So let’s see if the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller lives up to the Columbia brand’s reputation.

What I like about this product:

Durability and toughness

In this aspect, the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller lives up to its Columbia heritage. This strollers is tough as they come.

Many people who have purchased the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller have said that it can take plenty of runs. Many have even passed it down to their younger children simply because it didn’t break down after some time.

This stroller is so tough that I’ve read reports of people strapping this stroller on top of their cars and going on road trips.

Compact

This is a big problem with double jogging strollers. Most of the time, they take up too much space even when they are folded.

That is why I truly enjoyed that the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller has a tight compact form when you fold it.

This means that it won’t take up too much space in the car trunk or in the closet.

Outdoor style

What I mean with outdoor style is that the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller seems to have integrated what Columbia is known for with regard to travelling the outdoors.

As mentioned it is tough and durable to withstand the elements. Other than that, It is also lightweight and compact for easier storage and portability.

Lastly, it is rugged but comfortable enough for the child who is using the stroller.

What could be improved on:

Handling

The handling of the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller is something that needs to be addressed. It is not as smooth as other strollers.

Also, while the exterior is tough, there are some issues with regards to stability. A few bumps on the road can unsettle or even tip the stroller which makes it hard to handle and maneuver.

Bottom Line:

At its price point, few strollers can match the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller in terms of durability and toughness. However, it seems that this is the only thing that is going for this stroller.

As such, if you are looking for a very tough stroller, then the Columbia Plus 2 Double Jogger Stroller is a good choice.

However, you may want to go for other strollers if you need one that can handle better, or provide you with more accessories that you need to care for your child.
