Review 1 for InStep - Safari Double Jogging Stroller, Red

Totally excited and happy!

After seriously researching double jogging strollers, I purchased this one and got it today. I love it! My almost 3 year old fits in it great (we are due with #2 any day). It is very easy to steer, and not terribly heavy. I was concerned with the foot rest being too small, but after watching my daughter in her single jogging stroller, she always draped her feet off the side anyway. Plus the foot rest is bigger in real life and shouldn't be a problem for 2 children. My husband had it assembled in about 15 minutes and we were off! Cup holders for the parents are great. I was debating between this stroller and the baby trend navigation with 2 front wheels, also because I currently have a single baby trend jogger, but really this one is better. It is such a smooth ride.
I can't exactly figure out why the green, pink and yellow strollers are more "grand" than this one.....seems silly to spend extra money on the color. Do yourself a favor: quit looking and reading reviews and buy this stroller. It's really great!

This stroller is very nice. It fits my two kids, 3 year old and 1 year old, nicely. When walking it works perfect, and the kids enjoy it. When running, however, the seats fall back making it hard for the kids to see out, and the wheel wobbles quite a bit when unlocked. If you lock it, it makes for a smooth ride, but then it is much harder to turn corners. Otherwise, for the price, it'll do the job.

I was so impressed with how great the jogger maneuvered with both of my children in it! My kids total approximately 50 lbs (a 3 yr old & a 10 mth old) - and not only do they love it, I love it! I finally get to have both my kids with me while I get in a great run! Thanks!

I haven't used this stroller yet, but am very anxious to. I'm excited b/c it is lightweight and has a swivel front wheel, whereas my other double stroller did not and was difficult to manuver...had to lift the front end to move it where you wanted to go.

This stroller is great! It was easy and quick to assemble. I love how the seats can recline or sit up, that way my 2 month old can lay down but my 16 month old can sit up. The 5 point harness buckling system is great for my toddler who tries to escape sometimes! The sun shade can be completely pushed forward so the sun stays off the front of my baby and I can see him from behind the stroller. I love the reflectors, the trays have built in cup holders which is perfect for my 16 month old. I glides so easily... I can hit bumps, pot holes, or go over gravel without startling my napping 2 month old. I folds up pretty easily and the back wheels snap off super easy to make it fit in my Mazda car. It also, which I wasn't expecting, came with a leash typle rope to attach on that goes around your wrist so you can always be in close contact with the stroller! Which I love for mall shopping, if you have to take a couple steps away you still have a hold of the stroller with the leash and don't have to worry about someone coming up and wheeling your kids away!

I love it. Its better then the other double strollers that do the back and front. The side to side helps me keep a better eye on the kids. Its adjust to their liking is comfortable to move around really easy to push and maneuver.. Best stroller I have ever bought.

You get what you pay for.

If you want a basic double stroller to use in the mall, then this stroller is fine. But if you are interested in running with this stroller, consider a better brand such as a BOB. This stroller can be hard to push while running on a trail, especially one that is not paved.
Also, I have had problems trying to get the stroller to lock in the open position and also close. I have already had one of the tubes in the wheels blow out after only 6 months of use. You get what you pay for.

about 3 inces too wide to make it through a doorway of any kind. A bit frustrating with 2 babies.
Used it twice.

Reasonably priced. Comfortable for my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter and 6 month old grandson. "Drives" easily. Nice red color. A bit bulky and heavy, but fits in the trunk of my 2007 Ford Taurus just fine, as well as my daughter's 2003 Taurus.

Review 11 for InStep - Safari Double Jogging Stroller, Red

Very smooth ride, but the basket design?

04/29/2013

Ok, I'm gonna ramble and try to cover everything. My kids are 3 years and almost 1 year. I bought this stroller since I have a third kid due in a few months. I could usually get away with my single stroller just fine but with 3, time for a double stroller. I am VERY happy with this purchase. I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on one of the fancier brands even though I hear people raving about them.
Pros: ~I have done a little running with this stroller and it's a very smooth ride. EASY to push even one handed.
~Easy to turn one handed.
~Plentiful cup holders (one for each child and 2 for the parent with a tray that has a lid
~Cost. I'm kind of cheap. If I can get a decent quality product for much cheaper that the fancy brands, that's what I'm gonna go for.
~Seats are comfortable and separated a little to keep those sibling fights to a minimum. They recline and sit up incredibly easy.
~FITS through doors! Amazing! I actually looked at the measurements of the widest point listed of this stroller when shopping and made sure it would at least fit through my front door. Yes, it's a bit of a squeeze, but I find it amazing that it'll fit at all.
~Plenty of storage in the basket. It has a divider down the middle of it, which I didn't think I would like but I've changed my mind. I use it to separate, toys from snacks, sunscreen, diapers/wipes.
~Easy to close. You'll need 2 hands and a foot but otherwise it closes smoothly.
~Easy to lock the wheels
~Individual sun shades with peak-through windows that can be pinned open.
~Easy opening of the trays to let older kids in and out. My 3 year old likes pushing the little button and lifting the tray out of the way himself. Each side opens individually.
~The buckles snap and unclip easily. Great design on these. for the 5-point harness in my single stroller you needed to clip the belt together first, then clip the shoulder straps. And take the process in reverse to get kids out. Annoying. These are incredibly easy to pull arms through and clip. Just like a car seat harness (minus the chest buckle).
Cons:
~Um the bar in the back? Really? The basket is nice and big. However, there's a bar that runs right through the gap between the bottom of the seats and the top of the basket. So instead of having easy access to that big basket, there are 2 4 inch gaps. I can fit a soccer ball into the basket but you have to find a big enough gap and shove. Seems like that could have been designed a bit better.
~When running, the front wheel wobbles. It's less if you tights up the bolts up there, or you can run with that front wheel off the ground (actually not too difficult, the weight of the kids is balanced well), or you can lock the front swivel wheel (so you'll need to lift the front wheel to turn)
~The kids cup holders are kinda shallow. When running/jogging the kids would kind of toss their sippy into it and sometimes they wobble and fall out, causing me to slow down or stop but not a big deal.
~Didn't fit my infant carseat. Honestly, I didn't really expect it to. I have one of the Safety 1st infant seats and it's kind of big. My 11 month old was sleeping when I needed to go shopping so I had to take her out of that seat to put her in the stroller.
~ Adjusting harness straps is a little bit of a pain. If you have different kids riding and need to adjust the harness straps its a tiny bit of a pain. I usually just keep my 11 month old buckled on one side and my 3 year old just rides unbuckled. He hops in and out anyway.
~I'm not sure I got the correct safety strap. There's supposed to be one that you can attach to the stroller and then around your wrist. Mine was just a strap with a loop on one end. Was it supposed to be like that? How does that work? I just tied another loop on the other end to put my wrist through. It works.
Unexpected benefits:
~I did a 5K with the kids and a friend with her kid this past weekend and it turns out, if the kids riding move their feet over, a 3rd kid can sit on that foot rest in the front. :D I know, probably not incredibly safe. Don't wanna run with them up there but it was nice they could when they got tired and it was STILL easy to push. That's with 40ish lbs on the front wheel, 40 in one seat, and 30 in another. Not bad.
~I like the design of the parent cup holders and tray. It's separate from the handle bar so it's never in the way and creates a good bar to hook on my stroller swivel hooks or one of those mommy hooks to carry shopping bags, water bottle, etc.
I hope I was thorough enough for those looking into this stroller. I love it. My only real complaint is the bar across the basket. But oh well.

I love this stroller! It's easy to push, and comfy for my 18 month old and my 2 month old. I simply roll up a blanket to be sure that my infant is secure and off we go! I have jogged and walked with ease and it fits through just about every door I've attempted! Very happy with this product

Excellent stroller for the price! I absolutely love the two cup holders and trays for the kids up front, and the closed compartment with cup holder that is attached to the handle. This closed compartment provides a great space for keys and phone. The stroller is a little on the heavy side, which is expected for a double jogger. I read other reviews about how the seats sit further back than anticipated, the seats do adjust with a strap and you are able to raise them so the kids are sitting nearly straight up.

The stroller moves good but its way to big does not fit in my trunk. so if you need to travel not good. If you are using it to go for walk or jog outside of your house then good (if it fits through your door).

DO NOT BUY THIS STROLLER!!!! I recently purchased this stroller and I only used it about 8 times and the tire went flat, keep in mind I only use it at the mall, I haven't even got the chance to jog with it yet, also the storage place is very small, its hard to push, and hard to put in and out of car (speaking for my husband and I) the only good thing about it is the cup holders which it has 2 on top and 2 for the kids. hope this helps you

This is a terrific stroller. I took it out for a jog and couldn't believe how easy it is to push with my 4 and 2 year olds who weigh 32 and 44 pounds. My graco infant carrier will also fit in it but does not lock in place. However, I don't think it will fall out. My complaints are the same as the others, the front piece isn't wide enough for the kids feet to rest comfortably and the seats don't incline enough. They want to sit up more.
