Cons:

I got this item based on what was printed in the Baby Bargains book! I had previously been looking at the Reebok jogger (made by Baby Trend, I think). I have been so happy with this stroller. We started using this stroller when DD was 3 weeks old, and used the infant insert until she was about 10 months old. DD loves this stroller and pretty much knows when we go on a walk in a different stroller. We can tell she isn't as comfortable.I usually use this for fast walking/slow jogging, but I I did complete a 5K with it and had no problems with it at all!My only slight complaint is that one of the tires doesn't seem to hold air very well, and that one of the bolts off of the handlebar came out; luckily DH is handy and just put a zip tie in it and it works the same.

Wonderful jogger for the price. Purchased in 2004 after reading reviews on joggingstroller.com. They kept repeating how this was the best stroller for the money and couldn't believe why more people did not choose this brand.My 3.5 yr old can still fit with ample room to grow. Used an added snuggly type insert with a newborn. I am 5'2" and my dh is over 6 ft and we both can jog behind this stroller with ease. Quality product at an affordable price. No regrets!

I bought this stroller from an E-bay store in October 2006 for about $180. I found it to have all the features and more of a BOB or Baby Jogger but at half the price. It is similar in price to many joggers at Babies R Us but is SO much better! It rides very smoothly and my son seems to enjoy it - he rides quietly or falls asleep every time. We've used it since he was about 3.5 months old. Cons: although it has a very high weight limit, I can't imagine being able to use it with an older toddler because the shoulder harness straps aren't very long. Also, my son ends up a but slumped to one side or the other as the restraint system doesn't keep him perfectly vertical - however, as I mentioned this doesn't appear to bother him at all. This said, I am very pleased with my purchase because of the price and all the features (2 bottle holders, lots of storage for keys, cell phone, included rain guard, incredible canopy). I figure by the time my son outgrows it I will hopefully have another child and will need to buy a double anyway!

Pros:
The adjustable handle bar and the weight distribution
Cons:
Hard to fold, seat not very deep
|

I have been using this stroller for just over a month (I run about 2.5 - 3 miles on asphalt surface 5 times/week), and I really like it. It has a height adjustable handlebar (I'm short so I specifically sought out this feature) with a broad range of height possibilities. There is ample room to tote along items for a run - some netting, a zipper pouch, and an undercarriage basket (small). The sun canopy is really nice- provides good coverage, full range of positioning. The weight is well distributed to the rear, making turns really simple (my run has many turns and I don't really notice). The rain canopy is easy to put on also.
The biggest drawbacks include the seat and the folding mechanism. The folding is fairly intuitive, I just find it physically tricky sometimes. The mechanism seems to stick, and it sometimes requires a little more strength than I would like. I feel like the seat is not as deep as I would imagine it should be to be comfortable (although my now 7 mo old never complains). The straps are somewhat tricky to adjust, and I find she sometimes slips one arm out. She may grow into this stroller over time though.
Overall, I like this stroller a good deal. I haven't tried out many others, but I feel the price was right (about $270 from Albee baby with free shipping) for the features and quality.

I bought this stroller because of the review in Baby Bargains and I got it from an EBay store for $180. It has aluminum alloy wheels that are 16 inches and it reminds me of a SUV because it is quite tall but very durable and good quality. One thing I like about it is you can put a very small infant in it as well as a larger toddler. I haven't yet tried to put it in my car, but since I walk/rollerblade at least once a day for an hour or so, it seems it will be built to last a long while. I had returned a jogging stroller from Toys R Us (Babies R Us) that was similar in price, but very, very different in quality, weight and durability.
