    What do you think of it?

    I'm thinking about getting a jogging-style stroller. We don't jog, but have lots of off-road trails in our area. Want something lightweight, will fit through doors and good on all terrain. And reasonably priced - this one seems like a great price. ($190)

    But I can't find any specs - how wide is it? how much does it weigh? how well does it fold up? how well do the seats recline?

    any other pros/cons? or any similar stroller in a similar price range that you like better?

    Good question! We've been looking at the same one and wondering as well. Would love to her any feed back or other recommendations since we can't afford our jogging stroller pipe dream...the BOB. :)

    I have the babytrend jogging strooler, but it does not have the swivel wheel, which sucks!! You have to lift it a bit to make it turn!!! I love it otherwise. It foles easily & unfolds even easier!! It fits in the back of our minivan. It is a slim fit through doors but it does fit. I would definetly purchase one again if it had the swivel wheel. Its easy to push too!!

    I have the Schwinn Safari double jogger...it has the swivel or stationary wheel in the front. I LOVE it, however, it doesn't fit through most standard doorways...I think that's pretty common with most double joggers (unfortunately). But, it's great for outdoorsy type stuff.

    I have it. The swivel wheel does suck so I keep it locked and straight - so there is no use for it to us. I walk two miles at a time so it really was necessary to get one if I didn't want to quickly wear out my MacClaren (which is wonderful, btw). I like the locking wheels and cup holders. It seems to have a smooth ride too. With a coupon, BRU gift certs and XMas money, we paid exactly $0 for it. Considering I'm not a jogger, but a walker, I feel it was a great purchase.

    I have the Instep double Safari. I got it from walmart.com. Weve only used it a few times..... but, we love it. It is right in the same price range, has a swivel wheel, and pushes so easily.

    Maybe check it out. I highly recommend it!

    I have the Instep Safari, and I agree with Becky's review!

    Hi - just thought I'd follow up and tell you that I went ahead and bought the Baby Trend stroller this weekend at Babies R Us. So far we really like it. It was easy to assemble, seems to fold up very easily, seems very maneuverable and very comfortable.
