Before I bought the Ironman, I tried a less expensive running stroller (Kelty speedster) and was very disappointed. It was a little difficult to unfold and had some sharp edges and finger pinching hazards on some of the parts. Worst of all it pulled very hard to the right when jogging and despite a badly-designed front-wheel alignment adjustment, it could not be corrected. After having it veer into bicycle and car traffic a couple times, I returned it for a refund.My only reservation in buying the Ironman was that I'd read that the handlebar could not be adjusted for height. I'm 6' 3" so I thought this would be an important feature. I bought it anyway, and it's been amazing:The handlebar height is fine for both me and my wife (she's much shorter than I am)The front wheel alignment adjustment is very effective - it was very easy to get it rolling perfectly straightI can unfold it easily with one arm.Lightweight - we live in a 2nd floor walk-up in Brooklyn and i can carry it upstairs easilyComfortable for my son - He's tall and weighs 35lbDidn't think we really needed the shock-absorbers, but they are very nice - particularly when going over curbs, steps, etc.It has a bicycle-type brake on the handlebar - this took a bit of adjustment to get it to work the way I wanted, but is a very nice feature when going down steep hills (out of breath)All of the parts /construction feel very high qualityLarge wheel size makes a big difference, it almost feels like it's rolling itself alongSun shade / cover is very effective and easy to retract fully.Can be a little challenging to get around the grocery store but the storage layer under the seat is very useful and holds a lotVery easy to steer, well balanced so it doesn't take a lot of effort to redirect itComfortable running either behind or along-sideOverall, I highly recommend this stroller.

I'm very happy with the Ironman. You can see it's a well built stroller and know it will last through the years. It's definitely used only for jogging/running though. Use while walking is difficult since the front tire does not swivel. But you will get used to picking up the front tire and setting it down when angling to turn. Even if you drop the front tire it doesn't rattle the baby. When running, its easy to give it a knudge to curve a certain direction; and the faster you go, the easier it is to curve.My daughter is 5 months and fits well in the seat and 5 point harness. The seat does not angle up to 90 degrees and does not completely recline flat. But it has a comfortable lean to it. Well at least it looks like it does.The canopy has great coverage. My infant very rarely gets the sun in her eyes (even in the evenings) and still allows a great view of the road ahead. It might be my favorite feature.Sometimes it needs alignment (probably because I drag the front tire for turns) but the instruction manual has directions on how to fix that. No problemo."Assembly" is only attaching the tires. 15 mins, tops.Yes, it's bulky and a little on the heavy side, but that doesn't override the reason I got it; to safely/smoothly carry my baby, keep up with her parents and last throughout the years.

I love this stroller. I gave a video review on it on my blog a while ago and just had very little bad to say about it. It has so many great features and even the yellow color is so bright which I really love for any parent that jogs in the evening after work when it's dark because you can easily be seen with the stroller. It has a great brake system, great suspension and it's comfortable for a child. The seat is so wide which is great for a toddler/older child. It also has many pockets to fit keys, sippy cups, etc. Their is a great canopy that fully covers the child and the basket is good for a medium size diaper bag. It is incredibly well made, probably the most durable and sturdy stroller I've ever seen but it's still lightweight so I don't worry about lifting it. It folds down pretty compact. The one thing to be aware of is you can't have diaper bags hanging off the bar and stuff because it will tip if their is too much weight on the bar.
