Sports reviews of InStep Run Around LTD 2 Double Jogging Stroller (Red/Grey)

Customer Review: No Complaints Here...
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I have never had a double stroller and don't have anything to compare to, but I am really liking this one so far. It rides very smoothly and my 2.5 year old and my 10 month old ride in it just fine. It's a good workout for working off the baby fat, I agree! I have no complaints for the cost.

Customer Review: 50 pound limit
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

Please note that despite what the Amazon description lists, this stoller is only for children up to 50 pounds. I ordered one and discovered this discrepency. It is a decent stroller for the price, but the seats are not cushioned at all which is a disappointment. I have a tall 43 pound 3 year old and a 6 month old. It will do the job for this summer which is what I needed, but already the 3 year old's head is at the sun canopy.

Customer Review: Will only work a short time--get something else
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

I bought this stroller before anyone had reviewed it, back in May 2008. For the first year it was great, and I thought the price very reasonable (it was only about $154 then). However, when the stroller stops working, it happens suddenly and can't be fixed. We had the same problem as all the other reviewers: the joints where the frame folds suddenly no longer work, causing the stroller to collapse without warning. I think the only reason it didn't happen sooner to our stroller is that we rarely folded it, probably only about 10 times since we bought it, maybe fewer.

I called customer service at In Step, and they said the locking mechanism cannot be fixed because it is part of the frame, and they don't have replacement parts for the frames. They may give us a replacement stroller, but it seems useless to me since it will undoubtedly have the same locking mechanism. I am awaiting word from In Step regarding this issue, and they wanted all sorts of documentation: proof of purchase, purchase date, a written description of the problem, and digital photos of the broken locking mechanism. The customer service person was polite, but SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE. Spend more and buy something that won't collapse under your kids while you are running!

Customer Review: Broke in half after 3 weeks!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

The exact same thing happened to me as sounds like happened to many others. After using it for a few weeks, my wife was walking with our two girls to the library, and the joint where the stroller folds broke. It uses two cheap plastic fittings as the integral joints, which obviously don't hold up. We were not doing anything crazy with the stroller, just jogging and walking with it.

The good news is that I called InStep, and they sent us a new one. However, we have had the replacement one for about two weeks, and it's already starting to bend and flex. I'm giving it about another two weeks before this one breaks and I'm calling InStep again for another replacement. Save yourself the time and money and look elsewhere.

Customer Review: Dangerous Design
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

As I have now read our problem doesn't seem to be unique. While on vacation our stroller collapsed (just as everyone has described) and instictively you try to quickly pop it back in place. Unbeknownst to me our 3 year old daughter's finger had slipped into the locking mechanism (when the stroller started to collapse she grabbed the sides out of fear) and when I went to close it I almost ripped the tip of her finger off. After 6 hours in the emergency room, half dozen stitches, and a ruined vacation we will be contacting InStep, through our family attorney!

DO NOT BUY THIS STROLLER...... I can only imagine if my wife had been jogging when this happened.
