Before buying an InSTEP jogging stoller, you’ll want to make sure you’re familiar with the company and their products to make sure you get exactly the right kind for your needs. InSTEP is a division of Dorel, a company which manufacturers many different products under well recognized name brands such as Schwinn and Cosco. Because they are a sister brand to Schwinn jogging strollers, you’ll find that many of their products are comparable in quality and design and that Schwinn and InStep are often synonymous names for the same item.

InStep jogging strollers come in two basic types – those with fixed wheels and those with swivel wheels. Fixed wheels have a larger stationary wheel in the front that is ideal for those who are serious runners and wish to use their jogger stroller exclusively for training. For parents who want a stroller that is versatile not only for exercising but also for everyday use for activities such as shopping, one with a swivel wheel may be a better design, since it can be much easier to steer and control in tighter spaces.

The InSTEP fixed wheel lines include the InSTEP Run Around Jogging Stroller and the InSTEP Ultra Runner series. They are available in both the single jogger types as well as the double joggers. It is very easy to sort through the different models, as they are classified by year (ie: the 2008/2009 models).

The InSTEP swivel wheel models include the InSTEP Suburban Safari as well as the Safari models in addition to the Free Wheeler, all available in both as single joggers and twin double joggers. They also have the Hope Model, which is a single jogging stroller.

There are many features that come standard on almost all of the InSTEP products. They all come with a 5 point safety harness to ensure little ones are secure. Each is made of a lightweight aluminum construction which makes it easy for transporting the product. Storage pockets below and tray give you a place to put your own personal items as well as space for a diaper bag or other things the kids may need. They also have a canopy which can help protect your little ones from getting too much sun. (Though of course you will want to make sure that they are wearing sunscreen anyway just to be on the safe side!) Additional safety features such as tether and handbrake and wheel size specifications will depend on the individual make and model.

As far as pricing goes, they are one of the most economical and affordable solutions available, with single Safari models retailing at just slightly over $100. If you are looking for a stroller that offers better safety features such as a parent tether strap, a handbrake, or looking to do serious training with one however you will want to upgrade to one of the higher priced strollers.
