InStep - Safari Double Jogging Stroller, Rose 4.6 5 25 27
Gets the job done for the price This stroller is a good value. It was very easy to assemble. It is easy to collapse once assembled and fits easily into the hatchback of our Dodge Journey with room to spare. It is not too heavy, but somewhat difficult to pick up however.The stroller seems to be of average durability. The sun shade is useless, I purchased a kiddapotumus UV double jogger stroller sunshield for $20 that is much more effective. Also, the Wal-mart product description claims there is a child snack tray - there is NOT any type of child tray - only a bar. I know that strap on trays are available for about another $20 - so if these features are important to you add an extra $40 to the purchase price when making comparisons. The parent handlebar compartment is convenient and holds a waterbottle & sippy with no problem, but it is kind of flimsily held on with a velcro strap. The undercarriage storage is adequate - I can carry 4 gallon sized zip locks stuffed with diapers, spare clothes, etc as well as a standard box of kleenex. However, all things must be removed each time you want to collapse the stroller to load it into your car.The front wheel feature is fabulous. Locked I have no problem jogging. Even in the locked position it maneuvers well (think curvy bike paths). Unlocked it turns on a dime. The wheels handle off-terrain well, but only at a slow walk. The stroller does not veer at all, even if I only jog with a 30 lb child on one side. Also, you only need one finger to push. The only thing that I don't care for is that the handlebar doesn't adjust at all. I am 6 ft tall and at a walk I am comfortable, but at a jog I have to lean over a little. I would say this stroller is designed for 5'4 to 5'10.As far as the size, it will fit through any handicap accessible doorway - but JUST BARELY - you've got to be lined up and hit it straight on. I haven't had problems with exterior doors and handicap bathrooms, but interior doors or tight turns won't work. I have a 30lb, 3ft two year old that seems to just about max out the size of the seat. Her head almost touches the sun shade. I also have a 3 month old which the stroller works well with. I add a kiddapotamus head rest $10, and was able to jog with the infant staying safe & comfortable.Overall this stroller does everything I wanted - I can exercise with both kids, I can get it in the car, I can use it at the mall, the zoo, etc. The only things I don't like are the lack of child tray and poor sunshade design. For the price, I would definitely make this purchase again along with the above mentioned accessory purchases. 05/16/2009
LOVE THIS STROLLER I have a 2 year old and a 3 month old. This stroller is heaven sent. I love it and so do my girls. I read complaints about the sun shade so I ordered a bigger sun shade and now I wish i had not. The sun shade works great and I live in Texas. It even has a little window in it for you to see your kids. My two year old loves that. I am only 5'2" and 100lbs and I have no problem pushing, lifting or folding up this stroller. In fact I can steer with one hand, no problem.Two things others may not like but does not bother me. It does not come with a child snack tray and the parent console is almost use less. I already had a snack tray I just snapped on mine and you can order a better parent console if that's important to you.Also, the stroller fits perfect through my front door so I am not worried about being able to fit through store doors.We really love this stroller!!! 06/16/2009

LoveLoveLove the stroller! The Stroller is great. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and the stroller is so easy to push I run and walk with this stroller, and I use one hand and it is still so easy to push! I still take it to the mall and shopping its harder to get through doors, it fits you just have to go slow through the doorways! My only complaint is i Wish the sunvisor came a little lower than it does to cover more of my girls faces and give them more shade! but I guess thats what hats and sunglasses are for! I love this stroller and highly recommend it! 08/21/2009
