 dangerous problem!May 20, 2008
I have had this stroller for about a year and a half and I have always loved it. I use it several times a week without any problems at all. It folds easily and handles really well. UNTIL.... a few days ago I walked my son to the park and the stroller sat in the sun while he played. I guess the metal frame got too hot or something (even though it didn't even feel hot to the touch) because as we were walking back home the frame totally bent. The stroller fell over, the tray popped off, and my son almost hit the ground. Good thing I had him buckled in!!! And good thing my mom reflexes let me get my arm between him and the pavement before he hit his head! We were just walking along, going slightly down hill, and it just collapsed! I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else so it may just have been a fluke with my stroller, but be careful. InStep will definitely be hearing from me!
 A fantastic stroller for the money!May 13, 2008
A fantastic stroller for the money!
We went from a Peg Perego Pliko P3 to this, this stroller is much smoother over sidewalks and road gaps.
It was easy to assemble, folds up for travel, and best of all, is easy to use and has a fantastic smooth ride.
Very high quality, nice 5 pt seat belt harness... rear locking foot brake (locks both rear wheels at the same time.).. Adjustable grab bar...
Thick quality well made covering.. this thing is made to last.
Best of all my 4 month old fits in it well and enjoys it! We use it for both walking and running.
The only thing I found lacking was the sunshade. I fixed that with a cheap clamp-on umbrella from a local drug store for $5. It works far better.
Its been a few weeks now, and I am still really happy with it!

Good stroller, smooth ride... 90% happyApr 24, 2008
My son just turned 4 and I was looking for a stroller that would provide a good comfy ride for him when we go on walks or short runs. He's in the 10th percentile for height and weight and there is more than enough room for him to sit or lay comfortably in it. It's been about 3 weeks and I am very happy with the purchase. The ability to change the height of the stroller handle was a nice surprise, as I didn't realize that when I made the purchase. When I first took it out of the box, the instructions seemed less than helpful but it was all pretty obvious once I got started. I like that I can lock the front wheel for stability during runs or unlock it for walks that zig zag around the neighborhood. It is very smooth and handles bumps, rocks and sand pretty easily. I am 5'4" and I have more than enough room to run behind it. I don't feel as though I'm going to kick the back or stumble. The tether is nice little piece of mind so if I did trip or stumble some, the carriage wouldn't roll away. My only two complaints are 1) the sunshade is absolutley useless your out for a standoff at high noon. My son likes to sit forward and doesn't always use the back rest so the shade doesn't help at all. I've read that others have bought an extended shade so I might look into that. 2) the brake bar falls as we walk/run and you start to hear it. There are screws that can be tightened so it's harder to engage the step brake but when I attempted this I just ended up stripping the phillips head screws so it's still a problem and has been a slight annoyance, when I'm running to slow down a little for a few seconds to "kick" the bar back up. maybe new screws would help this problem. Over all I'm very happy with this stroller, my son looks forward to walks and runs in it.
Great all around stroller for active MomsApr 02, 2008
I bought this stroller for myself and loved it so much I bought it for my sister as well. It is great for going just about anywhere- the zoo, the mall, the park, and in the woods. The front swivel wheel makes a huge difference in geting around tight places. I use it for power walking and jogging around the block and it is great. I am not a fast runner so I am not sure how it would respond at a runners speed. This stroller has good storage, love the cup holders and basket underneath. I have used it for 21/2 years and its holding up well, the baby car seat even hooks in it and I am now using it for my second child. Folds up enough to fit the back of the SUV.
Great stroller!Feb 05, 2008
We bought this stroller for both exercising and general use. When you lock the front wheel it works well as a jog stroller and when it is unlocked it works well for a general purpose stroller. The only negative is that I did not find the seat back rest adjustment very user freindly. It is rather tedious to adjust the seat angle up and down. Other than that a great product.
