5 Stars Fantastic!
the Kelty 3.0 is just fantastic! I purchased it for an upcoming vacation in the Adirondacks where my husband and I want to take our baby hiking with us. He is 8months old and sometimes we take him for walks in it, instead of using the stroller. It’s a new view for him, he’s high up like we are, and in this, he isn’t in the ’sitting’ position, so it’s a nice change for him in that way too. It’s totally cmfortable for him and for us too. My husband is 6.2′ and I’m 5′2, and it’s completely and easily adjustable.

5 Stars great for my 8 month old!
arrived 3 days Less then the estimated delivery date stated! My baby fits perfectly and loves riding with the sun/rain shade on! He is one to kick his socks off so an enclosed bottom collects anything he drops. great padding. feels weightless. a lot of adjustment straps will Ensure a good fit. i started with everything large/loose and figured out my fit perfectly one notch at a time. Since there are going to be 2 of us using the backpack, I took a whiteout marker and marked my preferred Holes to make the switching easier! wonderfully padded for baby and even has a drool guard!

4 Stars Great Unit, but takes some getting used to.
I love this pack, but the first two/three times I used this to carry my 20lbs son, it felt a bit wobbly. The pictures in the ownern’s manual are a bit 1-dimensional so it took some looking at the picture, then back at the pack, and so forth. All in all, it is a great pack and worth every penny we spent. I wouldn’t recommend carrying more than just your child, unless you are used to carrying heavy packs around.

3 Stars buyeconomical has horrible return policy
Please be sure to review the return policy for buy.economical if you are purchasing this product from them. I will never use Amazon again

4 Stars Great Product, Bad Service
So I love this backpack and would tell other parents to purchase it. However, I did have trouble with Amazon over my purchase. They sent me the pack “new” but it was missing the hood cover; I bought it on sale and they wanted me to return the item and purchase a new one at the additional cost or they wanted me to keep it and they would give me back 24.00 of my purchase. To make a long story short I had to contact Kelty and they finally helped me out with it by sending me a new cover free of charge. I recommend if you buy this item to purchase it from a company other than Amazon since they were not helpful to me.

Schwinn Free Wheeler 2 Double Swivel Wheel Jogging Stroller

5 Stars Great stoller!
Great stoller for walks on paved trails and roads around town. It easily fits our 7 month old and two year old. Great tool for getting them to sleep! It’s width makes it difficult for use in tight quarters (i.e., most stores) but we use it a lot for other outings. I’ve used it a little on undeveloped trails and it worked OK, but I wouldn’t venture out more than a mile or two. Best use on paved trails or gravel. Works good for either walking or running. Enough storage for water, snacks, jackets, etc. I would certainly recommend for anyone looking for a two-seat stroller.

Schwinn Free Wheeler 2 Double Swivel Wheel Jogging Stroller

My wife loves this stroller. She can put our 3 year old and 10 month old in it and go on walks. It is very smooth and easy to push.

However, I am not as thrilled with this stroller. It is bulky, doesn’t break down that well, and doesn’t fit into places very well. I imagine that these problems occur for strollers like this one. In addition, one of the spokes on the rear wheel broke off and I need to get that repaired.

4 Stars So far, so good
I spent hours researching strollers before purchasing this one. And, although I think the more expensive versions might offer a stronger quality, this one suffices for the price. I actually like this stroller a lot! I just brought it to the mall for the first time and had no difficulties with it fitting in stores. It is super smooth when running and also folds up easily enough. The couple of things that I don’t care for are the construction of the basket below - it seems just a little flimsy; however, it does hold my diaper bag and small drink cooler, in which I didn’t think it would. Also, although I love the size of the sun canopy (this one of the main reasons I bought this stroller), this too seems a little flimsy. But, again, for the price comparison to others, I really am happy with my purchase and would recommend this to others.

Good luck!

5 Stars Great stroller w/ a great price
After doing much research on jogging strollers, I decided on the Schwinn because of price and features. I received the stroller in two days once it was shipped. I thought I would have to assemble the whole stroller but I only had to attach the wheels and foot stool. We took the stroller out for the first walk and immediately loved it. The canopy is great and stuffed inside the zipper is a weathershield. Also, my stroller came with a parent organizer that hooks to the handlebar. The seats are great. I did not purchase this stroller for hardcore jogging. I wanted it more for the ease of the swivel front wheel and fast-paced walking and just around town with the kids. I laid my 5 week old in the recline position and my 2 year old sat up and was lounging. My husband and I were teasing each other over who got to push. We had a Joovy Caboose Ultralight Tandem before and the ease of a swivel/locked front wheel makes such a huge difference. I can push with only one hand and hold my 5 year olds hand.

Like I said before, I read a ton of reviews on many jogging strollers and my decision was between the Instep Safari swivel & the Schwinn Free Wheeler 2. I purchased the Schwinn because I like the colors and my family has Schwinn bicycles which are great quality and figured this would be too. We feel we made a great choice. The storage on the stroller is great as I have a large Lands End tote as my diaper bag and it fits on the bottom. We are very happy with the stroller and feel that the $250 w/ free shipping was worth the money. Amazon.com had the best value.

4 Stars Love my Schwinn
Why?

1) It is compact enough to fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord

2) It fits through doors and aisles at the mall

3) It is easy to maneuver with the front wheel swivel

4) There is a big storage space underneath

5) The seats are more upright than an earlier version

6) It is easy to assemble

The price is great!!
