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.....

I have a baby jogger citi elite, which is also a side by side. My dream on me double has a terrible time fitting through doors compared to that one. I deeply wish I had invested in a more expensive side by side. (should have gone Maclaren!) the wheels slide rather than turn on store floors. They are a gripless hard plastic. I use this a lot out of necessity. But having 3 kids under the age of 4, I now see why my super expensive strollers were worth every penny. I'll never get the cheap one again.

YES! It's totally annoying. I assembled it correctly. The only solutions are A) lock the wheels--but then it's practically impossible to control/maneuver the stroller or B) add more weight to the front of the stroller-or have your dog sit near the front, or C) add another dog to your stroller. All options are out for me, and probably you, too. So, my last resort was to put a thicker crate pad down to absorb the shakiness so my dog won't be as annoyed as I am!!

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!

This is the only stroller I've ever had, so it's hard to compare with other 'all terrain' strollers. However we have a very long gravel driveway and it's pretty smooth on it. As for big bumps, it does shake a bit when it comes to bumps, but again who knows how well different strollers can handle bums and pits. My opinion it won't handle jogging on a bumpy road, it has 3 wheels after all, so it does shake.

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.

I never had any problem with the wheel coming off. I did have the wheels on wrong at the beginning and it was easy to fix. I had the wheels on the inside where you walk instead of on the outside. I took them out and they had to be put in on the opposite sides of each other. Maybe you didn't have them snapped in place. It shouldn't have anything to do with the weight. Make sure they are snapped in. You will hear it click when they are snapped in right.

Hi Brian! I just bought myself the KickPed which has the same exact wheels as the Know-Ped (i.e. made by the same manufacturer "Go-Ped")... And yes, I have experienced very much the same as you just said... The fat rubber tires do make for a much slower ride... And much more effort is needed to kick scoot this baby... But, definitely alot of fun just the same! I too have been looking at the Xootr MG for more speed/distance with less effort... Let us know how that one works out for you, please... Looking forward to your update! Thanks!

yes , I found out when there' s not eough wieght inside the stroller, the front wheel shakes a lot. I use the stroller for my pitbull that weights about 45 lb, for trasnportation purpose on the subway, and I've had no problem when shes inside the stroller, only when she' s out.

Hi. Did you two purchase the stroller? If so, I'd love to hear how you rate the stroller? Is it worth the price? Has it held up well over time? Any annoyances? Good customer service? Thanks!

Mine is not the Graphite version. It is the Groove Ultralight. BTW....I love the stroller!!!

I don't really want to tell you "yes", because I don't have the 2012 version of the stroller which is the new version, but I know that the differences between my version (2009) of the stroller and the new version of the stroller is the wheels, the brake (which is much better on the new version), and the biggest difference is the way the main seat reclines (also better on the new version). Aside from that I don't know of any difference between the versions, which would make me believe that the new version of the stroller will support this rumble seat (and I have not seen other versions of the rumble seat either).

I ended up buying a straight wheel, since the swiveling wheel that came with the stroller wobbles at higher speeds. Today I would probably buy the stroller I saw at Costco.

I have not had any issue with that at all, we have a 35 lb 2.5 year old and a 24 lb 1 year old and they do fine....the only thing I have noticed is that we use it as a stroller a bit for walks and the included wheel is wearing pretty quickly so the upgraded wheel would be beneficial, we have not had any issues!

I dont lnow if there is a difference but i have a 6 and 4 year old perfect fit. We didnt add the hot wheel flames and looks so cool. My kids love it. Grass hills.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

The wheels are fine; I dont seem to have problems steering...its a double stroller, its always going to be a bit awkward steering it. However, if you are used to a jogging stroller with large wheels, the Joovy wheels seem sub-par. With two kids, our Joovy goes nearly everywhere with us...you wont regret buying it!
