Exceptional Value - I really love this stroller January 8, 2007

This stroller is fabulous, handles well - easy turn with wheel swivel, very little rolling resistance, stays on course, great adjustable handle. I love the pouch on the back, the canopy funtions well, etc. For the money you just can't beat this thing! The downsides - 1) could use a wrist strap - the rolling resistance in non-existent - if you forget to put on the brake and let go, bye-bye baby. 2) the storage basket could be slightly larger (this is a multi-use stroller, not a straight jogger, so I would like a bit heftier cargo capacity). 3) The baby harness could be a bit cushier, it is perfectly functional, just a bit bare and slightly tough to use.
Overall this is great, if you are looking for a stroller for walking around the neighborhood, jogging on paths, going to the store in, etc. I would highly recommend it!
Awesome stroller March 10, 2007

I love this stroller and it has been getting me off my butt to take walks with my son. The swivel wheel is a dream...it veers to the left a bit when walking, but you have an option to lock the wheel when going for walks or runs....I just choose not to and I'm sure it can be aligned. I was amazed at how easy it was to push this stroller and the handle height is perfect for my 5'10" husband and myself (5'7"). My son is 2.5 yrs and he loves the stroller. He even fell a sleep in it when we went for an evening stroll. The adjustable recline of the seat is great although I wish it could sit a bit more upright (I took off half a star for that). The bottle holder is a bit shallow (as one reviewer has also mentioned) and my water bottle falls out at every major bump (there goes the other half star), but there is a little pouch in the back. The stroller is a bit bulky (as expected) and we have to take off the wheels to fit in the back of my car (lexus sedan) and my husbands car (navigator), but the wheels easily come off on and on. Just expect to put in a little effort when trasporting this stroller to malls, recreation and amusement parks. But the effort is worth it once your all set. The stroller manuevers well in malls. It's nice that the front wheel is situated under the foot rest so it doesn't need extra clearing room when pushing through aisles and stored in the mall. I researched the heck out of all the swivel wheel jogging/walking strollers (thanks to all fellow amazon shopper for their reviews) and I must say for the price you get superb quality. Why pay more when this stroller has everything you'll ever need. I am very satisfied!
 Great price for a good stroller November 17, 2006

I was happy to find a jog stroller with pivotable wheel this affordable, and I have not been disappointed. The stroller is light but sturdy, and handles great on dirt paths and city streets. I love walking with it. When we first got it, one of the tires kept getting flat. I called the 800 number and they sent me a replacement inner tube at no cost. This stroller goes everywhere and I was able to use it with our baby from about 3 weeks on--just had to put a rolled-up blanket around his head to support it. I also bought the rain shield for it, which is great for our Northwest winters.
 Not as good as I expected May 28, 2007

This product was not as good as I was expecting from the other reviews. There are a couple of reasons why I am not exactly thrilled with this stroller. 1) It is not a one hand release to fold it up like it says. You also have to push a foot release to fold it up (which they don't tell you in the directions). 2) Another thing is that the sun shade does not move so when I am running toward the sun, my son is completely in the sun. To solve this problem my husband had to attach a new shade and drill holes in the stroller. 3) One more thing that bothers me about this stroller is that when I am running the foot brake slowly closes and slows the stroller down and makes an annoying sound. I have to constantly stop and pull it up so I can run. 4) One more thing, is that sometimes the stroller does not want to stay up when I try to unfold it. One side will lock into place, where the other side does not want to latch and I have to keep putting it down and pulling it up really hard for it to lock completely.
One thing I do like, is the swivel wheel. It makes it very nice to go from running to walking. I also like the adjustable handle, although when I had my other one without the adjustable handle, I was fine with that one too.
As you can see, I have not been to happy with this stroller, although there are a couple of positives. If I hadn't paid $40 for shipping, I would probably return this stroller and get a different one.
Decent stroller for the price October 20, 2006

This stroller is a pretty good value if you're not looking to spend a lot of money. I happened to get a great deal here at Amazon ($99 plus free shipping!) so I can't complain too much. I don't use the stroller for jogging, but for taking long walks on some pretty bumpy terrain. It performs well due to the large rubber tires and my daughter seems very comfortable in the nicely padded seat. The snack tray is also a big plus for her. A couple of minor negatives... the parent cupholder is kind of shallow so my water bottle tips over whenever we hit bumps. Fortunately there is a little storage pouch on the back of the hood that you can use for water, keys, phone etc. Also the brake bar tends to drag against the wheels (very slightly) after going over a few bumps. That is something my husband can probably fix if I remind him. :) Overall I would recommend this stroller for anyone on a budget.
