4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Price, however..., May 23, 2007

By	Jennifer (Alaska) - See all my reviews

I got this stroller a few weeks ago and have walked plenty with it. It is so easy to maneuver and push. It is so agile! The seat backs do lay back a bit, which is a little weird for my almost 3 yr old, but is fine for my 6 monther. I had my heart set on the BOB duallie, but with a $500 price, it wasn't an option, this is a fine alternative. THe color combo is awesome-and the swivel wheel is incredible. I will never buy a jogging stroller without a swivel wheel after using this one!! It is a tad on the heavy side when folded, but it is still doable-

I do have some suggestions for InStep though, if anyone from there is reading my review!:

1. If you are going to continue to make a sun shade, at least make one that is functional that will actually
provide shade!! No sense wasting money producing the current shade version, it is practically useless. Charge a few bucks more and make a great one (I have a BOB single stroller and the shade is incredible!!!)

and

2. Provide some type of mesh pocket within the child's seat for them to put a water bottle/snack etc. There is great parent storage under this stroller-but nothing for the kids to utilize! (I ended up strapping the little parent console part onto to the bar in front of the kids so that my toddler can keep her snack there. It is an ok solution-but now I have nothing, and often her snacks/cups fall out.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good stroller, but be wary with taller kids who want to sit all the time., March 31, 2007

By	Jennifer Troester "JenandKT" (NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this stroller for my 6 mo old and 3 yo. My 3 yo daughter is tall for her age, and at 40 in her head comes above the back of the seat and she sits scrunched up when both feet are on the foot rest. When I take her out in it she usually lets one foot dangle over the side of the foot rest to be more comfortable. She is a better fit if reclined back a little, but even that is tough since her head is past the top of the seat. I don't see this stroller lasting us as long as I would hoped...like when we go back to Disney in 2 years. The weight max is 100lbs, but they must think kids are made short and fat, b/c it just doesn't accomodate taller kids. It would be nice if they made it so that the seat came all the way up to the hood...

The seats are close together, too, which I guess would probably be true of any stroller. It gives my 3 yo easy access to her 6 mo old brother, though, which he doesn't particularly like.

The seats are comfy, though, and I think it would be a GREAT stroller for twins or younger/shorter siblings. The front swivel wheel is awesome...so nice not having to pick up the front end every time to you want to turn.

AND it easily fits into my car, which is just a small Corolla...my single Baby Trend jogger didn't even do that!

I would recommend getting a sunshade extender, though...if you are facing the sun head on there is no protection at all.

So overall, if you aren't looking to spend $500 on a dbl stroller, I would get this one. Probably an older kid wouldn't mind SO much that he/she is a little tall...I mean, even though my daughter is she didn't complain about it, and was able to lie down on her side to nap...so it is really just me. It is a good stroller for the price, and older kids want to walk a lot of the time anyway, so it's good enough.

Hope my rambling review was of some help!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not for tall children, November 16, 2007

By	Elisa's Mom (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

As the price suggests, this isn't a BOB. I've had a BOB Ironman for about a year and love it. But now that I have two kids, I needed a double stroller that could carry the kids on walks through the neighborhood and through the zoo. I wasn't ready to pay for the BOB Dualie.

The InStep Safari seems to do the job. It handles the rough sidewalks better than any umbrella stroller and my kids seem comfortable riding in it. Obviously, the design and construction are not as good as the BOB, nor does the material seem as comfortable. A BOB will come with pads for the shoulder straps: this one doesn't. For the price though, you have to expect that it's not going to have the BOB bells-and-whistles.

Two considerations:

(1) If you're seriously thinking about using a stroller for jogging/running, I would opt for a different, higher quality stroller. This one does not have a hand brake and does not seem sturdy enough for a speedy ride.

(2) Consider the height restriction: 38 inches. My two-year-old is 35 inches and her head nears the top of the seat and her legs almost hang over the foot rest. If you have a tall child, you may want to choose a different stroller.
