Comfy + Jogger = Safari (Tested in a 12k race and we still love it!),

This review is from: InStep Safari Swivel Jogger (Sports)
The Safari is rugged, has a great sun shade, is portable, and is WELL PRICED ($120). It hits a terrific balance between a jogger's handling & sturdy build and a fancy stroller's comfort & amenities.
/_/ Our needs /_/
* We walk and jog daily on a series of walking trails that are rugged and unevenly maintained.
* We needed a stroller that could take a beating on the wheels, yet keep baby riding smoothly.
* We wanted to keep the sun off of baby when out walking in the early morning sunrise or sunset.
* We have 10 mo. old and we wanted a stroller she could grow into.
* We don't take the stroller in the car that often, but when we do, we have a small car and need to be able to fit the stroller into it.
* We wanted something to last and to be versatile, but didn't want to break the bank.
/_/ Pros /_/
*WIDE canopy (almost 2 feet) can be folded flat against the handles, or can be pulled wide as a shade. It is NOT attached to the...Read more

I will start with the Pros... this stroller looks really nice, and holds my almost 3yo with plenty of room for her to grow into it. It's also very tall, so it's very comfortable for tall people, but may actually be a little uncomfortable if you're shorter.
On to the cons:
- The front tire is almost impossible to inflate. I tried 4 different bike pumps, and went to 6 different gas stations to try to get this filled. Eventually I found a gas station that had a pump with a very small head (instructions say this is a no-no, but it was my only option). You need a pump with the head about the size of a tire pressure gauge (think small and angled).
- When we eventually got all the tires filled we took it out for a spin. By the time we got back one of the back tires was flat (we used a bike pump on this one, and DID NOT overinflate). When I took the rubber tire off, I noticed small holes all over the inner tube. Rather than waiting 2-4 wks for the company to send a...Read more

Small space between tire valves and hub very problematic.,

I'm a single father with an eighteen-month old girl. This product for the most part has been serving it's purpose, that being able to take my daughter out on fast-walking/jogging excursions that would otherwise be difficult (if not impossible) with a regular stroller.
My main problem with it is the tiny space from the valves in relation to the hubs. If you purchase this product, you need to be aware that you can only inflate the tires with a pump/compressor that has an ANGLED head, and it's best that it's a "tee" type with the head at 90-degrees. The 45-degree type at most service stations will fit on the rear tires, but it's near to impossible to do that with the front tire. Compact bike tire pumps will not fit, either.
Although non-consequential in the long run (as of this writing I've had this jogger for over a month), it was a small nuisance. Otherwise, it's a good jogger for it's price.
UPDATE (5-22-11):
