Sports reviews of Schwinn Free Wheeler Jogging Stroller (Red/Black)
Customer Review: Great stroller for a great price
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this jogger after researching many brands and "test driving" several at the store. I decided on this stroller because of the price and positive reviews. I have been using it since my daughter was 4 months old and she loves it! We go on long walks and sometimes short jogs on bumpy terrain and sidewalks. It seems to be very comfortable for her (she falls asleep every time, whether we are on smooth roads or extremely bumpy trails). It is not very compact when folded down, but still fits in the back of my SUV for the times we want to drive to trails. I love having a place to store my keys, cell phone, and sunglasses in the parent tray. The front swivel wheel seems to work well in either position for me. Like I mentioned above, I use it on long bumpy walks and have done some light jogging with it and it steers fine. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of this stroller and would highly recommend it for anyone interested in getting a quality jogger for a reasonable price.Customer Review: Great Stroller!

After reading about the drawbacks to this stroller, I was hesitant to order it without first testing it myself. I received it a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised. Many of the drawbacks listed in other comments were not that major.
1. Re: size of stroller when folded - My car is a 2000 Honda Accord, and the stoller fits fine in the trunk IF I TAKE OFF THE REAR WHEELS. The other jogging stroller model I considered also required removal of the rear wheels.
2. Re: stroller reclining too much - The angle of inclination can be adjusted by adjusting the straps at the back of the seat to almost any angle you want.
3. Re: difficulty of folding stoller - Yes, the stroller is hard to fold completely with only one hand, but it mostly folds by itself. I think most non-umbrella type strollers will require both hands to fold.
Overall, this is a great stroller. For traveling though, another stoller is definitely required.
Customer Review: Good Jogging Stroller
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We just received our stroller a few weeks ago and we've used it a few times already. It's a great stroller so far. Easy to assemble. Easy to follow instructions. Love the red color. Didn't know it came with a rain/wind clear plastic cover built inside the canopy! So great because you do not have to buy a separate one. We use it anytime it's a bit chilly out. We live in KS and who knows what the weather will be from day to day. Our little 9 mo old stays nice and snug and enjoys the ride. I use it for walking and my husband uses it for jogging. The adjustable handle is great since there's a 9 inch difference between our heights. Smooth ride. The wheel locks or swivels. I like the hard plastic foot rest area for when he's bigger- it will be so much easier to clean than the Bob's cloth one. The seat adjusts to sit our child pretty well upright or reclined. Great buy!Customer Review: Absolutely love it!

I purchased this after careful review of all affordable jogging strollers with a swivel wheel. I usually only walk so it was a must for me. I know that some reviews say that it doesn't fold flat. But after you fold it, push the back of the seat forward and it pretty much flattens out and kind of hooks so it doesn't spring open. It fits in the trunk of my 1994 Corolla! Very smooth handling and we don't hurt our backs pushing since the handle is adjustable. We didn't have any trouble putting it together and no parts were missing. I am going to try the extra padding for my son's comfort but he has never complained and loves going for walks in it. I don't care for the cup holder so I put my water bottle in the nice large basket. We took it to a cruise in and walked around on bumpy ground and gravel. So smooth! I highly recommend this jogger!Customer Review: Schwinn Free Wheeler

I purchased this stroller for my husband to use - but I am trying to take it back for my own use! Folding is easy, but takes two hands. The brake sets and releases with ease and it stears like a dream. My rather tall 2 year old is very comfortable when sitting in it; however, he would prefer sitting more upright. I have tightened the seat adjustment strap as far as I can, but he still is reclined a bit too much. I think I can modify it if I just take the time. The only negative I have found is that it won't fold flat enought to fit in the trunk of my Grand Prix. It is light enough for me to lift it into the back of my husband's truck, and would fit nicely in the rear of a SUV or mini-van. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our purchase!
