Stay in shape without dropping the kids off at the sitter first with the InStep Ultra Runner 2 double jogging stroller. Ideal for use on the sidewalk, in the park, and even in the mall, the Ultra Runner 2 boasts a lightweight aluminum frame that holds two children at once, yet folds quickly and easily after use for compact storage. As a result, you don't have to dedicate a corner of the garage to the stroller, but can instead stuff it in a closet. The jogger is also ultra-comfortable for your kids, with an airy, vented cabin, a reclining seat, and a rear suspension system that cushions the ride from bumps and potholes. And parents will love the spacious behind-seat and under-seat storage areas, which provide plenty of cargo room for groceries, toys, and other small accessories.

Additional features include a convenient parent console, a generous canopy with a fold-down visor to protect your little ones from the sun, a five-point harness for safety, mesh venting in the rear, a padded push bar, and quick-release wheels. Recommended for kids around 6 month olds, the Ultra Runner 2 offers a maximum capacity of 100 pounds and measures 41.25 by 54.5 by 32 inches (W x H x D) when assembled.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Instep double stroller purchase., October 9, 2007

This review is from: InStep Ultra Runner 2 Double Jogging Stroller (Sports)

This is the upgraded version of the 10K model they used to make. I have had that model for 4 yrs, running with 2 kids and 2 dogs 5 times a week.
I am an avid runner.
I ran it into the ground. I broke off the right side frame lock because I didn't secure it correctly.
The rear suspension is good for other than road terrain, the wheels are a great size for a jogging stroller and I like the fact the front wheel is NOT a swivel- what a pain when running.
Lots of storage for bags/cameras/water btls/blankets.
My kids are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 and the older one still fits when the seat is in its most upright- fits even better when the seat is reclined some.
My big beef with this new model is the absence of padded seat liners that they used to include on the older models.
This is bogus. They of course sell them for $20 each, but hell, charge me $20-$30 more for the stroller and include them.
I will be calling and complaining to Pacific Cycle about that decision.
I took the old ones off my 10K model, washed them, turned them over and will use them.
That is the reason for the 4 Star instead of 5 Star- without the pads, the seats are not going to be very comfy.
Other than that, the 10K was SOLID and this model is a spitting image. I ran that thing all over, took it hiking, to Disneyland, etc.
Folds up nicely and even flatter if you remove the quick release wheels.
I have no idea why you would want a brake on the handlebars on a stroller. In all the running I have done, up and down major hills I have never, NEVER needed to use the hand brake. In fact I had disconected it on the old model and totally forgot about it.
It is not like you ever get to going the speed of a bicycle and would need that kind of help with braking and I believe your feet are on pavement when running- I tend to use the "Flinstones" method of stopping the stroller.
Fred's method not Barny's, don't be ridiculous.
The stroller is rugged, sturdy, not demasculizing and light.
The canopy is ok, but sun is going to get into their faces when you are running into it. I turn the stroller backwards and run pulling it in these instances. I haven't seen any canopies that would really be much better at sun blockage in early mornings.
A very good value for around $200, just horrible seat pad decision from the manufacturer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good buy for the price, July 6, 2007

This stroller is light weight, easy to maneuver (the non-swivel front wheel is best for those who walk at a fast pace or actually jog), and has nice large, inflatable wheels for making it over big cracks in the side walk and jumping curbs. It has sufficient storage areas and is very sleek and sporty looking. The kids enjoy it for our evening jogs.

This stroller is great for walking (I'm not a runner). The kids also sit up high (which they like). The storage area underneath is large and secure, and the tires are inflatable, so you can go over curbs, grass and bumpy terrain quite easily. Have used it hiking on fireroads; the strong brake is essential for the descent, and it works incredibly well...allowing you to keep control of the speed when going downhill. The strap placement is adjustable on top, so you can keep infants secure and then later adjust the shoulders when they get taller. I've had it for several months now, using it 2-3 times a week and it still looks new! very durable.
