Our Stroller Review

1/2

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:  Very similar to the BOB Revolution Jogging Stroller but half the price. It has the exact features of a front 12" swivel wheel to go on jogging or shopping mode. The swivel wheel helps you twist and turn indoors much better than a fixed front wheel, and the fixed wheel mode gives you stability when running. Although we think that the BOB Revolution Jogging Stroller is a better choice to choose between the two, the InSTEP Safari Jogging Stroller is a very close second runner up. With the economy these days, saving half the price and getting a just as good product is definitely a consideration. It even comes with 16" rear wheels for stability and suspension when running. One thing that the InSTEP Safari Jogging Stroller stands out on is it's ability to be in an upright position when folded.

And although the Mia Moda Energi Stroller is not for jogging use, what really catches our eye is that the front swivel wheel is lockable at the handlebar rather than going down to the wheel to switch it to fixed mode like InSTEP and BOB Jogging Strollers.

Easy to fold and space saving dimensions (16" H x 26" W x 37" L)

Safety:  When picking a jogging stroller, the most important criteria for a high-quality model is the way it is built.  Made of lightweight aluminum materials along with a 5-point harness, using the best materials available will make the ride safe for you and your baby.  And when the times come to park your jogging stroller use the rearwheel foot-activated parking brake to lock down both rear wheels. 

Mobility:  The best choice to use a stroller in and outdoors would be a 3-wheeler with a front swivel/fixed wheel option.  Going to the mall with a front swivel wheel stroller helps you make your turns swiftly, and going for a jog with a fixed front wheel would give the ride stability and straight steering ability.

Durability:  Built on a sturdy lightweight aluminum frame it will last you through years of usage.  Plus we enjoy that the stroller sits in a stand up position to keep it dust and dirt free. 

There's a reason why this stroller is a popular choice amongst parents who enjoy the outdoor excercise and the indoor shopping.  Using one stroller for every event would require you to choose one that will last you a long time in good condition, and we think this is a good choice for that.

What parents will love:  Parents would love the fact that they are purchasing a stroller that is of good value and of good quality.  It may not be as high-end like BOB Jogging Strollers, but we think InSTEP Jogging Strollers is just the right choice for parents who enjoy all the benefits and half the price-tag.

If you haven't noticed it by now, this is the only jogging stroller brand that includes a parent and baby console to place all your necessities throughout the day.  For parents, there's a cup holder and a covered tray to store you keys and phone.  For the baby, they have a nice little snack tray for them to snack away the day as you make an effort to loose the baby weight!  The great thing is, you can keep all of them attached as you close the stroller!

Parents will also enjoy the viewing window at the top of the canopy to see how their baby during the stroller ride.  And with an adjustable height handlebar, no parent is too tall or short to comfortably push this jogging stroller. 

What your baby will love:  How great is it for the baby to sit in a comfortable stroller whether indoors or outdoors and have a snack tray in front to keep them occupied throughout the day?  They are seated comfortably with roomy leg rest and are covered with a large canopy to protect them from harmful UV rays.  And since your baby will use this stroller so often, it's good to know that the seat pad is removable for washing to keep your baby dirt and germ free.

And with an included car seat adaptor, your new born baby can still enjoy the stroller to and from the car without having their sleep disrupted.

What we don't love so much:  We think this stroller is near perfect, the only recommendation we would have is to increase the weight limit from 50 lbs to 70 to match BOB Revolution Jogging Strollers.
