- 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. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- 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. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year.

- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. 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. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]

Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- 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?

Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- 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. Franklin for Schwinn Joyrider Jogging Stroller (Red/Gray)

We purchased a $100 “jogging stroller” from a box store when our son was born. We used it, liked it as a stroller but never as a jogging stroller. After much consideration and research, we gave the Joyrider a shot. The price placed it below the seriously high-brow models which made us feel better, we are aspirational runners. We both run, but not enough to spend a semester’s worth of tuition on a stroller. We both completely understand that “you get what you pay for” in this market and we are both 5-star happy with what we got.
The stroller is long. Storage is an issue, we have no garage so we fold it and store it upright against a wall. This really isn’t that different from the other strollers we have, they are large pieces of equipment and they aren’t really designed for low-profile storage. No worries, just know it is large.
The wheels on this thing ROCK. The suspension on it ROCKS. Our son is very happy with the new ride. I have had no problems with the storage thing, it holds bottles of water and has a zip-tight pocket for phone/keys/hotwheels/etc. The rain-shield is great and its nice to have it on-board at any time. Brake is a nice feature though really isn’t that useful. I would like to know what the deal is with this stroller also being a trailer, though we are using it solely as a stroller.
Be confident that this is a good stroller for running and for the kid. The wheels and suspension are well made as is the adjustable handle bar. You aren’t going to go wrong…and with the money you save you can fork out for some new shoes…you’ll need them sooner than you think.
Good luck!

Review by Roadside Ragan for Schwinn Joyrider Jogging Stroller (Red/Gray)

I began using this stroller for a one month old; he fit fine, with the addition of a head stabilizer (pillowy tube that cradles the baby’s head). Granted, I wasn’t moving at mach speed and I stayed on smooth surfaces (concrete, grass intermittently). I wouldn’t recommend rough terrain such as gravel and dirt paths at such a young age.
This product does not fold up tight like an umbrella stroller; no running strollers do. All three wheels must come off for transport in any sedan.
The multiple pockets are so convenient for a mom out on a walk or run, but this may not be condusive for the racing competitor who is pushing their little one. Rest assured, most of the pockets can be removed.
There is a fold down rain shield that completely encloses your little one; GREAT for wind blockage and keeping your little one snug – no excuses on not getting out to exercise on windy or cold days!
The three wheels provide for maneuverability and stability; the fixed wheel is a must for avid runners. If you have a free spinning wheel, you get horrible vibration in front which leads to an uncomfortable ride and extreme wear on the product. It takes learning how to steer; again, if you are into this product to RUN with, you must have that fixed wheel.

Review by Go Chargers! for Schwinn Joyrider Jogging Stroller (Red/Gray)

This is a great stroller for jogging on all types of roads; sidewalks, dirt, gravel, etc. The only problem I had is that the console pouch metal tab was broken when I received it, so there is no way of attaching the pouch onto the stroller, which means there is no where to put my water or daughter’s drink when we go out for a jog. I called and asked for a replacement and received a pouch within a week, but there were no metal tabs on the replacement so I still could not attach it to the stroller. I called back and Schwinn said they were sending the correct pouch as soon as they could- I am still waiting, and it has been over 3 weeks. Overall good stroller, if you can get one with accessories that are not defective.

I have had the Schwinn Joyrider Jogging stroller for about a month so far. I like the 20″ bicycle tires , the shocks, 5 pt harness , hand brake and pedal brake. The brakes work very well. The stroller is very good for jogging and fast-paced walking , you really move in it. I also like the pockets for keys, cell phone,etc. They are roomy and close securely. The stroller is great if your neighborhood does not have sidewalks. The downside is that it is bulky and not easy to turn. If you were to buy this item, I would recommend that it not be your only stroller. I would not recommend it for keeping in your vehicle.

I recently purchased the schwinn joyrider jogging stroller for our 4 mth old. I enjoy walking and my husband enjoys running, so this stroller was the perfect fit for both of our needs. This stroller is lightweight, easy to use, extremely sturdy, and has all the bells and whistles. Our 4 mth old absolutely loves riding in it, and fits very comfortably in the seat (mind you he is very BIG for his age). This is a must buy for any avid runner looking for a jogging stroller. It is definitely worth the money compared to the less expensive models out there! You will not be dissapointed.
