TFK Joggster X Twist Review

Thanksgiving with Jogger with a Twist

Riddle: What does a baby tiger cub have to do with Thanksgiving? Answer, nothing. It WOULD have had something to do with Halloween, had the costume not arrived on November 2. Thanks a lot, Babies R Us!

 

But it's still cute, and warm, and nice for a brisk fall walk. Which you may do on Thanksgiving. In which case, a nice jogger wheel will come in handy.

A true, fixed jogger wheel. Which you can get on the Joggster X Sport. But what if you are going somewhere indoors, like boxing up groceries at your local Food Bank?

No prob, use the Joggster X City. But what if you are going outdoors , like to a Skating Rink, and you have to maneuver through a crowd of little bodies? Then you should use the Joggster X Twist.But what if you don't WANT three strollers; you only want one? Haha, saving the best for last, this IS all one stroller!

One stroller with a Twist, and that is, it has three different sets of interchangeable wheels! And you don't even need tools to switch them out.

There are two long screws with a cap on the top, and a lock on the bottom. So all you do is open the lock, and unscrew.Genius! Why didn't anyone else think of this first? It has a lot of other unusual features, too. Like a bell on the handlebar, which comes in way more handy than you think. My parking meter was up at the skating rink, and because it was Veteran's Day, all the kids were out of school. And all of them, in the whole city it seemed, thought ice-skating was a good idea. I could NOT move.

80's music blaring and parents singing along, and all the "Excuse me's" I tried were for naught. Until I started ringing that bell. Ding! Ding! Ding! It was amazing, and instinctual. The sea of little skaters parted instantly. The footplate that stays vertical at the bottom of the leg rest was something else I didn't think important.Until going through that aforementioned crowd. On strollers other strollers, I would have worried about SP 2.0's little toes getting smashed. But that footrest provided ironclad protection.

Another great feature is the mosquito net. Not something, again, I thought I would use. Until nap time collided with cub scout time. Unzip the hood, and voila, SP 2.0 slept through all the food sorting, stocking, and shelving.

The reflective trim is fabulous. See how much it glows in the dark here.

Under the footrest, the basket has a center opening, so you can stuff stuff into the basket, if the seat is in full recline. But you may not even need it, because there are sooo many pockets.

A huge back pocket on the rear. A net bottle pocket on each side.

And cute little zippered pockets with the trademark kangaroo on each!

And there's disc brakes, connected to a hand brake. Now many swivel wheel strollers do you know that has THAT feature, which is amazing for the hills.

And since this is an amazingly high-end stroller, the Bugaboo of joggers, if you will, there is also, get this, a PALM REST.

Yes, a place to rest your hands, so you can steer with your palms, and not by gripping your fingers around the handlebars. How cool is that? Cool enough that I say, let us give thanks, to our Thanksgiving Joggster X.Trends For Kids Joggster X Twist Stroller
