9 Amazon Reviews

The InStep Safari has been discontinued. Reviewers say the InStep Safari is a versatile, three-wheeled all-terrain stroller that is reasonably priced. Parents particularly like the fact that the front wheel can be fixed for off-road walking (and occasional jogging) or left to swivel for better maneuverability indoors and on sidewalks; the small front wheel is an asset in narrow spaces. Owners say the adjustable handlebar is comfortable for drivers, while the roomy seat is comfortable for the rider. Still, among all-terrain strollers in this price range, the Jeep Liberty Limited (*Est. $160) gets the most consistently positive feedback. If you're willing to spend more, though, the top-rated BOB Revolution (*Est. $390) is a good choice.

We found the best review of the InStep Safari all-terrain stroller on Baby-Gaga.com, where editors base reviews on both hands-on testing and parent interviews. User-review sites are also a good source of information on baby gear, and Amazon.com and Epinions.com combined have enough entries on the InStep Safari to give parents a good indication of its overall performance.
