Jogging Stroller,

So far, so good. Only had this stroller for 2 weeks. Bought it to take on a trip but it was too bulky to fit in a GMC Envoy with luggage, baby and dog so had to leave it at home. That's the nature of the beast with jogging strollers though. It's worth noting that the harness straps are awkward. When the top strap is tightened the bottom part around baby's legs becomes looser, so unable to tightly secure my ~18 lb 8 month old. It doesn't seem too loose though. It may be too soon to say, but satisfied overall.

Best Stroller EVER!!!,

It was super easy to set-up (like 20 minutes at the most). It rolls basically by its self, it stears like a Ferrari (a.k.a. like a dream), and it has so much room for our daughter! We use it when we go running, walking, shopping, or whatever. We never take our normal stroller anywhere anymore. It is so comfortable that our daughter likes to take naps in it. *Tip: Get a bike tire pump to air/pump up the tires on the stroller!

I looked around for months until I settled on this stroller. It is reasonably priced, has great features, and is nicely designed. I hated the instructions, they were difficult to understand but it was relatively easy to assemble. I'm so glad I got this jogger! I can finally get decent workouts thanks to this stroller, hooray!

I've been admiring jogging strollers for a while worrying that they are too expensive especially nice I already have the travel system stroller and an umbrella stroller; however, every mom is worth it! It's worth the money if it gets you out of the house with your baby for fresh air :) This was a nice mid-price stroller and it works great for jogging or just being able to walk briskly without your baby being bounced around. It glides when walking and is really nice. It's certainly not decked out with deluxe features. I do wish the compartment on top was a closed area but it wasn't going to keep me from buying it. Overall I'm very happy with it and I think you would be too.

Love this stroller, it is exactly what I was looking for. I just like to jog every once in awhile instead of walking and this stroller does the job. It turns great and is a very easy push. My daughter really likes to be in it too. The only thing that I don't like, and it is very minor. Is that I cannot find a water bottle to fit and stay in my holder. They all flop around or fall out. The holder is not deep enough! Also would be nice if the childs holder was permanatly connected to the stroller, instead of having to take it off and on. All in all I love this stroller!!

Everything is great with this stroller, I love the option of having a fixed or swivel wheel. I rides smoothly when I jog and walk on trails. My 3 month old son fits in it well. The only issue I have with it is one side of my handle bar seems to be higher than the other, but it is really hard to tell if it is, or if I am just seeing things!

This stroller is great and meets all my expectations. I have had no problems with the wheel shaking when unlocked, the sunshade is larger than the Instep stroller and blocks the sun well also the cup holder for the adult is larger than the Instep stroller so, it can actually hold a cup. I used the built in weather guard one day when it began to rain and found it very useful. The only fault in the stroller is that it does not have a way to lock it closed when folded up for transport but it really isn't that big of a deal. I did a lot of research before I choose this stroller and spoke with a lot of mom's about strollers they were using and hands down this is the stroller to get.

I like this stoller. It rides very smoothly and the sunshade is big enough to keep the sun out of my daughters eyes. One set back is the back brake lever comes loose over time. You have to press it down to lock and lift it up to unlock with your foot and after so many times of doing this it starts to wear out and becomes loose. Then it would just fall down as you're walking and hits the sides of the wheels. So my husband had to tighten it again. Other then that I do like this stroller and it is a great quality, smooth ride stroller.

I at a lot of customer reviews before I selected this jogger. I liked that it had a large sun shade, a wheel that swivels or locks, and plenty of storage space.
I jog with the stroller several times a week and my 14 month old son falls asleep every time.
I like that it has a window in the sun shade so I can see what he is doing. I can move it down in front of him if we jog past a swarm of bugs and I don't want him to get hit in the face.
There is basket underneath, a zipper portion on the back of the seat, and another net above the baby's seat where you can put things.
It is very easy to push as well.
I do see what people are talking about when they say the seat reclines too much but it's really not that bad. At first when I put my son in it he wanted to sit up straighter but as soon as we started moving he was content to lounge back and enjoy the ride.
The straps are a little difficult to tighten but it's nothing I can't manage.
Overall it's a great buy for the money. I really like this jogger and would recommend it if you are looking for something to run with but don't want to spend a fortune.

I have been shopping for a jogger for awhile and have read reviews upon reviews for months. I finally stumbled on this Schwinn at WM.com. I used WM Site to Store delivery and was extremely happy.
I'm sure there are better stollers out there, but for the price and considering the useful life of the product, I chose this model. The aluminum frame was a real asset in my decision when thinking of loading and unloading this into the car. The stroller rolls without much effort at all, and I love the option of locking the front wheel. As far as features, I think the Schwinn is pretty standard - cupholder, tray, smallish storage area under the seat, etc. It does come with a zip-away rain fly which is nice not only for rain (really, who's walking their kid in the rain!), but I use it more to keep the wind off of my 1 year old.
The reason I would not up my rating to a 5 star is that when locked the front wheel veers slightly to the right and the rear left tire is not true - it wobbles quite a bit. Neither of these issues is a deal-breaker for me, but I will be addressing them with WM soon. I am hopeful that I will not have any trouble fixing the problems.

I've only had this stroller a couple weeks, but I already love it. * Price is excellent! You don't have to spend a lot to enjoy some great features. * Site to store shipping was faster than expected. * Set up out of the box was easy. * LOVE that the front wheel swivels or can be locked in place. I can't imagine having a fixed wheel. * Love that it has the rain cover built in. * I wish the sun shade had a little fold down flap, or stayed firmly in place when positioned forward for those times when you're going toward the sun. * I wish the drink holder had grippy lips so the tall water bottled didn't fall out. * I wish the storage tray had a cover to keep things from falling out too. * Ample storage in the basket beneath. My little doggie loves to ride in it. * The zipper pocket on the back is helpful. * My little one doesn't seem to have a problem with the seat positioning (6 months old). * It is a breeze to push - very smooth - goes over curbs, garden hoses, rocks, etc. with no problem. Almost seems to glide, after pushing a regular stroller. * I'll keep a small bungee cord to keep it closed when folded for easier loading and unloading from the car, but really, they could design some kind of remedy for this. *I've only had it a couple weeks, so I can't really speak for the durability, but I've had no problems with it yet.
All in all, I would totally recommend this product and am very happy with it so far.

I walk with 2 other ladies twice a day on a 1/4 mile gravel track. The umbrella stroller was making it difficult, especially since I wanted to start jogging. So I got this...
It is smooth to push, even on the gravel, will easily go through bumpy grass, over flipflops that my older ones left out, maneuvers through my house with ease, has storage Everywhere, holds everything I want (tissues, chapstick, waterbottle, cell phone, toys, toddler snacks, etc), plus my friends' things. I cannot get over how awesome the swivel wheel is...
Before I got the stroller (about 10 days ago) I was worn out on jogging after a quarter of a lap (1/8 mile). Today I ran 2 1/2 laps with no problems!
My friends like it too. In fact, one of them is expecting hers to arrive any minute now!
My ONLY complaint is the lack of instructions and lack of serial numbers and such.

I looked for three weeks before buying this stroller online. I considered a BOB but they were very pricey. I didn't see that this stroller was any different from them so I thought I would try it. I am an avid walker and I have two other kids that are in alot of sports activities, so I knew this would be used very much. It was very easy to put together, me and my nine year old son did it in about 10 minutes. I put my four month old in it and stroll everywhere! The canopy is really nice and comes down pretty far to block out lots of sun and wind. It is very smooth and we love it.

I purchased this stroller for my little guy for when we take walks and am very pleased so far. I rated the durability as a 4 because it is brand new and it seems to be quite durable (not much time for anything to go wrong). I am very pleased that the visor is totally adjustable and can be bent down toward the front to totally shelter a little one from the sun. The seat seems very comfortable and I like that it is quite airy so they won't get hot. It was very easy to put together (my 13 yr old daughter did it without help). I definitely would recommend this stroller to anyone needing this type! Enjoy!

I can't believe I waited so long to own a jogger. I read a lot of reviews for several strollers and this one had consistent good ones. I really like it and would recommend it. I have to say though, I can't figure out if the seat is suppose to sit up better; I stuck a pillow in it so my toddler can sit up comfortably.

I've run with this stroller about 5 times now with my 9-month old in cool, windy October/November weather. The ride is very smooth, but the front wheel tracks to the right a bit. I believe I can fix this, so I wouldn't call this a negative. The basket underneath is nice, but I don't find it useful when running on the road as dirt and debris can get in it. It would be nice if the compartment on the top had a lid for phone, keys, pacifier or anything else that should be dry and protected but close at hand. I either use the net pocket behind the seat or have a pocket in my clothing. I used the weather shield once and it seemed to protect my baby from a chilly wind. I like the "window" on top of the canopy for viewing my baby. On our last run (about 4 miles on a balmy day), my baby loved looking around and then napped most of the ride. Overall, I'm very pleased so far and found this Schwinn to be a good value for the price. This stroller was recommended by a dad we met at a local 5K race.
