 Didn't hold up, March 22, 2009
I bought this stroller about a year ago and have gotten about eight months use out of it. At first, I loved it. But it has failed to hold up over frequent (2-3 times a week) use.
First of all, the drawstring style seat adjustment is difficult to use. It requires two hands to do so and you can't adjust it at all when your kid is in it.
The tires are great. This stroller has gone through the woods (off trail), over boggy ground, and through very tight spaces. We've only gotten it wedged once (between two rock walls). However, after three months or so, the front wheel started to shake uncontrollably while walking. We have to use the stroller with the wheel always locked which makes it a pain to steer. In addition, despite frequent cleaning and keeping the stroller stored indoors, the rims are covered with rust.
The levers that you squeeze to collapse the stroller jam frequently, which requires my husband to "coerce" it into folding. This would be fine, except it means I can no longer take the stroller out on my own. I wouldn't be able to get it back into the car. This is huge because my husband does not enjoy jogging and so rarely accompanies me.
All in all, this is a good budget stroller for someone planning on cruising the mall or an occasional hike, but don't expect it to hold up over time. Buy something better built.

 Nearly smothered my daughter!!!, November 25, 2008
THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET IMMEDIATELY!! My daughter had acid reflux that affected her sleep. I bought this and on the first night I used it, I woke up to find the velcro holding one of the pads on had slipped and trapped my baby's face between it and the wedge. I pulled her out and as soon as I did she took a huge breath and started coughing like crazy. If I hadn't woken up she might have died. If your baby has reflux you can purchase a wedge without the positioner [...]. It fits under the sheet and covers the entire width of the crib so they can't roll off the side. We used that one and it was great, I only wish I could remember the brand name of it.
