There are some great jogging strollers on the market today, and sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between best sellers. Here are some of the similarities, differences, and reviews between some of the top jogging strollers.
In the $100-200 price range, we will compare the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller toward Jogger with large Safari wheels on the instep.
Both strollers have:
• Speakers to be connected to an MP3 player
• An adjustable handle for mom and dad
• A cup holder for children and parents
• Large basketball storage
• Reclining baby seat
• Suspension system to absorb shocks
• An easy folding system
Some differences:
• The Jeep has three 16-inch wheels and the InStep Grand Safari has two 16-inch rear wheels and one 12-inch front wheel.
• The weight of the Jeep is approximately 27 pounds, while the InStep weighs about 33 pounds.
• The maximum weight capacity of the Jeep is 45 pounds and the maximum weight of the InStep is 50 pounds.
• The InStep is car seat compatible, while the Jeep does not support a car seat
• Jeep comes with a speed and distance odometer
The Jeep Overland has a fixed front wheel and the InStep Grand Safari has a swivel wheel. This can be a deal breaker for some. If you primarily want a sturdy jogging stroller, you may be perfectly satisfied with the fixed wheel feature. This ensures that while jogging, you won’t suddenly swerve to the side if you hit a pothole or rock, and is the safest option for jogging. However, fixed wheels can be more difficult to turn around tight corners without lifting the front wheel off the stroller. The InStep has the option of either a fixed wheel or a swivel wheel, so if you decide to use your stroller in a mall or where tighter turns are needed, a swivel wheel will work better than a fixed one.
