InStep Dual Jogging
Stroller
Suburban
Safari 2 Multiple Double Jogging Stroller
The Suburban Safari 2 from InStep is one of
the most affordable at $168. The low price however does not
necessarily indicate lower quality. In fact, it has several
features that are found in higher end models and brands.
It has a pair of 16 inch back wheels and a
12 inch front wheel. This is the model you would want if you
plan to jog around corners a lot. The swivel function makes it
easier for you to navigate paths that aren’t straight. The
swivel can be locked for straight path walking or jogging. For
added safety, it has its own handbrake and tether so you don’t
have to worry about the safety and comfort of your kids when
you have to make a quick stop.
This InStep dual jogging stroller has other
features that make it a true bargain. It can be folded with one
hand for greater convenience to parents with a lot on their
hands. It also comes with its own retractable canopy and
viewing window, bug mesh and reclining padded seats.
Minor problems with this model include the
lack of child and parent trays. It comes only with a child bar
and a mesh for the jogger. The canopy may also sometimes
provide insufficient coverage especially when the sun is
shining head on. These may be minor issues depending on your
specific needs. For some parents, these missing or insufficient
features may be a big deal. Then again for such an affordable
price, you may not mind at all.
Run Around
LTD 2 Double Jogging Stroller
The Run Around LTD 2 seems to have been made
with your kids’ comfort in mind. Like other strollers, this one
comes with a reclining seat. Unlike other models though, this
one has a vented mesh. Now your kids can sit comfortably
without getting irritated by warm weather. A canopy with a
front visor provides better protection than other models. Aside
from the seat and canopy features, it also has a rear
suspension which will ensure smoother rides for your kids even
on bumpy areas.
Aside from added comfort, you can also
expect a safe ride for your kids. It has a five point harness
and a sturdy steel frame. Although it is heavier to lift than
other models at 37 lbs. because of its frame, it can be folded
with one hand and stored easily. In addition, it has a
convenient handbrake so parents don’t have to worry about
sudden stops even on downward paths.
This InStep jogging stroller has other added
features you may be interested in. These include a storage
basket, seat storage, parent tray, padded handle and quick
release wheels. For $200 this model can already give you what
you basically need from a jogging stroller and more.
This model though may not be for you if you
need to move a lot around tight corners. Seat cushioning also
does not seem to be sufficient for some kids. Height limitation
is also a problem. Tall kids may find this ride just a little
uncomfortable. There have been some complaints of some
strollers of this model breaking easily.
