So were looking for a jogging stroller/bike trailer that can collapse down to be put in a car, and that is not super expensive. Anyone have any suggestions on where we can find one?
I would highly recommend the Kidarooz brand. It is made by Chariot - which is the super expensive one - but sold at Costco for $224. However, Tiffany and I each just got one off KSL (try Craigs List or something in your area) and she paid $50 and I paid $80 - both in perfect condition and they fit 2 kids. Good luck!
well, we have a chariot, it fits all your criteria except for the super expensive part. There are different levels of padding and shocks and things. You will never regret buying it though, we figured that we would never sell it and take good care of it and we love it, Ethan likes it too. I would also recommend Trek's GoBug series. Not as refined as the Chariots, but much more cost effective and they may be off back order by now. Stay away from the Burley in my opinion, for for a few reasons. I researched these for about two months before we bought ours, so if you need more advice, drop me a email or take me on a fishing trip, you still owe me one!
We've had a Trek Brand bike trailer for some time. We love it. but it doesn't turn into a stroller. We have a fantastic Phil and Ted's stroller that I'd recommend to anyone!
Tara beat me to the punch! We love ours, and so does Emily, which is a plus. I recommend buying a bit nicer trailer--the cheaper ones at walmart etc aren't an aluminum frame, which means they weigh like 40 lbs. And I don't think I could pull the trailer plus 2 kids if it weighed that much to begin with, which means Cory would always have to be with me when it was used. so that was a deal breaker for me. Good luck finding one!
We are actually looking for one right now too. If you want cheaper, the instep one is on sale at Target for $99 this week. I also found a Schwinn one there on sale for $130-it seemed a lot nicer, made of aluminum, and was a little roomier (instep was a little too cozy for Steven). They both fold down flat and turn into a stroller. Good luck (we are also looking on craigs list!!)

Lisa I would check on Craigslist and see if anyone's selling one there!! Good luck!
