I’m sure all you parents wish the search for the perfect stroller was a bit easier, but I’m here with an InSTEP stroller reviews of the InSTEP Suburban Safari Single Jogging Stroller to try to help alleviate your headaches along the journey for your next set of wheels!

From the get-go, the Suburban Safari appears to be a solid choice. With its easy-assembly, a parent can only hope that this stroller is going to be safe and functional!

Well, you’re in luck, because one of the greatest points of this jogging stroller is its sturdy-yet-lightweight frame! It appears as though this stroller will withstand both travel and bumps along the way.

Another feature that is presented with the Suburban Safari is its front swivel wheel. Not always present in InSTEP jogging stroller, this swivel wheel allows the jogger to easily maneuver around corners. But be aware, some users found that the front wheel requires some adjustments after assembly.

Although these features appear to make the InSTEP Suburban tough competition to its adversaries, there are a few flaws that have been found within its design. One user claimed that the Suburban Safari was top heavy, and had issues with tipping. Whether this is a universal problem is undetermined. The second issue that was found was with the stroller’s sun shade. Most users found that it did not provide sufficient coverage. Finally, a few users were unhappy with the overall seat-reclining system and were disappointed to find that the stroller’s seats did not fully recline. This is partially due to the users’ personal preferences.

With these pros and cons presented, I hope that I’ve helped you complete one more step on your search for your next stroller. Happy jogging!

    Mine is top heavy too…feels kinda tippy sometimes. And there could be more padding on the sides incase the little one drifts off to sleep and you don’t get a chance to reclince it.
