InStep Arrow Fixed Wheel Jogger Review

This stroller is advertised to only fit children smaller than 38" tall. My daughter is approaching that height, but I want to start walking/jogging 5k races more frequently, so I bought it. I ordered it last Sunday, it was delivered yesterday, I assembled it last night with the help of my husband, and I walked/jogged with it this morning in a 5k.
Assembly: It took us an hour to assemble it. First, we couldn't find the instruction manual in the box, and I couldn't locate the manual on the web, even when I visited the manufacturer's website. After we had attached the wheels, I discovered that the manual had been placed in the storage area under the seat. We then used the manual to attach the parent tray to the stroller and to figure out how to adjust the bicycle-style brake for the front tire.
5-point harness system: My child barely fit in the standard harness system with just her pajamas on, so I attached the harness extension (that was shipped with the stroller). After about 10 minutes spent adjusting the harness system with the added extension, I was able to fit it to my child and adjust it to accommodate her wearing a coat and/or blanket.
During the race, my child was able to place her foot on the front tire, but she is approaching 38 inches in height. She still has room to grow before she is too tall to have the really long "canopy" cover her head. She's a little too tall to lie back in the seat (her head touches the safety netting that is at the back. However, when the seat is fully upright, she was still very comfortable in it. In fact, she has told me multiple times that she loves this stroller, and that she wants to go for more rides in it. It's been a long time since she has asked to ride in our Graco IPO or our Graco Alano (2007/2008) model.
The handle is adjustable, and is VERY comfortable (almost ergonomic) to hold. The stroller is stable (as long as the inflation of the tires is balanced), and was very comfortable to push either one-handed or two-handed.
The wheel is fixed, but I didn't have a problem lifting it to make the necessary turns and adjustments for curves on the path of the race.
Size: This stroller is not good for navigating crowds, especially where people may stop suddenly in front of you. I look forward to using it in future races, and around my neighborhood that doesn't have sidewalks. It provides a smooth ride for the child on pavement, concrete, and on grass/dirt.
