INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS

EASE OF USE
The InStep Schwinn Hope Jogging Stroller assembles easily and folds and stores easily.  Most importantly, our jogging Moms and Dads all felt it performed well while they were out for a run.  Some parents reported that it is a little difficult to turn - but keep in mind this stroller is made for straightforward running - not maneuverability.
DURABILITY
Our Moms and Dads had this jogger out and about and came back with no complaints.  And all returned back to us a little tired but with good news about the stroller - it seemed to hold up well.  Obviously the true test would be how well the Hope Jogging Stroller held up over time, but for our limited tests, results were favorable.
VISUAL APPEAL
Classic jogging stroller style with an eye-opening pink and gray design to send a message.  We aren't going to say that all of the Dads thought this was the stroller they would choose first, but everyone was happy with the colors and the reasoning for it.
FUNCTIONALITY
Our experienced joggers were pleased with how well the stroller performed.  Our less experienced were a little concerned about maneuverability, but we already addressed that.  The basket underneath does hang a little low and takes a little getting used to.  Overall, as far as jogging strollers go this performs very well.
COST EFFICIENCY
There are other jogging strollers on the market - and some are less expensive.  Our parents that pointed that out were not our experienced joggers.  Our experienced joggers felt that with this stroller you truly get what you pay for.  You may be paying a tad more, but the performance is worth it.  And all were happy about Schwinn's donation to breast cancer research!

ORIGINALITY

The design of the jogging stroller isn't entirely unique or original - but it's stylish design with a purpose is!  It may not be groundbreaking, but we are happy to give it five stars for awesome intentions alone!
OVERALL RATING

A sturdy, well made jogging stroller that is out to promote a well deserved cause and our Moms and Dads were happy to put this jogger through the paces.  It performed well with the people who count most (our experienced joggers) and that went a long way towards earning the InStep Schwinn Jogging Stroller all four of its stars!
