Runners Beware
September 21, 2020
We received this stroller as a gift at my baby shower last year. My LO was born last year July and PPD took a major toll on me and getting back to my fitness routine has been challenging.
About 2 months ago I broke this thing out and went on my 1st run and boy, was I uber disappointed. 1st, the front wheel is a major pain. And it seems that Graco would have given this area a little extra TLC. As I read the reviews for this jogger and ones similar to it, a lot of the complaints are about the front wheel. It gets stuck in a turning position and needs to be readjusted often. As I loved the opportunities to take a breather (bc baby weight and I haven't run in over
a year), I don't want to have to do that on EVERY run). You can lock the front wheel, which is cool, but while running if you need to turn you have to lift the stroller on it's back wheels to do so.
2. Its super bulky and very hard to maneuver
through stores (mainly clothing stores and small aisles).
3. Stroller has the tendency to pull hard to the right.
4. The spring in the kickstand has given out already. (After only 2 months use)
5. It takes up almost my entire trunk.
Pros
1.Plenty of storage space (two cup holders and a snack tray for the LO and 2 cup holders and a storage tray for the adult). The undercarriage is pretty large as well
2. Sun blocker has great coverage
3. My LO can sleep comfortably as the back lets down just the right amount.
I wish I hadn't waited so long to use it, id definitely be returning it and investing in a different brand. This has put a major damper in getting back in shape. With the pandemic, closed gyms and very little social interaction, running was the one thing I had to fight PPD and could do with my LO without distractions.
