Customer Review: double stroller
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This stroller is the best!! I purchased it for my daughter who had a second baby on the way. She had a single jogger stroller for her first child and loved it. So when I saw this one I jumped at it!! One of the best moves I've ever made. Easy handling, excellent folding ability, lots of storage spaces. Her older son loves it.....he can watch his new baby sister sitting next to him.Customer Review: double the enjoyment

We love this stroller!!! With two small children (2yrs and 4mos), it is difficult to find something suitable that the whole family can participate in exercise and other outings. The front wheel could use a little more weight for stability as it will begin to wobble if going too fast. Besides this, great purchase for the active family. Highly recommend!!!Customer Review: Just What I Was Looking For

I was looking for a stroller that was in my price range that had all the features I was looking for. This stroller was so easy to assemble, love the colors, rolls and turns so easily, and I can barely tell I'm pushing anything while I use it. I would recommend this product to anyone!Customer Review: InStep Safari Double Jogging Stroller

We bought this stroller to use while jogging around our neighborhood. We have 2 boys, ages 4 months and 3 years. Both boys fit in the stroller very well, our 3-year-old is comfortable and has just enough room on his "side". We actually started using the stroller last month, when our baby was only 3 months old (a large 3 months, he was already about 14 lbs). Once we put him in it, we felt comfortable with how secure he was in the stroller. Our older son often has a drink and a toy in the stroller with him, and we had been jogging in cooler weather, and the stroller allowed enough room to wrap a thick blanket around our younger son while he was in it, too. There is a large, divided basket under the seats which is easily accessible. We haven't laid both seats back all the way, but it looks like it would be hard to get large things in and out of the basket with both seats down.
STROLLER PARTS: Swivel wheel, overhead shade with velcro window, divided basket under seats, 2 different seat paddings, one-hand fold, removeable wheels for storage, wrist strap, hand brake, wheel brake, large divided pocket for parents behind the stroller, small divided pocket that can hang on the push bar or on the bar in front of the kids, bug net.
PROS: The stroller really pushes like a breeze. My husband is usually the one pushing while we're jogging, and he has no trouble going up hills and maneuvering around our neighborhood. The swivel wheel is great for walking and the stroller makes a complete 360 practically in place. We have a small house and we were able to push the kids around in the stroller and make tight turns in the living room and kitchen. We were also able to push the stroller through our front door with no problem.
CONS: Like many people mentioned, the shade leaves much to be desired. It isn't very big and it's also attached to the frame, so you can't move it to block the sun at different angles. We did end up purchasing the Kiddopotamus Rayshade (http://www.amazon.com/Kiddopotamus-Rayshade-Protective-Stroller-Strollers/dp/B000DZZC5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1239813318&sr=8-1) for it, but just received it and have yet to use it. The swivel wheel cannot be used while jogging (or pushing the stroller faster than a brisk walk) because the whole stroller starts to shake. We also noticed that the foamy handle cover has already started to wear after only using it 3 times (about 5 miles of walking and jogging combined). We bought some tennis handle wrap tape to cover the entire handle with, and hope that it will solve the problem. Aesthetically, the colors are nice (we got the brown & teal version), but I would have liked something a little sportier-looking, like a bright yellow, red, or orange.
Overall, we're very happy with the stroller. Both our kids enjoy riding in it and I can see us using this on other occasions besides just running around the neighborhood.

the stroller is great as far as the construction of it. the fabric is good..some of the velcro looks worn though but still work. the only thing with the swirl is that when i run at a fast pace it moves uncontrollably so i had to lock it but at normal 'jogging' pace and walking it works fine. most if not all swirl front wheel have this issue they arent meant for a regular runner at a fast pace you will have to lock the front wheel. the stroller is lighter then the other one we got from baby'r'us. the only draw back is the sunshade doesnt go any further then what the picture shows. i had to buy an extra sun shade since the sun definitely are in my girls eyes. there isnt a parent tray, it just comes with a pocket attachment which is fine with me but not to my wife. i would buy it again if this one breaks.
