Pros: Price, weight
Cons: Alignment, transport/fold

I purchased the Schwinn Free Runner stroller from Target for only $70. I didn't do my research prior to purchasing as I was planning to buy another brand stroller for $250, so I couldn't pass this bargain up.

My biggest complaint with the stroller (and have seen other reviews online stating the same) is that the front wheel alignment is off. You can adjust it so that the stroller rolls straight, however it quickly re-adjusts itself so that it pulls severly to the left. Its a nice light weight stroller with great momentum that requires little effort to push, but does require auto correcting the stroller direction every other push.

Also with folding/storage you do need to remove the front wheel so if you plan to make this a portable stroller it will take some time to pack & unpack. I just keep mine at home with infrequent trips out so this was not a major issue for me.

For the price I think it's a fine stroller. For the serious runner this would not be worth the savings as you spend more energy correcting the stroller than you do running! :) I would recommend this stroller to others who do light running and anyone who is just looking for a 2nd stroller.
