I would say it is similar. The handles are at a great height. I don't have any trouble. The molded are just as comfy as the foam.......although we all know foam eventually falls off or gets torn, so the molded on the ignite will last longer.

I have a question.. We have the Indigo stroller.. but I want to buy an umbrella stroller because we can't lug the Indigo on the subway at all. The Indigo has a sunshade but it might as well not even be there.. the sun is always in my daughter's face and it is really bugging her. Do either one of these models have a sunshade that actually works? I think that is what will sway my decision the most. Also, the recline - how much do they actually recline? What would you say is the earliest a child will be OK to use these strollers?

I was wondering the handle comfort between the two? I have a standard umbrella stroller and other then the stroller being too short..the handles hurt my hands. But that could be because it's not the easiest to push.

I recently bought the Ignite stroller and have been using it for about a month. The handle height is comfortable (I am almost 5'10"), but the handle shape -- or hardness -- is not the best for me. I plan to purchase handle bar tape from a bike shop (or Amazon) to use on the stroller handles to give them some cushioning.

As i stated before. The ignite has a stationary shade, but it is a little bigger. the jet has one you can move and rotate but is smaller. We don't have a problem with our ignite, but our daughter is 2 and will just move is she wants to or ask for her sunglasses. The ignite recline about 5 inches, and the jet about 2 with a pull string cord. I would want my child to be at least 6 months for the ignite, probably a year for the jet.....less support on the back of the seat. I say the jet is more like an umbrella stroller seat wise with the fully movable shade, the ignite is more like your full size stroller seat and shade wise.I have pics of her in it reclined and sitting, but don't know where to post them??

Since you own them you would know --- Are you able to put a diaper bag over the bag of the handles without it tipping over when your child gets out? I have a McClaran (SP?) stroller that does this & it drives me nuts!

Our daughter is now two, so we don't carry one.....the most I have put on my ignite is a small toddler back back with a mobigo, and extra clothes over one handle, a drink in the holder and my purse on the other side .......and it doesn't tip.I was curious, I dug out a diaper bag and filled it up......neither stroller tipped! but I put the handle of my over the shoulder bag behind the parent tray so the bag laid against the crossbars of the back of the stroller.....

No the Jet barely reclined at all, the Ignite has about a 5" recline, and s wider and taller seat definitely worth the extra $20

The front tire did not arrive with the package but they shipped it. So far I have not had problems but I think they are going to wear out in a shorter time than I anticipated. One thing, there are two settings for the wheels. For one, the wheels are allowed to move pretty freely (used in town or someplace where you make alot of turns). The second setting keeps the wheels basically locked forward (when out walking the dog basically straight). If the wheel is in the first setting when I walk the dog, the wheels wobble. I still love my "stroller" and so does my dog. If you are having a problem, call Pet Gear. They respond pretty quickly. The front tire did not arrive with the package but they shipped it.

We received this stroller about a month ago and so far no problems with the wheels. We love this stroller!

When I first used the stroller the front left wheel shook like crazy. It seemed like there was too much room between the wheel and the bar it fits onto. My husband just wrapped some masking tape around the bar and slipped the wheel back in place which made the wheel nice and snug. No shaking since!

If you want to keep the stroller, a bicycle shop would probably be able to fix it. But since this happened the first time you used it, I would return it as defective, and exchange for another stroller. I am curious, if the reason the wheel feels wobbly , are you trying to jog or run without the front pin locked in place ?

Like the previous responder I have only purchased the Jet and the quality is plain horrible! I ended uo getting the Chicco Liteway Plus amazing! Great features and great quality. If you read reviews of this one and the Ignite I know there are so many people whom compare them. That maybe the most helpful way to know.

Hello, There really is not much of a difference. On the new model, we changed the seat a bit not to include the plastic cushon/pad. Also, one of the hardware pieces changes from a nut to a bold. We permanently discontinued the black Tricycoo. I think those were the only changes. Are you familiar with the Joovy? We have several other toys as well. I personally love the Bicycoo which is Joovy's balance bike. It is great for speeding up the transition from toddler to bike without training wheels. If you have any more question please respond below in the comments or contact Joovy's Customer Care Center. They love answering any questions you may have. Thanks! Thanks!

Handles much better jogging than my bumble ride! I have never had to lock the wheels, although I know that's recommended;-). I confess I even jog with the Joey seat on the front... Def not recommended by the manufacturer. Oops. Handles really well and is the only way to get out of the house with three babies.

Mine went in fully. Email the vendor. My brake was broken when I got it and they sent me a new rear axle. They are very responsive. This is a great stroller. I use it for my 14 pound poodle who has deformed toenails, so it is painful for him to go on walks. Now I can take both my dogs on walks together, one on a leash and the other in the stroller.

I have the push up as far as my model allows. My husband is 6'3" and while it does seem lower than the average stroller he hasn't had any trouble with it. The new models may have longer bars or extenders I haven't checked. We love this stroller though! The peanut bassinet was wonderful when our baby was tiny. We have 5 kids so this system is by far our favorite over the monster strollers we had previously. It maneuvers so nicely through amusement park crowds and stores. Your height may make you feel a bit like you are pushing a toy around at first but my husband definitely isn't stooped over or uncomfortable when pushing baby around. Best of luck!

First time I got a damaged stroller - the shocks on one wheel didnt work - but it was replaced within the week. The second one is fine. No problems so far with wheels...

This is the BEST stroller I've ever had concerning steering. I have not had any issues with the wheels popping off.When you put them on according to directions, I don't know how they could pop off?? I love this stroller - my only problem with it (as stated in my review) is that the seat covers can't come off to be washed. Other than that, it is PERFECT!!

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

Hi Our stroller is fine. Have you got the tyres evenly pumped up, or have you got a slow puncture in one of them. Also are the wheels all properly locked in place. If none of this works look at the stroller from ground level to make sure the frame is straight. Ours only pulled to one side when we had a puncture in one of the tyres, once this was mended we had no further trouble. Hope this all helps in some way.

I live in warm and sunny Los Angeles so I may not be able to help you out here. However, I do take this stroller to the barn a lot -- and I noticed when the terrain is not smooth -- full of dirt, sand, etc., the wheels do get stuck because they're so tiny. From what I've been told, if you frequent a non-smooth terrain (like, snow), you may want to opt for the strollers with bigger wheels. That's my uneducated opinion. Good luck! :-)

No the small wheel vibrates too much. I contacted Schwinn about getting a big wheel but they said none was available. So I ended up returning this stroller and getting the croozer instead.
