And besides those specifications, the Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger itself has plenty of other features, some including:
_It's Lightweight Frame
_The frame itself is made out of aluminum making it a heavy duty yet lightweight frame at the same time. It weights around 25 pounds making it very easy to handle and transport throughout different areas, and it's also comfortable to use regardless of the weight of your child.
_It's Swivel Locked Front Wheels
_The front wheels are made for some surprisingly easy maneuvering and they can also be locked to face forward which will add more control and stability. And when it's time for some jogging or running this might be very important. Due to the fact that the stroller is very easily maneuverable, you can easily maneuver it with one hand.
_The Adjustable Handles
_You can easily adjust the height of the handlebars which makes it very good for parents of different height. Not only that, but these are also slip resistant which will ensure a proper grip as you jog or run.
_The Built In MP3 Speaker
_There is also a built in MP3 speaker that will make it easy for your child to enjoy his/her favorite music. The speakers are built in right into the stroller and they aren't going to hit your baby or dislodge it even when you are traveling on some rough terrain.
_Exposed Spring Suspensions
_You'll find that the back wheels of this stroller also feature an exposed suspension that ensures a smooth ride. The suspension system itself is able to handle the roughest of terrains so you'll be able to jog or run everywhere while the child is enjoying the ride.
_Multiple Storage Areas
_There are several storage options for you to choose from. The storage basket below is going to provide you with some space for diaper bags and similar items. There is also a molded parent tray that is located near the handle which comes with two cup holders. They are also rubberized which will keep your drinks in place as you are maneuvering.
_Pivoting Child Tray
_There is also a molded child tray that comes with two cup holders as well. You can use the cup holders for some drinks or food which will allow for them to be within easy reach for the child.
_Compatible With Infant Car Seats
_Even though the stroller seat is mostly recommended for children that are older than 6 months, you'll still be able to use it with newborns because it's compatible with most of the infant car seats. It's also recommended that you use it in urban terrain first until your child reaches 6 months of age.
Now, I'd like to move on to the pro's and cons of the Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger.
_The Pros:
_It's Both Safe and Useful
_It allows you as a parent to be able to continue your active lifestyle without having to compromise your child's safety at the same time. This is perfect if you want to remain active at the same time you're taking care of your child.
_Very Easy to Use
_It simply is very easy to use when you take in consideration the swivel system allowing you to maneuver the stroller everywhere and you can even do it by one hand.
_Withstands Rough Terrains
_By taking advantage of its suspension system there really is no stopping you from continuing with your own active lifestyle because it can handle the roughest terrains. You'll also be able to use it on urban terrains.
_It's Also Entertaining
_Do you really think that there are other strollers out there with the ability to provide as much entertainment for your child? The MP3 player will keep your baby preoccupied with the music as you're walking or jogging. And due to the fact that it's built in you don't have to worry about your child kicking the iPod or smart phone outside of the stroller. On top of that, you also don't have to worry about the speakers or mp3 players dislodging from some place inside the stroller and then hitting your child.
_Very Affordable
_The stroller only costs around $200 making it very affordable. You'll find that most prices on single jogging strollers are going to start at around $300 or more, so when you take in consideration all the features that this one comes in it really is a deal.
_The Cons:
_I don't really think this is that much of a negative, but the seat might be a bit too short for some of the taller babies out there. But unless your child is around the 50 pound limit it'd be excellent for you. I highly recommend it overall!
