Ease of use, comfort and convenience

Seat

The seat of this stroller is a bassinet type seat that can be adjusted to an upright, recline and carriage position. Reclining this seat is pretty easy; it is achieved by pulling the recline button on the back of the seat and rotating the seat to the desired position.

 

Before placing the seat in the recline or upright position, you need to buckle the straps found on the rear of the seat at the level of the footrest and headrest. To get the seat to the carriage position, you need to loosen the straps at the footrest and headrest and make sure the seat surround is extended fully.

Manufacturer advice against jogging with your child in this seat when it is in the carriage position for safety reasons. The carriage position should be used for strolling only.

 

The seat of the Manta snap gear jogger can face both forward and backwards and is easy to attach to the stroller frame by simply aligning the seat anchors to the stroller and pushing it down till it clicks securely.

 

The seat features a five point safety harness with soft harness cover to provide both a secure and comfortable experience. This harness is easy to put on and take off and both shoulder and waist straps are adjustable.

 

The seat receives a bumper bar that is easy to attach and detach. The bumper bar cannot double as a handle for carrying the seat. The manufacturer warns against using the bumper bar as a handle especially when your child is in it.

 

The manta snap gear stroller can receive car seats with snap technology to form a travel system stroller. Car seats snap in securely and can be both forward facing and backward facing.

 

This stroller does not have a regular stroller seat and thus might not hold a child older than three. The bassinet seat is big and some parents have been able to use it for their three year old.

Wheels, tires and brake

The manta snap gear jogger features a swiveling front wheel for improved maneuverability around corners and tight spots. This front wheel locks to provide stability when this stroller is on rough terrain or when used for jogging.

 

The tires are shipped flat and should be inflated to 20-25 p.s.i. with a bicycle type pump.

There is a foot activated parking brake located on the rear axle of this stroller that is activated simply by applying downward pressure to it. Releasing the brake is pretty easy too and is done by simply lifting the pedal.

Canopy and handlebar

This stroller features a large canopy that extends to provide plenty of protection from the sun and wind for your baby. This canopy has a viewing window for keeping an eye on your child. The cover of the window rolls up nicely and is secured with a pin when open. The window is lined with a mesh lining that allows air to flow in and can thus double as a way to keep your child cool, especially on hot days.

 

The manta snap gear jogger features an ergonomic adjustable handlebar. This handlebar adjust up and down to provide comfort for parents of a variety of heights. The handlebar is comfortable to hold even after a long ride.

The handlebar of the manta snap gear jogger can receive a single cup holder for parents. It installs easily and uninstalls easily too.

Folding and unfolding

Folding this stroller is relatively easy and is done by puling on the release latches and pushing the handlebar toward the floor. When the stroller is completely folded, it is secured with a fold lever. Unfolding is pretty easy and is done by releasing the fold lever and pulling upwards on the stroller handle until the frame locks in place.

 

The fold is some what compact for easy storage and transportation. This stroller weighs about 25 lbs. and is acceptable for children from 6 months to 50 lbs. and up to 42″.

Storage

There is a big storage basket underneath this stroller that is easy to reach from behind. It can hold a diaper bag and have room for more.

Safety

The manta snap gear jogger features a five point safety harness which secures children safely and securely to their seat.

The front wheel can lock when on rough terrain to prevent sudden turns that can be catastrophic. It comes with a wrist strap that when attached to the parent and stroller helps keep the stroller close at all times.

It has a foot activated rear parking brakes that is very useful when parking on an incline.

Things to not

• This stroller does not have a child tray
• There is no suspension so riding on rough terrain might be hard on babies
• When in the carriage mode, it should only be used for strolling not jogging.
• It doesn’t have a hand brake but has a foot activated parking brake.
• The chair is a bassinet not a regular stroller chair. It might not be the best stroller for kids older than three.
