.jpg "Ironman Baby Stroller")
My colleague Steven bought this from Ebay for US$300 for his baby Maddi (mother is yank), so they could jog together in a few months, when Maddi is old enough. The shipping was around US$70, but only to Chek Lap Kok Airport, so he had to go pick it up from there.
Nice bit of equipment here: suspension for the back wheels, hand brake on the handle bar for the front wheel, sunroof, five-point seatbelts, big storage compartment at the bottom, and drinks compartment at the handle bar (for the jogger I suppose), and a long hand strap tied to the back wheels axis in case the jogger falls. This stroller folds up relatively easily, and to a size not much bigger than the first stroller (for infant) Jasper had.
It seats a kid of up to 75lbs (for reference, Jasper at 33 months old is big-ish for his age, is only 35lbs). The thing is, Jasper refuses to use his stroller anymore. I can’t imagine an older kid would want to sit in this. Well, a wide safety margin is always comforting.

why get it from e-bay while you can buy it in HK? price should be 3K something for a new one.

I presume Steven has looked, but couldn’t find this anywhere in Hong Kong.
I have seen something similar, but much heavier.
I don’t jog, and certainly wouldn’t dream about jogging with a baby stroller, so I don’t pay much attention to these things. It’s just that Steven on his way back from a business trip got to pick this up from CLK airport and took it into the office so we get to play w/ his toys.
