A popular mid range double jogging stroller in the market is the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller. It has been generating good sales, because even if it is not as expensive as its counterparts on the higher end of the spectrum, it does not mean that it skimps on its features.

When one purchases the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller, they are able to gain and utilize the stroller’s following features:

Durable frame constructed from high grade steel
One-hand fold for easy transport
12” front locked wheels
16" rear wheels
Rustproof magnesium alloy wheels
Parent console for cell phone and keys
Airy, vented cabin and reclining seats

5-point harness
Hand brake
Parking brake
Tether

However, do these features actually stand up to their much higher priced counterparts?

What I like about the product:

Plenty of storage areas

I like the fact that the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller has plenty of storage areas. It has plenty of built in compartments that could carry all my miscellaneous items.

The InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller has a behind the seat carrying area as well as a parent console that really helps when I lug around plenty of items and accessories.

Pushing is a breeze despite the weight

The InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller has a listed capacity of 100 lbs. Even at that weight the stroller is still easy to push around.

The great design of the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller enabled me to easily push and carry my 2 children (whose combined weight goes at around the limit) easily and without any trouble at all!

What could be improved on:

Turning or Cornering

As with all strollers that are of the front locked variety, cornering or turning can be an issue. Jogging in an area that is filled with turns would be highly difficult with the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller.

This is because of the turning mechanics that you would have to learn just to be able to gain a smooth ride.

Dragging under seat storage basket

If you place something heavy on the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller’s under seat storage, then you risk the chance of it hanging low and dragging on the ground.

I would have wished that they had thought of this and added measures to compensate for the sinking storage area.

Bulk

Again, a common issue when it comes to double jogging strollers. The size or bulk of the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller can make it difficult to enter some doors.

This is a big hassle especially when I go to stores that have narrow aisles.

Bottom Line:

For its price range, the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller is really a great buy. You would be able to reap the benefits of double jogging strollers, without having to worry too much about expenses.

With that said, if ease of movement around a city, or mall is what you are aiming for with this stroller, then you would have to look for other options. This is because maneuverability is not the strong suit of the InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller.
