The Ironman stroller is designed specifically for Moms whose passion, other than her new baby, is running marathons or competing in triathlons. This high-tech sport-utility stroller keeps kids weighing up to 70 pounds comfortable for miles and miles of road. The tripod-shaped frame has sturdy suspension that absorbs 3 inches of wheel movement to improve the maneuverability, distribute children’s weight evenly, and reduce the amount of bouncing and vibration--even when used on a potholed or unpaved dirt road. The rugged 16-inch-diameter polymer tires are also safe for off-road use and have a lower rolling resistance to minimize the chance of the Ironman taking off downhill on its own. Unlike most strollers, the Ironman also has a front wheel with adjustable tracking for precision performance. For a sport-utility stroller of this size, the Ironman is amazingly lightweight, coming in at just over 20 pounds, which is owed in part to the light yet durable stainless-steel spokes and aluminum rims. The stroller also measures a narrow 15 inches wide so it cruises just as easily through store aisles as it does on the road. Compact folding is done easily with the Ironman by folding the frame in half two times and then folding the wheels in on either side. Kids are safely strapped into the Ironman’s partially reclining seat with a padded five-point harness and are shaded by a built-in canopy. For additional safety, there is a hand brake and wrist strap on the stroller’s push bar. This stroller for hard-core exercise enthusiasts is a brilliant yellow that is highly visible to passing cars. It is recommended for babies from 6 to 8 weeks old and up and should not be used off-road until babies are at least 6 to 8 months old. --Cristina Vaamonde

out of 5 stars Great jogger, not for store aisles, December 8, 2005
 

 
Reviewer:   Wilbur D. Wong "Wilbur Wong" (Richmond, CA USA) 

I just got my ironman, and have a mixed usage for it. 1.) carrying my 40 pounds of camera gear on trails. 2.)carrying my 9 month old grand-daughter around when she is visiting.

The build and quality is superb. I have heard other reviewers say they have tracking problems. I don't think there isn't anything here that a good bicycle mechanic can't solve. If you can't adjust your own bike, you may or may not be able to fix minor problems with this.

The folding I think is very excellent.

My fore warning is don't expect this to maneuver easily in store aisles, quite contrary to the Amazon description of "cruise easily . . . store aisles". The problem there is maneuverability because all three wheels go only straight. If you want to be able to do both, consider the B.O.B. Revolution, but for rough trails, or high speed running stick with the Ironman.

out of 5 stars Over Rated, November 19, 2005
 

 
Reviewer:   Ken and Jen (Vancouver,BC) 

This is not a bad looking stroller, but for six months now it has been nothing but a pain. From day one despite my many attempts to fix it, adjust it, tune it, the stroller just keeps pulling so hard to the left as soon as you start pushing it. My brother has another brand and it works just fine. I also do not like the rattle noises this stroller makes and the seat material feels very cheap. I do like the large wheels, but overall I am not pleased with my purchase. For the money I spent "over four hundred" because I purchased the rain cover along with the seat pad, I feel like I should have had the best of the best. Instead I feel like I purchased the wrong stroller for me and my daughter.

out of 5 stars Must have for Active Parents!!!!!!!!, September 28, 2005
 

 
Reviewer:   Jannie (Denver, CO) 

This is the baby item I was most excited to purchase. And for good reason, it is worth every penny. I couldn't wait till my daughter was born to start training for my 1st adventure race - I was able to put my daughter into this at 4 weeks old and not even have to worry about her. I was able to do simple trail running/ road running without her waking up. I do however recommend that you purchase some type of head support if you are going to be placing a little tyke in it we used the Snuzzler - Infant Support by Kiddopotamus and some type of blanket system, we used the Papooska by The Papooska Company - Both worked perfect with the stroller. I highly recommend this stroller for any active mom!!!!
