Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I recently bought this item in preowned excellent condition. I have a Jeep single jogging stroller that I love, and was excited to find this one, which had a similiar front swivel wheel. The colors (brown w/ orange and aqua accents) are appealing, much more so than other jogging strollers out there. I will say upfront, that I don't plan on jogging/running with this stroller, rather walking around the neighborhood, and other outdoor activities (like our upcoming Disney World trip). My kids are almost 4 and almost 2 years, both of average size for their age. My 4 year old's head is a little close to the top, but he fits just fine otherwise. I haven't experienced an issue with my kids leaning inwards into eachother like some of the other reviews mention. My kids actually like being side by side since they are used to being one in front of the other in our day to day double stroller. I'm pretty happy with this stroller, especially since I paid 1/2 the retail price since I purchased a pre-owned. It folds up pretty easily, I like that the front wheel can be locked (needed if ever going up or down steps), and it seems sturdy enough. I'm sure a BOB is much higher quality, but I didn't even consider spending that kind of money b/c I'm not sure how often I'll actually use this stroller. It's definitely NOT an everyday type of stroller! You will be disappointed if that's your intent. In my opinion, it's great for outdoor, or even in large indoor spaces, but beware- it's difficult to manuver through tight aisles/displays often found at smaller stores.
Faults:
1. The storage underneath is pretty useless since you can hardly access it (unless you literally bend all the way over to try to fish for whatever it is you need.
2. No parent cup holders!
3. No child trays/cup holders
4. Quite wide, it does fit through my front door (yay!) but it's a really tight fit with some store doors.
5. Sun canopy is pointless, as it hardly covers the childrens' heads.
Customer Review: I LOVE this stroller and would buy it again!

I have owned the double InStep Safari stroller for about a year and I LOVE it! It's my favorite stroller. (I have an umbrella stroller, universal carseat stroller, Jeep all-weather umbrella stroller, and in the past I've had a Graco Metrolite and a Sit N Stand) It's SUPER easy to push with just one hand and it holds kids up to 100 pounds combined, so both my girls still fit it in. (My 4 year old is 42 inches tall and she can still fit, although her legs are too long and she has to fold them to the side and her head just touches the canopy) The seats recline individually and you can do either 3 point or 5 point harnesses. It is easy to collapse. I HAD to have a stroller with a front swivel wheel since I don't jog with it, but I think you can lock the front wheel in place for jogging. The only downside is that it is heavy (almost 30 pounds- lighter than my 4 year old) but I don't have a problem lifting it in and out of my van. It did fit in the trunk of my car (Mitsubishi Galant), but it was the ONLY thing that fit, so it's not really compact. But it would be hard to find a double jogger that is!
It doesn't have a cup holder, but it has a small soft "organizer" that hangs from the side and it is perfect for your keys, phone and camera. It has a big enough basket underneath for the diaper bag, your purse and a couple of other things. It fits through a single doorway fairly easily, sometimes you have to angle it, but I've never not been able to go through a door- although it is easier when it's a double door. It seems comfy for the kids and they like riding in it. And they have both fallen asleep in it. I have had to drape blankets from the canopy to shield them from the sun (we go on walks regularly with it), so I might consider getting one of those sunshades this summer.
I gave it 4 stars b/c of the sun shade and b/c of the bulkiness. I would recommend this to my best friend (and I have!).
Customer Review: Instep + run + swivel = NO shaking!!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
If you're looking for a double jogger that you can run with on swivel, this is it! I read lots of reviews and even the most expensive strollers had claims that they shook badly when walking fast or running with the front wheel in swivel position. I decided to start inexpensive (figured I'd return it if I didn't like it) and went with this stroller. I couldn't be more pleased! I wish my SUV handled as smooth and easy as this.
The only major drawback I'd say is that it doesn't fold very flat. That is because the way the frame is shaped to accommodate the swivel wheel. If you have a Ford Expedition, it will NOT fit in the back, even with the front wheel off. At the mall, this stroller was MUCH better than my front/back double Safety First stroller which I had to manhandle to push straight, let alone turn. You won't be able to fit everywhere, like in the smaller stores, but should be able to maneuver the department stores with no trouble.
Other pros: infant harness and head-bumper, one-hand folding, stand up when folded, fold lock, wheel locks, swivel optional, seats recline (with drawstring), all 3 wheels detach easily, safety wrist strap (in case you fall), velcro-close pocket for parent's stuff
Other cons: the sunshade is small, no consoles, 2-sectioned basket on bottom is small, when folded and standing up the handle gets scratched on the folding mechanism, after 2 uses I need more air in tires but maybe I just didn't add enough the first time
GREAT STROLLER!! While it's not perfect, I doubt that any stroller could possibly get a higher overall grade from me.
Customer Review: great for price

I was happy to find a good deal here for a double jogger stroller. I do not jog with ours but we used our older version for busch gardens, walks, disney etc and hated that the wheel didnt swivel in the front, so I am very HAPPy to have a front wheel that swivels. its sorta heavier than our older one and i so wish they had a better parent tray type thing or areas for larger cups and things and a bigger shade for the kiddos. But besides that my tall five year old and four year old sons love it and did well in it on our first outing recently. I did order the BOB parent tray thing to use for it and it does help some... i did like someone here recommended and put the other one down there for the boys to put their cups but their cups were too large and spilled over so maybe smaller cups would work i dont know... my dh is tall and didnt mind it was a lower handle he was also happy about the front swivel wheel! I like the bar too because makes it a little more difficult for them to jump out hehe since they are long legged which helps us but you can take it off if wanted as well so it does remove... I was glad to see the reviews here to help with things to order extra for it and the part about it closes better without using the clip for closure for fitting in the trunk... i do wish all the colors were marked down and not sure where there was one for 150something as it says prices started at as i didnt see any that price but for 160ish we thought it was a good deal!
