Sports reviews of InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller
Customer Review: Not perfect, but good enough
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I just got this stroller and went for my first walk yesterday. It rides really smoothly, so the walk itself was a pleasure. Definitely missing parent tray, and I agree with one of the reviews-storage at the bottom is very hard to get to, relatively small, too. Canopy-disaster! Did not protect from sun, so my kids were sun tanning all the time, I did not like that. My daughters are 17 months and 6 weeks old, older one seemed to be fairly comfortable, but not much room to grow. Soon her head will probably touch canopy, also the seat did not appear to be roomy, but she had winter jacket on, so maybe that is why. She is average kid, rather taller, but definitely not chubby.
Before we ordered it, we read lots of descriptions on different websites, and every one gave different dimensions. It was critical to us, since we only have Honda Civic, so were worried if it would fit in the trunk. IT DOES! With no problems, too, even leaving room for some more small stuff. It is a little heavy, but quite compact as for what I would expect from a double jogger. I am guessing this is the reason we have to sacrifice all the trays, holders and other gadgets.
My girls weight under 40lb total, and sometimes it was hard to push - uphill or downhill (then the stroller was "too fast"
Customer Review: Very Pleased
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I just received my stroller 2 days ago and am more pleased then not with the stroller. I read all of the reviews before purchasing and was a little concerned with 2 of the components (sun visor and child seat backs) but after owning 2 different double strollers (tandem and expedition jogger) my MAIN concern was needing a jogger (because I actually jog- not walk) that would be easy to push, light weight and have a great swivel tire. And to my surprise this stroller is by far one of the higher end joggers that allows you to jog easily without any strain. Because I read the reviews I wasn't shocked that the sun shade/visor isn't adequate so I already ordered a kiopotamous attachment. I would have given it 5 stars if they visor would have been better made. I also am not totally impressed with the way the seats move back and forth but my kids dont seem to mind it (2 1/2 and 8 mnth) and I'm sure I will get use to those in time. Also, it was super easy to put together. If you are looking for a jogger in this price range that actually allows you to jog and is easy to push then this is a good buy. They just need to re-do the kid visor.Customer Review: Solid Stroller, especially for the money
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
And by solid I do mean solid. This is a heavy stroller. I don't have a problem moving it in and out of our van (not too bad for my tall wife) but for some people it could be tricky.
Many have mentioned the ineffectual sunshade. I agree. We bought a flexible shade that works fairly well if there is minimal wind.
This is a cost-effective choice. For the money it is a great value. There is decent storage underneath, and I found the strapped-on cupholder on the handle adequate for our needs. It is not the "tray" described in the literature.
The wheels are sturdy. I was glad to have actual tires. This makes for a nice ride for the kids (1 & almost 3) who have never seemed uncomfortable.
It would be nice to have some kind of cover for the shoulder and leg straps. We used receiving blankets when my daughter was smaller.
We took it to the beach last Saturday and it was great on the sand. When the kids wanted to walk it held all the gear, a plus for a hot day.
I recommend it highly. The 4 star is for the weight and sunshade. The value more than compensates, but the product itself is still 4 stars.
Customer Review: Good double Stroller, Great Price!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Just received the stroller and assembled it in about 20mins. Sturdy construction as well as having features that weren't given in the description, ie the front wheel is capable of locking into place as well as freely rotating. After reading a couple reviews I was worried about the "leaning seats" issue. Not a problem, seats can be individually raised to about a 85° angle, maybe they just didn't read the manual.
The only beef I have with the stroller is the actual beef of it. It is not compact by any means which is typical for a jogger. Folded down I would estimate the size to be about 2.5ft wide x 3ft tall x 1.5 deep. It takes up a lot of space if you,re planning on taking this thing on a vacation. But other than that I have no issues with it and would highly recommend it. If you don't care about the colors you can get this for a steal here w/ free shipping. Hope this helps.
Customer Review: I like it, don't love it.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
While the stroller itself is good quality, easy to put together, there are just a couple things that would be nice, the shade doesn't cover anything, and my two year olds head hangs over the top but he doesn't seem to notice, I wish it had a parent tray, but I guess you can buy those seperatly. but it does push really nice, I keep the front wheel locked b/c it shakes if you are going on a fast walk. and the colors are really cute, lots of compliments, the bottom holder is really small so as long as you aren't planning to pack a lot it is good, all in all it is a good stroller for the price.
adding to my first review, afer having it for a while, I still like it, however the front wheel fell right of in the middle of a walk, we barley hit a bump. I was able to shove it back on even though the metal was bent.
