5 Stars jogger mom with 1 child
Great product, feels very solid and does well in high wind situations, our three month old loves it as do my husband and I!!!

5 Stars The BOB is awesome!
We have gone through many joggers and my wife is a diehard runner who needs something to withstand a fast paced, long distance run. The Ironman is smooth, light weight and easy to maneuver. My wife absolutely loves this thing, and I highly suggest this jogger.

5 Stars One well engineered machine
Have you ever ridden in a vehicle or on a bike that you just felt was better designed? Or used a tool or a piece of software that just worked seamlessly? That’s the feeling you get from this stroller.

I can’t believe how smoothly it rolls. It’s also very comfortable for my son. He quite prefers it to his ‘regular’ stroller. His visibility is also better, which he enjoys.

If you’re going to run with your child, I strongly recommend this stroller.

5 Stars Awsome
If you are a runner this stroller is for you. Just the fact that you can fine tune the front wheel alignment makes this a huge step above many others. If your questioning buying this go to a local running store and take it for a spin and then purposely misalign the front wheel and take it for another spin and that is what you would have to deal with the cheaper model running strollers.

5 Stars excellent and durable running stroller
BOB Ironman Sport Utility Stroller in Racing Yellow

I have the bob ironman in blue. We bought this Stroller over 2 years ago when we had our first baby. I am an avid runner and needed something that was smooth and durable. This is the stroller. I will tell you how well it has withstood the wear and tear we have put on it:

We now live in Europe and chose to bring only one stroller, although it is definitely not a touring stroller, it doesn’t turn well since the front wheel is fixed, it has been great on all the old cobblestone roads and all the bumpy streets we have been on. 2 years here and it is still in great condition. I can still run with it and it is still smooth. Other parents we know who have moved to Europe have had to replace their strollers over and over again, even strollers they have purchased in Europe. We haven’t and won’t have to.

The frame is so stable. If you are into long distance running this is an excellent option for a stroller; exceptionally smooth and sturdy.

Not a small stroller, but then when you are looking for a good running stroller, small really can’t be an option.

5 Stars Great stroller for the money!
I’ve been very happy with this jog stroller! It feels super stable on the road and folds easily to put in the back of my car. If you have a smaller car it would be a bit more cumbersome to put into the trunk. The basket underneath is perfect to hold a purse or small bag. After I bought this the directions stated that it was not recommended for use with infants, but along with the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler Complete Head and Body Support it works GREAT for smaller children. I also like that the back adjusts to recline or sit up for children to either sleep or look around, however, if you’ve got the back in the reclining position it takes two people at times to use the sinching tool and get the back up into the upright position.

4 Stars Love it.
I love this stroller. I ordered it in Sungold because that color was the cheapest. I am glad that I got the bright yellow color. It is very visible. Hopefully we won’t get hit by any bad drivers.

I ordered from BabyAge and shipping was super fast.

I had read the reviews and was aware of posted complaints. The straps/buckle are not too cumbersome. The bottom strap part that goes up through the baby’s legs is a little too wide. It is okay for my very large 12 month old (wears 24 month clothes). The strap is thick and not very pliable and over 2 inches wide. I have not found a bottom strap like this on any other baby product. Because it is so wide, baby has to keep his legs slightly spread. I can imagine that it might be more of a problem for smaller or younger babies.

The fixed wheel is great for jogging. It is slighty less manueverable than a swivel wheel, but more suited to our needs. My baby’s grandparents love walking him in this stroller. They do not mind the fixed wheel. It is much easier to push than the traditional shopping mall stroller. The baby seems to weigh half as much when pushed in this stroller as compared to in the traditional stroller.

This stroller is not the top of the line. There are a few quirks - the molded plastic cup holder tray thing seems ready to pop off, and the molded plastic fender we received is not perfectly symmetrical. These have not been a problem to date. I am pleased with the quality of this product given its price.

I also ordered (from Instep’s website) the rain cover that goes with this stroller. It was $20 plus shipping. Seems to work pretty well. I am more likely to use the stroller in cloudy weather because of the cover. We tuck it in the basket underneath in case of showers.

4 Stars Very good stroller for the price
We are very happy with this jogging stroller for the price. It is light yet quite solid and easy to push when running. The “break point” in the middle flexes a little so that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It really doesn’t affect performance but it would feel a little better if this joint was more solid. Great deal. Unless you are a serious runner, and I mean serious like you’re running sub 6 minute mile pace, this stroller should be fine for you.

5 Stars Excellent!!!
Needed a decent jogging stroller and didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for it. Set up was a breeze and my daughter loves it. She even falls asleep while i am jogging so the ride is smooth. Great price and the free shipping was a great incentive to buy as well. Total cost was half of what was being sold in the stores around here. Buy it with confidence.

3 Stars Now let’s run!
My husband found this stroller to be fairly easy to assemble. He also liked the way it handled on his morning run. I, myself find the fixed wheel a little annoying and the wheels themselves seem a bit warped. But I am not the runner. (And it was a gift for him) It is quite attractive, and affordable. Our 9 month old daughter seems to like it, too.

5 Stars Great for grandson
Thankfully so far, this helmet hasn’t been put to the “crash test” yet, but it fits comfortably on his head and makes his mom and myself feel much more secure about his safety while he’s on his skateboard.

4 Stars Razor Child V-17 Helmet
Customer support at http://www.kentbicycles.com was very helpful in sorting through which model of V-17 helmet is for children 5+ (small shell) and which is for children 8+ (medium shell). The children 5+ small one is the one reviewed here and was only available online at the time of this purchase. The model number is 97780. If you want the small one be sure it has this model number as opposed to 97778 which is the bigger one for 8+ years old.

My son is almost 5 and still this helmet was pretty loose on him. It comes with two foam inserts, one is slightly thicker than the other. However, they are not meant to be used both at the same time. We have to use them both (safety pinned in) to make it snug. I wish this helmet came with inserts that were desinged to be added to the existing foam to make it tighter instead of designed to use one insert or the other. I later saw another 5+ helmet (may have been a Tony Hawk one) at Toys R Us that had much thicker foam padding and fit him tighter.

Still he loves the helmet and it looks sharp on him. It is of high quality in my opinion.
