Great stroller for outdoorsy people!!! May 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I absolutely love this stroller. Can't beat the quality for the price. I'm not a jogger...but an outdoors person. We live in the country and don't like to walk near roads with our baby. We just put him in this stroller and it pushes with ease through out the woods and through fields. I love the rain canopy...it's clear so Levi can see where he is going...it is also nice to use on chillier windy days. Keeps him nice and warm. Absolutely love it!! Easy to put together and easy to fold and unfold too!!
A Comparison with the InStep Safari TT Single Jogging Stroller May 9, 2008
17 out of 20 found this review helpful
About a year ago, we looked at front swivel wheel jogging strollers. We wanted one with a supportive seat that would allow our son to sit more upright than most jogging strollers allowed. We also wanted one with a child tray. We opted to get the Instep Safari TT Single Stroller (which I think is the same as the Schwinn Safari TT Swivel Stroller) over one of the Jeep Liberty Limited Urban Terrain Strollers. We were able to buy the Instep much cheaper than the Jeep. Also, the Jeep we saw had speakers for a cd player which we had no interest in using. We have just recently purchased a used 2003 Jeep stroller. For our current off-road, non-jogging purposes, this is working out better.
I would like to offer our comparison of the Instep/Schwinn Safari and the Jeep. There seems to be a few choices in Jeep models. Ours is used and I don't know which we have. Therefore, these are just basic guidelines.
We've taken both strollers around a neighborhood with sporadic sidewalks and no curb cutouts and both have handled the mixed/rough terrain well. We've also walked on the university campus where there are small (2') hills and both strollers go up and down them fine.
My main complaints with the Instep, and what I like about the Jeep, are little things. The cupholders are so shallow that bottles of water fall over. The child tray is not removable. When our son falls asleep we have to lift him out over the tray. The sunshade is beyond stupid. We live in Arizona and the Instep shade provides no protection from the sun. It actually curves upwards. We bought a Kiddopotamus sunshade. Although it provides ample sun protection, our son must essentially look out a tube. The Jeep sunshade is a bit better, but not really. It seems bigger and does not curve up and let the sun in as much, but we still use the additional sunshade. I will address the bad Instep brakes later.
The Instep is bigger and the seat for the child is roomier. However, there is more head clearance space under the Jeep Canopy. I wonder if the foot rest on the Jeep will be outgrown faster than the footrest on the Instep.
The seat on the Jeep seems better padded. The one we bought was FILTHY when we got it and it cleaned up easily. I had been certain it would be covered in stains, but it looks brand new. The Instep has a thin seat cover that can be removed for washing. However, it is velcroed in place. When our son sits down, we have to hold the pad in place or it slips and wads up underneath him.
There are reflectors attached all over the Jeep. The Instep has no reflectors that I've ever noticed.
The handle on the Instep is adjustable, so you can make it taller. You can also position it facing backwards and be further back from the stroller. This is probably advantageous for joggers. The Jeep is okay height for me 5'7." My 6' husband has to walk a bit to the side to not kick the stroller when he is walking, but he has to do that with most strollers that don't have adjustable handles.
The back wheels on our Instep are bigger than the rear wheels on the Jeep. That might make a difference for someone who jogs. I haven't jogged with either stroller.
Our Instep has a locking front wheel as does our Jeep. I don't know if all models of each brand lock or not.
The brake system on the Jeep is better. Although they both have foot brakes that interact with the rear wheels, the Instep partially falls into place when you go over bumps. You then get a bump-bump-bump rhythm in the stroller. My husband actually stretched a bungie cord between the handle bar and the foot bar to prevent this. I haven't noticed the Jeep brake falling into place.
I like the cargo basket better on the Jeep because it is bigger and much more accessible. Another advantage of the Jeep is for our son. He loves to push the stroller like he does shopping carts. He grabs the horizontal bar at the back of the stroller and pushes. On the Instep, this is the brake so he sets the brake. On the Jeep, he grabs and pushes with the cargo basket so he does not set the brake. The cargo basket on the Instep is very inconvenient. It's small and it is hard to get stuff in and out. I suspect for someone jogging, they would collide with the Jeep basket but not with the Instep basket.
We've never used the Instep as a jogger, but rather as an off-road stroller. Now that I have used both, I think the Jeep is better for off-road general stroller, but the Instep is probably better for jogging. I still like the cup holders, brakes, and removable tray of the Jeep MUCH better and think the Instep would be a superior stroller if it had those. Although I like the jeep cargo basket for my purpose, I think the Instep cargo basket that doesn't stick back, the handle that folds backwards, and the large rear wheels could possibly make a difference for a jogger.
Excellent stroller April 21, 2008

This high-quality jogging stoller is an excellent value. Very well made and easy to put together. The ride is very smooth. The mp3 player does not charge your player, but is instead a set of speakers in case you want to listen to music out loud as you are walking. It works with my iPod, but I doubt I will use the speakers very often. It includes everything you might need (e.g., pedometor, air pump, rain cover, basket, hand break, safety strap, cup holders, etc.). Amazon is definitely the best deal around. The gray, yellow and black color combination provides a very attractive modern look. We will be buying something to cover up the ugly "walk & play" logo on top of the mp3 holder.
tough nugget... March 4, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is a really tough stroller as I use it where I used to go mountain biking. Dirt, mud, berms and low creeks were no match--we had a blast with this stroller. It's pretty heavy though and doesn't exactly fold neatly into a small space. But if you take the wheels off it shouldn't be problem. It's a really good product rivaling others costing hundreds more.
Great stroller for the money February 10, 2008

This stroller was very easy to assemble, and looks very good. For Amazon's price with free shipping, it cannot be beat. I had a problem with one tire not inflating properly, and customer service at the manufacturer promptly sent me a new wheel with no hassle.
