Customer Reviews

Handles well, but could use improvements
This stroller handles well on sidewalks in the city, though I wouldn't recommend it as a straight "jogging stroller" because it does not have a safety tether. (The description says it has both a tether and a hand brake. It has neither.) I live in the city where the sidewalks are often broken and uneven. So far this stroller has handled the terrain pretty well. The swivel-wheel makes it very easy to steer. It's not too heavy, but it is a little top heavy. I have noticed it has a tendency to tip easily if I am moving across a grassy hill or something like that.

The seat seems comfortable, and the harness is one of the best I have seen, a five-point number with an easy one-click release. The sunshade, however, doesn't really provide too much coverage for the child, and I wish it had a see-through window on top to provide a view of the rider. The space between the seat and the child's snack tray is kind of tight as well. My toddler fits fine at 18 months, but I am not sure that will be the case in another year.

The handlebar is of average height, and it's covered with some kind of porous foam material that I am not particularly fond of. It's probably supposed to absorb moisture or something, but it's not the most comfortable thing in your hands.

Parent's tray is okay, fine for keys and a phone, and it holds an small bottle of water tightly. The basket underneath is not particularly roomy, just average.

Overall, a fine stroller for the money, just could use a few minor adjustments.

WORTH THE PRICE
bought this as a jogging stroller for my four year old. Very solid construction, but the back on the seat is better for reclining the child, rather than sitting up. The support is not really strong for older children. But it rides well and steers easily. Worth the price!

instep stroller
this stroller is wonderful! my husband doesnt complain about kicking the back and its large wheels dont get stuck or slow you down. it folds up easily too. the only problem i see it that the sunshade doesnt really cover the baby all that well... our solution was to lay a baby blanket over the top and that works just fine.
