Pro Great Jogger for the price.
This is a great stroller/car seat combo but I really recommend getting a smaller "travel" type stroller frame for the carseat as the jogger is a bit of a pain to be taking in and out of a car/van/SUV when you are running errands or even traveling on an airplane. I purchased the Graco SnugRider Elite Stroller and Car Seat Carrier, Black and have appreciated having the smaller option available for running errands.
In terms of use of the jogger stroller - I do a lot of walking for exercise - 4 miles 4-5x a week. This stroller has held up well for the 9 months I've been using it. It's easy to collapse and expand and isn't too heavy for me to lift in and out of my van. I did have an issue with thorns in the tires when using it in AZ, so I bought thorn-resistant inner tubes for the back tires.
Major con is that the phone holder does not work with my samsung galaxy phone. It was likely designed for the older iphone. My phone doesn't even fit in the lift up compartment where I put keys or my garage door opener, so that space is a bit of a waste. But it holds my waterbottle and the height for the handle bar is good for my 5'7" height.
Con DANGEROUS AND UNWIELDY.
We have had a Graco jogger carriage before for our first child 10 years ago, so we were surprised out how badly this product performs. Where to begin? First, it has a front-wheel locking mechanism which is extremely dangerous. It locks at the slightest bump, making its use as a jogger extremely dangerous for tipping potential. Second, it is extremely heavy and unwieldy, and barely portable. Third, when folded, it is still extremely large and bulky, taking up the vast majority of space in our vehicle's - an SUV, by the way - trunk. Fourth, the tray cups are difficult to remove, somehow suctioned in, so that removing them causes them to pop out with projectile force, dangerous to parent users and, especially, a child who may be in its path. Sadly,this product has turned out to be extremely dissatisfying, risky, and dangerous child safety product, not really suitable at any price.
