 not good for jogging Sep 15, 2009
By RunningMama
I was very excited that the accessories you have to purchase with most other strollers, came included with this one (large canopy, rain shield, cup holder). However, this stroller did not perform as well for jogging as I would have liked.
I initially had problems with both rear tires, neither seemed to hold air. The company sent replacements immediately and their customer service was excellent. However, the new tires didn't seem to hold air much better (even after repeated attempts to put air in with two different pumps). Thus the semi-flat tires made it difficult to run.
Also, (not sure if this was due to flat tires) I had difficulties pushing down on the handle to make any sort of turn. I couldn't just pull down with my hands, I actually had to lean over the stroller and put all my body weight to push it down to turn it.
The stroller is rated to hold 75 lbs, I was pushing around my 30 lb daughter, and could not imagine pushing around 75 lbs.
The stroller would probably be great for walking, but I wouldn't recommend it for a serious jogger.

 I love my zoom.. great for all terrains! Jul 29, 2010
By Anne V.
I needed a jogger that would work on concrete, grass and mulch at the parks and this is perfect! That huge front wheel copes in handy.
Things I love:
- the parent pockets and compartments
- rain cover
- roomy basket at the bottom. I often jog or walk to the grocery store and place my groceries in the bottom basket for the walk or jog back home. Keep in mind it only holds about 5-7 pounds.
- foot rest (also catches cheerio crumbs and other little things.. I use a Sippy Secure Strap so not a big deal)
- the child pockets in the stroller "cockpit"
- how sexy it looks!!! i get so many compliments. I love it :o)
- very sturdy.. I've been using it for two years and could see this easily being passed on to number 2 and 3. It looks as good as new (tip.. keep it covered with the rain cover when not in use)
- the "moon roof" in the canopy... I love being able to see my little one from the top.
- the visor.. I've only had one incident where the sun hit my baby's face and that was during a very late evening walk (8:00pm Daylight Time) near sun-down. I also like that it folds flat for shade walks or runs.
- hand breaks to slow the stroller down when running or walking down-hill.
- The security lead strap to make sure the stroller won't run off without you.
Things I hate:
- the pump.. I bought a new one that is a little easier to use. I've only had to pump the wheel twice but i like to keep it handy in case.
- this stroller is very heavy but the great thing is you will seldom need to lift it over anything. Those giant 16" wheels roll right over everything.. even the sidewalk bumps

UPDATE: April 2011
I STILL LOVE IT!!
Pros:
Had another baby since writing my last review and I was able to use this stroller to take my baby for walks starting at 2 weeks! It has such a deep recline that there was no concern for slouching. I now run with it with no problem. I generally run on bike paths with the occasional grass or mulch short cuts. It offers a comfortable ride with both. I use it with my 2.5 year old and 5 month old just fine.
The storage is great. The pockets are great for my toddler's radio, doll, sippy cups, etc. and when I'm running with the infant, I use it to keep an evtra pacifier bibs, a spare diaper and wipes. The basket below stores blankets (or light jacket), the rain cover and snacks (depending on how far we go).
Cons:
The paths in my neighborhood has a lot of turns. If you are not looking to get an arm workout, you may want to invest in a swivel wheel for winding paths. I don't mind one bit as the pros do outweigh the con.

Awesome Jogger Jun 09, 2010
By Running Dad
I looked at a lot of joggers before selecting this one. The BOB is too expensive and you need to buy every single accessory separately - adding to the cost. The less expensive (below $200) joggers are terrible. This one is well built and includes all of the accessories you need (pump, rain cover, huge canopy, parent organizer). The materials are excellent and the Joovy folds better than any jogger I've seen.
Also, I almost forgot the basket. It is huge and really easy to access.

I love this stroller! Dec 21, 2010
By Jesse Gonzalez
"j080277"
I have used this stroller from the time my son was 6 weeks old until now-at 9 months. This stroller is made for RUNNING, which is why the front wheel is fixed. I trained for a half marathon-have completed 2 since he was born-and brought it with me for 99% of my runs, including long runs. It is especially nice on long runs, because of the 2 water bottle holders and basket down below. This stroller has a weight capacity of up to 75 lbs, I think, which means it will be of use to us for a long time. The sun shade is amazing-better than any other jogging stroller I've seen. Overall, I love this product and it is well worth the price.

Still a great running stroller Sep 26, 2010
By nyfolks
We just got this stroller and took it for our first run yesterday. So far, it's ok. We have a large four month old son and he really liked the ride.
Pros -
It's not as expensive as some others
Seat is fairly padded
Cup holder is pretty good
Very good shade
Basket underneath is great and easy to access
Window at the top of the shade makes it easy to check in on your daughter/son
Pushes pretty well, not terrible light, but it's ok
Cons -
Huge (maybe all running strollers are)
Straps are thin
Pulls a little to the left (but hopefully we can fix that)
Bottom line, my husband likes it, but I have yet to be sold.
