Baby TrendPathway 35 Jogger Black/Optic Red, Set Of 1, Black, Red

Overall I do really like this stroller. I primarily use this stroller to go running with my 3 year old son riding in it. He really likes it better than our previous stroller, which is a plus too.I've run 44 miles with this stroller so far and my biggest complaint is the front wheel. If I could use one word to describe it, it would be "squirrely". From the beginning that wheel has been an annoyance. I've tried lubricating it after the first couple of walks/runs with it, hoping it was something that needed to be broken in. It did not improve, lol. When you have weight in the stroller, it's usually fine and I have no issues with it, but if my son wants to get out and walk I have to do a wheelie with the stroller because the front wheel just goes all over the place except straight. There was a time that it went squirrely on me with him in the stroller while we were trying to get through a cross walk and that's happened with other strollers too but that's rare.This stroller DOES have a front wheel locking mechanism but it is not conveniently placed. The front wheel locking tab is located directly ON the front wheel and it's a pain to have to stop, put on the brakes and then go up and lock/unlock the front wheel. My previous stroller had a front wheel lock lever at the back of the stroller that you could easily use to engage and disengage WHILE you were walking or running. I realize that this may just be due to the fact that this is a $100 stroller and that's just a place they cut corners for price.The big sunshade is a huge plus as we live in zone 7b in the US and it gets pretty hot and sunny here in the warmer months of the year. I love having the two cup holders and the flip up compartment in the back. My water bottle fits well in it and I can put my keys in the other one. The under the seat storage area is also really nice and big. I was able to run to Kroger the other day and buy a 4 pack of toilet paper, get my prescription and fit all of that with my purse down below. Overall, squirrely front wheel aside, I would get this stroller again. The stroller is mostly used with my son is riding in it and the front wheel acts fine and how it acts when it's used for it's intended purpose is what really matters.

I bought this to be a beach stroller. I was a little nervous about it because I saw conflicting review, but here's my experience:On soft/fluffy/dry sand where your feet sink three inches down into it, you must lock the front wheel. If you don't, the wheel will immediately rotate to 90 degrees from the direction of travel and it will become impossible to move. If you do lock the front wheel, you can go through the dry sand relatively easily. I wouldn't want to push it that way for an hour, but it's perfectly fine for rolling through on the way to more firmly-packed sand.On firmly-packed sand, the kind you could ride a bike on, this works about as well as it does on asphalt: just great.On damp sand closer to the water where your feet leave little mucky footprints, you can roll through as long as you don't go too slowly, though probably this depends a lot on how much weight the stroller is carrying. I had my 20 lb. baby in it and a few lightweight items in the basket. If you go too fast through the wet sand, the wheels will throw the sand up in the air on the back side of the wheel. I am not a jogger, so this was fine for me, but I'd consider that more carefully if I were actually planning to jog.One really nice feature is that I don't accidentally kick the stroller if I take a big step. The handle is pretty far back from the rest of the stroller's mass, so it's pretty impossible to kick it when walking.Overall I'm very happy with this for the price. We have an Uppababy Vista at home, and I miss some of its features, but this stroller is perfectly great in all the ways that really count for being a stroller.

I searched log and hard for a new stroller and read a million reviews. I didn't have a ton of money to spend on the City Mini that everyone told me to get. I saw this one and got fooled by the 4.5 star reviews and wish I had sucked it up and paid more for a different one. our biggest issue is the front wheel. Basically we can only use this stroller if the front wheel is locked (as you would do to jog). It works fine in this condition but then you cannot turn it without lifting the front up. However, if the front wheel is not locked it is absolutely impossible to use because the wheel jiggles so forcefully. This does not happen just when walking fast. I have intentionally walked incredible slow (slower than I would ever walk in any situation in my life) and it jiggles so much. Basically we can't even use the stroller. I wanted something I could use day to day and as a jogger and this only functions as a jogger but you're out of luck if you ever need to turn it. The other down side is how bulky it is. We have a mid size SUV and it takes up the entire trunk. The tray lifts up but as far as I know does not come off and so it is just bulky. It is spacious and the cup holders and the tray are nice. I like that it can recline or sit up (though the strap used for that is hard to adjust). Overall I am really disappointed in this product and feel that I completely wasted my money. My recommendation is do not get this unless you plan to not put it in your car and only use it for jogging...then it will probably be fine.

I really love this stroller. It glides so easily over uneven, bumpy roads. It has a lot of neat features like a place to put your phone or keys. My 6 month old grandson can sit up very well and fell asleep in it in the first 10 minutes during our very first test-walk. Fortunately, it is easy to adjust to a comfortable semi laying down position. This wasn’t the case at first! The black strap seemed to get caught up in the plastic adjustment piece and it was not easy at all to adjust! This was an Open Box (returned) item which makes me wonder if that’s the reason it was returned. My husband is handy and got it working smoothly within a few minutes :) RThis could have been a fluke as I haven’t seen any other reviews with this problem. I am very happy I didn’t have to return due to something so minor, although, I likely would have asked the seller first, if they could be of help. Either way, it’s a great stroller for the price in my opinion.

This is my first review, pre put-our-granddaughter-in-the-stroller review. First off, the assembly was minimal. It took longer to unwrap and clip the zip ties than it did to assemble the wheels, so don't let that intimidate you if you dislike that sort of thing. Second, this thing is very well made. It's got a really nice, sturdy weight without feeling like it'll be difficult to actually push around. Also, I really like that the front wheel can be set to swivel or set to face straight forward. The brakes are easily accessible and you don't have to contort your body just to engage them. The cup holders (including two sets, one for baby and one for parent) are nice also and can be easily removed for cleaning. The upright or recline positioning is very smooth & also allows for many different upright or slightly upright positions. So far I'm very impressed! I plan to update my review once we've had a chance to actually put it to use.
