InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller (Blue/Khaki)

 (231 customer reviews)

I got this stroller a few weeks ago and have walked plenty with it. It is so easy to maneuver and push. It is so agile! The seat backs do lay back a bit, which is a little weird for my almost 3 yr old, but is fine for my 6 monther. I had my heart set on the BOB duallie, but with a $500 price, it wasn't an option, this is a fine alternative. THe color combo is awesome-and the swivel wheel is incredible. I will never buy a jogging stroller without a swivel wheel after using this one!! It is a tad on the heavy side when folded, but it is still doable-

I do have some suggestions for InStep though, if anyone from there is reading my review!:

1. If you are going to continue to make a sun shade, at least make one that is functional that will actually

provide shade!! No sense wasting money producing the current shade version, it is practically useless. Charge a few bucks more and make a great one (I have a BOB single stroller and the shade is...Read more

As the price suggests, this isn't a BOB. I've had a BOB Ironman for about a year and love it. But now that I have two kids, I needed a double stroller that could carry the kids on walks through the neighborhood and through the zoo. I wasn't ready to pay for the BOB Dualie.

The InStep Safari seems to do the job. It handles the rough sidewalks better than any umbrella stroller and my kids seem comfortable riding in it. Obviously, the design and construction are not as good as the BOB, nor does the material seem as comfortable. A BOB will come with pads for the shoulder straps: this one doesn't. For the price though, you have to expect that it's not going to have the BOB bells-and-whistles.

Two considerations:

(1) If you're seriously thinking about using a stroller for jogging/running, I would opt for a different, higher quality stroller. This one does not have a hand brake and does not seem sturdy enough for a speedy ride.

I bought this stroller for my 6 mo old and 3 yo. My 3 yo daughter is tall for her age, and at 40 in her head comes above the back of the seat and she sits scrunched up when both feet are on the foot rest. When I take her out in it she usually lets one foot dangle over the side of the foot rest to be more comfortable. She is a better fit if reclined back a little, but even that is tough since her head is past the top of the seat. I don't see this stroller lasting us as long as I would hoped...like when we go back to Disney in 2 years. The weight max is 100lbs, but they must think kids are made short and fat, b/c it just doesn't accomodate taller kids. It would be nice if they made it so that the seat came all the way up to the hood...

The seats are close together, too, which I guess would probably be true of any stroller. It gives my 3 yo easy access to her 6 mo old brother, though, which he doesn't particularly like.

The seats are comfy, though, and I think it...Read more
