How fast does this model go? The older models were, from what I hear, slow and did not mimic real mommy movement

It has different speed levels, to me the highest is too fast, so I keep it in the middle for speed which is perfect. My little one falls asleep quick when she is in it.

Still the same. Even the highest speed was not enough and it was too machanical to be mommy. I'm doing better with just a regular swing

I think very slow! Seriously I never buy it again! Instead of mine doesn't work, My baby prefer a simply bouncer

We used ours two years ago and loved it. It was neither too slow or too fast. Our baby cried for three months until a friend recommended the Momma Roo. It is now our baby shower gift of choice. We will start our new baby in it at one month.

This machine has options 1-6 but does not indicate how fast each 1 vibrates. I will add this is one heavy Mama!! Good luck in finding what you are searching for.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

I only tried it once many years ago and it was boring. You can hardly notice it change. But try it and see. Any form of movement will effect it, but it was built for machine movement I believe. Not reading the prior posts I answered the request. My model is quite old and if it has a pedestrian mode, I don't know it. Will check further, but being unable to walk any great distance, do not need the feature. Will try and find the booklet and update it in my mind.

I found this stroller to be very flimsy, not at all like the other mountain Buggys. I have the triple and the double and I live their durability, but I was extremely disappointed with the mountain buggy plus one. I found it hard to steer while running and very cumbersome in general. I hope this helps

Are there any cons to this double jogger? I'm looking to use it with my 7 month old & 3 & 1/2 year old. I'd like to use it as my everyday stroller as well as jogger

My son is 6 months and he has an easy time going backwards thus far. We havnt grasped the concept of going forward but the wheels and directionals on the wheels are pretty easy even when i push him into another room. Hes not very entertained by the console, so i normally have to give him other toys to keep his attention.

No, took our granddaughter, who is also tiny, long time to reach floor. She did enjoy sitting in it and being pushed and liked the toys. I don't know if you can get a small one anymore. Government regs have them bigger and wider. Would give anything to have back the small maneuverable walkers from the eighties.

Wish someone would answer you. I am interested as well. Maybe not that fast though. I weigh about 100lbs and am hoping due to my size (being a shrimp) that I can get away with a machine that isn't monster-sized. This one seems ideal. I run about 6-7mph...Please let me know if you've found anything out!Thanks,Julie

The mini cycle has a small, small turn radius. I was frustrated with the "range of motion". It's difficult to work up a sweat. I'm young relatively fit and it didn't work out for me. Now, my mom is a senior citizen with health problems. She LOVES it. It words great for her. The small range of motion is great for her joints, and she gets a small amount of beneficial exercise she wouldn't ordinarily get.

It seems to roll a little slow on carpet, if a child learning to walk that's perfect because you want it to go slow. An toddler will have no problem on carpet, my granddaughter zooms around everywhere!!!

I've done some light jogging with it, but I wouldn't call it a everyday jogging stroller. It doesn't have trail tires and the maneuverability isn't what I would want it I wanted to job with it all the time. Mostly I do a lot of really long walks, mall and zoo trips, etc.

No, it's not due to the fact that it's a floor model. The treadmill is designed that way. It took me a little while to get used to the slow response because, like you, I wanted it right away. Now that I've become accustomed to it I actually like it better that way.

I've jogged with it but it's not designed as a 'real' jogging stroller. We do have a jogging stroller and the regular graco stroller that we got as a travel system w the car seat snd I'll tell you that both of those are in the basement except this mini. We love it. It's lightweight and so easy to operate. We took it to Mexico when our little one turned 1. We didn't have to check it in, again, because it's so light it's considered a lightweight stroller but it's also sturdy and much better quality that most 'umbrella' strollers. We love it and we have no complaints. Oh and it is very much easy to transition from infant to toddler. I've jogged with it but it's not designed as a 'real' jogging stroller.

It works for my baby. She can move pretty fast in wood floors, concrete floors and also on carpet. I find if she wants to go somewhere or grab something, she can move it faster. So if baby has incentives to move baby will try more. Sometimes she does get stuck and i have to move it and then she can move around again. She is 9mos now. Had it around since 7 mos. I have 2 of these for grandparents and our house and no complaints on both.

Thank you so much !!! Whew...one more question if you don't mind. I have a 2 1/2 year old that is about 28 lbs and I keep reading some concerns about the size of the toddler and being comfortable. Have you any experience or comments about this and are you overall happy with this stroller? Thank you so much for your time !
