I was totally on the fence about this stroller. My wife (in her infinite wisdom) decided this was the one she HAD to have. A couple of reviews later and we ordered it. This thing is awesome, incredibly awesome. It handled snow, potholes, and city streets with ease. The running wheel attachment made it awesome. It's huge and it's heavy, but my twins love it, my wife loves it, and I love it. I also contacted Joovy for some customer service and they were bang on helpful and polite. I'd strongly recommend this stroller to anyone with twins or two kids or one kid and a dog or two dogs or just anyone who loves strollers.Best Deals for Joovy Cocoonx2 Enclosed Double Stroller Black
I admit, it is a lot of money. Especially when you add the jogging wheel, like we did. But totally worth it. The kids LOVE this thing. I love that I can zip them up with a blanket and keep them warm and avoid chapped cheeks in the cold weather. I love that you can zip them up with a toy (drink, snack, etc) in any weather and not have to stop on a jog to pick up a thrown / dropped item. They stay entertained in there and everyone has a nice run. We got the "Greenie" color, love it. Easy to push 60 pounds (2 passengers), I don't think it would be a problem to go higher, just haven't tried it. The down side: it is large (but still gets through doorways) and will fold flat, but still takes up a good bit of space. The back of our SUV is full with this + a 55 pound dog. I think this would be the case with any double jogging stroller. Or any double stroller for that matter (this is the only one we have it serves 2 purposes). Joovy customer service is AMAZING, really I can't say enough. When we first got the jogging attachment the stroller pulled to the left. Turns out I didn't have the proper tire pressures. Also had a leak in the Jogging wheel they sent a new one! This replaced our Joovy Zoom 360 (the best single jogger, in my opinion) I think this brand is amazing!! Highly recommended.Honest reviews on Joovy Cocoonx2 Enclosed Double Stroller Black
um first i LOVE this stroller.recently my husband and i had to tote our two little ones and a whole lot of luggage through the airport. we laughed as we were going through because he was pushing the stroller with one hand (which was holding the kids, their toys, and all our carry on items)and holding a coffee in the other. (to say the least this stroller is WAY easy to push) i was carrying nothing. (it holds a LOT of stuff) AMAZING.
okay. so the pros (and the things that make you think, i don't know if there are really any big cons)
1) is rides soooo smoothly. two kids. tons of luggage in the back pocket. still a one handed push stroller that turns very VERY easily. Really love that it has REAL wheels, and not stroller wheels
2) luggage room. we fit a large purse, a small laptop bag, and several toys and stuffed animals in baggage compartment in the back. plus, there is ample room for additional toys in the front, sitting with the kids
3) the wind cover this really does keep the kids warm. i like too that they don't have to be in such heavy coats, i can just cover them with a blanket and they stay much warmer inside/ the bug cover is great too. i don't know how many walks i've gone out in the summer only to be continually batting mosquitoes away from my little ones face and body. problem solved with this.
4) another reviewer mentioned toys, sippy cups, stuffed animals, can't be thrown out.
5) the parking breaks are easy to put on and off with your foot and keep the stroller secure
6) set up was easy ... even with kids circling around, we got it set up pretty quickly. And my almost 3 year old was THRILLED with the stroller and wanted to get in right away.
7) Windows and Visibility are wonderful for the kids. Mine both are always looking all around and seem to love the comfort of it
8) My average sized almost 3 year old sits in here and looks to have PLENTY of room. We also have a 5 month old who is able to sit up, and she did fine in here next to him. With both of them in there, it looked as if you could have still fit another kid on the floor or in the bench. I wouldn't try it, but just saying this to say ... there is quite a bit of "room to grow" within the "cocoon"
9) Reflectors, A flag, a jogging pull handle ... all included for easy and safer night excursions
10) The Jogger attachment, Bike hook attachment, and storage compartment (for drinks and keys and things) are all available for extra. I wish these were a little cheaper, but am thrilled that Joovy Cocoonx2 is made to be able to accommodate all of these, another way it can grow with the family
I could go on and on ... but a few things to consider. Not sure if they are major "cons", but things to consider. These weren't a deal breaker for us
1) Its big. I have single, average size doors at my house and I cannot get the stroller through without closing it. I solve this by storing it in the van/or our garden shed. It does just barely go through the single door at our library. So if you have wider doors, it will probably work
2) Even when folded, its still big. You can remove the wheels pretty easily, but I still don't chose to to this so its big. It collapses down, but doesn't get any smaller than that.
3) Your kids need to both be able to sit up on their own for this to work. There is really no "recline" on the seats. My "supported" sitter did okay with being propped up with a couple of blankets, but Joovy recommends 6 months and older (12 months to use the Bike trailer), and that is probably the safest.
4) The seats are more or less a "bench seat" There is no divider between the two seats. This hasn't been a problem for us, but perhaps for older kids if they are prone to fighting. I think my two are just so thrilled to be in the stroller and outside, that it works great for us, and they seem to love that they are so close together ... But could be a problem for some
Additional Notes:
This isn't really a con, more just a note I wish I knew when I was setting it up. When you are pulling out the inside bar to lock it in place (or pushing it back) you have to pull REALLY hard. At first I thought I had received a faulty stroller, but I didn't realize you have to PULL really HARD. Eventually you hear a snap. I was afraid to pull that hard because I thought something would break, I didn't realize you HAVE to pull that hard to get it to snap into place. Its similar when pushing the set up down.
Overall, this is really a great stroller. I got it at a great price after reading many many reviews. Everywhere we go, people ask questions and seem so interested and impressed with it. My husband too loves the ease of use. I wish it were just a tad smaller, but at the same time love that there is so much storage space and that it has room for my kids to grow. It is a solid stroller, but the cocoon concept make it kind of unique and extra fun and snuggly for the kids. Plus I really love the versatility of it. This is an all in one active lifestyle active family stroller ... and we love it :)
Edit: 3 month later. Still love the stroller. Found it is easier to lock in place if you have both wheels locked first, though it is still harder than I would like. It does collapse very easily though. I found I can BARELY fit it through my front door. Still 5 stars.

The jogger did not fit my tall 5 year old and 9 month old in it well. My 9 month old kept falling over into the 5 year old and they both hated it. It was stuffy inside even without the rain cover. I think this jogger would work best for a combination of 2 and 3 year olds or for 1 child. They also have to sit up very erect and it did not look comfortable.On the positive side, even though I had to return it, it was very easy to assemble and looked to be made of quality construction.
