Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Lightweight, easy to handle/assemble. My 19 month old loves it. He usually falls asleep when we go for long walks. The only thing is I wished the harnest straps were longer.Customer Review: stroller

This stroller handles well on sidewalks in the city, though I wouldn't recommend it as a straight "jogging stroller" because it does not have a safety tether. (The description says it has both a tether and a hand brake. It has neither.) I live in the city where the sidewalks are often broken and uneven. So far this stroller has handled the terrain pretty well. The swivel-wheel makes it very easy to steer. It's not too heavy, but it is a little top heavy. I have noticed it has a tendency to tip easily if I am moving across a grassy hill or something like that.
The seat seems comfortable, and the harness is one of the best I have seen, a five-point number with an easy one-click release. The sunshade, however, doesn't really provide too much coverage for the child, and I wish it had a see-through window on top to provide a view of the rider. The space between the seat and the child's snack tray is kind of tight as well. My toddler fits fine at 18 months, but I am not sure that will be the case in another year.
The handlebar is of average height, and it's covered with some kind of porous foam material that I am not particularly fond of. It's probably supposed to absorb moisture or something, but it's not the most comfortable thing in your hands.
Parent's tray is okay, fine for keys and a phone, and it holds an small bottle of water tightly. The basket underneath is not particularly roomy, just average.
Overall, a fine stroller for the money, just could use a few minor adjustments.
Customer Review: Good Stroller but Simple

I received this stroller in less than a week with free shipping which was great and it took me less than 10 minutes to assemble it. However, when I put my 9 month old son in it to go for a stroll, I was so disappointed. The front wheel was loose AND wobbled which caused the parent tray and the child tray to make this annoying sound. I called "In Step" customer service and I was advised to take the fender off, tighten the nut under the fender and that should take of these problems. After doing so (it only took about 10 minutes total) I took my son out AGAIN for a walk/jog and it worked perfect!! The stroller feels so light when jogging and it is so comfortable that my son fell asleep even with bumps and turns. The stroller is very basic but for the price, it's a good deal. I do wish it had a see through piece on the canopy so I could see my son at all times but it's not a big deal. The basket underneath the seat is pretty large and both parent/child trays are perfect in size too. Overall, after fixing the tire problem, I really like this stroller.Customer Review: Just fine for the price

While our son was little we essentially used this as a travel system, and LOVED it. His car seat clipped in easily, and the stroller is VERY maneuverable. Big, rubber tires make it easy to go up curbs, over gravelly paths, cracked sidewalks, etc. The big mesh carrier under the seat is great for groceries, spare blankets and toys, diaper bags, etc.
I really only have one big complaint with it. Now that our son is old enough to sit in the main part of the stroller, we are fastening him in with the harness, and the center between-the-leg strap is MUCH too short and close to the rear of the seat. When we put our son in the seat, he is essentially sitting on the strap, and because it is so short, we have to lift him up to buckle it, and the buckle ends up UNDER his crotch instead of in front of it. We've looked several times for a way to extend the strap (it's such a well-designed stroller in other respects we have a hard time believing this major design flaw is for real), but no such luck.
