InStep Run Around LTD Jogging Stroller (Royal Blue/Grey)

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...Read more

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.

This well-priced 3-wheeler is excellent on pavement, grass, and gravel. It takes potholes well, and seems quite sturdy. It's not for use in stores or tight spaces, as the turning radius is quite wide. The harness is the only thing I don't like about this stroller: it's very difficult to fasten around a squirmy baby, and the straps are not particularly adjustable.
