InStep / Pacific Outdoors, etc are all part of Pacific Cycle based here in Madison. They also own the bike brands Mongoose, Schwinn, etc., although even Pacific Cycle is now part of some bigger conglomerate. InStep is a name you'll probably most often see on strollers and bike trailers for bringing the little kiddies along. I think we have one or two of those.
I got one of these InSteps a couple of years ago as a Christmas gift, then bought another one at Fleet Farm. They are fine, especially for $70 (I think I paid $90). I don't really care about spit outs, etc, because it is for practice. Sure, add a second set of chains if you want. They come apart pretty easily, but they are still not all that portable (plus they don't have a wheel like some of the others). Honestly, if I knew someone wanted to get me a basket for a gift, I would rather have had them pitch in towards a MachLite, because those are some much easier to haul around. However, if you are simply looking for a basket to pull out of the garage and stick in the yard, these are great. I have not left mine outside in the weather.
The discs that come with it are fine for letting kids or guests use for practice, but yeah, if you want someone to go out and play a real course, I'd recommend spending $8 on something better.
By the way, Amazon sells these branded under both the InStep and Pacific Outdoors names, currently through the same VM Innovations business. I thought I remember seeing them sold directly by Amazon in the past, with free super saver shipping. It's currently $91, and while I don't think I ever saw it down to $70, it may have been at $80 or so. Just another place to keep an eye on if you want one in the future.
