This stroller handles well on sidewalks in the city, though I wouldn’t recommend it as a straight “jogging stroller” because it does not have a safety tether. (The description says it has both a tether and a hand brake. It has neither.) I live in the city where the sidewalks are often broken and uneven. So far this stroller has handled the terrain pretty well. The swivel-wheel makes it very easy to steer. It’s not too heavy, but it is a little top heavy. I have noticed it has a tendency to tip easily if I am moving across a grassy hill or something like that.
The seat seems comfortable, and the harness is one of the best I have seen, a five-point number with an easy one-click release. The sunshade, however, doesn’t really provide too much coverage for the child, and I wish it had a see-through window on top to provide a view of the rider. The space between the seat and the child’s snack tray is kind of tight as well. My toddler fits fine at 18 months, but I am not sure that will be the case in another year.
The handlebar is of average height, and it’s covered with some kind of porous foam material that I am not particularly fond of. It’s probably supposed to absorb moisture or something, but it’s not the most comfortable thing in your hands.
Parent’s tray is okay, fine for keys and a phone, and it holds an small bottle of water tightly. The basket underneath is not particularly roomy, just average.
Overall, a fine stroller for the money, just could use a few minor adjustments.

I wanted a jogging/all terrain stroller for my (at the time) 18 month old son, and i did lots of research on the less expensive yet functional strollers. my decision came down to the baby trend expedition (retails for around $130) and this one. the baby trend has large back wheels and it reclines fully, and this stroller has same size wheels and it DOES NOT recline flat. i decided on buying this one because my son does not sleep in stroller anyways, he’s too busy exploring the world. the safari was easy to put together, it has lots of great features but nothing over the top. comfortable padding, nice neutral colors, the trigger mechanism workks great when i fold the stroller, the child tray fits all his sippy cups, my parent organizer is roomy enough for keys, cell phone, ipod and a couple other things, plus the bottle holders are not to shallow so far. the swivel wheel locks into place by another trigger-like mechanism so you can jog on a straight surface without having to put extra effort in controlling the wheel. the basket under seat is large enough for a box of diapers (72 huggies, anyone?), your diaper bag and maybe another grocery bag, so its plenty.
PROS: easy to assemble, effortless maneuver, large basket,simple to fold, stays folded,compfortable for child, sturdy steel construction but yet it IS lightweight. (im a petite mom and i carry this to up and down flights of stairs daily!), wheel can be locked, nice parent tray, not too bulky. baby and i have taken several bus trips with this stroller!
CONS: no tether ( i dont need one anyways), canopy IS a bit small, i bought the ray shade canopy as well to protect child from the sun, the seat does not recline fully, only about 3/4 of the way (which is plenty for my toddler to rest, he looks very comfortable in it),I HATE the reclining thing they have, its 2 strings, and you pull them towards yourself, and then slide a locking thing up to where you want the back of the seat to be. does give lots of angles to recline, but it’s a royal pain. i prefer the click into place backrest recliners regular strollers have,but jogging strollers want to be more sporty, so they feature the annoying drawstring instead. the stroller does not stand on its own when folded (but it stays closed) also the front wheel wobbled after about 1 week of running, but its easy to fix and now it is smooth as butter again. also, the padding/seat is not removeable for wash unless you are willing to deal with screws and nuts and bolts (i was!)
overall, great stroller, worth buying. rides smoothly and so far no problems anywhere. our son loves it, so we love it too!

I orginally purchased the Baby Trend Expedition jogging stroller and was terribly disappointed with it. The front swivel wheel wobbled uncontrollably when it was not in the locked position, making it impossible to push the stroller. Thankfully I had purchased a Buyer Protection plan for it and was able to get a full refund. So my next stroller was the InStep Suburban Swivel jogging stroller. Upon assembly the swivel wheel was so tight that it would not swivel! But a little WD-40 solved the problem and now it works fine. The handle is a little high for me (I’m 5′3″). The tray in front of the seat pulls completely out, but I would prefer it to swing open instead. Other than that I like the stroller. I think it’s a good value, especially since I can’t afford a more expensive stroller. They sell an infant car seat adapter but my Graco infant seat fits without an adapter. It just snaps onto the stroller tray.

bought this as a jogging stroller for my four year old. Very solid construction, but the back on the seat is better for reclining the child, rather than sitting up. The support is not really strong for older children. But it rides well and steers easily. Worth the price!

this stroller is wonderful! my husband doesnt complain about kicking the back and its large wheels dont get stuck or slow you down. it folds up easily too. the only problem i see it that the sunshade doesnt really cover the baby all that well… our solution was to lay a baby blanket over the top and that works just fine.
