Good Jogger, Great Value
By D. Dacko
I bought this jogging stoller after reading all of the reviews. I was looking for something that I could take on a prairie path and off on a trail near our home. I have to say that there are so many Jogging strollers out there, and some of them priced very high. I knew that I didn't want to spend a great deal, but yet I didn't want to sacrifice comfort either by buying a cheap jogger. So here is my experience with this stroller, as well as my opinion on whether it has lived up to my expectations.First off, putting it together was very simple. It didn't take much time at all, but as I will mention later, I was missing a part which was a little frustrating. I have been using it every morning for a mile moderate paced walk, with the swivel wheel engaged. It's great! I live on a street that is curvy and this stoller allows me to push it with ease around all the curves and bends. Unbelievably easy to control. I have also used it on the prairie path which has a white sand/pebble surface. It's great for that, too. When I know I will be jogging a straight path, I lock the front wheel so that I can have better control of the jogger. It has thus far been great with the swivel and in locked position. I am very happy I went with a jogger that has both options. I have also used the stroller at the mall and have appreciated the easily accessible basket under the stoller. It's very spacious and has come in handy. In addition, the swivel wheel is even great at the mall, as it has allowed me to manuever through the ailes pretty well. At times, however the size of the rear wheels have gotten caught on racks, but for the most part I really prefer it over my regular stroller at the mall. I think I've even begun to use it more.A few very important notes about the stroller. When I received it, it did not come with the front fender. They forgot to include it in the package. I had to phone Instep (apparently they are associated with Schwinn) and jump through a few hoops to get one sent out to me. However, once I got a hold of a competent representative, she was very helpful and promptly sent out the missing item. I think I received it within two days. So that was fast. Next, I want to say that I purchased a few accessories which have made me like the product even more. I purchased the extra padding for the seat. I believe it is a must have. My 15 month old was obviously much happier once I added the padding. It does make a big difference in comfort, and to help him sit up a little more. Many will complain that the seat is a little too far back, and I would agree a little. But adding the padding made it better. My son does not complain much and actually falls asleep in the stroller during our morning walks. But as I said before, he definately liked being seated in the stroller much more after I added the extra padding which I think is around $15.00. I also purchased the electronic gizmo that tracks speed, distance, time, etc. I really like that, too, because it helps me keep track of my morning walks and my progress. It's a nice perk if you think you'll use it. I must add that it is a little tricky to install, and the instructions that come with the model that Instep sells are written poorly. Finally, the only thing that bugs me about the stroller that is the reason I gave it a 4 is that after it's folded (which is very simple to do) it is a bit awkward to put it in my trunk after it has been folded because it doesn't lock in the folded position. I think that would be a nice added feature. I can't tell you how many times I've lifted the thing up into my trunk only to have it open and clunk me in the head or pinch my hand. I just haven't figured out an easy way to keep it folded and pick it up for transport. That's just my experience with it though. So anyway, I really think that it's a great price, a good product, and it does live up to my expectations. It's not a fancy one, but it certainly performs for the casual jogger and everyday user. I'm very pleased with my decision to go with this jogger. Good luck!

By J. Bronson
For those of you who want a great go anywhere stroller, but can't wrap your mind around paying $300-500 for a BOB Revolution - this is your stroller. It's easy to put together, has plenty of storage, easy to push, and most importantly to us, easy to steer. We had a fixed front wheel stroller before this one, and got fed up with constantly having to raise the front wheel to make a turn. Now with the swivel wheel, we feel comfortable taking it into the grocery store, which is very convenient!Pros:*Swivel wheel - unless you do a lot of distance running with your stroller a swivel front wheel is a must.*Canopy - Provides good coverage, and can be detached at the top so it can pivot down in front of your child - important when walking towards the sunrise/sunset*Storage - Huge bin below, zippered pocket behind child, parent tray, kid tray.*Adjustable handle - I'm 6'2, wife is 5'2, works great for both of us.*Kid tray - It's easily removed if your little one won't use it yet, but makes such a huge difference for our 2yo - sometimes we'll go for a walk, just so she'll eat something!*Easy to assemble - You'll have it ready to use within 7 minutes of taking it out of the box. Also means it's easy to break down to pack for a trip or store.*Weight - Lighter than most similar strollers at the same price range. Perhaps a touch heavier than the expensive strollers - but not much.Cons*Quality - If you can't afford a BOB Revolution or other high-end stroller, don't go try one - you will notice a difference. The Freewheeler lacks the polish of the BOB, and some of the features aren't as easy to use. That said, the Freewheeler will do everything the BOB does at half the price.*Folding Mechanism - While it folds relatively easily in a single motion, you will probably struggle with it a little bit. With practice you will do fine - but if you plan to put the stroller in the back of your car more than once a day, you may want to think twice. It's just kinda klunky and awkward when compared to the $300 strollers.*Seat angle - My kid is 2, and has no troubles - but if you have an infant you will have to improvise some padding to make your child comfortable.I have no doubt that this is by far THE BEST jogger-stroller for the money. Now you just have to ask yourself: How much are you willing to pay for something better? Unless the answer is nearly double, I'd pick the Schwinn Freewheeler.

I have had this stroller for only a few weeks, but I am very impressed. It is light to push--ideal for walking with his big sister to school each day and for taking jogs. The front wheel swivels when walking for easy mobility, but can be fixed for jogging so that the stroller doesn't shimmy. The bonnet is nice and long and provides a good amount of shade, and the bonnet's top window (which allows you to peak and check on the baby) has a little cover that velcros shut over it to keep the sun out when needed--I wish my other strollers had this! Best of all, the handle easily adjusts up and down, which means neither I nor my 6'3" husband are hunching over trying to push this, saving us many a backache, and the basket under the stroller is sufficiently far forward not to impede either his or my stride.All in all, I really love this stroller. My only reservations are these:1)As with every other jogging stroller I looked at, the cup holder in this one is too shallow, and we often lose our water bottle when we go over curbs or around corners. Luckily, it tends to fall out sideways and not onto the baby's head, as was the case with one of the other strollers I saw.2)I'm not so sure the "easy one-hand fold-down" function is so easy or one-handed. I only tried it once and wasn't successful. Since I don't travel with this stroller, it didn't concern me. Perhaps if I had been more persistent, it would have been more-or-less easy, but it definitely is not as easy as the EvenFlo travel system stroller we have (which is the stroller we do travel with).3)I ordered the weather shield and bug shield designed to fit this stroller from their website, and while they are very nice, they came with no instructions as to how to attach them. I've been able to drape them and cover the baby adequately, but I don't think I yet have them on as the designer intended. I can't seem to find what the velcro attachments are supposed to go around. Instructions would have been appreciated!Those minor concerns kept me from giving 5 stars. This really is a superior stroller--especially at this great price.
