Default InStep Safari 2 DoubleJogger?

Does anyone have any experience or information about this stroller? My new neighbor's sister has one, never used (don't know why), and is offering it to us for $40. I'll be doing some of my own research and checking out their website, but I thought I would post here to gather info - pros/cons - as well. Any comments are appreciated!

ETA: Also, does anyone know of possible recalls on this stroller model?

IIRC, it is wider than the standard doorway, but if you are just using it around the neighborhood, it is not bad for the money. $40 is a pretty good price, esp. if its never been used! I had the single which I sold for an MBUS. The seatback isn't that high, and the steering isn't as good as my MBUS, BOB or BJCSD. But, for the money its not a bad stroller.

We have one and I love it. I think getting one for $40 is an awesome deal.

I went and looked at a MBUD on craigslist as a possible upgrade, but I like my safare better.

I can get it through nearly all doorways, but sometimes it's tight and needs a little push to jam it through. It's more a matter of getting the stroller lined up right. Most handicap doorways are no problem at all. It's maybe 1 in 10 doorways where I fiddle with it. I have never not gotten through.

Oh wait, I have the double Safari TT swivel wheel in front. Sorry! I think you are looking at a fixed wheel jogger. I'd only get that if you are a real runner. The swivel wheel models are great.
