We've really enjoyed our InStep Swivel Jogger July 8, 2008
This product has been very useful for our family. We have a 2 year old and a 1 month old. Even though it is not "recommended" for newborns, it works well for this age group. The seat can lay nearly completely back and it has a five-point harness set-up so that the baby will sit securely in the seat. Our 2 year-old does not need as much restraint, so we do not use the shoulder straps on her. It pushes easily. I do a lot of walking and it handles very well. The swivel feature is great for tight corners, but have to be careful when going up or down steps (even one) because it is not stable. The sun shade is not very helpful. It does not extend very far, so for our infant we have to clothespin a blanket across the front to keep sun or rain off of her. Overall, we would definitely recommend this product to anyone with two small children.
A stroller that serves its purpose July 3, 2008
The reason I bought this stroller was to be able to run whenever I felt like it. I have a 14 month old and a husband that works and runs himself, and I was tired of asking for a sitter to be able to go and run. I think the stroller is perfect for what it was meant for. However, we will not be able to take this stroller on a trip or anything because as of right now our vehicles are cars and it will not fit unless we take the wheels off and at that point I find it pointless. The wheel in the front is also a little wobbely when you don't have it locked which is a little annoying but other than that I really like it and it does the job I bought it for.
 Many Differences From the Single Model June 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm sure a lot of my feedback is because I did not do enough research, but I was surprised how different the double stroller was from the single stroller of the same make/model. A friend has the single stroller and I really liked it so I thought the double would be perfect. The main difference is that the push bar is not adjustable. As a tall person, the fixed far is a bit low. Also, there is no parent tray, but this really goofy bag that you snap to the handle and it dangles off. There is also no type of child tray, just a bar (to keep them in I guess). I am using this for my one year old and three year old and I thought the bar may be an issue for the three year old to get in and out, but she can climb over the bar with no problems. It is great that the seats are adjustable, but you adjust them with this bungy type thing on the back of the seat, and it is not possible to get them completely upright. With all that said, the swivel front wheel keeps me from returning it. I had a BOB with a fixed wheel and would never get another fixed wheel jogger (and don't want to pay BOB prices for their double, swivel wheel model). It also rolls really nicely, easy to push and seems to give the girls a smooth ride.
 Love this stroller1 June 20, 2008
I love,love, love this stroller. It turns on a dime. Great for city and trail walking. Kids seem comfortable. My four 1/2 yr old still sits in it and doesn't complain.
It is very heavy, but I don't transport it very often.
 Unsafe at Any Speed June 16, 2008

I had very high hopes for this stroller. I've had an Instep jogging stroller with a fixed front wheel for two years and needed a double stroller so I went straight back to Instep. This stroller had a structural FAILURE which caused the front wheel to fall off while I was jogging with my children. The stroller flipped over causing injury to both my children, 2 years and 5 months, and me. I advise all parents to look very closely at this stroller for any signs of structural problems around the front wheel. I will not buy this stroller again and advise all parents to look elsewhere.
