    Probably the first question you need to ask yourself is: fixed or swivel front wheel? If you are planning to actually used the stroller for jogging or running, get the fixed one. The swivel model will shake very badly while running on gravel. In the other hand, the fixed front wheel doesn’t turn at all; you need to push the stroller in the direction you are heading but it handles very well on tough terrain conditions.

    Here my review for this model:

    I need to know what type of stroller will take care of my baby while I’m running. Last think you want to have is any bitter surprise. I fully disassembled this stroller and I found a solid chassis with a nice set of wheels. Overall balance and stability is pretty good. The baby’s seat is in fact some type of polyester fabric which is screwed into the chassis. This is good and bad: is good because it is firmly attached to the stroller, it is bad because removing from the seat for a wash is not easy thing; you better get a power drill.

    The under seat compartment is spacious; plenty of room to take with you any stuff you may need handy while exercising. The front wheel has a break handle attached to the stroller’s handle, easy to access and helps if you need to make a stop. I say “helps” because it won’t be enough to make a complete stop; you need to help a little too.

    The stroller’s handle is comfortable and allows good steering while running. The stroller’s design is definitely a plus for tall guys because your steps won’t kick the stroller, there is enough space.

    If there is something that is a complete disaster in this stroller is the 5 point harness: 2 shoulder/chest straps with no cushioning at all with a loop at each end thru which you need to get the waist belt. That is a nightmare. They could have designed a little better. I decided to make a stop at the local crafts store; I got some plastic snapping hooks and black strap and I replaced all the harness system and installed strap cushions in both shoulder and the waist belt. This is something that I would strongly recommend you to do it.

    Also the stroller doesn’t come with any seat/back/head pad or cushion and while running, you cannot afford not to have good cushioning for your baby (you cannot always avoid all potholes or rocks on the road right?), therefore I got some extra pads for the back, seat and head. Although the stroller comes with rear suspension (which is a plus) I still believe that you baby needs something soft that will improve the overall suspension (same as your car).

    My overall review is a 4 because I think this is a pretty good deal for the money. You may get more gadgets if you pay more, but it doesn’t make the stroller better or more secure and that was my primary concern. I would give them a 5 star if they would have designed the stroller with a better harness system, so I’ll give them 4 starts and save one for the new harness sysmte I built.

    Have fun with your baby.

    The other reviews I’d read almost caused me to not buy this stroller, but I’m glad I did. For such a low price, you get a great stroller, that comes in great condition. Very easy to assemble, and lightweight. I can only think of two very minor things that I am not satisfied with: 1) the front tire rim was very slightly out of true when the stroller arrived, but it honestly doesn’t affect the stroller’s ride at all. 2) Compactibility – Sure you can take the wheels off every time you take it anywhere, but that is a pain, and if you like to drive somewhere new to hike or jog with your child (like my wife and I do), then you almost need to. We can barely fit it in our car’s trunk when removing the front wheel only. Overall though, these issues are trivial when compared with the stroller’s strenghs: Goes anywhere (snow, mud, streams, whatever), comfortable for the child, very smooth ride, lightweight, multiple storage compartments (1 small, 1 large), hand brake, sun sheild.

    This well-priced 3-wheeler is excellent on pavement, grass, and gravel. It takes potholes well, and seems quite sturdy. It’s not for use in stores or tight spaces, as the turning radius is quite wide. The harness is the only thing I don’t like about this stroller: it’s very difficult to fasten around a squirmy baby, and the straps are not particularly adjustable.

    I was so excited to get this running stroller. I was rather shocked to see how cheap it was, compared to the other running strollers. I really didn’t expect such a nicely built product! I had done my research on many others. For the price, this is an exceptional product. It’s not really lightweight to lift in and out of a vehicle, since I have to travel to where I actually use it. It does fold up very easily! It has 2 locking brakes for the rear tires. I had to learn the hard way to make sure you have the brakes locked all the way down. I thought I locked the brakes and when I went to put my son in the stroller, the stroller was rolling half way down the road. I got so freaked out about it, that it took me two more weeks to get the nerve to try it out again.

    There is some minor assembly required. It uses actual bike tires, that do need to be pumped up prior to use. The hand brake has to be adjusted before you use it; it’s just like a bike brake.

    There are two cup holders and a small compartment to put your keys or something in it. I found it was great for my water bottle and my mp3 player.

    The seat doesn’t look too comfy for the little one, but apparently it must be. The stroller moves so smoothly over pavement, that my little guy was asleep approximately 1/4 way through my walk. I think it has independent suspension on the tires, because the stroller doesn’t bounce at all and I walk/run on bumpy paved road.

    It’s very smooth and easy to push; not at all like a normal stroller. The handle is padded and feels good to grip. It takes some getting used to running with, if you’ve never run with one before. I’m just started out and it’s an adjustment for me, but it moves so smoothly. I love it!

    It has a small netted basket at the bottom for putting a small bag or other stuff you need to carry. It also has a nylon strap that can go around your wrist you when you’re running, it’s an extra safety measure if you accidentally let go of the stroller, I guess.

    Really the only problem I had with it, is the sun canopy/shade cover adjusts, but when you move it forward, the back part doesn’t have any support to stay up on its own. I found myself hanging onto one of the straps that tie it to the handles, just to keep the sun out of my son’s face. I would recommend the manufacturer look into making the canopy more sturdy on both ends, so that when you’re facing the sun, the canopy can be adjusted properly to block out sun from your baby’s face.

    Overall….I would rate this stroller 5 stars. I would definitely buy it again and highly recommend it for the price!!!

    PROS:

    -Adjustable handle: I am much shorter than my husband so the adjustable handle was a must.

    -Straight: we have had no issues with the stroller pulling one direction or the other. It has always traveled straight on course for us.

    -Adjustable canopy: the shade is fantastic and a must have. It can be unzipped and detached for additional coverage. It sometimes collapses on its own while running, but you can fix that problem by unzipping it.

    -Parent tray: great for its musical abilities. You can play music while running, but the parent tray only holds 2 small bottles and weighs about 2 lbs by itself so we don’t use it.

    -Pedometer: great and useful, but unfortunately it does not come with a time or a clock.

    -Seat and straps: nicely padded and my 3 month old seems quite comfortable and they all wipe off very easily. It is very easy to recline the seat when he falls asleep without waking him up. It’s a smooth transition from sitting to lying down.

    -Storage space: there are all sorts of storage spaces and the mesh bag by the handles it great to hold my cell phone, water bottle and keys.

    -Wheels: good size and easily removable. The pump that comes with the stroller isn’t great, but it is just enough if I need a quick fill up when I am out.

    -Fixed front wheel: stable and perfect for running as it should be on a jogger. It took us little time to learn steering the jogger.

    -Ride & breaking system are great.

    -Weight: lighter than other joggers (after doing some research online)

    -Length: this stroller is not super long like some of the Schwinn joggers can be

    -Consumer Reports: this stroller is one of the top rated and has great reviews.

    CONS:

    -Parent tray: there are two cup holders, but they are too small for the bike water bottles we use. Moreover, the tray itself is about 2lbs so it adds weight to the stroller. But again, it is great for parents that enjoy listening to music while running.

    -Folded stroller: when folded up the stroller is huge, but you can easily remove the front wheel. (About 23 x 37 without removing the front wheel.)

    No stroller is perfect. You may like or dislike some of them, so you just have to find the jogging stroller that is right for you at the right price.

    My husband and I are really satisfied with this stroller and recommended this exact same one to our friends.

    My sister got this for my daughter, and we love it. It is a little big so when we put it in the trunk we have to take the wheels off, that’s very easy! It can be a little difficult to steer if you’re using it for shopping because it doesn’t have the swivel wheel in the front, but for jogging, it’s perfect!

    I recently ordered this jogging stroller to take my son on walks & run in the park. This is the lightest jogging stroller I found which comes with a storage basket and speakers.

    I am not very good at putting things together but it only took me 20 minutes to assemble the stroller. It is difficult to run with bulky and heavy strollers which tire me out!

    The cushions on the handlebars are wonderful. The canoply opens up a little, just enough to avoid my son from overheating.

    We have been searching for a very long time for a jogging stroller. I have only had the stroller for a few days, but so far, I love it. I put it together myself with just a phillips screwdriver and had no problems. It was extremely easy. The instruction manual also told you how to take it apart when necessary. The wheels come off and it is so easy to do, a kid could do it. I live in the country on gravel roads and needed something capable of handling the terrain while walking my dog and daughter. And let me tell you, it handles the road far better than I could have expected. The wheels are very sturdy and it did not shake or feel unstable in any way. It is so light that you could almost push it with your finger. I love the adjustable handle on it as well as the adjustable seat for my daughter. The cup holder on the tray for the baby seems to be deeper than most which is nice, but the tray itself is not very wide and won’t hold much. The IBaby radio is a neat addition but I’m not sure I will use it much. The pedometer is also a nice touch and I think I may actually find that useful.

    My only major complaint is that the front wheel does not swivel and it will take some getting used to. It could make it more difficult when running on winding country roads because it is not easy to turn.

    Overall, it is a fantastic product and well worth the money.

    I bought this stroller after my delicate designer stroller was getting beat up outside. The jeep is ultra durable especially at our campsite and is a breeze on roads. I feel like my baby is safe when i run and she sleeps the entire time me and my husband walk our 3 mile walking trail on gravel. It is impossible to steer since the front wheel is locked so you have to lean it back and pivot on the back wheels. Might be a problem when she gets heavier. Also it does not fit in my compact or my husbands midsize trunk. We have to remove the wheels which is easy although we noticed the front wheel needs to be put on perfect otherwise it has a crooked wheel and it always turns to the side. I would not recommend as a full time stroller but it is awesome for outdoor grassy and gravel ground.
