Speedster Swivel-Deuce

For the sale price of $349 plus a 20% off coupon i had and free shipping, this stroller was an AMAZING deal. It is a great stroller. PROS: +Super, super light-weight!!!! +Great, HUGE storage underneath! +Folds compactly and fits into my small, awkward trunk space [Jeep Patriot]. +Large, comfy seats and leg space [my 4yr old is 43" and 36lbs and he fits wonderfully!]as well as a large foot well which was KEY in my decision. +Back wheels are quick release. +Useful pockets for cups/bottles [VERY important]and extra easy-access stuff. +Adjustable handle like the Baby Jogger Elite & Mini GT. CONS: -Does not turn nearly as smoothly as the BOB or Baby Jogger, in fact, it's not very agile at all as it should be having such a similar design to the other side-by-side three wheeled joggers. [maybe it is just my particular stroller?] -With uneven weight distribution [36lb 4yr old and a 17lb 11month old]the brake notches on the back wheels rub against a bolt on the frame that makes an annoying friction noise. [could be just my particular stroller]. -Front wheel is NOT so "Quick Release".. its a total pain in the butt to remove! -Folding it is easy... once you can undo the two yellow Locking clips which is REALLY difficult to do [and i'm really strong!]. -Does not have Duel Sun Canopies, just one big one that is somewhat difficult to push down.** -Doesn't have any child tray accessories.** ** I knew when buying this stroller that i was giving up some of these amenities but for the price i paid, it was well worth it. I didn't anticipate that the single sun canopy would be an issue for my kids, but my older son likes the sun, and my younger doesn't and so it can be a battle sometimes. I do want to say that for Kelty's full retail price, i would NOT buy this stroller. You can get a BOB Revolution Duallie for between $520-$650 and it has a HUGE resale value.. you can get easily $300-400 for a used BOB. So hopefully if Kelty continues to make strollers they will consider duel canopies, optional car seat and kid tray adapters, and a "push-button quick release" front wheel [ala Baby Jogger and BOB]. All in all, i am very happy with the stroller so far. It has a smooth ride [when going straight] and for all the PROS above i do recommend it [for the sale price]. I am planning on calling Kelty CS for advise on my particular stroller's issues.

We experienced EXCELLENT customer service with Kelty! We first owned the Single Fixed Wheel and after the first use realized there was an issue with the frame as the stroller kept pulling to the right every 3-4 steps...very annoying, especially since the first use was a quick run to a local playground in which my 2yr old BROKE his leg and the run home using that stroller to seek medical attention was a nightmare...we had to keep stopping to re-align stroller as it kept pulling to the right. My husband was ready to throw it away after that experience!! I noticed that Kelty guaranteed their products so contacted them a couple days later after we settled from the whole broken leg/cast ordeal. Kelty admitted that was a problem they have heard of and agreed to pay for return shipping...a few phone calls and about a month later I received a rather large package containing a replacement stroller - they sent us a Swivel Deuce at no additional charge!!! Perfect, considering I just delivered our 2nd child by then. The double has not given us any problems and after 2yrs of use we are still very happy with it. So yes, I would HIGHLY recommend the double stroller! HOWEVER, I would NOT purchase the single - our great customer service with Kelty and how they stood behind their product convinced our brother-in-law to purchase the single and have had nothing but trouble! Kelty did agree to look at the stroller but not pay $50+ return shipping. Sent a brand new single to them with the same issues and has ignored calls regarding the situation. The single has a problem with the frame whereas once you start to jog it rattles to the point of being a safety hazard to your child! I feel it is unsafe and for 2 people who are avid runners and spent $375 on a stroller they can only walk with is a waste and Kelty would really gain a lot of respect by just refunding their money as replacing the stroller only proved it was not an isolated incident. So thumbs up if you are on the market for a double; run for the hills if you want a single!
