Customer Reviews


1st time jogger owner, 2 thumbs up

Asides from getting a great price on this jogger, I bought it because of all the features. It is lightweight aluminum which is important for me since I am marathon training, not resistance training. It is also equipped with a weather shield and cupholder standard which I though were excellent features. One consideration I was skeptical on was straight v.s. unlockable front wheel.

Now that I have used the jogger for a few weeks....

I am happy with the quality, my baby girl (9 months today) is happy with the comfort and loves going out with me and my wife for running / roller blading. The stroller handles bumps well and generally handles well. I am happy with the speed and ease of use. I have not run further than 10 miles with it yet, but only because my training has not yet called for it. The cupholder is useful on the long runs were hydration is important. The tray is helpful for keys and snacks for the baby. The undercarriage storage is a little weak, but then again I don't plan on using this for jogger for going to the mall so it is not a negative for me (although it may be for someone else). The fold up mechanism works well. I don't have space contraints due to large vehicle but the 20" rear wheels would eatup alot of trunk space. The stationary front wheel is great for control during runs, and since I am not using it for errands I have no need for the front wheel to turn on a dime.

All in all a great value and a good quality item. Would recommend to any of my friends in the market for a jogger.


Great Solution

This stroller is everything I had hoped it would be. I live on gravel roads and also use the stroller over rough areas in my yard and it works wonderfully. The baby is comfortable and the stroller rolls almost without effort.
