -
I purchesed this product and returned it back. The bike trailer not comfortable for kids at all. The worst thing of it is the bar from the jogger folds underneath the seat were the child is sitting, so when you hit a bump they bounce on a bar. So not to comforable! Found another bike trailer jogger at costco the Xterra Excursion for 0 much better and has a suspension.



Good stroller/cart - Jeff Tingey - Idaho
This is a good stroller. We've had a lot of fun with it so far.
