good to roll

nice sound for the money, surprisingly durable, if you are looking for a good Disney tune player this is great, especially on the weekend runs of 90 minutes to 180 minutes. Not recommended as a substitute for IPOD speakers for more adult (deep bass / rock) music.
also a good baby gift!

Great Idea, Not Great Quality
Reviewer: Kim ,

I was really hoping for the best with these speakers, as it's such a great idea. However, I've used this product (or have tried to use it) 4 or 5 times in the past month, and it's just not working out well for us. The first couple of times I used it, there was a recurring, loud static-y noise that totally distracted me from my run because I was fiddling with it to try to get it to stop. Hoping it was just because I was running on a trail, I tried it out on the sidewalks of my neighborhood. The first time, it would just stop working randomly, and again I'd have to fiddle with it. Yesterday, it didn't work at all. Not impressed. Maybe I'll try to exchange it and hope for the best with another, but so far I'm really disappointed.

Wish I had this years ago

Based on the reviews here, I figured it was a chance bet to try these speakers and see if they worked well for me. My medium expectations were exceeded because the speakers produce very good sound and easily snap onto the stroller. I use them with my ipod nano and adjust the volume via the ipod since there is no volume control on the speakers. It comes with a short cord to hook the two things together. There is an on/off button. The clasp to hook onto the stroller doesn't fasten perfectly and maybe that is what the unexplained extra pieces in the box are for; however the speakers don't bounce or have trouble working so I haven't yet tried to make the fastener perfect. Overall I am thrilled because now I can share music with the kids and not feel I am endangering us by wearing headphones on the road. I am going to see if I can order extra clasps so I can use the speakers with my other strollers as well. If not I might just bring them along in the drink holder because it really adds something to the trip to have music. I would definitely recommend this item, especially at such a reasonable price.

Ok product

The speakers initially worked great, with sound quality above what I would expect for this size and price range. However, after only a few minutes of playing it (in the home, not even on the stroller), a constant static sound was produced. Any time the device was turned on (even when not attached to an iPOD), there was static. Considering other positive reviews, I suspect this was a fairly isolated fluke with this particular device.
Regardless, I did return it and will look at other portable speaker options. The return process through this site was effortless and easy--definitely a no-hassle experience.
One issue I do have with the design of the device is its lack of portability between strollers. I have three children, and depending on who needs to be dropped off/picked up from school when determines whether I will be using my single or double jogging stroller. I would really like a device that I can easily move between strollers. This needs to be attached via a screw and screw driver to the stroller; it is not easily moved between different strollers, especially on a constant, daily basis. If I cannot find a better, more portable option, I would consider trying this again and maybe even consider getting two of them for simplicity and ease of use with my two strollers.

Love These Speakers

My daughter and I just love these speakers for the iPod. Living in New York City, we are out walking a lot. Having some music to listen to adds to the enjoyment of our long walks. The speakers have good sound quality and it's easy to mount and dismount the unit to the provided holder. Mount is very secure, even on bumpy sidewalks and rough terrain. Mounts easily to all stroller types. I highly recommend this product if you want to listen to your music out on walks and hanging out at the playground. I bought this so that I didn't have to use headphones for the iPod (which is very unsafe).

Works as advertised

I have had this speaker for about 2 months. It was easy to attach to my stroller. The sound quality is adequate and it really makes my walks nicer since I can listen to music or play some of my kids? music. The only negative aspect I have noticed so far is that if my hand hits the speaker a certain way when I am using it on the stroller it pops partially out of the holder--moving it's location on the push bar fixed this issue for now.
