I have been wanting a jogger stroller since last summer, but never found one and really did not want to buy brand new if I could get away with it! So I went searching on Craigslist and came across one not too far from home.
Jonathon and I ventured out after school to find the place. And I decided yes that it was a great deal. The jogger is by Instep and is in excellent condition and we purchased it for $25. Brought it home, washed it up and loaded it back into the van so we were ready to try it out.
Thursday afternoon I met up with my sister after my morning errands/appointments to go for a walk.
Now it is a very nice stroller ~ Jonathon is very comfortable riding in it ~ its very easy to push ~ I love the bicycle tires ~ I love the fact that it has a big storage underneath and there is pockets all over the thing ~ Great buy ~ EXCEPT ~ the front wheel does not swivel ~ I knew this when I bought it, but didn't realize how much of a pain it actually is.
Maybe over time I will adjust to the way it is ~ maybe not ~ I will use it and see if I can learn to like it more and in the meantime I am searching for one that the front wheel swivels.
Here are some pictures of our day yesterday.

Today we will test it out on our dirt road ~ It will be nice to be able to get out and take Scruffy(dog) along with us!
Ugh that is my biggest complain too! I'm not really sure why this is because it is really difficult to go around a turn without a front wheel swiveling! I ran a race with Colin last weekend and it was really hard to make turns because I had to pick up the stroller to turn. I greatly enjoy running with him, just wish the front wheel swiveled!
