Heavy and awkward. Not crazy about this monolithic stroller.

My husband and I are basically novices when it comes to double joggers and we therefore spent a good deal of time researching what was out there. We made the mistake of purchasing the Dreamer Design Ditto Manhattan. We liked it primarily because it offered the swivel-wheel for easy maneuverability at the mall and could also be locked into a stable position for power walking and jogging (how ingenious!!). Unfortunately, were disappointed with it primarily due to both its emmense size (both when and when not folded) and its weight! Its simply impractical. Im certainly no femme fatale, and its almost impossible to lift this stroller into the back of our mid-sized SUV, and it just barely fits! That being said, I wasnt too pleased with the lock out function on the two front wheels either. It seemed to work well for the first few times out and then became tempermental to the extent that one wheel was swiveling freely while the other wasnt. Also, for a stroller intended for shopping as well as athletics, it has a poor design. Theres no under carriage storage (and perhaps there needs to be), but rather two backpacks on each of the back seats. Theres no place for a purse or your mall purchases, or a cup for that matter. We loved the color but like I said, were definitely not crazy about this monolithic stroller!
