Sports reviews of Schwinn Free Runner LT Jogging Stroller (Blue/Black)

Customer Review: Good Stoller, but not Great
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

I bought this stoller a year ago and continue to use it with my, now 23 month old. It's an okay jogger, but based on feedback from other jogging moms, the BOB is by far the best all around. If you don't have the extra cash to get the BOB, this is a decent back up, esp if your not a marathon runner. I'm a casual jogger.
Pro's
- it rides nice and smooth
- they have fantastic customer service (see con's)
- rain shield is a bonus (though only used it one or twice, as i generally will not head out if there's rain in the forecast.
- handles gravel pretty well
- overall lightweight (esp. in comparison to many others)

Con's
- had A LOT of issues with it vearing to one side or the other ... I followed the directions to straighten out the tire. In the end I'm pretty sure the frame was not aligned properly. Customer service was fantastic & replaced the entire bike w/out question. HOWEVER, the new one they sent did not come with the basket (even though we discussed that I had the model w/the basket) and it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to pull the bar out to collapse the bike. Needless to say, I had them send me yet another bike. All that said, I'm still very satisfied with how customer service handled it ... very prompt, very customer service oriented (something you almost never find anymore). Kudos' to them!
- the pull bar to collapse it is still a little tight and tends to stick on occassion, but at least I can always get it down eventually.
- a bit cumbersome to make turns ... hard turns as well as just bends in the road. In hindsight I really wish I bought one w/a swivel wheel. I don't know who prefers a straight wheel.
- the basket is VERY low to the ground and not very secure.
- it reclines almost a little too far; even at it's most upright position.
- there isn't a locking mechanism to keep it collapsed for easy transferring to/from vehicle.

Thought, I listed a lot of "cons", I still think it's a good bike. From feedback I've gotten re: other bikes, they seem pretty typical (no locking mech., low basket, recline too far, straight vs swivel wheel, etc).

Oh, I should also add that Schwinn doesn't even make this bike ... if that matters. I actually bought this based on Schwinn's reputation, however it appears they have just slapped their name on InStep for marketing purposes (well, I was a sucker, so it worked ... and I'm a little upset with them for that).
