- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer.

- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now.

What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest.

- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet.

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

Review by K. Fan for InStep Ultra Runner Jogging Stroller (Green/Lt Gray/Black)
Rating:
I’m a casual runner and this is my first running stroller. I was looking for something of good enough quality so that my running experience would not be horrible (so that I would continue to use the running stroller), but not break the bank (in case it turns out I don’t really get much use from it for other reasons).
So far it’s performed to my needs very well. Turns out I don’t have much time to use it everyday, so good thing I didn’t spend a fortune. It is light enough and works well enough that I enjoy taking the baby out for runs on the weekends.
Pro’s:
- Tracks well (runs in a straight line)
- It’s alumnium, is light and does not rust.
- Fits in the trunk of a Camry with the front wheel off. Not much room for much else. I doubt I would be able to take it on a vacation or take it to do grocery shopping.
- Canopy adjusts well. The top is velcro so you can move it around.
- Well balanced so you can easily lift the front wheel to make a tight turn.
- Lots of room in the bin and a pretty good cup holder (for use when not running)
- Has a hand brake, but I find I don’t use it much.
Con’s:
- The seat is not padded, but it doesn’t seem like my daughter cares.
- Seat is not removable for washing. My child had a leaky diaper and I was not able to remove the fabric for cleaning, but using a wet paper towel did the trick.
- The harness is kind of cheap feeling/looking, but it serves it’s purpose.
- It’s quite big even when folded up, but I think this is a problem for all running strollers.
I use this for running, speed walking and I take it to places where there’s no pavement (e.g. country side, parks and off-road trails). I’m very satisfied with it’s performance. My other stroller is a Maclaren and I would not be able to do any of this with it.

The stroller is a good jogging stroller, however for the price there were a few things that I was not satisfied with. The seat does not have padding, and the adjustment to lay the seat back or forward is a pain in the butt. You have to tighten it or loosen it with straps that are similar to those on grocery carts. This is fine without the child in the seat, but with them in it is rather difficult (especially if they child is sleeping). Other then these two things I am satisfied when running with it. I just think for the price they could have made each of those a little better.

This product is ok. After using it for a few weeks I have decided it would have been a better idea to spend the money and get one with a moving front wheel. Also this stroller is a bit longer than I thought it was going to be. We took it camping and it was able to go on any terrain so it does serve its purpose. Overall I think it is a decent stroller but if you have the money a stroller that has the front wheel interchangable between fixed and swivel would be best.

Review by A. Gerber for InStep Ultra Runner Jogging Stroller (Green/Lt Gray/Black)

I purchased this stroller recently after having owned another Instep that was well worn after 3 years. I live by the beach and after 3 years of use it was all rusted out so I bought this so I could have smooth ride with my new baby.
Though these strollers are on the low end of the spectrum, I was hoping Instep would have made some upgrades to their line, but it appears they haven’t – other than new colors (which aren’t even better in my opinion). The canopy is still not long enough to cover my babies legs/feet, so I have to clip a blanket to the canopy and drape it so it protects him from the sun at certain angles. Also, the material is still thin and has absolutely no cushion. Once again, we had to, purchase the Kiddopatomus insert to cushion the baby. The 5 pt harness never changed either – it is still a cheap and thin black strap with no padding and I worry that it is uncomfortable for my baby. Lastly, the strap that goes between babies legs appears to be shorter than the previous stroller I owned and it’s so tight it hurts the baby when I pull the buckle through. I’m calling Instep tomorrow to see what they are going to do about it. Unfortunately, it is sewn into the stroller seat so it’s not going to be an easy replacement or fix.
I recommend paying $100.00 more and upgrading to something else. The Schwinn’s looked like the next step up.

I gained 60Lbs with my 7 month old daughter and I have had a horrrible time getting motivated to loose so much weight. I played softball in college so being out of shape was never a problem for me! It got to the point that I would rather sit on the couch and play with her rather than leave her to go run. So I bought this stroller and it is amazing! I was also worried about the front wheel not being able to swivel, but the front of the stroller is so light that it practically turns itself! It is so sturdy and they thought of every safety measure they could! It practically glides, and dont worry if you have a dirt or bumpy road it is great on anything! I just can not think of anything greater to do to loose weight. My daughter loves to get out of the house and ride, and I love to have her with me. She got me into this mess so she better help me out of it!! I know my husband loves to see me loosing the weight, although he is smart enough not to say anything! Ha Ha!!
