 Happy Jogger July 28, 2010
A. Thomas (Evington, VA)
I bought this Schwinn after borrowing a friends and taking it out for a test spin. We have three small children and already had a Schwinn double jogger that had never given us any problems. However, I like this jogger better than the double because of the cup holder and storage compartment for the adult/jogger and the child tray which are things the double doesn't have. If your kids are up for the jog this is a great, smooth rolling jogger. Only note to make is that the front wheel can and has come off during a run. I would recommend checking the front wheel before a run just to make sure that you and your child have a safe and fun run.
Love! July 28, 2010

I got this stroller about 4 months ago and I am in love with it. We previously had a double Schwinn but I only have one child that needs a stroller now, so we needed to downsize to a single jogger. I tried out a lot of other brands (around the same price point or a little less) and I had to go back to Schwinn again. I love the feel when I push it -- so light and easy to handle. It works great for running and I can barely feel the weight of my daughter in it when I do. It has the all important swivel wheel in the front that is easy to switch back and forth from. It's easy to fold. Of course as with any jogger, it doesn't fold very compactly but it does an OK job. I got the blue and green color scheme and it's really quite nice. The fabric is stain resistant and easily wiped clean. The one thing I will say is that the drink/snack/toy tray wouldn't be able to be used with a very large child. My daughter is tiny, tiny at 2 years old (21 pounds) and she won't be able to use the tray for more than another 6 months, I'd wager. However, it can be taken off easily.

Easy review, not long winded:
Like:
Front wheel swivel or locked. I never lock even when I jog which is 4 times a week for 3-4 miles.
Rolls easily over all terrain encountered so far, east coast crappy sidewalks, beach, dirt, grass
Adjustable handle
Rolls super easy and is not heavy
Due to super easy rolling the brake is essential and works quite easily
When folded I can fit it into my Subaru hatchback pretty easily
Light so I can lift it eaily into my hatchback
Slight cons:
Front wheel has become a little difficuly after two beach uses. Won't turn to left as easily
Canopy adjusts but had to tinker with the screws to keep it in place. Velcro loop meant to help fasten canopy in upright position is worthless. Needs longer velcro. Snaps meant to hold canopy in upright position are a pain in the butt when you are jogging so I am going to try adding my own extra piece of velcro for quick easy adjustments.
Adult's drink holder is OK for low profile items like ipods, cell phones, etc but will not hold your water bottle when you go over a bump.
Overall very happy and so is baby.

I went through 239847234 reviews before making this purchase. I am not a hardcore runner but wanted something decent I could jog/run with once baby is big enough.
Adjustable handlebar (which the BOB does not offer)
Zippered pocket on seat back
Swivel/Locking front wheel
Removable seat padding
Five point harness (did not come with shoulder padding)
Parent console and baby snack tray which can easily be removed (they just snap in/out)
Rain cover is built-in; it zips up into the canopy (LOVE!)
Foot brake
One hand folding mechanism:
The wheel needs to be in swivel mode for the stroller to fold properly. It does not lock once it's folded , but if you pick it up on the handle end it's pretty easy to get it in and out of the car.
Just a few cons that were not deal breakers for us, but might be for the avid runner:
No hand brake.
Lower basket does not hold very much weight (our small diaper bag pretty much maxed it out)
Stroller is not easily maneuvered at walking speeds (this is hubby's biggest complaint).
I don't recommend buying this as an every day stroller. It's big and bulky.

We just received our stroller a few weeks ago and we've used it a few times already. It's a great stroller so far. Easy to assemble. Easy to follow instructions. Love the red color. Didn't know it came with a rain/wind clear plastic cover built inside the canopy! So great because you do not have to buy a separate one. We use it anytime it's a bit chilly out. We live in KS and who knows what the weather will be from day to day. Our little 9 mo old stays nice and snug and enjoys the ride. I use it for walking and my husband uses it for jogging. The adjustable handle is great since there's a 9 inch difference between our heights. Smooth ride. The wheel locks or swivels. I like the hard plastic foot rest area for when he's bigger- it will be so much easier to clean than the Bob's cloth one. The seat adjusts to sit our child pretty well upright or reclined. Great buy!
