InStep Ultra Runner 2 Reviews

Works as advertised
by N. Hills , 2010-02-17

This product has worked over a period of several months as advertised. It is a double wide runner. The fixed wheel is especially useful if you are serious about jogging with a stroller, I would say it is a must. The hand brake works effectively enough that you can control downhill rides very easily. Keep in mind it is not designed to bring you to an immediate stop but to control the pace effectively. I have used it with two children in it and the only problem I have is when I go uphill with two kids. Great product for a very fair price here on Amazon. Not to fancy, but enough to do some good 5-10 km routes for jogging. Very practical.

Double Jogger Instep Ultra Runner 2
by M. Cats from Texas, 2009-09-20

I spent a great deal of time looking a various joggers and finally settled on this one. The reviews I read prior to purchase indicated the fabric covering the seat maybe a problem, but I have not found this to be a big issue. It's hot here in Texas and I think the fabric helps to keep the babies cool so I was happy with that. I really like the fat tires; they provide added cushioning along with the shocks making for a very smooth ride. It's easy to steer, moves with little effort. I am really happy with the jogger and pleased with the price. I had a BOB prior to this purchase and the Instep jogger actually works better for me.

Jogging Stroller
by J. Lawton , 2009-09-12

This stroller has been perfect for us. It is very easy to push and maneuver even while pushing a 2 and 4 year old. I use it strictly for walking within my neighborhood on sidewalks. The few times I have had to go 'off-road', it was still manageable but I don't know if I would do it for long distances. The sun shade is very large and provides adequate coverage. There is ample storage underneath the stroller as well as a smallish soft holder you can attach to the handlebar that can hold keys or a cellphone (or a small water bottle). My complaints: the seats do not have a lot of back cushioning. If you have children who like to sleep in the stroller, you would need a blanket to cushion around the head and back. Secondly, you have to take the front wheel off to put the stroller in the trunk. (Although I believe this is pretty standard with double jogging strollers.) Lastly, the handlebar grip is already starting to wrinkle and tear slightly in a few places. However, complaints aside, I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone who is looking for an easy-to-push stroller for exercising.

super stroller!

I bought this stroller for my 3 1/2 yr old and my 1 yr old and they love it! It's a great running stroller because the front wheel is fixed, as oppposed to an unstable and shaky swivel wheel. I also love that it's easy to fold up and pop the wheels off. It even fits into my very small Nissan Versa hatchback- YES, this is true!! My husband also likes the stroller- he runs a lot faster than I do and he said it's a smooth ride and easy to control. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is because, as other reviews have stated, it needs better seat cushions. My older daughter complained immediately that it was uncomfortable, but I gave her a little blanket to rest her head, problem solved! Oh well, other than that it's a great stroller and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to go out running with their kids.

Great value for the money!

I was hesitant to buy this stroller for a few reasons. In Step strollers in general have mixed reviews, and I wasn't sure I would be getting something quality because the price is so low. I agonized over the decision, spent weeks researching, deciding, changing my mind....I finally decided on this one because of the price, and the weight of the stroller. I have 2 toddlers who weigh 60 pounds together, so I wanted a lightweight jogger. I was concerned that the fixed wheel might bother me, but it doesn't at all. Some reviews mentioned tires going flat, or the stroller pulling to one side, but I haven't had either of those problems. I love this stroller, my kids and I have put many miles on it this summer. The only way this stroller could be improved is if the sunshade locked. I live in a windy area, and the sunshade gets whipped back often. But that doesn't bother me enough to give this stroller any less than 5 stars!
