4.0 out of 5 stars Overall Happy With Stroller, November 21, 2008

I wanted to post a review because when I was researching double jogger strollers, I really appreciated people who left their comments. There are so many out there, it can be a little overwhelming when deciding what to get.

My story is: I have a 3 year old and 15 month old. I just wanted to walk in the neighborhood to get fresh air and get out of the house. I don't run..just walk...so keep that in mind when reading this review.

What I like about this stroller:
1. LOVE the basket underneath...pleanty of room for diapers, cooler for sippy cups, etc.
2. rides smooth for the kids
3. easy to push, don't feel the weight of the kids at all
4. was easy to assemble. i did need help with the front wheel, which my husband ended up putting on for me.
5. in my price range. i just couldn't bring myself to pay a house mortgage payment for the nicer models..i was seriously considering the BABY JOGGER CITY ELITE TWIN STROLLER but couldn't stomach the almost $500 price tag.

What I am neutral about:
1. parent tray was ok. it does the job but mine came with a netted cup holders. i guess with a double jogger stroller, it's hard to get a hard parent tray.
2. seats for the kids are ok. they probably have enough cushion but it's one of those things where i've read worse and i've read better about other stroller seats.

What I didn't like:
1. the shade cover doesn't quite do the job, but you can buy another shade cover to go on top of it. i really wanted a stroller that had 2 seperate shades but just couldn't find one in my price range.
2. no sippy cup holder for the kids

So overall, for my needs, this stroller does the job. For me, I wanted a jogger stroller with a large basket underneath and adequate shade cover. I had to compromise with the shade cover but was able to remedy that problem.

Hope this helps anyone researching double jogger strollers!
:)

3.0 out of 5 stars Great stroller if it fit through doors... Great outdoor stroller, bad indoor stroller, March 16, 2009

Hi, I purchased my stroller brand new online about a year ago, it was easy to assemble and I popped my kids in it who were 21 months and 3 months at the time. I could adjust the seat belts easly once I got them through the wooden back (Threading the seatbelts was tough at first but once you do it you wear the groove enough to adjust as needed). My kids love the ride, very smooth and I love the locking swivil wheel for jogging or for romping around in unpaved areas like trails, or the park, or dirt bike tracks. Never has toppled over, or tried tipping, so it's balanced nicely. The visor is nice to keep the rain off, sucks for keeping the sun out of their eyes. I purchased a rain/wind shield so my kids don't get cold or wet, fits snug and does it's job.

Compacts nicely and I love the removable rear wheels to fit into snug places like the back of my 91' honda civic.

Overall I like this stroller, I just wish it fit through regular doors. I've been embarressed a few times because I can't use it as a normal stroller as well as an outdoor stroller. I go to walk into a store with it, and if they don't have the double doors, then I can't fit it inside and have to turn around. (Sucks!)

I wish it had a hand brake and a wrist lead so if it gets away while going down hill it won't go far. Also the roll bar in front would have been nicer if it had cup holders or tray for kids to snack while out and about.

I love this stroller for all my outdoor rugged uses. I hate it for shopping or indoor uses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Stroller for the Money, May 1, 2009

This review is from: InStep Suburban Safari Double Jogging Stroller (Sports)

We bought the Suburban Safari 2 (with the 12 inch rear wheels) after a great deal of deliberation, for use as a walking stroller for around town and in the woods, rather than as a jogger. We wanted the bigger rear wheels, but the specs on some of the outside sites suggested that there might be more room in the seats of this one for older children, as compared to the original Safari.

Here's the breakdown of what we do/don't like:

Pros
-Easy assembly.
-The stroller handles really well & turns SO easily (after the Graco DuoGlider this is a dream). The swivel wheel is a must have for walking.
-My 15 month old and 3.5 year old (who is 40 inches tall)are both very comfortable and happy in this stroller. My three year old's head just barely reaches the shade, and her feet just reach the footrest.
-The seats sit all the way up, unlike so many other joggers that do a forced recline (ie. the Baby Trend). This is a huge pro for anyone with older children who would balk at the idea of reclining for a long ride.
-The blue/gray color is more attractive and of a more neutral palette than it appears online.
-The storage area on this stroller appears to be larger than on the original Safari.
-The mosquito netting (though I wish it were cut a bit more generously) is a nice bonus.

Cons:
-The biggest unexpected con so far is the shape of the handlebar. With any double stroller you have weight issues (ie. pushing 90 lbs. of stroller plus babies uphill). Like the DuoGlider before it, the Safari 2 doesn't have what I would call and ergonomically designed handlebar. So after lots of uphill, my wrists tend to hurt a bit from the lousy angle. Its saving grace is how easy it is to push despite the weight, and the fact that our walks aren't all uphill.
-The obvious sunshade issue, and the fact that the Kiddopotamus shade is a sub-par solution.
-I wish the Safari 2 had the larger rear wheels, like the original, while maintaining capacity for a taller child.

All told, this is a wonderful stroller for the price. Anyone who's tried other "inexpensive" double strollers knows just how difficult it is to find one that handles well, and allows walks to be a pleasurable experience for mom and babies. I'd absolutely recommend this stroller to anyone who's looking for a stroller for two.
