| InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey) by InStep Surpassed expectations | | The other reviews I'd read almost caused me to not buy this stroller, but I'm glad I did. For such a low price, you get a great stroller, that comes in great condition. Very easy to assemble, and lightweight. I can only think of two very minor things that I am not satisfied with: 1) the front tire rim was very slightly out of true when the stroller arrived, but it honestly doesn't affect the stroller's ride at all. 2) Compactibility - Sure you can take the wheels off every time you take it anywhere, but that is a pain, and if you like to drive somewhere new to hike or jog with your child (like my wife and I do), then you almost need to. We can barely fit it in our car's trunk when removing the front wheel only. Overall though, these issues are trivial when compared with the stroller's strenghs: Goes anywhere (snow, mud, streams, whatever), comfortable for the child, very smooth ride, lightweight, multiple storage compartments (1 small, 1 large), hand brake, sun sheild. | | InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey) by InStep not happy at ALL | | I purchased the Instep Run Around LTD, received it and opened the package only to find that the grip had big cuts in it. I returned it and was sent a second stroller. When I opened it, same thing, cuts in the grips. I would have thought it was from shipping if there were holes in the box, but there were none. I called Instep and they offered a repair kit, for a brand new stroller. Also, the grips were uneven, one side was longer than the other. I know that this is not a top dollar jogger, but give me a break. It still should be better than all this for $100 on sale. I returned the second stroller also. I will think twice before ordering anything like this again online... | | InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey) by InStep Great stroller for the price!! A+++ | | We love this stroller. We live in a wooded area and our other "expensive" stroller just wasnt cutting it. This is is a GREAT VALUE! I have a little boy and the colors are great too. The only bad thing I would say is it doesnt take corners that great, but that could be typical of all joggers. The hand break also doesnt bring the stroller to a complete stop--esp on steep hills/roads. All in all, I would buy this 10 more times. It's a great buy! | | InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey) by InStep My son loves it! | | My son loves it. Granted it is a little hard to turn, but I did opt for the jogging stroller w/o the swivel wheel. My only other problem was that the seat doesn't sit all the way upright, which is great for a young baby that has little neck control, but My 18 month old who loves to look around has to sit up unsupported to see. The seat has an adjustable strap that is used to adjust the incline. Even tightened all the way it sits pretty straight, but not all the way. Regardless, my son likes going for walks in it, it's easy to fold and unfold, it's light, and compact. If I had to, I'd definately buy another one of these. | | InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey) by InStep Good stroller, almost perfect. | Probably the first question you need to ask yourself is: fixed or swivel front wheel? If you are planning to actually used the stroller for jogging or running, get the fixed one. The swivel model will shake very badly while running on gravel. In the other hand, the fixed front wheel doesn't turn at all; you need to push the stroller in the direction you are heading but it handles very well on tough terrain conditions.
Here my review for this model:
I need to know what type of stroller will take care of my baby while I'm running. Last think you want to have is any bitter surprise. I fully disassembled this stroller and I found a solid chassis with a nice set of wheels. Overall balance and stability is pretty good. The baby's seat is in fact some type of polyester fabric which is screwed into the chassis. This is good and bad: is good because it is firmly attached to the stroller, it is bad because removing from the seat for a wash is not easy thing; you better get a power drill.
The under seat compartment is spacious; plenty of room to take with you any stuff you may need handy while exercising. The front wheel has a break handle attached to the stroller's handle, easy to access and helps if you need to make a stop. I say "helps" because it won't be enough to make a complete stop; you need to help a little too.
The stroller's handle is comfortable and allows good steering while running. The stroller's design is definitely a plus for tall guys because your steps won't kick the stroller, there is enough space.
If there is something that is a complete disaster in this stroller is the 5 point harness: 2 shoulder/chest straps with no cushioning at all with a loop at each end thru which you need to get the waist belt. That is a nightmare. They could have designed a little better. I decided to make a stop at the local crafts store; I got some plastic snapping hooks and black strap and I replaced all the harness system and installed strap cushions in both shoulder and the waist belt. This is something that I would strongly recommend you to do it.
Also the stroller doesn't come with any seat/back/head pad or cushion and while running, you cannot afford not to have good cushioning for your baby (you cannot always avoid all potholes or rocks on the road right?), therefore I got some extra pads for the back, seat and head. Although the stroller comes with rear suspension (which is a plus) I still believe that you baby needs something soft that will improve the overall suspension (same as your car).
My overall review is a 4 because I think this is a pretty good deal for the money. You may get more gadgets if you pay more, but it doesn't make the stroller better or more secure and that was my primary concern. I would give them a 5 star if they would have designed the stroller with a better harness system, so I'll give them 4 starts and save one for the new harness sysmte I built.
