It's not fair to compare it to a Bob, but let's do that.
By John S
This review is not meant to be a truely in depth head-to-head, but hopefully will get you thinking when you do your comparison shopping. For those die-hard "got-to-have-the-absolutely-most-expensive-that-my-friends-will-recongnize" this will not be the stroller for you.
This stroller is, according to my scale, two pounds lighter than the Bob Dualie. It comes with cup holders for the adult, it comes with cup holders/snack tray for the children, the Bob Dualie does not have either included (although they are avialable for purchase $$$). The Schwinn (Pacific Cycle) has adjustable handlebar, the Bob Dualie does not. This one is, comperably equipped about $400-$450 cheaper than the Bob. It's made in China, but the Bob is made in... China (this one would have swayed me to purchase the Bob despite it's shortcommings and high price, but oh well). This stroller has a handlebar positioned front wheel lock, the bob requires you to stop and fiddle with some knob. Its aluminum wheels and ball bearing wheels roll well enough. It's front wheel had adjustable cup-cone bearings, and were (suprisingly) well adjusted from the factory. The rear wheels were non-adjustable, but that seems par for these types of strollers. I'm a little dissapointed in it's radial spoke configuration, it looks fancy, but mechanically loads the spokes more than the traditional cross-spoke configuration (bike manufacutres for years have sacrified mechanical strenth in wheel sets for cool factor, so I can't fault the Chineese manufacurer for this). Yes the fake sheepskin covers are removable by slipping them out of the harness, I saw one reviewer say that you had to cut them (I imagine they were challenged with opening the cardboard box too).
The Bob does have an infant car seat adapter (available $eperately). This one would take some jerry rigging to safely secure a child seat (read only for those mechanically inclined to do so). The Bob will definitly get you yuppie points while cruizing to your local Starbucks. This stroller will only let you stash away $400 into an interest bearing account for your children's college fund (that's kinda hard to brag about while waiting for your double-almond decaf vanilla frappachino, then again if you skip the frapachinos you could probably double that figure).
Whichever you choose I'm sure you'll be happy.
PS, for those who do purchase this one: The TWO (2) speakers are both packed together in the same pouch. You must seperate them (they stick together because of the magnets of the speaker) and uncoil the wire. When seperated, they work okay for the kids, but don't expect a Bose quality.

Good stroller for small children
By R. Fahler
I have an eight month old and a nearly 3 year old. I already have a double Maclaran stroller that I use for the mall, traveling, etc but wanted a stroller that I could use for jogging and walks in the neighborhood. I used the stroller for one jog and it pushed very well. I liked the double sunshades that can be adjusted for the angle of the sun. The rubber inserts on the parent cupholders are a great feature since my water bottles always fell out of the shallow cupholders on my single jogger while I was jogging. There isn't too much storage - just the basket underneath and the parent tray. No pockets on the backs of the seats or on the sunshades like my single jogger has. However, the basket underneath is easy to get to and since I was using this primarily as a jogging stroller, I didn't have much to bring with me. I love that the front wheel locks/unlocks by pushing a button near the handlebar instead of having to bend over and flip a switch near the wheel.
I got this stroller because I really liked the price range and I liked the snack and cup trays for the kids. Unfortunately, I am returning this stroller. My eight month old fit just fine but my almost 3 year old is 37.5" and was not comfortable. The seatback is only 17" tall so her head stuck up beyond the seatback so she couldn't rest her head back comfortably. Also, the way the seat is designed, her legs struck straight out instead of bending at the knee like she is sitting in a chair. As a result, one leg sort of rested on the wheel cover and the other dangled off. She tried to twist sideways and bend her legs so she could rest both on the wheel cover, but I could tell she wasn't comfortable. I am wanting to use this stroller for a couple more years and I know there will never be enough room for both of my girls' legs once the eight month old gets taller.
This would be a great jogging stroller for anyone with younger and shorter kids. However, as the kids grow, there just isn't enough head or leg space.

Best buy compared to all other joggers
By M. ADAMS
Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogger
4 stars
Bottom line, it is insane to drop 700 bucks on a double jogging stroller that is far from perfect. This one is great, and it is even better than some other double jogging strollers we tested. (We looked at most of them. BOB, Mountain Duo, Bumbleride, Valco Baby, BabyTrend, etc.) There is no one stroller which has everything we wanted (adjustable handlebar, adjustable canopies, large/reachable storage basket, well-designed parent tray, easy to fold and store, narrow enough to fit through doors, individual foot rest, weight, etc.) We researched this purchase for over a month. Finally, we decided to purchase the Schwinn online from WalMart because at $220 it looked like it would fit most of our needs, and so we could return it to the local store if it didn't work out. (This model wasn't available for any test drives in the stores that we visited including fancy baby stores, bike shops, and REI). If consumer reports reviewed these things, this would be a best buy.
General Impressions:
- wheel size matters. the bigger the wheel the cushier the ride (and push.)
- one front wheel is definitely better than two (for us, anyway), especially for jogging. It is plenty stable. We just thought 4 wheels felt awkward. when jogging, pushing with two wheels in the front is much harder-- the more wheels the more friction. we greatly preferred one wheel in front.
- fits 3 1/2 year old girl in 50th percentile just fine. feet dangle but she doesn't care. she just moves them around as needed. there's enough head room because the canopies are effective (and can be individually adjusted) but not massive. the reason we didn't buy the $700 BOB was that the canopies were so large that the material compromised head space for our older child. also, our kids like to look out. we're not trying to cover them up 100%. just enough to block the direct sun as needed.
- smooth, easy pushing
- with wheel locked, works great for jogging. I ran pretty at 50-75 percent sprint for a hundred yards or so on a dirt trail without any problems
Pros:
- handlebar control for locking front wheel is an amazing feature. It's otherwise not feasible to wheel the thing into doors at the top of steps. We tried with the BOB and it was comedy material.
- Folding and storage is comparable with other jogging strollers. Easily fits in our Highlander with wheels off with some (not a ton) of room to spare. Also, with wheels off it stands up easily (maybe even with wheels on--i haven't ever tried it).
-nice quality material and the red looks great and is easily visible by others (cars, bikes, etc.) nice safety feature.
-nice adjustable handle.
-great wheels, suspension
-easily adjustable seat incline for each seat.
-nice lamb inserts for the baby.
-nice child tray for each kid (although we wish the snack cup were bigger with an insert so you could pick what size you want depending on what you have in there (snack cup, water bottle)
-decent parent console; same comment on size of cup holders. Parent console does not fit an iPhone but my wife just puts hers in the cup holder.
Cons:
- seats not extremely well padded, like e.g. BOB. This is very minor, kids don't need fancy padding, frankly. Did you have fancy padding when you were a kid?
- wish there was a metal rod between the two footbrakes. there is a hole in each brake for one, but it would probably get caught on the pole between the back wheels (to which the runaway strap is supposed to be connected--overall, it's a good thing to have the strap connected at the bottom than up at the handle bars where it could tip the whole thing if you fell). Such a rod would make it flip-flop friendly.
- it's basically too wide to get in and out of a standard doorway on any regular basis (it does fit, but not easily), but the same thing goes for all of the double joggers (actually some are narrower at 29" but they have two wheels in the front and are $700.) We even brought a BOB home to test it out and it's just not easy. Since we don't have a garage, our solution is to store it in the trunk of our SUV.
- bottom compartment is big, but it's divided in two by a canvas separator thus impairing utility. works fine just not for a large diaper bag.
-ours arrived with only one speaker. would have requested another if we cared about playing music for the kids but we don't.
