Sports reviews of InStep Ultra Runner 2 Double Jogging Stroller (Green/Lt Gray/Black)
Customer Review: A good buy for the price
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This stroller is light weight, easy to maneuver (the non-swivel front wheel is best for those who walk at a fast pace or actually jog), and has nice large, inflatable wheels for making it over big cracks in the side walk and jumping curbs. It has sufficient storage areas and is very sleek and sporty looking. The kids enjoy it for our evening jogs.Customer Review: 2nd Instep double stroller purchase.

This is the upgraded version of the 10K model they used to make. I have had that model for 4 yrs, running with 2 kids and 2 dogs 5 times a week.
I am an avid runner.
I ran it into the ground. I broke off the right side frame lock because I didn't secure it correctly.
The rear suspension is good for other than road terrain, the wheels are a great size for a jogging stroller and I like the fact the front wheel is NOT a swivel- what a pain when running.
Lots of storage for bags/cameras/water btls/blankets.
My kids are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 and the older one still fits when the seat is in its most upright- fits even better when the seat is reclined some.
My big beef with this new model is the absence of padded seat liners that they used to include on the older models.
This is bogus. They of course sell them for $20 each, but hell, charge me $20-$30 more for the stroller and include them.
I will be calling and complaining to Pacific Cycle about that decision.
I took the old ones off my 10K model, washed them, turned them over and will use them.
That is the reason for the 4 Star instead of 5 Star- without the pads, the seats are not going to be very comfy.
Other than that, the 10K was SOLID and this model is a spitting image. I ran that thing all over, took it hiking, to Disneyland, etc.
Folds up nicely and even flatter if you remove the quick release wheels.
I have no idea why you would want a brake on the handlebars on a stroller. In all the running I have done, up and down major hills I have never, NEVER needed to use the hand brake. In fact I had disconected it on the old model and totally forgot about it.
It is not like you ever get to going the speed of a bicycle and would need that kind of help with braking and I believe your feet are on pavement when running- I tend to use the "Flinstones" method of stopping the stroller.
Fred's method not Barny's, don't be ridiculous.
The stroller is rugged, sturdy, not demasculizing and light.
The canopy is ok, but sun is going to get into their faces when you are running into it. I turn the stroller backwards and run pulling it in these instances. I haven't seen any canopies that would really be much better at sun blockage in early mornings.
A very good value for around $200, just horrible seat pad decision from the manufacturer.
Customer Review: Jogging Stroller
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This stroller has been perfect for us. It is very easy to push and maneuver even while pushing a 2 and 4 year old. I use it strictly for walking within my neighborhood on sidewalks. The few times I have had to go 'off-road', it was still manageable but I don't know if I would do it for long distances. The sun shade is very large and provides adequate coverage. There is ample storage underneath the stroller as well as a smallish soft holder you can attach to the handlebar that can hold keys or a cellphone (or a small water bottle). My complaints: the seats do not have a lot of back cushioning. If you have children who like to sleep in the stroller, you would need a blanket to cushion around the head and back. Secondly, you have to take the front wheel off to put the stroller in the trunk. (Although I believe this is pretty standard with double jogging strollers.) Lastly, the handlebar grip is already starting to wrinkle and tear slightly in a few places. However, complaints aside, I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone who is looking for an easy-to-push stroller for exercising.Customer Review: Completely Satisfied

I researched many of these strollers some costing $500. I settled on this one and am very happy. It was easy to put together, rolls easily, does not pull. It is quite roomy even for my tall 2 and 3 1/2 year old. The cupholder accessory is very useful, the storage below is adequate. The only issue is the padding or lack of at on the seats. The seats are slung around an aluminim frame. My 3 yo sons head lands right on the frame and he complains immediately. The lower edge of the seat where their thighs rest gets uncomfortable over time. I made some cushions with memory foam and they are very happy.
I am a very picky consumer and would definitely buy this again.
I gave four stars only becuase of the cushioning issue.
Customer Review: Stroller is great
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The stroller has been great. It has a lot of storage and my kids love it. In fact, my husband has been using it. The only downside would be the position of the seats. My youngest wants to be more upright but the seats don't allow for that. My older son, however, is very comfortable. My dislike is the 5 point safety belts. They are difficult to use. Both my kids are very thin, approx 21 lbs, and it is hard to strap them in. It was enough for me to consider sending it back. But all the other great features are why i kept it.
