Sunday, July 24, 2011 Tike Tech Single All Terrain X3 Sport Stroller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have FOUR big problems with this stroller.
ONE: There is a serious problem with the engineering of the crotch strap. My daughter is now 10 months old, and when I put her in the stroller, with her back against the backrest (naturally), her crotch/bottom is about 4 inches from where the crotch strap is sewn to the seat bottom. Now, you might not think that is a problem at first, but after about two minutes in the stroller, my poor gal slides forward until her crotch meets the strap, thereby moving her rump from the back of the seat, SO, now she is slumped in the seat sitting on her rounded tailbone. It is so uncomfortable! I have tried to roll up a large cloth diaper and put it between her legs (how embarrassing for the poor girl) just to keep her from sliding forwards!! It doesn't work that great, and looks really dumb. And, because the crotch strap is soooo far away, I don't expect her to grow into it in the near future--maybe this would be best for a two-year-old. The seat is also way too roomy for her, even with the Tike Tech comfort insert-thingy.
TWO: Sunscreen looks big, right? Well, it still does not block the sun any better than any other non-bubble shade. It does nothing special.
THREE: The front brake shifts on its own so that it hits the side of the tire while I am walking/jogging. I have to stop, lean over and manually push it off the one side of the tire back to the middle--over and over.
FOUR: The cheap plastic tire shield slides off the screw and comes down over the front tire, also making an annoying squeeky racket.
AND, just to let other novice shoppers know, don't get any large fixed wheel jogger if you are running around your neighborhood. It is so hard to turn this bad-boys! These types are for long straight runs.
