I bought my Tike Tech ATX about a year ago for $189. This price also included a "deluxe" raincover. I resisted the urge to buy a more expensive jogger (I'd had my heart set on the BOB but couldn't justify the cost given that I'm not a "serious" runner and already owned 2 other strollers) and after doing some research thought that the ATX would be a good, less-expensive alternative.Overall, the ATX has lived up to my expectations. Even though it cost under $200, the quality seems to be quite good. I've found their customer service to be very responsive and efficient. I've used the stroller for walking on mixed terrain (pavement, sand, gravel, grass) and it's very easy to maneuver on all surfaces. I've also run short distances (under 5 miles) with it on a semi-regular basis and found no problems there. It's easy to push one-handed, tracks straight, and has safety features for jogging like a leash and a handbreak. My biggest complaint about the ATX is the canopy - it's a pretty pathetic canopy for a jogger. The stroller also came with a zip-on "canopy extension" which is pretty much useless (it's made of mesh and adds maybe about 2" of coverage) I bought a Kiddopotamus sunshield and that's helped quite a bit. I would have gladly paid a little more for a better canopy.A few other comments:1) The stroller has a good amount of storage - there's a large pocket on the back of the seat and 2 smaller pockets on the canopy sides (although I can't access those when my aftermarket sunshield is attached) plus the basket. The basket is fairly large but not all that sturdy - the instructions say not to put more than 5 lbs in it. I've definitely exceeded that, but you couldn't for instance stick a gallon of milk in there.2) The BOB handlebar console fits perfectly on this stroller.3) It's nice that the handlebar adjusts for different heights, and that the napper bar is adjustable/removable 4) I don't know what the weight limit is, but you could fit a really big kid in this stroller without a problem. The seat is wide and fairly deep, and the footrest is quite low - in fact, I think it will be years before my DD's feet can reach it!5) The stroller is fairly lightweight, has what I'd call a midsized fold, and stands on its own when folded. There is no mechanism to lock it into the folded position. I can easily carry it up and down my front stairs and load it in and out of the car. Overall, I think the ATX is probably a better-quality alternative to some of the other under $200 joggers out there. It doesn't have many bells and whistles but it's a good, solid stroller that I anticipate will hold up for many years. If you're a serious runner and can afford something pricier, I'd say go for a BOB, Dreamer Design or Baby Jogger, but if not, I'd recommend the ATX. Just don't forget to buy an add-on sunshade!
