Amazon.com Product Description
Find the time to take a stroll or go for a light jog with a child in tow with the Schwinn Safari TT swivel stroller. Also great for ferrying your child while walking the dog or ambling to a picnic spot, the stroller features a lightweight aluminum frame with a swiveling front wheel that's ideal for flexible steering. However, you can also lock the front wheel into the forward position should you want better control while jogging. The interior, meanwhile, boasts a well-padded seat with an adjustable recline setting, along with a secure five-point harness. Parents will love the parent console, which safely stows drinks, keys, and other valuables, and the front bumper bar, which acts as a substitute seat belt when your child is hyper. You can even keep your boy or girl distracted by hanging toys from the bumper bar while you run errands. Other details include air-filled rubber tires for a smooth ride, a tinted sun visor in the canopy, a zippered storage compartment behind the seat, an adjustable footrest, 16-inch rear wheels and a 12-inch front wheel, an adjustable-height handlebar, and a handy folding design for easy storage and transport. The Safari TT, which offers a maximum weight capacity of 50 pounds, weighs 21 pounds and is backed by a one-year warranty. About Schwinn

 great stroller August 9, 2008
Alia (Lafayette, IN)
I was a little reluctant to buy this stroller because of the reviews, the not removable child tray, the too swallow cup holders, it turns out none of them were true. The child tray can be removed, and even if you decide to keep it, the space is big enough that your child will not be cramped. It is very spacious, my daughter is almost 4 now and can get in and out easily. The cup holders are not very wide , but they they are deep enough that your bottle won`t fall, and bcs they are a little tight, ur water bottle is kinda stuck in there, I went for a run and it worked perfect, my bottle did not fell. One of the reviews was talking about the size of it and that is not very compact, well, I drive a Hyundai Sonata and it fit only in half of the trunk easily, and still have plenty of space. The wheels are so easy to remove, I am not a very strong person, but this worked perfect. The handle, from where you push is adjustable, so if you are 5 feet tall like I am you can easily have it for your size. The bag underneath the stroller isn`t too deep, but for what I paid I am very happy. A lot of people do not give fair reviews to products, be happy with the price you paid, if you want something close to perfection maybe you should spend more than 100$ on a stroller.

I can't stand when people rip a product apart during reviews like they're getting paid by a competitor or something. Take this product for what it is - A STROLLER! They cannot please every single person's requirements for what a "perfect" stroller is. That being said, let me say this stroller really is exceptional. It is REALLY well made and durable. My son (9 months) is just as comfy as my three year old daughter, so it works out for the big kids as well as the little ones. It turns on a dime, it keeps jolting over terrain to an absolute minimum, and the storage basket is large enough. I have FOUR kids and it holds what I need. If I can keep my load to a minimum on outings, you can, too! For what I wanted this (walking/shopping), it's awesome and serves my needs well. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fine stroller. Buy this one with confidence. Thanks for the GREAT price, Amazon! (I paid under $100 for mine with free shipping!)

I purchased this one year ago on Amazon for $80. What a deal! This stroller is great, easy to fold, easy to get the child in and out, easy to lock or unlock the front wheel. My daughter will be in this stroller for years! Great quality.
 A Comparison with the Jeep Front Swivel Stroller November 13, 2007
Sunday Crepes
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
About a year ago, we looked at front swivel wheel jogging strollers. We wanted one with a supportive seat that would allow our son to sit more upright than most jogging strollers allowed. We also wanted one with a child tray. We opted to get the Instep Safari TT Single Stroller (which I think is the same as the Schwinn Safari TT Swivel Stroller) over one of the Jeep Liberty Limited Urban Terrain Strollers. We were able to buy the Instep much cheaper than the Jeep. Also, the Jeep we saw had speakers for a cd player which we had no interest in using. We have just recently purchased a used 2003 Jeep stroller. For our current off-road, non-jogging purposes, this is working out better.
I would like to offer our comparison of the Instep/Schwinn Safari and the Jeep. There seems to be a few choices in Jeep models. Ours is used and I don't know which we have. Therefore, these are just basic guidelines.
We've taken both strollers around a neighborhood with sporadic sidewalks and no curb cutouts and both have handled the mixed/rough terrain well. We've also walked on the university campus where there are small (2') hills and both strollers go up and down them fine.
My main complaints with the Instep, and what I like about the Jeep, are little things. The cupholders are so shallow that bottles of water fall over. The child tray is not removable. When our son falls asleep we have to lift him out over the tray. The sunshade is beyond stupid. We live in Arizona and the Instep shade provides no protection from the sun. It actually curves upwards. We bought a Kiddopotamus sunshade. Although it provides ample sun protection, our son must essentially look out a tube. I don't know if the Jeep sunshade will be better, we haven't used it for daytime walks yet. However, it seems bigger and does not curve up and let the sun in. I will address the bad Instep brakes later.
The Instep is bigger and the seat for the child is roomier. However, there is more head clearance space under the Jeep Canopy. I wonder if the foot rest on the Jeep will be outgrown faster than the footrest on the Instep.
The seat on the Jeep seems better padded. The one we bought was FILTHY when we got it and it cleaned up easily. I had been certain it would be covered in stains, but it looks brand new. The Instep has a thin seat cover that can be removed for washing. However, it is velcroed in place. When our son sits down, we have to hold the pad in place or it slips and wads up underneath him.
There are reflectors attached all over the Jeep. The Instep has no reflectors that I've ever noticed.
The handle on the Instep is adjustable, so you can make it taller. You can also position it facing backwards and be further back from the stroller. This is probably advantageous for joggers. The Jeep is okay height for me 5'7" and I think my 6' husband is okay, but much taller and the Jeep handle might be too short.
The back wheels on our Instep are bigger than the rear wheels on the Jeep. That might make a difference for someone who jogs. I haven't jogged with either stroller.
Our Instep has a locking front wheel as does our Jeep. I don't know if all models of each brand lock or not.
The brake system on the Jeep is better. Although they both have foot brakes that interact with the rear wheels, the Instep partially falls into place when you go over bumps. You then get a bump-bump-bump rhythm in the stroller. My husband actually stretched a bungie cord between the handle bar and the foot bar to prevent this. I haven't noticed the Jeep brake falling into place.
I like the cargo basket better on the Jeep because it is bigger and much more accessible. Another advantage of the Jeep is for our son. He loves to push the stroller like he does shopping carts. He grabs the horizontal bar at the back of the stroller and pushes. On the Instep, this is the brake so he sets the brake. On the Jeep, he grabs and pushes with the cargo basket so he does not set the brake. The cargo basket on the Instep is very inconvenient. It's small and it is hard to get stuff in and out. I suspect for someone jogging, they would collide with the Jeep basket but not with the Instep basket.
We've never used the Instep as a jogger, but rather as an off-road stroller. Now that I have used both, I think the Jeep is better for off-road general stroller, but the Instep is probably better for jogging. I still like the cup holders, sunshade, brakes, and removable tray of the Jeep MUCH better and think the Instep would be a superior stroller if it had those. Although I like the jeep cargo basket for my purpose, I think the Instep cargo basket that doesn't stick back, the handle that folds backwards, and the large rear wheels could possibly make a difference for a jogger.
As of this writing, amazon does not offer the front swivel Jeep. However, it can be ordered from other sites. Some models are as cheap as $100 at some retailers.
