5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Jogger For The Price - Great features, November 8, 2010

By

This review is from: Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger (Sports)

I am extremely happy with this stroller, I am an Engineer and I found it to be very well designed and constructed. It tracks perfectly straight with the front wheel locked in the fixed position, and does not pull to any side at all. The front wheel has absolutely no wobble, I have heard this complaint about swivel wheel strollers, but this one tracks perfectly. There is a nice feature that I haven't seen on other swivel wheel strollers, it has a lock/unlock release lever under the handle, so you can lock or release the front swivel wheel on the go, and not have to bend over and find the release above the swivel wheel like on other models. The cup holder and storage tray are great quality and have rubber tabs to hold drinks securely. The child tray swings out of the way to help getting children in and out. The quality of all materials used on the stroller are above what I expected, and what I have seen used on other strollers. The adjustable rubberized handle is great since I'm 6'-4" and my other children like to push the stroller sometimes as well. Storage basket underneath is ample and can be removed. Folding the stroller is easy, you grab (2) red finger tabs just forward of the handle and push the button on the right one, and it collapses easily. There is a swing bracket to hold it in the closed position. A common complaint is that joggers aren't small when folded, and this one is no different. Removing the rear wheels is simple. and the front one has a spin remover like a bicycle. Assembly was easy(it's 90% assembled in the box, only (4) small screws to attach the plastic protector above the swivel wheel, all other parts snapped in place including parent tray, child tray, and the rear wheels(you need to inflate the tires). Seat adjustment is simple with a locking tab and strap system that lets you coose any position in the strap range.

My only complaint so far is when the faux lamb seat cover is in place, and my one year old daughter has a winter coat on, the permanent seat belts are snug, seat belt extensions are included that solve the problem, but increase the number of clips to get your child in and out. In the summer, I think this won't be an issue since the lamb seat cover and winter coat aren't needed, and the seat belt extensions won't be needed. The only other item I will note, but it's not one I care about, is there aren't pockets on the canopy, seatback, or stroller for misc. items like I have seen on other strollers. I did find (2) small pockets on either side of the stroller that hold the infant carrier straps when not in use.

Some other information that may help you with your decision. First, this model is the same as the In-Step Grand Safari if you want to price compare. The main differences I saw are the wheel style, color scheme, and warranty. I went with the aluminum spoked wheels on the Schwinn vs. the molded 5 spoke wheels on the Grand Safari. Also the plastic parts are black on the schwinn vs. grey on Grand Safari. (I liked the black to help hide future scuffs) Also the canopy/seat color schemes are different. The Schwinn has a 5 year warranty and I believe the Grand Safari is 1 year. The Turismo and Grand Safari have the spring suspension on the rear wheels(you can zoom in on the photo and see the springs) that the lower In-Step models like the Safari do not have. The MP3 speaker is a single speaker, not stereo. The front of the seat under the legs is fixed and does not tiltdown, some other Schwinn strollers have tilt down, and this one does not(not an isssue). There is a small clear plastic rain visor built-in to the front of the canopy, that folds up under the front of the canopy when not in use. It is only a couple of inches wide, and I don't think it would be very helpful in the rain and I haven't had a need to try it yet. There is a clear viewing window in the top of the canopy with a velcro cover flap.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this stroller to others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but so heavy!, January 20, 2011

As other reviewers have mentioned this stroller is very well made and performs well. In those respects I'm pleased with it. I think it is an excellent product for the price. However, a word of caution for buyers who are smaller stature or just don't want to lug around a gigantic stroller. This thing is 35 lbs! That is pretty heavy even in the world of all terrain joggers like this one. Because of the large size (normal to this type of stroller) it is difficult to fold and lift even for someone in good shape and used to carrying around a 35 lb toddler. I was hoping to use this as my only stroller but there is no way I can lift this sucker in and out of the car constantly, I'll break my back. Just please be aware of this before making this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stroller for gravel roads, October 27, 2010

I don't usually write reviews, but have so enjoyed this product I wanted to help others who may be trying to sort through the nerve racking process of deciding on a stroller! I ordered this stroller in August, after researching for a month, and I have used it nearly every day, walking with my son (born in July) on gravel roads. I wasn't sure how it could accomodate various car seats, but you set it in the stroller (back sets into child cup holder) then straps tighten it in. It works VERY well. I initially compared two other jogging strollers that were $100 more, and this one popped up the day I went to order. I'm very glad it did. We have taken this to an outdoor wedding, and we farm, so this works great on the gravel we walk on. The handle is adjustable - so great for tall and shorter. I am 5' 10" and the handle isn't all the way up for me. On windy days, I have pulled the stroller cover up to meet the car seat cover and he's been pretty protected. There really isn't anything I would change on this product. I have not used the swivel feature much- I am satisfied with the tire being straight. It is relatively easy to fold up- we can fit it into our car trunk (it's a tight fit), but with the tires this size, that's inevitable. I think it is well worth the money, given the increase usage you will get out of it.
