Wayfinder Jogging Stroller

I purchased this prior to the birth of my first child and this is the only stroller I have used for, now, two years. Pros: compatible with my car seat using a convenient click-in system, comfortable ride for child, adjustable handlebar is great, folds Cons: I purchased this because it was advertised as being more compact. It is still huge and cumbersome and heavy. I can't fathom that the difference between this jogging stroller and the next Bob stroller up would be very noticeable. My biggest complaint is with regards to the wear on the tires. I did not start running with the stroller until my child was about 18 months old. Since I started running, I need new tires approximately every 15 miles. That is not a typo. I'm not buying cheap tires either, I purchase Bontrager tires from a local bike shop, which makes me think there is something wrong with the stroller design. The tire wear is symmetrical and runs right down the middle of both rear tires, so there is nothing out of square. We are bike people and are very used to troubleshooting tire problems, but the tire problems on the stroller are mystery. Perhaps I have a defective stroller? Unfortunately didn't discover this until too long after purchase to do anything about it. Unfortunately, this stops me from jogging with my child. Additionally, the design of the front wheel and the air valve for the tire is horrible. While you can use a floor pump for the rear tires, you have to carefully attach a hand pump to the front tire as the valve is right next to one of the large plastic spokes. I have tried every floor pump I can get my hands on and none of them fit the front tire. Rather annoying.

We purchased this as new parents, not fully recognizing all of the features we would need. It is a quality stroller overall, And I am mostly happy with it. However, the sunshade is significantly shorter than this companies, other models. Perhaps for a toddler, or a child, their eyes would be above the shade line. But for an average baby, the stroller simply does not work on sunny days. It is not safe or healthy for a developing child’s eyes, to face that much exposure. I wish I would have purchased one of their other models, or went with a different brand.

I’ve had two revolutions previously and never even had a thought about the weight. The wayfinder is so heavy I can barely lift it into my car. I regret taking a chance on this product as it was a gift for the baby shower. Money would have been better spent on the revolution and an adapter for the car seat.

Warning, there is no adapter for this stroller for most major car seat brands (Gracco, Chicco, Uppababy, etc.). Why they wouldn’t make an adapter for this when they have one for all their other strollers is beyond me. If you want a stroller that will work with your car seat, look for a different one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Wayfinder Jogging Stroller is what my daughter needed. A Few months ago my daughter was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia. She has a Cyst that has affected the ability to walk since she looses balance. I had a different stroller but I needed something bigger and more comfortable since she would be using it a lot. This has made it easier to move around with my daughter in her current condition. My daughter is currently 31lb and 41” there’s still plenty of room for her. It’s very easy to maneuver. The tires makes it super Smooth and easy to move around even on dirt. Not to mentioned it’s super easy to fold and doesn’t take much space. I highly recommend this Stroller. No price is too high if you get a stroller that it’s Confortable, Smooth and will be good to use for many years to come.
