Who Would Buy This: Active parents shopping for a sturdy, low-cost single jogging stroller packed with plenty of amenities.

Pros: 

With its lightweight aluminium frame, the Schwinn Turismo weighs just 24.5 lbs making it easy to lift and manoeuvre on your travels. The fabrics are made with 420D polyester for rugged durability. A choice of two trendy colors is available; Blue/Gray or Red/Gray.

Extra-large 16-inch rear wheels complete with an exposed spring suspension system provide high speed and stability for the most avid joggers over rough or sandy surfaces, while the 12-inch front swivel wheel provides easy turning during your exercise outing. The front wheel can be locked into a fixed position for extra stability when you don’t want the stroller to veer off course whilst jogging.

The wheels are removable by simply using a quick release lever. This is handy for those who have a smaller car with limited trunk space. Packing the stroller away is a breeze thanks to the dual-trigger easy folding system. Parking the stroller is made easy using the rear individual brake pedals. While this isn’t the most innovative of braking systems we’ve seen on a jogging stroller, it is fine for most purposes.

The 50 lbs seat weight capacity ensures that the stroller has the longevity to accommodate your child well into their toddler years. For added comfort, the seat has a faux lambskin seat pad. A 5-pt adjustable harness takes care of safety.

Its adjustable handlebar can be adjusted to allow you to attain a comfortable position for your height. With its Krayton rubberized grip, you’ll have no problems losing grip of the handlebar when jogging or taking a brisk walk with your little one.

An oversized canopy complete with a retractable viewing window on top, provides plenty of sun protection. Due to its pivoting design you can move the canopy down to keep out low sunshine when taking an evening stroll.

A deep removable storage basket located under the seat gives you a reasonable amount of room to store bits and bobs like diaper bags, toys and bottles. Other storage includes a parent tray with 2 large cup holders to allow you to grab refreshment within arm’s length.

Cons: 

A little heavy and bulky according to some users, but for a jogging stroller it’s only a standard weight.

There is no hand brake. This is a feature we feel is very useful on a jogger. Also, the brakes lock individually on each wheel instead of one bar which makes braking a little awkward.

The built-in MP3 speaker is weak and too easy for your child to grab due to its location inside of the canopy.

Guarantee: 5-year limited warranty.

Summary

The Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger is a smooth mover with plenty of options for adjustability as well as little extras that make the journey that more luxurious. We’re also impressed with its overall build quality particularly considering this is an entry-level stroller.

Newborns can also take a ride thanks to its car seat compatibility via the built-in adapter. Although keep in mind you can only use it as a standard stroller when it’s used with a car seat.

Any active parents looking for an affordable jogging stroller packed with features should add this to their shortlist.
