 Impressive, but know what you are getting.... Aug 25, 2009
By K. Franklin
We purchased a $100 "jogging stroller" from a box store when our son was born. We used it, liked it as a stroller but never as a jogging stroller. After much consideration and research, we gave the Joyrider a shot. The price placed it below the seriously high-brow models which made us feel better, we are aspirational runners. We both run, but not enough to spend a semester's worth of tuition on a stroller. We both completely understand that "you get what you pay for" in this market and we are both 5-star happy with what we got.
The stroller is long. Storage is an issue, we have no garage so we fold it and store it upright against a wall. This really isn't that different from the other strollers we have, they are large pieces of equipment and they aren't really designed for low-profile storage. No worries, just know it is large.
The wheels on this thing ROCK. The suspension on it ROCKS. Our son is very happy with the new ride. I have had no problems with the storage thing, it holds bottles of water and has a zip-tight pocket for phone/keys/hotwheels/etc. The rain-shield is great and its nice to have it on-board at any time. Brake is a nice feature though really isn't that useful. I would like to know what the deal is with this stroller also being a trailer, though we are using it solely as a stroller.
Be confident that this is a good stroller for running and for the kid. The wheels and suspension are well made as is the adjustable handle bar. You aren't going to go wrong...and with the money you save you can fork out for some new shoes...you'll need them sooner than you think.
Good luck!

 Good stroller for fast walking/jogging Nov 15, 2009
By Brandi Dringus
"Matthew's mom"
I have had the Schwinn Joyrider Jogging stroller for about a month so far. I like the 20" bicycle tires , the shocks, 5 pt harness , hand brake and pedal brake. The brakes work very well. The stroller is very good for jogging and fast-paced walking , you really move in it. I also like the pockets for keys, cell phone,etc. They are roomy and close securely. The stroller is great if your neighborhood does not have sidewalks. The downside is that it is bulky and not easy to turn. If you were to buy this item, I would recommend that it not be your only stroller. I would not recommend it for keeping in your vehicle.

 Great For jogging Feb 10, 2010
By Go Chargers!
This is a great stroller for jogging on all types of roads; sidewalks, dirt, gravel, etc. The only problem I had is that the console pouch metal tab was broken when I received it, so there is no way of attaching the pouch onto the stroller, which means there is no where to put my water or daughter's drink when we go out for a jog. I called and asked for a replacement and received a pouch within a week, but there were no metal tabs on the replacement so I still could not attach it to the stroller. I called back and Schwinn said they were sending the correct pouch as soon as they could- I am still waiting, and it has been over 3 weeks. Overall good stroller, if you can get one with accessories that are not defective.

Good Choice Dec 02, 2009
By Roadside Ragan

I began using this stroller for a one month old; he fit fine, with the addition of a head stabilizer (pillowy tube that cradles the baby's head). Granted, I wasn't moving at mach speed and I stayed on smooth surfaces (concrete, grass intermittently). I wouldn't recommend rough terrain such as gravel and dirt paths at such a young age.
This product does not fold up tight like an umbrella stroller; no running strollers do. All three wheels must come off for transport in any sedan.
The multiple pockets are so convenient for a mom out on a walk or run, but this may not be condusive for the racing competitor who is pushing their little one. Rest assured, most of the pockets can be removed.
There is a fold down rain shield that completely encloses your little one; GREAT for wind blockage and keeping your little one snug - no excuses on not getting out to exercise on windy or cold days!
The three wheels provide for maneuverability and stability; the fixed wheel is a must for avid runners. If you have a free spinning wheel, you get horrible vibration in front which leads to an uncomfortable ride and extreme wear on the product. It takes learning how to steer; again, if you are into this product to RUN with, you must have that fixed wheel.

A Great Running Stroller Mar 31, 2009
By Peter
"Peter"
I purchased the Schwinn PR300. I am very satisfied with its quality and how well it functions. I am 6'3", and I have no problem with the height of the handle in its most upright position. (The handle can be made to go very low too.) I did not have any issue with my stride, either. It may not be the lightest stroller, but unless you are using it for racing up hills, the weight is not really an issue. I have also had no issues with its tracking straight, and I have not had to make any adjustments.
My son, who will be 3 in a couple months, did not want to get in it at first, but was very happy in it within 100 yards of running.
