Instep Safari

I was happy to get this stroller, it looked great and fit my need for a durable affordable swivel wheel stroller to do walks with. Just walks not even everyday use. After the 3rd or 4th time of only a 5K… walk the front wheel started to wobble something aweful when in swivel mode. I tightened the bolt, worked for half a walk then wobbly again. Now I can't even undo the swivel because it wobbles so much. I emailed the company and after about two weeks got an email back. Guess what they said? Tighten the bolt and that should do it. Well duh I did and it didn't that's why I emailed and told you I did tighten it but it didn't stay fixed. Now I'm stuck with a stroller I don't like anymore and out the money. Very dissapointed.

So, I'm a very tall mom-to-be. If there are any other tall moms or dads out there... I hope this review will be helpful! After weeks of research I finally just ordered a jogger stroller, knowing I could… send it back if it didn't work for me. I wanted a jogger stroller with good tires because most of my walking will be on gravel/unpaved roads, as well as some shopping. I finally got this one: InSTEP Suburban Safari Jogging Stroller It came with a bug screen/net and the carseat adapter. (We'll see how this works... haven't tried yet) I must say... I'm in love! A great jogger for the price! (It's cheaper elsewhere, but doesn't come with the car steat adapter like this one did!) I was worried when I saw that the handle is not adjustable, but NO NEED to worry! It is plenty tall enough! It measures 43" tall at the top of the handle. It is impossible for me to kick the back when walking. I don't think it would be TOO TALL for an average height person, though. I'm 6'0" tall and have a 36" inseam, so my walking stride is very long.
