Author's Review
I purchased this stroller in Oct '02 when my son was 10 months old and I have never once regretted the purchase. He is now 2 and still enjoys going out in this stroller!
This jogger is amazing! I love it! I live in a subdivision that has miles of dirt / gravel roads and our Graco travel system just wasn't cutting it. I researched several different jogging strollers and decided that this was the one for me. When I got it, I realized it met all of my needs and more! The see through parent tray is great, the deep basket is wonderful for diaper bags and bottles, the child tray is deep enough for playing with cheerios and toys and the rotating sun shade is the best. When my son gets in a stroller, he's awake for about 5 minutes and then falls asleep so the adjustable seat is wonderful since I can put it almost flat if I wanted to. I'm 5'9" tall and I don't have to bend over to push this stroller. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver and fun to run with!
I have a Dodge Grand Caravan, extended version and even with the 3rd seat pushed as far back as it will go (towards the back of the van), I can still EASILY fit the folded up stroller into the back with room to spare. That being said, however, you do actually have to press 3 buttons at once to get the stroller folded up and that can be a bit tricky, especially since the buttons are rather stiff.
Some cons to this stroller are: the parents tray cup holder is not big enough for a normal sized water bottle, its tricky to fold up, its very difficult to remove the child tray (although its not really necessary to do so), and there is no padding on the hinges on the inside of the stroller so when my son falls asleep with the seat in the upright position and leans to the side, I have to cushion his head or recline the seat.
All together, I love this stroller and will be using it with all my future children.
