This stroller is easy to push, collapse, and set up, but the sun shade is really bad. It doesnt nearly shade any sun in any of the seats positions.

Love this stroller for the past 2 years

I've now had this stroller for over 2 years and it is still as great as day 1! I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 2 year old and they both fit perfect in there for walks each day. Even though my son is over 3 years old he still fits in perfectly and I know I should probably get him to walk instead and just have a single stroller, but my kids are so much more controllable sitting in the stroller. The only problems i've had are that the material on one of the seams has come undone and fallen apart, due to my daughter pushing it with her feet getting in and out, but after 2 years I don't expect it to look brand new...and it doesn't effect it's use. Also I need to have the tires inflated at least every 3 months....or the stroller gets harder to push....after I top up the tires it glides with just one finger! I still get mothers coming up to me asking if they could try the stroller out because it looked so easy....which it is. This is a very well built stroller, 2 years worth and used every day since I don't own a car, it has been left out in the rain a few times by accident, it's been through sand and dirt and other than the small rip you would think it is still fairly new. To anyone considering a double stroller I only have one word of advice....please get the SWIVEL wheel strollers, as they are much more easier to turn, I tested both and this stroller with the swivel wheel is a dream to turn corners.

Good stroller, but be wary with taller kids who want to sit all the time.

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 would be a GREAT stroller for twins or younger/shorter siblings. The front swivel wheel is awesome...so nice not having to pick up the front end every time to you want to turn.

AND it easily fits into my car, which is just a small Corolla...my single Baby Trend jogger didn't even do that!

I would recommend getting a sunshade extender, though...if you are facing the sun head on there is no protection at all.

So overall, if you aren't looking to spend $500 on a dbl stroller, I would get this one. Probably an older kid wouldn't mind SO much that he/she is a little tall...I mean, even though my daughter is she didn't complain about it, and was able to lie down on her side to nap...so it is really just me. It is a good stroller for the price, and older kids want to walk a lot of the time anyway, so it's good enough.

Hope my rambling review was of some help!

A great stroller!

I bought this stroller for my twin girls, who are almost 2. They had out grown their front-back duo glider, so they love the side-by-side stroller. It pushes so easy and light and w/ the swivel front wheel option, it is perfect for going shopping or walking. I do like that the wheel will lock in the event I do want to use it as a jogger. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the "storage basket" underneath is WAY under the seats and is small. I have to get on my knees to reach under there to put things in and get things out and the diaper bag will not fit because there is not enough "height" room between the basket and bottom of the seats. I would also like a stroller caddy to go across the top bar, a place w/ a cup holder and storage for keys, phone, etc. I do not think you can purchase one for the double stroller. Other than that, it is a great stroller and a good price. I definitely recommend it for moms that need a side-by-side stroller, but need to be able to "cruise" the mall or take walks, because it is easy to handle. It also folds and un-folds very easy.

Excellent Value!

We are very happy with this stroller- especially for the price! Even though it is not officially intended for use with the Graco Snugride infant carriers, our oldest daughter (22 months) fits snuggly into the stroller next to our youngest (2 months) when in the carrier. The stroller folds compactly enough that it fits into the back of our '05 Chevy Equinox and our '06 Kia Sedona, with plenty of room to spare. The recline is easy and individual to each seat, which is helpful with a young baby. We are able to easily fold and unfold for short errands in and out of the car. Only complaint is that the tires were flat upon arrival. We are happy to have this as our second double stroller!

This was a great purchase. Although the stroller is fairly large and heavy, it is great for both my 3yr old and 8 month old. My son is taller than most 3 year olds so it is a little small for him and he exceeds the height requirement, but he still loves to ride in it. The ride is very smooth and moves very easily. The only downfall for those moms who love to shop, the stroller is probably too wide to fit through most store clothes racks. BUMMER!

Since this double jogging stroller was one of the least expensive ones available, I tried to keep my expectations low. But all the positive reviews convinced me that maybe this was one of those rare occasions where you actually get more than what you pay for. A good deal, even. It's not. The fabric is cheap and the padding is flimsy. There is no separation between the two seats so both kids roll toward the center. There is no hand brake so if you're on any incline, you'll need to apply the foot break with is really stiff and difficult to use. It shouldn't be called a foot brake if you have to squat down under the stroller and yank it up and down with your hand to engage or release it. The canopy is a joke, barely shielding the kids heads when the sun is directly above and useless if the sun is anywhere else in the sky. The pushing handle is rubber, not soft foam. The handle is also wasit high for me, an average height person, so my wrists are always at an uncomfortable angle while pushing. The color of blue is ugly and generic looking. The seats won't sit up straight enough and my kids get tired of slouching. They can't reach the front bar of the stroller when they are fastened in so it ends up being just some other obstacle to putting them into the stroller. The fasteners on the belt are sharp and hard to fasten, pinching my fingers each time I use them.
I hope I can save someone the trouble of thinking this stroller is a good deal and then having to pay to return it.

Great stroller, overall

Overall, this is a great stroller. It had everything I was looking for (i.e. a front wheel that can pivot or be locked into place; side by side seat design and ease of movement). It turns really easily and is so much easier to push than my traditional double stroller. The two 'problems' are that it did not come with a cup holder tray (you have to buy that separately) and the sun shade is useless (it doesn't even begin to shield my kids from the sun), but I knew that before I bought it, thanks to another customer's comment. However, I think it is a great stroller for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to get around easily with their two children!

We just got back from our first walk using this stroller-it's awesome!!! I love that it's so easy to push and that the front wheel swivels. My single jogger is an InStep too, but it doesn't have the swivel wheel. The swivel wheel feature alone makes it worth purchasing. The seats are plush and cushiony (and washable). I like the napper bar because it allows my 3 year old to get in and out with ease. We also have a 6 month old who seemed very happy during the walk. It collapses easily and I can see taking it with me to do some shopping trips (ie. outlet malls, etc.). I have a Honda Pilot and this will fit in it with plenty of room to spare. It collapses very easily (more easily than my Graco Metro stroller). Just to confirm, I am a walker and I won't be jogging with this stroller and have based my review on walking. I gave the stroller a 4 because I wish it had a built in weather shield like my single InStep jogger and because they didn't include a safety harness (it can't cost more than a dollar). If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's like a dog leash for your stroller and you can put it around your wrist for those hilly areas (makes me feel more secure). You can't beat the price that Amazon offers and with free shipping and all the features that I mentioned it's a no-brainer.

I bought this stroller recently and am compelled to write a review because I love it so much. It is such a wonderful stroller. It glides easily, even with one hand. It is also very easy to open and close and is relatively lightweight, as far as double strollers go. It stores nicely when collapsed, too. It has great rubber wheels that make the ride very smooth for the passengers and extremely easy to steer for the adult.

I did a lot of research on double strollers and this one seemed like the best to me. And, it is the best. I did read a lot of complaints regarding the seats -- especially that they don't sit upright, which is true. But I have found that my daughter enjoys sitting up and holding on the bar. She leans back when she wants to rest. She hasn't had any issues with the seat, luckily. I was worried about that. But it turned out to be no problem.

I must say, however, that while the stroller is FANTASTIC for walks, runs, trips to the park, etc., it may be too large for using in stores. I have a tandem stroller that I keep in the car for shopping. I use this stroller solely for outside trips.

This is an excellent piece of equipment. When walking about 3 miles per day, the swivel wheel makes manuevering very easy. It is great for walking around the neighborhood or trips to the mall. There is plenty of storage space underneath. Add some stroller hooks to the handle and you're ready for shopping. I've shopped around and have tried other strollers before, but this one is the best when you have two children to carry. I only wish I could find a decent cup holder to go with it.

I bought this double stroller for my grand children. After much research and comparison, interviewing many "lucky" parents on the streets of several cities...I came to the conclusion that this stroller is what we need.
I actually exported it overseas to Jerusalem. My daughter in law walks a lot with the children and this stroller is a "dream come true". Very easy to push, easy to fold and easy to erect. The children 1.5 yrs and 1 month old are comfortable in it and we are looking for years of excellent service.

Got this stroller for my 2 year old and newborn daughters. I wanted to use it for a running and an all-purpose stroller. I love it!
br /
br /Pros: The swivel makes it easy to stroll or jog and steer with one hand - the swivel feature is a must. The wheels are great for bumpy roads and snowbanks. I can fit lots of groceries in the basket underneath(although excessive weight causes it to snap off). The seats recline easily, which is great for the baby. The seat covers come off easily to wash. The stroller is heavier - but all joggers are. It folds easily and the wheels come off for putting it in the trunk very easily. I can fit through any door that is handicap accessible and most buildings have a handicap accessible door. Fitting through doorways has only been a problem for me once and then I just folded the stroller and went in sideways.
br /
br /Cons: There is no child snack cup. I ended up putting velcro on the front bar and velcro on a small tupperware and sticking that to the bar. The sun shade does not block the sun very well. I ended up purchasing the Double Ray Shade, which works but does flop around on windy days.
br /
br /In addition to the Double Ray Shade, I also purchased the Graco Double Rain Shield which works great for rain or cold weather. The girls stay toasty warm under it. I also purchased the BOB handlebar console which fits GREAT. It holds my phone, keys, two waterbottles, etc.
br /
br /Overall, I LOVE my stroller. It's very functional; we go everywhere with it and the price was great too!

I received this stroller last month and I am really enjoying it. It was easy to assemble, it handles great, and it is well-made. However, there are a few things you should be aware of if you are considering purchasing it......

1. I find it hard to lift (it's HEAVY), and a little difficult to fold and unfold;
2. The break sticks a bit, but I have a feeling it may ease-up with time and use.
3. There is virtually no barrier between the two children. Mine are 15 months apart, and sometimes the older one (21 months) accidentally clobbers the younger one (6 months), because they are practically on top of eachother!
4. The sunshade is totally inadequate if you live in a warm climate, and you will probably need to purchase some type of extension (try the double rayshade by Kiddopotamus).
5. There is no parent console (or child shack tray), which I find to be a pain. I have just purchased (but have not yet received) the BOB Duallie Handlebar Console, which supposedly fits this stroller.

Otherwise, it's a really good jogger for the price.

We bought this Instep Safari TT stroller after having a Combi twin stroller (which was great for the mall - it folded up like a golf bag, and took up 1/3rd of my trunk, and weighed only about 26lbs -- however it sucked when walking outside, and I almost propelled my kids out of when I hit a small bump on the pavement)!!

The safari definitely weighs a LOT MORE than the combi, BUT, because of the swivel wheel, it still actually fits in the trunk of my camry!! (Albeit, it does take up pretty much the entire area).

I can also fold it fairly easily, and lift it by myself and put it in the trunk - and I do it, several times per day - so it's really no big deal!

I use this jogging stroller EVERY SINGLE DAY and LOVE IT - we go to the Zoo, playgrounds, on hikes through the C&O Canal, to the mall, and only occasionally have I got stuck trying to go through a single wide door. (It's just a tad wider - due to the wheels). It rolls over curbs easily, uneven pavements aren't even noticeable, and off roading it through natural surface trails are no big deal!

I'm part of a Fun 'N' Hip mommies group in DC and one of the most annoying things they mostly mention about their strollers is the reclining seat feature - however, on the double Safari - my kids love it - it reclines and sits up very easily, using a drawstring in the back, so they can easily take naps if need be.

I WISH, WISH, WISH it had the following:

A tray on the handle for me to stick a bottle of water - but yes you can use the bag that comes with it (and that's where I stick carkeys etc.,).

Snack holders on the front bumper bar (which I haven't figured out how to take off) so that my kids can eat their cheerio's out of them, or stick their cups in them.

A way to extend the handle bars to make them taller - I'm 5'9 and it would be great if it was just even an inch or two higher.


Overall though - and for the price - I recommend it to everyone I meet!!

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY, except for...

The lower compartment could be easier to access, and could include a parent console. I went online and found that InStep does indeed sell the console, but only for the single stroller :( Other than that...it is GREAT. Even better is the price...beats that BOB anyday!

Would definitely recommend for all moms who need to restrain those active kids and go for long walks/jogs. My 2 and 3 yr old (heavy boys) sit in it for 2 hours almost every day and I barely have to push it with my finger :)

Firstly, I'll say that I'm a stroller fanatic... I've got 2 small children and we have had over 7 strollers in the past 2 years. I have top brands like Bugaboo. This In-Step stroller is by far the easiest, most practical stroller of all. With it's swivel wheel, I can manuver through crowded shopping malls and street fairs as well as run without feeling like I'm pushing a transfer truck. For the money, it's pretty unbelievable that you can get such a great product when most double joggers are over $250. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this wonderful product. I love it!

We bought this stroller not only for jogging but also to use at places like Disneyland. The swivel wheel makes this stroller the easiest thing to steer and our kids love it. Our kids our three and one, both fit in the stroller comfortably. The only draw back to the stroller is it does not have a cup holder for the parents.

I bought this item for my two grandkids that I watch every day. When the stroller arrived, I had to assemble it. Being a widow, I thought that I would be challenged. However, it turned out that I was able to finish assembling in less than 30 minutes. (HINT: I read the instructions as I went along). My grandkids just LOVE this stoller. I am too old to jog so I bought it for long walks. My grandkids lounge like a little king and queen while I push them along. I love this stroller because the wheels are inflatable tires, so the ride is cushioned. I also love the swiveling front wheel. It makes turning sooooo easy. With the free shipping, this buy was a steal!!!

My husband is 5'8 and I'm 5'11 and the handle for this stroller was so low that it put our wrists in an akward position. As for the swivel action just like all the other swivel double joggers I've tried the stupid wheel shakes if you go faster than a slow walk or hit a bump in the road. I have given up on the double jogging stroller that swivels. Save your money and get one that doesn't swivel because you'll just end up locking the wheel anyways.

I had very high hopes for this stroller. I've had an Instep jogging stroller with a fixed front wheel for two years and needed a double stroller so I went straight back to Instep. This stroller had a structural FAILURE which caused the front wheel to fall off while I was jogging with my children. The stroller flipped over causing injury to both my children, 2 years and 5 months, and me. I advise all parents to look very closely at this stroller for any signs of structural problems around the front wheel. I will not buy this stroller again and advise all parents to look elsewhere.

br /UPDATE: 10/9/08
br /This manufacturer makes you return all products directly to them. I started trying to return this product on 6/16/08. It took two months to have them take it back. They would not give me a refund, only a replacement. I finally received a replacement on 10/8/09. I suggest going elsewhere. Even after a structural failure, the manufacturer (Pacific Cycle) only provides exchanges. They are also very slow. It took almost 4 months to get a replacement and I had to sign all types of legal paperwork just to get that. This has just been one hassle after another dealing with this company. They produce all Instep and Schwinn strollers.

We just purchased this stroller--we even tested it around the store. It fit into the bathrooms, through the aisles and everything without a problem. Unfortunately, I had to nurse my newest child instead of test drive it myself. Big mistake.

We purchased this for an evening walk my two kids and I will be doing nightly. It was under $200 and we thought, "GREAT!" On top of that, it looks snazzy. It was even fairly simple to put together.

Outside it works great...as long as you don't have to turn many corners or do any tight turns. It's quite awkward if you want to turn it.

Because we live in a place that snows, we often go to malls around us on winter nights to do the mall walk. We did a practice walk today (it rained), and we're taking it back to the store tomorrow. It's just way too awkward. Avoiding crowds, following ramps, making turns in a tight store, making even a long, wide turn just doesn't work well. That's not even mentioning that we couldn't get it through the average door at the mall.

So if you're wanting to use this for outdoor use, go for it. It stands on it's on, making storage easy.

If you're wanting to make this your everyday use stroller, think twice. Especially if you're going to be taking it out by yourself AT ALL, I would REALLY think twice.

Pros: Stylish, durable, adjustable to terrian, easy to assemble, kids seem happy in it, great for jogging

Cons: Heavy (but what double stroller isn't? At 30 pounds it's a lightweight compared to some of the larger ones), awkward turning, just slightly too large for the average doorway, and it allows your kids to bother each other. Constantly. Also, it's not for use in compact cars at all.

In the end, you're going to get what you paid for it. Are you going to get 5 years out of it? Probably not. Are you going to be able to use this everyday while you shop? Probably not. Will it take you the miles if you're a walker/runner? You better believe it.

I probably would have more to report on, but like I said--we bought it today, used it tonight, and it's going back tomorrow. We're going to spend a little more and invest in a Graco Quattra Tour Duo instead, like we had originally intended.

I absolutely love that this stroller is on the lighter side and is SO easy to manuever. It'll stroll over anything in it's path and it's a very smooth ride. The seats seem comfy for my kids, ages 2&4. It's a manageable size for a side-by-side double. There are some things that could use improvements: the sunshield does not block out the sun at all, the baskets underneath are difficult to get things in and out and the seats are far too reclined, even in the most upright position. My kids have to either lie down or sit up, holding onto the bar (which should be a snack tray). The stroller could also use a hard parent tray to store some things in. Despite these things (which would make it perfect), I am enjoying it overall. I did buy this jogger for walking/running errands/trips to the mall, not jogging w/ my kids. I suppose if I were using it to jog, most of these issues would not be a problem.

I am impressed with the ease of use. This stroller is lightweight and very easy to push with 2 kids in it. The quality of the frame is not as good as a BoB but it is also much less expensive. Sun canopy is an issue and have to buy extra one. No place for bottles of water except underneath the stroller. Kids do lean in towards each other. With all that, I still would reccommend stroller for those not wanting to pay Bob price.

I'm sure it's a great product but it still took up too much space when folded up. I couldn't close the trunk of my car. Maybe it's a different story if you have a minivan. I returned it and bought the Jeep double stroller (the flimsy kind, but it suits me better).

I'm sure a lot of my feedback is because I did not do enough research, but I was surprised how different the double stroller was from the single stroller of the same make/model. A friend has the single stroller and I really liked it so I thought the double would be perfect. The main difference is that the push bar is not adjustable. As a tall person, the fixed far is a bit low. Also, there is no parent tray, but this really goofy bag that you snap to the handle and it dangles off. There is also no type of child tray, just a bar (to keep them in I guess). I am using this for my one year old and three year old and I thought the bar may be an issue for the three year old to get in and out, but she can climb over the bar with no problems. It is great that the seats are adjustable, but you adjust them with this bungy type thing on the back of the seat, and it is not possible to get them completely upright. With all that said, the swivel front wheel keeps me from returning it. I had a BOB with a fixed wheel and would never get another fixed wheel jogger (and don't want to pay BOB prices for their double, swivel wheel model). It also rolls really nicely, easy to push and seems to give the girls a smooth ride.

I love this Stroller! Myself or my husband use it 5 days a week for daily walks and/or outdoor adventures and works great. The only thing for TALL people to be aware of is the handle bar DOES NOT extend to accomidate taller people. I researched for a couple of weeks for the best stroller for what I wanted to use it for without paying high dollar for a name brand one. There was a couple of reviews on amazon and other websites that carried the same stroller and said that the handle bar adjusted to different heights. NOT TRUE!! My husband is 6'3" and I am 5'10" it works fine, but would be a little more comfortable if the handle bar could adjust a couple inches. So I just did not want anyone to get false information. Also amazon delivered the stroller in just a couple days, I was so impressed. Would recommend this product and amazon to friends.

I've had this stroller for almost 2 years. It's great. I use it for streets and during my stroller class where it's a walk/jog situation. It glides and makes walking fun with your children. I've switched strollers with other moms who can't believe how great it is. You can't beat it for the price. I have friends who have bought the expensive ones and I don't regret my decision. The swivel wheel is fabo!

The down side - I wish the canopy was larger. It doesn't sheild the children from the elements very well. A cup holder for mom and kiddos would be great. I bought one that goes to a bob's double stroller and it works well.

It can tip over if the children decide to stand and lean backwards.

This is the third buggy we have purchased for our twins so we already know a little about what we want and don't want in a buggy. I must say that this lives up to expectations; we've already been for walks on dirt roads, grass and sand and the buggy stands up to all three. It works very well for the environment we live in but the only negative I guess would be that it is very wide. We knew this when we bought it so it wasn't much of a surprise when it wouldn't fit through most shop doorways. I would suggest that if you want a buggy for a purely urban lifestyle, you buy a stroller. For everything else, this buggy works fantastically well. The seat padding is the best we've had yet and the seats themselves are very spacious. They could do with being brought to a more upright position but this is not a major problem as our twins simply use the grab bar to lean forward. The wheels really are very easy to remove (we have to do this in order to fit it in our boot). Overall we are very pleased with the product and more than satisfied with the supplier (Amazon) who delivered ahead of schedule - we couldn't have asked for more.

Worth the money and no headaches!!!

I was looking to spend some money on a worthy twin jogging stroller. I read the reviews and am very happy that I purchased this one. I agree with the con that the children can not sit up in this stroller. But I figure, if I'm jogging or walking briskly they would rather 'relax' and lay back a bit to enjoy the ride. It is unbelieveably easy to push and turn. I can do it with one finger! I did purchase the extended canopy and am debating the snack bar that goes in front of them. I highly recommend this product and am extremely pleased to own it!

This should be a great stroller since I have a 3 yr. old and right now 3 mo. old. I thought maybe there was a stoller caddy included with the stroller since it showed in the photos, but I was disappointed that it did not come with a nice hard plastic one - it only came with a soft smaller one. I did purchase a stroller caddy for the handle bar, but it is also one made out of the nylon instead of being plastic. This double stroller is also a little heavy, but I guess they are all around 35 lbs. I am looking forward to using it at the zoo and traveling once my son is 6 mos. old.

This is a great jogger for the price. It controls very well and is easy to run or jog with. My two kids love it. My 3 year old like the fact that she gets to sit while mommy run and my 10 months old loves sitting with her feet up on the bar in front of them. I would give it 5 stars if it was not for the non-existing sun-shade. I do not understand why it has this shade which does nothing. Only during 12 o'clock sun does it work - and who is crazy enough to jog at noon in sunny California?? I purchased an extension shade but has not received it yet but I hope it will work.
br /Great product but sun-shade should be re-designed.
br /
br /Update August 29th, 2008: I purchased the kiddywampus extension shade and it works really well. It can cover a little to all way which is great. It does fly back a little during windy conditions but I find that to be a small problem. It does its' job well and my kids love the stroller even more now. A little problem is that it does cover the window to look down into the stroller so if you need to keep an eye on the kids it is a litle harder.

This product has been very useful for our family. We have a 2 year old and a 1 month old. Even though it is not "recommended" for newborns, it works well for this age group. The seat can lay nearly completely back and it has a five-point harness set-up so that the baby will sit securely in the seat. Our 2 year-old does not need as much restraint, so we do not use the shoulder straps on her. It pushes easily. I do a lot of walking and it handles very well. The swivel feature is great for tight corners, but have to be careful when going up or down steps (even one) because it is not stable. The sun shade is not very helpful. It does not extend very far, so for our infant we have to clothespin a blanket across the front to keep sun or rain off of her. Overall, we would definitely recommend this product to anyone with two small children.

We actually purchased this stroller used recently and love it! We own the Schwinn Safari II single jogger and have loved that stroller and this is the same, but bigger for two. It's perfect for our 2 1/2 year old and 10 month old. The sunshade is my only complaint, it isn't functional, but we are picking up one we can add on to the stroller.
br /Other than that, this is great! Turns easily and my little peeps are right there in front of me, where I can see and talk to them easily. I like to fast walk and do some light jogging and it works great! We are looking forward taking it to our local farmers market and zoo this summer and other outings too.

the stroller is great as far as the construction of it. the fabric is good..some of the velcro looks worn though but still work. the only thing with the swirl is that when i run at a fast pace it moves uncontrollably so i had to lock it but at normal 'jogging' pace and walking it works fine. most if not all swirl front wheel have this issue they arent meant for a regular runner at a fast pace you will have to lock the front wheel. the stroller is lighter then the other one we got from baby'r'us. the only draw back is the sunshade doesnt go any further then what the picture shows. i had to buy an extra sun shade since the sun definitely are in my girls eyes. there isnt a parent tray, it just comes with a pocket attachment which is fine with me but not to my wife. i would buy it again if this one breaks.

We have had this stroller for over 4years and it has been through the war! We now have four kids all of which ride it in or have rode in it. Our 6yr and 4yr old sit on the little triangle foot part and hang on while the 2yr old and 6mo old sit in the seats. We have been through many 5K and 10K's with it and it has heald up great. We wouldn't recomend it for things like going shoping cause it is wider than a single stroller but it does fit through a 36" door which most don't. It has even heald up going through the air plane trips. Usuly they get broken or dammaged but it is durable. It is great to take to the beach and hiking on wide trails. After four years of hard abuse to it, we are finaly looking to get another one. The backs are higher than the other strollers that we have tried out. And the pocket in the back holds our sports bottles and cuppies (it only fits five cups but they stay pretty secure) But are still keeping the old one for when we do go running all the kids will have a seat.
I hope this helps!

This double jogging stroller is perfect. The swivel fron wheel is a must and makes walking or running with this stroller a dream. Both my husband and I love this stroller. The only complaints we have are the canopy or lack there of. It really needs to be larger or longer in front, to keep the sun out of my children's eyes. Also, there is no parent console for drinks. However, the BOB Handlebar Console For Duallie Strollers fits perfectly. I highly recommend this stroller!

I bought so many different strollers it's crazy. When my daughter was 4, my son 2, figured I'd get a new jogging stroller and that a single would be fine because it wouldn't be long until she was too big for a stroller anyway. So I bought the single Safari TT and loved it but she wasn't ready to give up that luxury so I went back and purchased the Double Safari TT also. They are both the best stroller out there, especially for the price. The front wheel can swivel OR stay stationary (I prefered the swivel because I don't jog : ) and it pushes with such ease, even when there are two children on board! It takes very little effort, even walks on country roads were a breeze. The maneuverability is incredible. I disagree with a previous review that they outgrow it and that it's not made for taller children because both of my kids are tall for their ages and we were still using it last year at the ages of 4 and 6. Granted she has definitely outgrown it now and her legs would hang over - but there was plenty of seating room for both to ride comfortably. Two thumbs up, this was a fantastic investment while I could use it. Highly recommend if you're shopping for a double stroller, no matter what the purpose (jogging, shopping, walking...). Awesome awesome stroller.

This is a fabulous stroller! It glides so smoothly; the swivel front wheel is awesome for steering. I am not a jogger, but I walk around town a lot, and the standard strollers do not cut it on the terrain. This stroller is a pleasure to drive, for both my husband and me (he is 6'2, and I'm 5'4). There is plenty of cargo space, from the parent tray with 2 cup holders, to the storage underneath, and a handy pocket on the back. Two things to note: this is better for use outdoors, as it will not fit through the door at the post office or grocery store; also, the front wheel has a quick-release feature - be sure to check for tightness. I saw my 2-year old messing around with the switch, but did not double-check behind him. When my brother was running with the stroller, the wheel released and the stroller turned over from momentum (they were going fast trying to get out of a massive rain downpour). The bright side of this is that we discovered how effective the seat straps are, and the kids were not hurt (only scared). *Note that this was an accident by the user, and not a defect of the stroller* I think this is a great stroller at a great price (~$180 after shipping when I bought it 18 months ago). I also have the single-stroller of the same model, but the straps do not tighten enough to keep my boy from climbing out (although he's more of a Houdini than his older 2 brothers). One more plus - the seat pads are easily removed and can be washed in the regular laundry.

We tested quite a few. This one is great. It doesn't have a hand brake as many others do, but we haven't found it missing. It seems to be designed for moms more than dads: I'm 6'1", which isn't that tall, and the handle is way too low for me to push comfortably. That's the only complaint. I took a bar end from a mountain bike and attached it so the tip was slightly to the right of the center of the handle. Now I don't have to lean over to push it.

After hours of searching for the right stroller, it only took me a few minutes after finding Instep and talking to their excellent customer service to know that I had found the perfect one for my family! We were so excited once it arrived, little assembly was required and we were on our way. Transporting it is effortless because it folds easily and fits right in the trunk. I use it everyday whether at the mall, walking around the block or jogging. My children are very comfortable and love the smooth ride! It's a very attractive stroller and I get compliments from people all the time. It was worth every dollar spent and we will use it for years to come. It also provides peace of mind to know that if we ever did have a problem or more questions, Instep will be there to give us superior customer service!!

I received this stroller (yellow/gray/black version) for my birthday last year. I have used it every single day for the past year, rain and shine. It has traveled at least 3 miles a day (on a slow day) walking my children to school and various activities throughout the four seasons. It has held up beautifully. It looks like I just bought it. I am 5'11" and my husband is 5'11" too and there has never been a problem with the height of the handlebar. My middle son loves to climb over the kid's bar to get in and my youngest son loves to sit back and relax. The slight recline of the seats have never been a problem. We have washed the seat pads several times and line dried them and they still look great. In the summer, we threw a light blanket over the shade and the bar for sun protection and we have a "Protect A Bub" Rain cover that works fabulous for the constant rain of the Northwest. The stroller and rain cover even work well in the occasional snow storm.
br / I live in an apartment and must go up and down stairs every trip. We also must fold the stroller up after each trip. I have never had any problem with it being hard to fold or going up or down stairs. I have taken it on the transit system, folded up of course. It fits into the trunk of my older Toyota Corolla with minimal effort. The soft parent console works for carrying a water bottle, wallet and keys. Everything fits into the basket underneath.
br /We do everything in this stroller; from grocery shopping and going to the park to jogging (just lock the front wheel). This is a great stroller for a great price.

We bought this stroller because we already had one single jogger for our triplets, but needed something better than our duoglider for trail walking and jogging. This stroller is FANTASTIC we love using it. Grandparents are enjoying it when they take the kids walking too! It was VERY easy to put together and it easy to get in and out of the car. A bit wide for shopping trips at the mall, but that's not our main use anyway. We had to call the 800 customer service number because the napper bar kept popping off during walks, and they were great! The same person who answered the phone was able to tell me how to fix the problem it worked! I can't say enough great things about this stroller! My in-laws use it, my husband and I use it, my Mom uses it we just love it! Great investment and a must have for those with multiples! Oh, it's very cute too!

This is great!!! The swivel wheel makes such a difference, especially with a double jogger. It is very smooth and it moves easily. My 3 1/2 year old and my 9 month old both enjoy going for a ride. My older son is very tall and the way this is built there is room for him to stretch out his legs. He is not cramped at all. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a double jogger. This is a quality product for a very good price.

I bought this stroller second-hand but in excellent condition. I have two two year-old boys of medium size for their ages, and, with winter coats on, this stroller is just too small. The straps on the five-point harness are adjusted to their loosest, and yet they are too tight. Sometimes I can't even fasten them! That isn't the only size problem, either; their heads touch the top, and their isn't enough room width-wise, either.

br /The "sunshade" is utterly useless. It might as well not even be there. It only "protects" from the sun if the sun is directly behind you. I have to drape a blanket off the front of the shade when heading into the sun, no matter where in the sky it is, or my sons complain.
br /
br /The one good feature are the underseat baskets, which are large and easier to access than our BOB Revolution. Also the swivel front wheel, but the BOB has that, too.
br /
br /As far as handling, I find this stroller a bit cumbersome. While it fits out the gates from our backyard, I can never get through without hitting one side or the other and having to readjust.

br /I am seriously considering re-selling this stroller and just sucking up the very expensive cost of the BOB. I love the single Revolution that I have, and I do think it is worth it.

Works well but needs some improvements.

Need to buy extended sunshade - the one provided not adequate.
Kids can't sit up straight - they're reclining and must hold bar to pull themselves up.
For the money still a good stroller but I'm sure there are better ones for more money.

I bought this for my 6 month and 2 1/2 yr old. The 2 yr old has nearly outgrown it length wise. Like other reviews I read before purchasing this product the sun shade is useless. The basket underneath is split in half which makes it difficult for me to put the backpack that I use as a diaper bag underneath (after lots of wiggling, shoving, grunting it finally fits.) I have pinched my fingers in the buckles more than once. Other than these complaints I like the stroller. It pushes well through gravel, is easy for me to load and unload in my small suv, and the kids can nap in it.

....I don't like about this stroller is that it doesn't have a good way to shield my babies from the direct sunlight. I think it stinks that you have to buy extra screens and rainguards for strollers when you will ovbiously need these items! Other than that this stroller has been a lifesaver. I recently brought home twin boys, and once my "help" left town after two weeks, it was great to be able to run the babies around the neigborhood. They love riding in it, and it's so easy to maneuver I love pushing it.

I have had this jogger for about 3months and let me tell you it is wonderful! I have two little ones, one is 2 and the other is 7months. The best features are the swivel front wheel and the ease of pushing and manuevering the stroller. I have really enjoyed it and used it both in the mall just browsing and outside in gravel/dirt while jogging. It is great for both! There are only a couple small reasons why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
It doesn't have a parent tray or cup holder-however you can purchase one that works great for about $15-$20.
The sunshade that is provided is not adequate-once again you can purchase one for about $25-$35.
It doesn't have a tray for the kids to put their snacks or drinks- but... it seems that both of my little ones prefer it that way they like to use the bar across the front as a foot rest instead!
It's heavy to lift-but... after lifting the kids all day it doesn't really bother me!
So overall I would recommend this stroller to any active parent who needs a good, reliable, easy to handle stroller! I love it!

I bought this stroller about a month ago, and I just love it. I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. I wanted a stroller for walks, zoos, parks, the mall, etc. I have the Jeep double stroller and it is a nightmare--very difficult to push, much too long, awkward...So I really wanted something that would be easy to manuever.
This stroller is great for my needs. I can even push it with one hand. It moves beautifully over smooth sidewalks and bumpy ones, too. The seats are more upright than I thought--most reviews complain about how far back they are reclined. I have not found this to be an issue. My kids love the stroller so far. The front swivel wheel is the best.
The negatives I've found are: no real parent console (there is a little bag type thing), the folded stroller is a little combersome but manageable if your vehicle is large enough for it, and the sun shade is not quite large enough to shade the children if you are walking in the sun. (I have not yet purchased an extension shade).
Would I buy it again? Yes!

We bought this stroller over a year ago. The first one we got actually broke (the front wheel) but we sent it back and got the second one. I like this stroller because it is very easy to maneuver when the front wheel isn't locked. It doesn't go through some doorways at stores, etc. very easily, but it is a great general purpose stroller especially for walks. The price is good and this is an overall good stroller. It does fold up easily but it is a little difficult to put into our car's trunk, but it is a double stroller so I don't expect it to be too compact.

This is our 3rd Instep for our family. The only complaint is that I wished the sun visor was bigger. Otherwise it is great. I love the swivel wheel which is why I purchased this double stroller. I looked at other brands but they did not have the front swivel wheel. It rolls great and it easily navigated. It is very easy to assemble. I would definitely recommend it. My daughter bought a cloth drink caddy that goes across the handles for hers that she likes.

This is a really lovely stroller the only BUT I have is the canopy ! It's very frustrating for the babies with the sun in their eyes and there is really nothing you can do with this canopy to prevent this. They really need to put a more retractable one on it.... the front wheel wobbled just after a week but all you do is remove the front triangle shaped black part (the foot rest for the babies) and tighten a nut underneath and thankfully I havent had the problem since but the main problem is the canopy ! Did they not know this when making the stroller ?????? I would really like to hear what other people have to say. !

I have had this stroller about a year. Its movement is really smooth and easy to turn. I am so happy I got the swival front wheel that can also be locked. Before I had my second son, I had the same version in the single,without the swival wheel. I could only use it for jogging because it was such a pain to turn. There is only one major problem with this stroller. The sun shade doesn't extend out far enough to block the sun. My 10 month old is always screaming because the sun is in his eyes I worry about them getting too much sun. I tried to put a blanket over the top but I had to keep stopping to replace it because both boys thought it was funny to pull it down. I thought maybe they made an extension for it but can't find one online. Other than that it is a really great stroller.

doesn't fit through old subway doors!!!

I am very pleased with this product. it is our only stroller, we use it for our baby twins but when we've been outside for a long time and our 2 year old son is tired we let him on one of his brother places, while the baby is carried in a baby carrier. And he takes a long nap in it!
br /unfortunatelly it doesn't pass throught the old wooden doors in the subway (brooklyn). it is aprox. an inch larger. so...don,t buy it if you don't owe a car. otherwise...it's perfect, unexpensive, sturdy...

Great for the price, but needs more shade

I've had this stroller for about a month and it's really nice. I wish the canopy was larger for more sun protection coverage. It just barely provides shade and this is only when the sun is above the stroller. It isn't effective when the sun shines into the stroller. I keep looking for a good sun protection accessory (that actually works), but haven't been successful. Would like to see InStep offer an additional sun protection solution.
br /
br /I do really like the stroller. I couldn't see buying a more expensive stroller instead with the hopes that the shade/sun canopy was better. That's a pricey risk!

The reason I bought this stroller was to be able to run whenever I felt like it. I have a 14 month old and a husband that works and runs himself, and I was tired of asking for a sitter to be able to go and run. I think the stroller is perfect for what it was meant for. However, we will not be able to take this stroller on a trip or anything because as of right now our vehicles are cars and it will not fit unless we take the wheels off and at that point I find it pointless. The wheel in the front is also a little wobbely when you don't have it locked which is a little annoying but other than that I really like it and it does the job I bought it for.

This stroller is light and easy to push. It turns on a dime even when the front wheel is in the locked position. The seats recline easily and the hood has a clear pane in it so you can see your children when the hood is deployed. I like this stroller much better than my more expensive Zooper single stroller. Most importantly, my children like it, too! However, the lack of adequate sun screen as well as the difficulty getting things in and out of the basket underneath the stroller is why I didn't give it a 5-star rating.

I like it, don't love it.

While the stroller itself is good quality, easy to put together, there are just a couple things that would be nice, the shade doesn't cover anything, and my two year olds head hangs over the top but he doesn't seem to notice, I wish it had a parent tray, but I guess you can buy those seperatly. but it does push really nice, I keep the front wheel locked b/c it shakes if you are going on a fast walk. and the colors are really cute, lots of compliments, the bottom holder is really small so as long as you aren't planning to pack a lot it is good, all in all it is a good stroller for the price.

br /adding to my first review, afer having it for a while, I still like it, however the front wheel fell right of in the middle of a walk, we barley hit a bump. I was able to shove it back on even though the metal was bent.

And by solid I do mean solid. This is a heavy stroller. I don't have a problem moving it in and out of our van (not too bad for my tall wife) but for some people it could be tricky.
br /Many have mentioned the ineffectual sunshade. I agree. We bought a flexible shade that works fairly well if there is minimal wind.
br /This is a cost-effective choice. For the money it is a great value. There is decent storage underneath, and I found the strapped-on cupholder on the handle adequate for our needs. It is not the "tray" described in the literature.
br /The wheels are sturdy. I was glad to have actual tires. This makes for a nice ride for the kids (1 almost 3) who have never seemed uncomfortable.
br /It would be nice to have some kind of cover for the shoulder and leg straps. We used receiving blankets when my daughter was smaller.
br /We took it to the beach last Saturday and it was great on the sand. When the kids wanted to walk it held all the gear, a plus for a hot day.
br /I recommend it highly. The 4 star is for the weight and sunshade. The value more than compensates, but the product itself is still 4 stars.

I was happy to find a good deal here for a double jogger stroller. I do not jog with ours but we used our older version for busch gardens, walks, disney etc and hated that the wheel didnt swivel in the front, so I am very HAPPy to have a front wheel that swivels. its sorta heavier than our older one and i so wish they had a better parent tray type thing or areas for larger cups and things and a bigger shade for the kiddos. But besides that my tall five year old and four year old sons love it and did well in it on our first outing recently. I did order the BOB parent tray thing to use for it and it does help some... i did like someone here recommended and put the other one down there for the boys to put their cups but their cups were too large and spilled over so maybe smaller cups would work i dont know... my dh is tall and didnt mind it was a lower handle he was also happy about the front swivel wheel! I like the bar too because makes it a little more difficult for them to jump out hehe since they are long legged which helps us but you can take it off if wanted as well so it does remove... I was glad to see the reviews here to help with things to order extra for it and the part about it closes better without using the clip for closure for fitting in the trunk... i do wish all the colors were marked down and not sure where there was one for 150something as it says prices started at as i didnt see any that price but for 160ish we thought it was a good deal!

LOVE IT!!!

I am a mother of a two year old and a 6 month old and have never owned a jogger before. I love it! It it rides so smoothly and my kids love it. It is so easy to push and steer. There is plenty of storage in the basket. The only thing I would do to change it is have a better canopy--it does not provide much shade for the kids at all. The other thing I love it that the seats recline-independently so my 6 month can lay back and my 2 year old can sit up. It doesn't go up to a 90 degree angle but my other graco single stroller didn't either and it isn't a big deal with my son-he just holds the grab bar if he wants to sit up more. Overall--awesome product and recommend to anyone.

this stroller is working out well for us. it is nice to have the front wheel swivel when you are just using it at the park, and you can lock it for jogging. My 3yr old is a little tall for it, but she can still use it and should be able to for ar least another year without too much trouble.

This is a great stroller if you're looking for a reasonably priced jogging stroller. I love the swivel front wheel, the handy sack you attach for drinks, phone, keys. The only drawback is that it doesn't have room for storage or their toys and it doesn't provide shade. Overall, I would recommend this stroller.

I just got this stroller and went for my first walk yesterday. It rides really smoothly, so the walk itself was a pleasure. Definitely missing parent tray, and I agree with one of the reviews-storage at the bottom is very hard to get to, relatively small, too. Canopy-disaster! Did not protect from sun, so my kids were sun tanning all the time, I did not like that. My daughters are 17 months and 6 weeks old, older one seemed to be fairly comfortable, but not much room to grow. Soon her head will probably touch canopy, also the seat did not appear to be roomy, but she had winter jacket on, so maybe that is why. She is average kid, rather taller, but definitely not chubby.
br /Before we ordered it, we read lots of descriptions on different websites, and every one gave different dimensions. It was critical to us, since we only have Honda Civic, so were worried if it would fit in the trunk. IT DOES! With no problems, too, even leaving room for some more small stuff. It is a little heavy, but quite compact as for what I would expect from a double jogger. I am guessing this is the reason we have to sacrifice all the trays, holders and other gadgets.
br /My girls weight under 40lb total, and sometimes it was hard to push - uphill or downhill (then the stroller was "too fast"

Just received the stroller and assembled it in about 20mins. Sturdy construction as well as having features that weren't given in the description, ie the front wheel is capable of locking into place as well as freely rotating. After reading a couple reviews I was worried about the "leaning seats" issue. Not a problem, seats can be individually raised to about a 85° angle, maybe they just didn't read the manual.
br /
br /The only beef I have with the stroller is the actual beef of it. It is not compact by any means which is typical for a jogger. Folded down I would estimate the size to be about 2.5ft wide x 3ft tall x 1.5 deep. It takes up a lot of space if you,re planning on taking this thing on a vacation. But other than that I have no issues with it and would highly recommend it. If you don't care about the colors you can get this for a steal here w/ free shipping. Hope this helps.

My girls are 18 months apart, this stroller was one of the best purchases I have ever made. It folds easily and fits in my car and is the only stroller I have ever owned, and I've owned about 10, that i can easily manuever with one hand. That means that when the baby is grouchy and refuses to sit in the stroller on the way back to the car, I can hold her on my hip and stear the stroller loaded with my toddler and all our gear with no problem. There are occasionally doors we don't fit through unless we open up the door next to it, but again the stroller is so manueverable its really not a big deal. I was worried about the reviews that talked about kids not being able to sit up all the way, but my girls, who are usually very finicky about that kind of thing, have never had an issue with it. They love the smooth ride and have no problem sitting side by side.

Great Product

I read the reviews of several before purchasing this particular stroller. After having this stroller for over a month, I love it. It's very light to pick up, easy to fold and lift and very easy to push and steer. I have not had to use the swivel wheel as of yet. The storage underneath is handy and it has pocket on the back. The pocket does not hold heavy items and there is no place for a drink holder. My kids are almost 3 years old and they do not seem to mind that there is not a cup or snack holder. They enjoy riding in it because they get to sit side by side and they also like the canopy. I guess my only complaint would be not having an adult cup holder but I already knew that when I bought it. This stroller was in my price range and I am not disappointed with this purchase at all.

After doing much research, my wife and I decided on this stroller. My wife uses it alot for taking our two kids (3 and 2) running/walking around the neighborhood, but the flexibility to unlock the front wheel makes it very practicle while out shopping or sightseeing. I thought it would be too big to get around with, but the pivoting front wheel makes it very mobile. The stroller is very light weight and fairly compact when folded which is VERY easy to do. Great storage is a plus as well. I guess we can't say enough good things about this stroller, if you get it, you won't be disappointed.

I love it and so will you!!

First, I want to thank you for the reviews that people post for this product. It helped me to choose the perfect stroller for my two sons(1 yr & 2 1/2 yrs old. The stroller is smooth, steady, and easy to manouvre around. An option of the swivel front wheel is 'the best' part because, it's easy for quick turns. The only problem I have is, the shade does not serve its purpose when we are facing the sun. I have to hang an extra blanket on the shade to keep them away from the sun. Beside that, this stroller is making me a happier mom on the block!!

I'm very happy with this stroller. I was afraid to get a jogger b/c they're expensive, but this one is very reasonable & well reviewed. NOW, I'm hooked! It's so easy to push and steer...walking or jogging. I don't ever want to use my double duo-glide again. That thing is a tank compared to this. We have a 3 1/2 year old and 1 1/2 year old...we take a daily walk...even with our 85 pound dog on his leash...we live in a VERY hilly neighborhood and this is SO light to push, I can usually use one hand.

This jogger is wonderful on our dirt road and on hiking paths. It is surprisingly light-weight and with the swivel wheel, it turns like a dream. It really does move well and is easy to push with very little effort. It was well worth the money as we use it on our 1/2 mile dirt drive everyday, at least twice a day. My 2 1/2 year old daughter and 10 month old son absolutely love it.

I love this stroller. I had a tandom double stroller by graco and I loved it but my kids are now 3 and 4 (15 months apart), and they outgrew our stroller. I wanted a jogging stroller because my kids still fall asleep and need to be laid in a stroller sometimes when we are out or for days where there is a lot of walking (disneyland!). This jogging stroller is perfect for them. They are older but fit into this stroller better than our tandom stroller. Their feet used to drag into the wheels and their legs did not fit under the child tray bar so this stroller allows them to fit more comfortably. I have a 3 and 4 year old on the taller side but this still works. At least it works better than what we had before. I can't wait to use it!

This is a great jogging stroller and it is just as good as the BOB or other expensive jogging strollers.

I love my stroller, especially for the price. I find it to be very well made, easy to use, and not heavy at all. I too own a Schwinn TT single and love it as well. After reading several reviews which do not do this stroller justice there are a few things that people should know. The stroller folds flatter than the latch they put on, you need to recline the seats so they do not get caught on the canopy. The front wheel is secured by the same latch mechanism on bicycles, it is quite secure. The brakes are independent from each other and can be released with your foot (toe), you do not need to use your hand.
br /
br /As others have stated the canopy is not the greatest. The stroller is extremely maneuverable and is great value for those of us who have uneven sidewalks or like to go on nature walks. I have 3 boys, 4.5, 2.5 and 11 mos. and they love it as well. I can live without all the "bells and whistles"!

The day we received the stroller we were very excited. We put the stroller together which was very simple per instruction. However, when we took the stroller out of the entryway of our house the elbow of the stroller where the stroller folds caught the underarm of the babies skin and pinched it into the elbow. Of course it tore the skin and the baby was screaming. We have not used the stroller again and we are still trying to resolve this issue with the company. I would not reccommend this double jogger to anyone at this time.
