Sports reviews of InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey)
Customer Review: Love it.. but
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We bought this stroller for our 8 month old and we love it. The only but is the straps could be a little more secure, but other than that it's great for the money.Customer Review: Great Jogging Stroller
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a great stroller. Easy to assemble and transport in your car. Granddaughter loves it. I would recommend it.Customer Review: Good stroller, almost perfect.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: My son loves it!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
My son loves it. Granted it is a little hard to turn, but I did opt for the jogging stroller w/o the swivel wheel. My only other problem was that the seat doesn't sit all the way upright, which is great for a young baby that has little neck control, but My 18 month old who loves to look around has to sit up unsupported to see. The seat has an adjustable strap that is used to adjust the incline. Even tightened all the way it sits pretty straight, but not all the way. Regardless, my son likes going for walks in it, it's easy to fold and unfold, it's light, and compact. If I had to, I'd definately buy another one of these.Customer Review: Good stroller, even for walking
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I am not a "jogger" or runner, but this stroller is good also for walking. The one downside (for walking) is that the fixed front wheel means that I have to tilt the stroller in order to turn the stroller's direction, but the stroller seems durable. The back of the stroller seat is also leaned back a bit further (even at its most upright position) than looks comfortable for my child, but it isn't that big of a deal. The shade does a pretty good job of covering my child.
