I did a lot of reading about all the major jogging strollers. I do about 50 miles a week, and also own a BabyJogger, which I also like very much. This one was for our vacation home, so I didn't want to spend another $300+ for an item I would only use part-time. I also didn't want the size of the B/J, which is quite long and too big for our little beach condo. But I wasn't sure what to expect for a cheaper jogger. I have to say, this has been a wonderful item. It is just as light as the B/J -- which is a real help since we also have to carry it up and down steps -- and moves almost as easily. The built-in drop-down rain shield is a real help given Miami's frequent showers and fast-changing weather. The sun-bonnet is huge, very important with all the harsh sun down here. It is very** comfortable to run or walk with, and maneuverable enough that we even use it as our regular out-and-about stroller. It assembled easily and folds up pretty well -- yes, you have to remove the wheels, which is a pain, but not a big one. The fully adjustable handlebar is great, esp. since my partner and I are about a half-foot different in height. About my only complaint is that they cheap-out and make you pay an extra $13 for a storage net underneath, and don't even really have one to fit this model -- this is a silly omission for any item aimed at serious or even semi-serious runners. But all in all we're very happy with it, the price is right, and it's competitive with the Baby Jogger. The B/J is definitely faster, but not much. I would definitely recommend this model if you want a high-quality jogger and budget is any consideration.

OK, so let me start by saying that I am a little older than middle age and I am not training for a marathon. I bought this jogger for running in the 30-40 minute range, a few times a week. I was a little concerned in that there is a whole series of joggers in the $300 and up category, but I thought I would try this model. I have only used it a few times, but find it to be very functional and meets my needs precisely. I have nothing to compare it too, but it does assemble easily and tracks smoothly. I think the documentation could be a bit better, but that is a very small gripe. The jogger arrived within a few days of my ordering it - even with Super Saver shipping.

br /I saw some consumer report complaints of joggers that would not track straight, and I can definitely say that this one is just fine. It pushes smoothly, and has adequate room for your feet when either running behind or alongside.

br /I am sure that there are some qualitative differences with the really expensive ones; but I would definitely say that if you want a good jogger, and a good value, this may be the one you are looking for. For a jogger who is out there several times per week, but maybe not training for a marathon, this seems to be an excellent choice.

I ordered this online after seeing the other favorable reviews ...

br /It arrived within 2 days - and my husband had easily put it together before I even arrived home from work.

br /I took it out for a walk/jog - and found it really comfortable (for me to push my 2yo daughter to ride in) and easy to maneuver. I don't think I'd want to take it to the mall - but it will be great for my short training runs.

br /I was also happy to find a back zipper pocket on the back of the seat - as well as a cool water bottle/holder tray at the top of the handle -
