Pacific Cycle Instep Safari Swivel Jogger

Things I LOVE about this stroller:--Sun shade has a plastic window that also has a cover so I can see baby easily.--Sun shade will rotate all the way forward to the tray which blocks baby's view, but will also block that blinding setting sun if need be.--If I fold up the sun shade I can put the carseat rear-facing on this stroller. Perfect for when baby is still tiny or is sleeping.--It is the SMOOTHEST riding stroller I have ever pushed! Amazing. Like butter. I always have to make sure I lock the wheels if I let go of the handle cause if I'm not on a level surface it'll just keep going!--Along with that, it is effortless to push and even turn using one hand. I was amazed.--Wrist strap makes me feel safer about previously mentioned point. I might not get the wheels locked if, say, I tripped while jogging with baby.--It's very easy to fold up and take the back wheels off and vice-versa.--Front tray swings out of the way making it easier for me to put baby in and take baby out.--Shoulder straps adjust higher for when baby is bigger.--Seat reclines.Things that aren't so great about this stroller:--It BARELY fits in the trunk even folded and with the rear wheels taken off. I drive a 96 Toyota Camry.--Not really compact enough to go into tiny stores in the mall during Christmas shopping (getting a baby sitter really is the way to go on that situation anyway though)--Rubber wheels squeak like crazy on my hard wood floor, then my shoes also squeak where those wheels have been. I have a feeling it's just because they're still relatively new wheels though, so this may resolve.--Storage in the bottom is not easy to get things in and out of.--Thought it would be great for rougher terrain, but it's still a really rough ride for baby. But really what did I expect on ground covered in walnuts?--Seat doesn't quite sit up as straight as baby really wants it to. She is 7 months old and kind of eye-level with the tray which she's not super excited about.Overall I'm glad I bought this stroller. It will be one baby can grow into (my husband can sit in it--not that I will let him-- but it's that wide).

We purchased this stroller a few weeks ago after reviewing tons of different joggers at different price points and with various features. We liked the price on this stroller for sure and we were not looking for a bunch of bells and whistles, so we thought this was the stroller for us! We chose to overlook the few reviews that mentioned how quickly the tires go flat. Big mistake. I have used this stroller about five times for general use and had no issues, but we have only used it for jogging twice. On the second jog, the back tire went flat halfway through the run! Luckily my husband was close to a gas station and they let him get air for free (not supposed to use an air compressor, but what other option did we have?), but then the tire blew out again on the way back!!! I called customer service to request new tubing and the agent gave me a bit of attitude and said I was lucky it was still within the first month because the warranty only covers replacement parts for the first thirty days!!!! So here are our thoughts:PROS:PriceLarge protective and moveable canopySmooth ride with swivel wheelCONS:Tires deflat and FASTLarge in size (from front to back)- had a hard time steering in a department storeTall- I am 5'6 and the handle is quite a bit higher than I'm used to and it's not adjustableComfort- the child's seat does not appear to be very comfortable, ended up buying a seat pad for our little girlBasket- there is an odd bar underneath that blocks you from using the basket to store even the smallest of itemsOverall, if I could do it over, I probably would have spent a little more to get a better quality stroller. Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for!UPDATE 9/3/11Well, we received the replacement tubing. We replaced the back tires. Then when we went to use the stroller a few days later, the back tire was flat AGAIN!!! And this time the entire tire blew up. We were very careful not to overinflate, so overall the tubing is just extremely cheap!!! We are going to try and return this stroller. Please, look for a better quality jogging stroller!UPDATE 1/20/12Well, the company was no help in returning this horrible stroller. So we are stuck with it. We ended up finding an older model at a consignment sale for $30 that had the metal rims, so we replaced the plastic back rims with the metal ones and haven't had any problems. The front tire was a diffrent size, so we still have the plastic rim on the front and the tire goes flat after each walk. We are looking at replacing the front rim w/a metal one. So as of today, this $130 stroller has cost us: $250!!!!! With all of the tubes we replaced, the older model we bought and the new front rim...we should have just bought a BOB! Again- if you are looking for a reliable jogging stroller, PLEASE do not buy this stroller!
