Instep Jogging Stroller

The Instep Safari Stroller – For Indoors and Outdoors

The InStep Safari stroller is practical for general use by any parent with a baby while outdoors or indoors (in malls) as it has features that make it adjust to all kinds of situation. When used outside, some users even refer to it as an “off-road” baby vehicle, in the same context as an adult off-road vehicle. Many people have taken it on outdoor trips over different types of terrain and it has measured up to its name of Safari. The front wheel can be locked in stationary position or put in swivel position allowing flexibility in negotiating tight corners.

This stroller does not have actual shock absorbers, but its frame is pliable enough giving it the springiness that lessens the bumps when the baby is on it, assuring of a comfortable ride for the little one. Its lightness in weight allows any mom to simply carry it across street corners in a hurry as when the signal light is about to turn red for pedestrians. It can happen that the mother is in a hurry to catch up with somebody already on the other side of the street, so she has to practically run across carrying the stroller and the baby all at once.

Parents chose the Safari because of its low price, smaller dimensions when folded for storage in the car baggage compartment and because of its lighter weight. Its wheels can even be removed and assembled back later if it becomes necessary for it to be accommodated in the trunk of a small car. It has only a weight of 21 pounds compared to the heavier 28 pounds of other stroller brands.

Characteristics of the InStep Safari Stroller:

Restraints

Its 5-point harness ensures maximum safety for the baby while being strapped to his seat, yet convenient enough for him to loosen it a bit by just simply pushing against it. A kid could be attracted by something to his front causing him to reach for it.

WHEELS

The wheels, basically smaller bicycle wheels, are inflated such that the baby gets a cushiony ride on the stroller. The rubber on the wheels is thick and durable and made to last and endure off-road situations.

RECLINE

The recline control on the Safari allows you to make it almost fully upright, or to almost fully flat, when the baby already has dozed off because of the swinging ride he is enjoying. The normal sitting position for a baby however is always at a slight recline so he is seated more comfortably in place and you avoid any possibility of him banging against the front tray.

HEIGHT/ADJUSTABLE HANDLES

The handlebar of this stroller is also adjustable depending on the height of the adult using it – lower for the short person, or higher for the taller user.

BRAKES

The parking brake on the Safari is a convenient push-down bar that extends across the rear base and locks into cogs on both rear tires, practically immobilizing the stroller. This is used for the safety of the baby while left alone on the stroller for a while.

WASHABILITY

The stroller, made of a rough nylon-like material that is permanently affixed to the Safari frame, is easy to wash with water from a hose. The nylon type material though seldom needs washing as it does not collect dirt. The seat pad of the baby does need regular washing which is convenient to do as it can easily be detached for cleaning and snapped back again in place later.

DURABILITY

As many users have posted in product reviews, the Safari is a durable piece of equipment. Its light but strong frame can last one or two kids or even more, as the kids can keep coming, especially when the parents marry young.

These characteristics enumerated above are the reasons why you will make a good choice in the InStep Safari Stroller when you have to buy one for your baby.
