Sports reviews of InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller
Customer Review: Instep swivel double jogger
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Got this stroller for my 2 year old and newborn daughters. I wanted to use it for a running and an all-purpose stroller. I love it!
Pros: The swivel makes it easy to stroll or jog and steer with one hand - the swivel feature is a must. The wheels are great for bumpy roads and snowbanks. I can fit lots of groceries in the basket underneath(although excessive weight causes it to snap off). The seats recline easily, which is great for the baby. The seat covers come off easily to wash. The stroller is heavier - but all joggers are. It folds easily and the wheels come off for putting it in the trunk very easily. I can fit through any door that is handicap accessible and most buildings have a handicap accessible door. Fitting through doorways has only been a problem for me once and then I just folded the stroller and went in sideways.
Cons: There is no child snack cup. I ended up putting velcro on the front bar and velcro on a small tupperware and sticking that to the bar. The sun shade does not block the sun very well. I ended up purchasing the Double Ray Shade, which works but does flop around on windy days.
In addition to the Double Ray Shade, I also purchased the Graco Double Rain Shield which works great for rain or cold weather. The girls stay toasty warm under it. I also purchased the BOB handlebar console which fits GREAT. It holds my phone, keys, two waterbottles, etc.
Overall, I LOVE my stroller. It's very functional; we go everywhere with it and the price was great too!
Customer Review: Awesome Double Stroller!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am in love with this stroller!!! As a parent of 10 month old twin boys, this stroller is FABULOUS!! I was looking for something that would withstand the bumpy roads around here in Alaska (my driveway is a mile long dirt road, putholes and all) and this stroller is manouvering on it like the best! I don't even have to lock the front wheel (i think I can if i wanted to) like some people suggest to do when going over rough terrain with a stroller. The boys seem to be comfortable in it too. I was pleased to see it came with a bug net (many misquitos here!) and a little cupholder bag for mom. Unfortuntaley it does not have any cupholder or any sort of holder for the boys to put anything in, but I can most certainly live with that. I did buy a raincover for it (I believe it is a Graco brand for double strollers, and it fits perfectly). I love the harnass system, I feel that my boys (who are super squirmy) are very safe in it....the little peekhole on top of the canopy is ideal to keep an eye on them, and the seats recline easily for when they fall asleep. The stroller is easily folded and doesn't take up more room than my single Graco stroller for my daughter. Overal....a GREAT stroller for an AWESOME and AFFORDABLE price!!Customer Review: Easy to maneuver, compact, great deal for the price

I had the Instep double suburban safari (last year's model), but the front wheel wobbled terribly and would get looser and looser as I walked with it. Instep replaced that one with this newer model. I began to have the same wheel wobbling problem with this new stroller; however, my husband removed the footrest and was able to easily tighten the nut holding the front wheel on. And voila, everything worked well, no more wobbling. That was a few months ago, and the wobbling problem has not recurred. I wanted this stroller for long walks (3-4 miles) but not for jogging. It is lower and a few inches narrower than last year's model, which makes it even better for me because now i can go through narrower doorways. It is a great stroller. And it is compact enough when the back wheels are removed (they can be removed and replaced with ease) that it fits in the trunk of my 2002 Prius. There were some other comments about children's height (mine have no problems since they are only 6 months old), but everyone should note that the manual says that the maximum height is 38". I think this stroller will last me a good long time, until my babies are at least 3. So it is a great buy.Customer Review: Great Running Stroller!

I don't really write reviews for things--but I had write one for for this stroller. I bought it 2 years ago. I wanted a good running stroller but I really couldn't feel good about paying $500+. I love this stroller!
I've taken this stroller EVERYWHERE--and put ALOT of running miles on it. I've tested by friend's BOB stroller and saw few differences as far as steering, mobility, and ride. I actually prefer the InStep bc the BOB separate seats seems to squish my boys (who are taller for their age) in the seats.
The sun shade definitely needs to be improved. We live in CA where it's always sunny, so I slather them with sunscreen. The screen is good for resting my Ipod on or sippy cups.
And because I didn't shell out $600, I'm not so paranoid about taking it on airplanes, leaving it while we play at the park, keeping it on the porch, etc.
I love to run and my boys love the stroller--so it's a great match. If you're looking for a good double jogger but don't want to take out a loan, this is the perfect jogger for you.
Customer Review: Very Nice, for the price.

I really wanted the BOB tandum stroller, but the Cost is little over what I want to spend on a stroller. When i saw this stroller, I was very hopeful! NOW, I am so excited, i just got it through Fed Ex this morning, and already took my first walk with it. The swivel wheel is awesome for tuning sharply and getting where you need to go. You don't have to worry about uneven sidewalks, and other terrian, this stroller just rolls right over them very smoothly. I was a little concerned at first my bar across the front was not attaching very well, so i called the customer service # for the stroller, and the lady was very nice and got to speak with an associate very promtly, she helped correct my problem and i was on my way. Altogether, I'm so thrilled, having just had my second child two months ago, I can get back into my regular exercise routine! Very smooth, easy to use and easy to esemble. Thank YOU!!! Oh, I got the Chocolate/ blue. Works very well with having a Boy and a Girl. LOVE IT!
