InStep Ultra Runner Jogging Stroller (Green/Lt Gray/Black) Review
I’m a casual runner and this is my first running stroller. I was looking for something of good enough quality so that my running experience would not be horrible (so that I would continue to use the running stroller), but not break the bank (in case it turns out I don’t really get much use from it for other reasons).
So far it’s performed to my needs very well. Turns out I don’t have much time to use it everyday, so good thing I didn’t spend a fortune. It is light enough and works well enough that I enjoy taking the baby out for runs on the weekends.
Pro’s:
- Tracks well (runs in a straight line)
- It’s alumnium, is light and does not rust.
- Fits in the trunk of a Camry with the front wheel off. Not much room for much else. I doubt I would be able to take it on a vacation or take it to do grocery shopping.
- Canopy adjusts well. The top is velcro so you can move it around.
- Well balanced so you can easily lift the front wheel to make a tight turn.
- Lots of room in the bin and a pretty good cup holder (for use when not running)
- Has a hand brake, but I find I don’t use it much.
Con’s:
- The seat is not padded, but it doesn’t seem like my daughter cares.
- Seat is not removable for washing. My child had a leaky diaper and I was not able to remove the fabric for cleaning, but using a wet paper towel did the trick.
- The harness is kind of cheap feeling/looking, but it serves it’s purpose.
- It’s quite big even when folded up, but I think this is a problem for all running strollers.
I use this for running, speed walking and I take it to places where there’s no pavement (e.g. country side, parks and off-road trails). I’m very satisfied with it’s performance. My other stroller is a Maclaren and I would not be able to do any of this with it.
