Key Factors Of InStep Safari Double Swivel Stroller

Convenience

Each seat has its own sun canopy that swivels independently and moves smooth enough to adjust while you’re moving. The handle is adjustable for people of different heights with foam padding for added comfort. No more blisters from your hands rubbing on the handle while you’re running. It has a molded flip open child tray with two cup holders and parent tray with dual cup holders as well. Lots of storage space underneath the seats for things like diaper bags or other equipment. Seat covers, made from polyester, are removable for easy cleaning.

Safety

Each seat has a five point safety harness so your child will be safe if there is an accident. Your infants would be firmly positioned so they do not jerk about while you move. The Seats recline slightly avoiding child’s head banging against the back of the seat while you’re moving. The pneumatic tires which are filled with air make for a more comfortable ride and added safety when you are on uneven terrain. Locking rear wheels that don’t require you to bend to engage. The stroller also comes with sturdy construction so that it easily resists every situation that it is put through.

One handed system makes it easy to collapse with a dual trigger folding system so you can use your other hand for other tasks. Also, it has built-in carrying handles that make moving it easy. Final collapsible size will conveniently fit into most vehicles or a closet in your home. The instant lock switch on the front tire makes it easy to convert from a jogging stroller to regular use.

Pros	Cons
At only 32” wide it fits though most doors. Limited one year warranty covering parts and labor. Each seat can hold a child up to 50 pounds for years of use. Two independent 5 position canopies keep out sun and weather.	Because it is a double stroller it can tilt to the side if only one child is seated. Backrests are made of particle board which can break. Triangle footrest design may not provide enough space for both children’s feet. Tires need to be pumped up occasionally resulting in the need for a pump.

Hi all. I do not believe in the perfect stroller. I wish it existed but I do not believe it does. So instead I look for *good* strollers. This jogger is a *good* stroller. Not perfect, but good. And considering the price, I think it is a *great* value.

I have owned this stroller for 4 months now and have used it 10-15 miles per week. I have a 3-year-old and a 10-month-old and they both fit comfortably in it. The seats are always slightly reclined – my toddler can’t sit fully upright in it – but I believe that is for safety. When you are running as fast as I am (ha!) then it is better for the children to be slightly reclined so that their heads don’t bob around.
