 GREAT jogger except... October 4, 2007
Ann Circuit (Boston)
This is a great jogger for it's price.....It's lightweight and folds easily and was easy to assemble. All three wheels come off quickly so it can be packed into smaller trunks or spaces. The seat is roomy enough for a good sized/older toddler and the hood gives adequate coverage. It moves along great while speedwalking/jogging but does pull to the left a bit...though not enough to be a huge bother. The only cons: the slight pull to the left, the cup holders are pretty much useless, and the harness system could be designed better. The straps aren't padded and the strap/loop that the belt straps go though at the crotch is very short. All in all, I'm happy with the jogger and would recommend it to a friend.
 Good stroller, but not great September 4, 2007

I purchased this stroller recently after having owned another Instep that was well worn after 3 years. I live by the beach and after 3 years of use it was all rusted out so I bought this so I could have smooth ride with my new baby.
Though these strollers are on the low end of the spectrum, I was hoping Instep would have made some upgrades to their line, but it appears they haven't - other than new colors (which aren't even better in my opinion). The canopy is still not long enough to cover my babies legs/feet, so I have to clip a blanket to the canopy and drape it so it protects him from the sun at certain angles. Also, the material is still thin and has absolutely no cushion. Once again, we had to, purchase the Kiddopatomus insert to cushion the baby. The 5 pt harness never changed either - it is still a cheap and thin black strap with no padding and I worry that it is uncomfortable for my baby. Lastly, the strap that goes between babies legs appears to be shorter than the previous stroller I owned and it's so tight it hurts the baby when I pull the buckle through. I'm calling Instep tomorrow to see what they are going to do about it. Unfortunately, it is sewn into the stroller seat so it's not going to be an easy replacement or fix.
I recommend paying $100.00 more and upgrading to something else. The Schwinn's looked like the next step up.
 Ok for the money August 24, 2007

This product is ok. After using it for a few weeks I have decided it would have been a better idea to spend the money and get one with a moving front wheel. Also this stroller is a bit longer than I thought it was going to be. We took it camping and it was able to go on any terrain so it does serve its purpose. Overall I think it is a decent stroller but if you have the money a stroller that has the front wheel interchangable between fixed and swivel would be best.
Great running stroller for the price August 23, 2007

I'm a casual runner and this is my first running stroller. I was looking for something of good enough quality so that my running experience would not be horrible (so that I would continue to use the running stroller), but not break the bank (in case it turns out I don't really get much use from it for other reasons).
So far it's performed to my needs very well. Turns out I don't have much time to use it everyday, so good thing I didn't spend a fortune. It is light enough and works well enough that I enjoy taking the baby out for runs on the weekends.
Pro's:
- Tracks well (runs in a straight line)
- It's alumnium, is light and does not rust.
- Fits in the trunk of a Camry with the front wheel off. Not much room for much else. I doubt I would be able to take it on a vacation or take it to do grocery shopping.
- Canopy adjusts well. The top is velcro so you can move it around.
- Well balanced so you can easily lift the front wheel to make a tight turn.
- Lots of room in the bin and a pretty good cup holder (for use when not running)
- Has a hand brake, but I find I don't use it much.
Con's:
- The seat is not padded, but it doesn't seem like my daughter cares.
- Seat is not removable for washing. My child had a leaky diaper and I was not able to remove the fabric for cleaning, but using a wet paper towel did the trick.
- The harness is kind of cheap feeling/looking, but it serves it's purpose.
- It's quite big even when folded up, but I think this is a problem for all running strollers.
I use this for running, speed walking and I take it to places where there's no pavement (e.g. country side, parks and off-road trails). I'm very satisfied with it's performance. My other stroller is a Maclaren and I would not be able to do any of this with it.
Okay Jogging Stroller August 5, 2007

The stroller is a good jogging stroller, however for the price there were a few things that I was not satisfied with. The seat does not have padding, and the adjustment to lay the seat back or forward is a pain in the butt. You have to tighten it or loosen it with straps that are similar to those on grocery carts. This is fine without the child in the seat, but with them in it is rather difficult (especially if they child is sleeping). Other then these two things I am satisfied when running with it. I just think for the price they could have made each of those a little better.
