This is the first jogging stroller that I looked at and researched and I absolutely love it. Like other customers, the canopy does not offer much shade & the reclining mechanism could of been better but for the price, you can’t go wrong. The swivel is the way to go, moves around like nothing better then my baby stroller so I now use it as my regular running errand stroller. Fits great in the car, bulky but not any bigger then a regular infant stroller. I would recommend this jogging stroller to any Mom or Dad, they’ll enjoy it.

This stroller I bought for my niece, who lives in Montreal, Canada, is a student and has a busy, active little 10 month old.
My niece reports that her baby loves this stroller compared to every other one she has tried, or had.
My niece is a student, and she pushes the baby to the bus line, they hop on, they hop off at “school – day care for baby” and she again puts baby in the stroller. Then my niece is able to keep the stroller at day care, until she returns to get her baby and stroll or take bus back home.
The one thing that you might consider when selling these strollers with “pumped up” or “bicycle tires” is you need to pump them up when you purchase them. I did not realize it. I am still making sure the tire is going down, and we need a replacement, but a tire gage and foot pump would be ideal for her and many others. Not sure if you are familiar with Montreal, but most people do not have cars – too crowded and mass transit is big, walking, biking, skating to do errands is the norm. That means that gas stations to use an air pump is hard to find.
I am investing in a good gage and pump for her. And my niece will be watching to see if has a slow leak. She is afraid to over fill the tire, as she has no working gage.
We love it, baby loves it, and that is the most important thing that baby is happy in her “new buggy” and loves to go for rides to “school, park, errands, dinner etc”.
Thanks

well i haven’t ran with it yet so i cant say anything about that. but what i can tell you is it works i did a little jogging with it here and my daughter doesnt seem to get bounced around. i like that the snack tray comes off. the wheels i am not sure about yet. i hate the front wheel for sure i can’t move it well all the time and when its locked even harder to move around stores and such. it is bulky but useable it fits in my trunk with ease and i have a grand prix. i might suggest it to friends depending on what they are looking for. i will update more as i use it a little more.

After 5 minutes with this stroller I realized what I need… and what it’s missing. It makes me wonder if they even gave this to parents to test. After a month of having this stroller I hate it. My baby looks so uncomfortable in it!! It has no padding. The sides of the stroller where her head could rest is a hard metal bump! DO NOT BUY THIS STROLLER> I tried to change the number of stars I gave it but AMAZON won’t let me! It’s awful!!
Cons:
No viewer in the “shade” to see baby while you’re running. I had to run to the side of the stroller several times to check on her. – To fix this I cut a hole in the top where i wanted it and afixed a clear vinyl from a craft store with some adhesive velcro. Problem solved.
The “shade” itself was worthless. Instep has made much better in the past to keep sun out, now they just want you to buy the bigger one seperate. Which I did and it’s massive!
No tether
Does not recline very far- strollers that recline all the way double for changing tables for me!! This is a great feature if you can find a stroller that does this. This one does not and I can’t think of any way to modify this!
Underbasket won’t hold big 15 items… for the 15 items or less trip to the grocery store. My graco did.
Seat back is not very padded, baby looks uncomforable. I’m going to jimmy rig some kind of padding for her little sleepy head. I ended up buying a snugli thing that fits in 5 point harness strollers. But now she’s too big for that !! once again, i hate my stroller.
The seat does not lock in position so kiddos lean forward and rock the stroller during a temper tantrum.
No padding on the sides… so she can’t kick-it to the side and nap like in her Graco.
The bug net is poor quality and doesn’t fit snuggly over the stroller like you’d think. My baby just likes to grab at it and put it in her mouth. I Trashed it!
Button for locking and unlocking swivel wheel is right above the wheel… not on the handle bars like some strollers offer so you can’t easily adjust for changing terains (Baby Trend has the feature on the handle bar) Plus, my wheel would stick when I put it in swivel mode. A little WD40 fixed that right up!
There should be a pocket on the back of the seat for storage.
Pros:
2 cup holders for mom and dad!
Very light for a jogging stroller. I litterally folded it with one hand and picked it up and put it in my SUV without having to bend over. Great design there.
Plus it automatically locks when you fold it which saves you from the flip open problem most jogging strollers have. Which is also great for airplane travel when checking the stroller plane side.
Simple touch maneuverability when the wheel is fixed and on swivel (once I lubed it). Narrow/high handle bar allows great control. (I’m 5’2″ and was very comfortable jogging and controlling my dog)
