We give this stroller a full rating of 4 1/2 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller.  Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see 
what's included.

• Travel Convenience
• Safety
• Mobility
• Durability
• What parents will love
• What your baby will love
• What we don't love so much

Travel convenience:  The InSTEP Run Around Jogging Stroller is the closest in features and functions with the BOB Ironman Sport Utility Jogging Stroller.  Although the BOB is more superior with it's ratings, the InSTEP stands out with a price that is one third of it's competition.  With the economy these days, it's important to find value strollers that delivers in quality and function. 

The InSTEP Run Around Jogging Stroller also beats out the competition with it's new one hand fold technology (also available with Baby Jogger Strollers).  BOB Jogging Strollers require 2-steps to fold down the stroller.  If you're looking for something lighter in weight, we suggest the InSTEP Ultra Runner Jogging Stroller (only 17 lbs) for just a little bit more in price.  The only difference between the 2 InSTEP fixed wheel jogging stroller is that material the frame is made of.  The Ultra Runner is made of lightweight aluminum and the Run Around is made of sturdy steel.

Safety:  Since this stroller is made for some running, it's good to know that the frame is made of steel.  And with a 5-point harness your baby will be securely protected in the jogging stroller for fast runs or jogs.  For any emergency stops or to help with slowing down, the hand brake is easily available at the handlebar as well as rear wheel brakes to park the stroller. 

Mobility:  With rear wheel suspension, any bumps and uneven roads will still be an enjoyable ride for your little one.  Plus with large 16" wheels, the stroller is designed to run smoothly and safely at fast speeds.

This stroller has wheels that are designed for flat surfaces, if you plan to use it in a rugged trail we suggest the BOB Sport Utility Jogging Stroller since it has treaded tires for a better grip.

Durability:  Made of steel, this jogging stroller will last a lifetime.  The stroller can easily be maintained in mint condition with a little care in the materials.  With any messes, a good wipe will keep the stains away.  And since the wheels are air filled, it does need some maintenance once in a while to keep it pumped.

Folded dimension 23.5" H x 25" W x 39" L 

What parents will love:  Parents will definitely enjoy the great outdoor excercise they will get with this lovely jogging stroller.  A fraction of the price with more features included compared to the competitor is a major plus for starting families.  This stroller is great for excercise but will be hard to maneuver indoors since it does not have a front swivel wheel like it's sister stroller the InSTEP Safari Jogging Stroller.

Parents will also love the fact that this stroller is foldable with just a single hand.  The only other brand that offers that is Baby Jogger Strollers (not all models for jogging use).

What your baby will love:  Your baby can enjoy the fresh air strolling at a minimum age of 3 months.  But if you want to take your baby out for a jogging excercise, then we recommend a minimum age of 8 months for safety.  After that, they can use the stroller till the reach a maximum weight of 50 lbs.  As they get older, the footrest will help them be more comfortable sitting in the stroller for long periods of time.

Getting your baby used to outdoor excercise at such a young age is a great learning experience for your baby to grow up in.  Plus babies love to be with their parents even if they are busy getting their excercise done.

What we don't love so much:  We would like the jogging stroller to have a larger weight capacity.  But we are quite happy with everything else especially the stroller's weight of only 17 lbs and the low price tag on the purchase.
