Although I've only owned the Schwinn Free Funner Pro for about two weeks, we probably have near 100 miles on it already. Below are my pros and cons for the product.
Pros:
When I saw the size of the box it arrived in, I figure "some assembly required" was an understatement. I was happy to find out that all I needed to do was remove the packing materials, pop the tires on, and inflate the tires. The tires are quick release, as are the front brake pads, which make this stroller's ease of set-up great.
Another plus, I think, is the bright orange color. Not only will vehicles see you coming from blocks away, I'm pretty sure you can see this stroller from space.
The child seat is very roomy and our six month old daughter is able to bring an assortment of toys with her. On either side of the seat area are smaller compartments for water bottles, stuffed animals, or binkies. I'm sure she'll fit in this stroller for years to come. The back of the seat can be adjusted from almost 90degrees to almost flat which is great for sitting up or sleeping.
The under seat storage is of ample capacity and there is also a small zipper storage compartment on the seat back itself.
Pushing the stroller is a breeze and it handles terrains such as cement, gravel and grass with ease.
Cons:
The child tray is not permanently attached and removing the child from the stroller seat usually ends with the tray in the dirt.
The adult tray near the handlebar is almost useless. The beverage holder is not nearly deep enough to hold your average water bottle and the other part of the tray has no lid. A few bumps and everything comes flying out.
The zip-out weathershield makes the canopy look somewhat bulky when stuffed into the canopy. Unless stuffed neatly, the canopy doesn't quite extend down as far as it should.
The under seat storage hangs roughly two inches from the ground; it needs more clearance. Be careful what you put in the the small zipper storage compartment on the seat back itself as a set of keys or a cell phone would easily make any passenger uncomfortable.
Overall, I think this is a good product for the price. A few design flaws, but it fits our needs as an every day jogging stroller.
