Sports reviews of InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller (Yellow/Grey/Black)
Customer Review: Love this jogger!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
For the price and free shipping, I still cannot get over what a great deal this stroller is! I love the swivel wheel for walking and then the ability to lock it for running. My kids are 30 months and 18 months and they generally handle sitting next to each other fairly well. I really like the see-through top though for when they get at each other. I appreciate the baskets underneath and the soft pouch console, too. The baskets are just big enough for the basic needs of either running or a quick trip to the mall. Sure, it can't handle great big diaper bags or too many shopping bags, but then again, it's not really designed for that. The cup holder in the soft pouch is perfect for a bottled water or drink but paper fountain drinks with straws are a different story. There again, it isn't designed for that. My one "complaint" that I hope can be improved in the future is the shade. It simply isn't adequate to protect their little eyes from the blazing sun if you're running between 9am and 7pm. We live in Florida and I have to base my runs on a north-south direction because of this. It's easily solvable with the purchase of a Ray-Shade, which I will soon be getting, I just wish I didn't have to bother. Oh well, not too big of a deal. Anyway, hope this helps you decide! Oh and one more thing...we drive a 4-door midsize sedan and this stroller actually fits in the trunk!!! Nothing else fits with it, mind you, but that's okay!!Customer Review: Great for the Price, however...

I got this stroller a few weeks ago and have walked plenty with it. It is so easy to maneuver and push. It is so agile! The seat backs do lay back a bit, which is a little weird for my almost 3 yr old, but is fine for my 6 monther. I had my heart set on the BOB duallie, but with a $500 price, it wasn't an option, this is a fine alternative. THe color combo is awesome-and the swivel wheel is incredible. I will never buy a jogging stroller without a swivel wheel after using this one!! It is a tad on the heavy side when folded, but it is still doable-
I do have some suggestions for InStep though, if anyone from there is reading my review!:
1. If you are going to continue to make a sun shade, at least make one that is functional that will actually
provide shade!! No sense wasting money producing the current shade version, it is practically useless. Charge a few bucks more and make a great one (I have a BOB single stroller and the shade is incredible!!!)
and
2. Provide some type of mesh pocket within the child's seat for them to put a water bottle/snack etc. There is great parent storage under this stroller-but nothing for the kids to utilize! (I ended up strapping the little parent console part onto to the bar in front of the kids so that my toddler can keep her snack there. It is an ok solution-but now I have nothing, and often her snacks/cups fall out.)
Customer Review: LOVE IT!!!!!!

OMG! I LOVE this stroller! I am walking about 7 miles each day sometimes more and I have been using a tandum stroller. It was killing me trying to push my 4 yr old and 2 yr old in that thing! Just got my new Safari Double Jogger today and OMG it is a DREAM!!!!! So much easier to handle...turns on a dime and is well worth the money! MY kids don't want to get out of it! LOL The seats are adjustable and my kids seem quite comfortable. It comes with a little parent cup/key/cell phone type holder that attaches to the stroller which is perfect for what I need when we go for our walks. The storage baskets are roomy but under the stroller so they are a little hard to get into but that is no drawback for me. The only thing I am a little uneasy with is the weight of the stroller. I have a suv so it is a little heavy trying to lift it up into my 4-runner without scratching it on the bumper and I also have to take off the one back wheel to get it to sit more steady. It is just sorta hard to grasp onto to lift but it is an awesome stroller which I would tell anyone looking to buy! I expected it would be a little heavier than what I am used to but I think the more I use it the easier it will be to lift and handle. I LOVE it! So pleased!!!! The colors are also very striking and it is a very sharp looking stroller!
Customer Review: Worth the $$

After a lot of research on what stroller would meet my needs and budget, I settled on this one. I wanted a swivel wheel and the weight capacity. After using it perhaps a dozen times with my 34lb almost 3-year-old and my 7-month old, here are my comments:
Pros: easy to assemble; handles very well despite the weight difference; folds down small enough to fit in the trunk of my 2002 Grand Am; plenty of storage room underneath; soft parent console easily fits a water bottle; binky, keys, and extra toys/snacks; would definitely recommend it especially for the price.
Cons: my 2-year-old is rather tall for her age (80th percentile) and her head all but hits the sun shade (we usually just keep it down and wear hats) and there isn't really a good place for her feet; although the seats recline separately, they don't sit up very far, so it's a bit awkward for my oldest (we usually put a blanket or jacket behind her and she does much better).
In general, excellent stroller for little ones. It is a bit small for my 2-year-old, but we make it work. We use it mostly for long walks and the occasional jog, and the girls love to be outside together.
Customer Review: Love it!

I have a 1 & 2 year old and was using the heavy tandem stroller. I am a jogger and needed something lighter to push and that turns easy. This is it! Very easy to push, turns very easy and VERY easy to put together. It is a bit heavy but I fortunately don't have to tote it around, just leave it sitting in my garage and put the kids in it when it is time to run. The seats don't sit as upright as the kids would like so I have put a travel pillow behind each of them. The sunshade doesn't come up far enough and I have been researching purchasing one, but they so far all say for twin strollers even though they show a double in the picture? I knew each of these things when I purchased it from reading the other reviews so I wasn't surprised to agree with them. It is a very good buy and highly recommend it if you don't plan to take it to the mall and try to weave in and around clothes racks. It is truly best used outside w/little need to manuever in doorways, etc.
