From the video, you can see the person is WALKING, not JOGGING when the front wheel begins shaking uncontrollably. The front wheel of our baby trend jogging stroller has a nasty habit of shaking violently when walking at a brisk pace, NOT jogging. The wheel will begin to rapidly move left and right before causing the stroller to lurch to a sudden stop when the wheel finally ends up perpendicular to the stroller. This is very dangerous because my wife was stuck in an intersection while trying to get across when the front wheel stopped the stroller in its tracks! Baby Trend's customer service representative, who was obviously reading from a rather condescending script, told us that we were not using the stroller properly and that they would have a quality engineer take a look at it if we ship it in. Yet, page 7 of the instruction manual says, "Always lock the front swivel wheel of your jogging stroller before you begin to jog. Please see figure 18a. CAUTION: Before you begin to jog make sure the front swivel wheel of the jogging stroller is locked in the straight position." (www.babytrend.com Locking the front wheel also makes it nearly impossible to quickly turn the stroller. Baby Trend, you have designed a terrible stroller and I hope you take the time to either listen to your entry-level engineers or just lock the front wheels of you jogging strollers in place! Maybe you should define what you consider jogging: 1 mph, 3 mph, 4 mph, etc...
