Jane PowerTrack

Excellent – This pram enabled me to take my young son with me when training for triathlons. It is a fabulous jogging pram and suits heavy children definately. (he was 17kilos when we bought it). It has a high backrest and he still sits in there comfortably (now nearly 110cm tall). I didn't get one with the hand brake so I can't comment on that aspect. Overall my red and grey powertrack is awesome and I look forward to using it soon with number two!! The red and grey colouring, its ability to hold a very large child (bought this when my son was already three as a jogging pram for the purposes of jogging) and its easy turning and guiding whilst running and walking The ONLY thing I dislike is that the wheel base is very wide. other than that I have loved it for two years now!

Good – Other than the fairly big size of the stroller, in general I was very pleased with the Jane. We haven't used it as a pushchair as the baby can't sit up yet. I found the Jane to be very maneuverable and easy to manage with one hand, and light enough to lift on my own. The rebel capsule was handy for transporting our baby from our 2nd level apartment down to the garage to the stroller or the car without disturbing him. The generous canopies were great to protect the baby from the weather, especially the sun. The rain shields and bug net worked very well. Although I never used it as a jogging stroller, the big wheel in the front was great for suspension and moving over rougher ground. There were lots of little spots we could tuck extra things like shopping, blankets and water bottles when the capsule was attached. Because the capsule doesn't have a corresponding base that stays in the car, we could use the capsule even in taxis and friends' cars, and while we were travelling. I am fairly tall and the height of the handle was very comfortable and I didn't have any trouble kicking the back axle while walking. The rear brakes feel really solid and are easy to engage and disengage. The stroller doesn't fold down very compactly so it was nearly impossible to travel by bus with it, and getting it on an airplane was a hassle. I didn't like that I had to use both hands to fold it. We also found the baby would get quite sweaty even on moderate days until we put a sheepskin in it. The hand brake would drag on the front wheel but that could be adjusted. When the tires are punctured, they go totally flat and it becomes very difficult to push. It didn't come with a safety leash. The shopping basket is tiny. Initially we found it difficult to figure out how to put the capsule in the car as the user guide doesn't have a diagram. Once we figured it out, it's easy enough, but kind of a pain especially if it's raining and your struggling with the seatbelt.
