Unlike all the other strollers that require you to bend down and manually lock the front wheel yourself, the Summit X3 Double is equipped with a lock lever located at the right side of the frame that you can easily reach. This is very convenient for parents who frequently switch between fixed and swivel modes when they are jogging and walking at intervals.

Cons
Con The handlebar has a fixed height
