The light, durable InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller boasts a sturdy steel frame and is ideal for parents who want to get out and about with their children without breaking the bank. The Run Around 2 is designed to offer both parents and children a comfortable ride, to pack up and stow easily, and to cover bumpy terrain at fast and low speeds with ease.
Designed to fit the needs of runners but well appointed for everyone, the Run Around 2 has a stable 12-inch fixed front wheel and 16-inch rear wheels that offer optimum size for serious runners and walkers, particularly on rough terrain. The super-stable wheels ensure a jiggle-free ride and also allow parents to take the stroller up to high speeds.
Built for convenience, the stroller folds easily for transportation and storage. Relatively compact for a double stroller, the quick-release wheels can also be removed for additional storage ease. Weighing just 33 pounds, it's easy to throw the stroller in the back of the car.
Loaded with safety features, the stroller is equipped with five-point harnesses, a handbrake, a parking brake, and tether strap to prevent the runaway stroller nightmare. On hot and sunny days the generous canopy keeps young skin protected, and a vented cabin offers breathability. Behind-the-seat storage holds your everyday necessities. The Run Around 2 has all the basics you need for a safe, easy-to-operate, comfortable, and storable jogging stroller, and it is a great fit for the active family.

Great... just one complaint (it's kind of a biggie),

This jogger is great for many reasons. It has excellent storage, including several different compartments. It holds up to 100lbs, and it's roomy enough for my almost five year old (she's only 35 pounds)to fit in it just fine. It is also extremely comfortable for my 6 month old son.
My one complaint is that the front wheel doesn't swivel. I didn't realize that when I bought it. If you jog in an area where you are turning corners, it's kind of a pain because you have to pivot it around on the back wheels.
So, if ease of movement around a city block is important to you, don't get this stroller! I have to say though, for $140 (on sale), it's a pretty good buy!

happy so far,

This is a great stroller for the money. The only problem with this stroller is that there is no padding for removing and washing in the seats. I used cushions from another jogging stroller. Also, the storage basket hangs low and drags on the ground if you put something in it. It is removable with buttons, so I just moved it a bit higher on the stroller and now it works great!! For the money spent, my kids love it and it fits through most doorways. I love the behindseat storage and the parent console. Good buy for parents wanting to use for fairs, carnivals, jogging or walks to the park.

non repairable parts,

We were given an instep jogging stroller as a gift and loved it until one day it refused to fold. The latch on one side would not release. My wife runs mostly from the house and this stroller had been folded less than 10 times.
The side latch that broke is inside the frame and cannot be repaired even by the bike store (this was confirmed by customer service). Unfortunately the stroller was six months out of warranty and instep will do nothing to help. I called and the bike store called and the company says no warranty no luck.
This part is innacessible to replace and as I said the stroller had been folded so few times I am very very disapointed with the product and this company and will never buy from them again. For such an integral part to fail is a real shame.
