Why doesn't anyone have the Instep Safari jogging stroller?

I lurk on this board once in a while cause I love to see the nursery pics and I've noticed that not very many people have this stroller. This is the stroller that I have b/c DH and I hike, walk, go to the beach etc a lot and this was an inexpensive jogging stroller as opposed to the BOB, which we couldn't afford and some others that were really expensive. Is there a reason no one has this stroller? AM I missing something or do people just not find the Instep b/c it's not as popular? It has really good reviews. Hopefully it won't suck when my baby gets here.

I don't get the infatuation with BOB strollers.  Anyways.  BRU has 11 good reviews on the instep.

I registered for the Instep Safari jogging stroller. Great reviews and great price.

I registered for the BOB - but, if I don't get it - I'll be getting the Instep - I saw it at the park today and it seemed to work great!

I just added to my registry today, hopefully MIL will get it for us b/c we already have a lot of the "big ticket" items and she wanted  to get us a "big ticket" item

I really think I will be getting this stroller.  My only concern is that it is heavier than the BOB due to having a steel frame instead of aluminum.  In almost every other way, they appear to be quite similar.  I figure maybe we'll invest in a BOB down the road when we have two and need a double, but for the price, the Instep Safari seems like a much better deal.  You get twice as many features at half the price, and very good reviews.  I just wish I could see one in person, I haven't been able to find a store that has them except online.  Anyone who has compared the BOB and the Safari in person, I would love to hear about it!

Also, note that they just came out with the 2010 version, haven't yet figured out the difference between the last version (2008) and this one.

I have it.  Its made by schwinn which is a reputable bike company.  DH did a lot of research before deciding on it.
