this is amazing! i bought a different one so i could have a complete travel system, but i wish i would have bought this to begin with. it is awesome on rocks and gravel, and great on dirt! i have even put my chicco Keyfit 30 carseat and hooked it in...works well with this. it was easy to set up and my husband even loves it!

This was a disappointment from the start! I have a 9 month old and a 2 year old. When I first pushed them in the stroller, the front wheel wobbled so bad that I could not even walk slow with it! I had to call Pacific Cycle and ask for any suggestions on how to fix this. They sent a replacement fork assembly at no charge, so that was good. I replaced it, and let a little air out of the tire and it stopped the wobbling. However, there's several other things I was not happy with. The first time I tried to fold it up, one of the back supports behind the seat snapped, and now the seat has no back support at all. Such a shame it had to be so thin to break like that in the first place! It's very bulky and not easy to fold up, and it WILL NOT fit into the trunk of a Honda Accord. My kids are average sized, but the seats are so narrow that it's a tight fit. My 2 year old can't even put his arms down on his sides because he won't fit. Also, there's only room for ONE leg, the other one hangs down uncomfortably over the side because of the triangle shaped foot rest!
It IS easy to push, but because of it's cheap construction and inability to accomodate a 23 month old child, I would not recommend buying this!! Schwinn could do better than this! What a rip off!

I bought this stroller after doing a ton of research on jogging strollers. I could not afford to spend $400 on a Bob or other brands so I took a chance on the Schwinn. Its perfect! So easy to put together, sturdy, durable, turns easily and best of all, its compatible with my Graco carseat so I could use it right away! Most jogging strollers force you to buy a $60 carseat adapter but with this one, you can fit the carseat right into the child cup holders and use the straps provided to strap it down. There are directions in the box to tell you how to do this. The 'adult' cupholders are great and there is a covered compartment for an ipod or even cell phone. The stroller handle adjusts (for tall husbands) and you can also change the swivel wheel to a "fixed" wheel for running. I have not tried collapsing it to get it into the car but its smaller than other jogging strollers I have seen so I don't think this will be a problem. I would give it 5 stars if I knew it fit in my small car but I don't know yet.
I feel like I scored finding an affordable alternative to the overpriced world of jogging strollers!
