Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger Review

Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogging Stroller is a jogger for any terrain. It rolls with ease over smooth and rough terrain with the wide rear wheels that provide great handling and stability, and a front swivel wheel for manoeuvring in crowded or tight city corners. Solidly built with light weight aluminium frame, Schwinn Turismo is available in a combination of two fashionable colors and can be purchased as a single or double jogging stroller.

When you are out jogging, you can be re-assured that your baby is securely strapped in the plush and comfortable seat with a 5 point adjustable harness that will give your baby a snug fit.

If you are looking to purchase a stroller built with quality material, fashionable, durable and for under $200, the Schwinn Turismo Swivel Jogger is worth considering before you make a purchase.

UPDATE >>> The Schwinn Turismo is now discontinued by the manufacturer.  However, the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger stroller is a great alternative that is very similar to the Turismo. The design, quality and price are very similar. I highly recommend you take a look at the Baby Trend Expedition

How Easy to Fold & Carry

The Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single jogger is designed to suit parents with babies and an active life style. It is constructed with high strength aluminium frame that is light weight and makes the stroller easy to handle. Folding the jogging stroller is quick and simple with a dual trigger folding system. Grab two tabs in front of the handle and push a button to the right and the baby jogger collapses safely to be carried with a built-in handle. There is a swing bracket to hold the jogging stroller in the fold down position.

The Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single jogger comes almost fully assembled out of the box.  Attach the swivel wheel with 4 screws and snap in the remaining parts like the parent tray, baby tray and the rear wheels that also need inflating and you are ready to go jogging with your baby.

Baby Safety Features

The jogger has a 5 point harness to strap in your child securely, and it is adjustable to give your child a tight but comfortable fit. The push handlebar on the jogger is rubberized with Comfort Grip slip resistant material and can be raised or lowered to the right level to suit the height of tall and not so tall joggers.

When you are stationary, the jogger can be safely secured from rolling away from you with foot activated individual rear pedals.

Baby Comfort Features While you Jog

The seat is made of Faux lambskin that is soft and gentle to the tender skin of a baby, and it is generously padded so your child is cushioned and comfortable while you jog, run or stroll. You can also recline the seat in multiple positions to suit your baby.

Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single jogger has a canopy to shield your child from harmful UV rays, wind and drizzles. The canopy can be retracted in 5 positions to provide the best cover for your child.  You can keep an eye on your little one through a clear viewing window when you are using the canopy.

Schwinn used an exposed spring suspension on the rear wheels of the jogger to deliver a smooth ride for babies when the stroller goes over bumps, grass and rough terrains.

You will not lack storage space with the jogging stroller. There is a large removable basket underneath the jogger to keep your baby’s stuff, and this is complimented with molded parent and child tray that will hold two cups or bottles of your favorite drinks. The pivoting tray is positioned within easy reach of babies so they can reach out for drinks at anytime without you having to stop jogging. The tray can also be swung out of the way to make it easy to get your child in or out of the jogging stroller.

And here is a feature you will not find in many joggers, a built-in MP3 player speaker to entertain your child with his or her favorite musics while you are out jogging, or walking in your neighborhood.

The jogging stroller can be used with most infant car seats. If your baby is still too young to be strapped in the jogger, a compatible infant car seat can be used with the jogging stroller.

Tires and Wheels & Brakes Designed for All Terrains

Schwinn Turismo Swivel Wheel jogging stroller has 12-in swivelling front pneumatic or air filled tires, and a pair of distinctively large 16-in rear tires. The wheels are made of high strength aluminium with spokes.

As an all terrain jogging stroller, the wide tread tires of the Schwinn Turismo handles well on smooth and rough terrains, gliding effortlessly on all surfaces. The 16-in quick release wheels at the rear are additional features that make the jogger easy to push.

The front swivel wheel can be locked in the forward facing position converting the Schwinn Turismo to a fixed wheel jogging stroller with stability and straight tracking when parents are jogging or running. The wheel does not wobble when it is locked in the jogging mode.

Another great feature you will not find in many swivel wheel jogging stroller is the lock/unlock lever under the handle which is used to quickly lock or release the front wheel on the move.

Reclining Schwinn Turismo Adjustable Seat

I found part of the rear view of the stroller show more details of the adjustable seat, which can be easily reclined in many positions with a strap at the rear of the stroller. This is however obvious when you are looking at the real stroller, and it is clearly explained in the user manual.

Pros and Cons

Pros:
Whether you are looking for a stroller for jogging, running, walking around the neighbourhood with your baby, or just to go shopping, the Schwinn Turismo Swivel jogger has great features for all terrain that many parents will like.

The ample storage space on the jogger means you do not have to worry about where to keep your stuff and your baby’s when you go out jogging, or indeed shopping.

If price is a consideration for you, the Schwinn Turismo Swivel jogger in my opinion is the best jogging stroller for under $200, and this can be a big money saver for many parents.

It is a durable jogging stroller that will serve you and your baby for a long time.

Cons
Some parents are concerned about the weight of the jogger, but the weight is quite similar to other quality all terrain swivel wheel jogging stroller.

One other thing that has been mentioned is the lack of pockets at the back of the seat that you will find on some other strollers.  This may not be an issue for you because the undercarriage storage is large and you have the additional parent & child tray to keep your stuff.
