Jogging Stroller?

I absolutely LOVE my BOB revolution stroller! I loved my single so much that I bought the double when I had my second son. Everything about it was so thought out....sun shades for kiddos go all the way down in front of them, seat reclines to 70 degrees, swivel front wheel great for everyday and then it locks out for running, good storage, console with cup holders, etc. JUST GREAT! www.bobgear.com

They also offer a weather shield, sun shield, etc. Let me know if you have any questions :)

When I had just one, I used a Dreamer Design Rebound Lite...LOVED IT FOR THE PRICE. It rated higher than a Kelty on safety and is about 1/2 the price. I never have seen one in stores, only online...which we we skeptical of. Customer service was excellent. I now have a double BOB Revolution...I like it, but as far as RUNNING with it, I liked the Dreamer Design...it had an adjustable handle so my husband and I could use it, BOB does not. It had 16" wheels, with an option for 20...SO, for a runner, I think you may be happier w/ the Dreamer Design or even a Kelty. I put my oldest in at 3 months and had no problems, it had an infant attachment as well...BOB you have to PURCHASE all the extras. I liked the arrangement of the water bottle holders and such a LOT more than the BOB.
It was the deal of the century and if i put in more miles with 2, I would buy their double stroller.

I am an avid runner as well, and ran marathons before I had my second child. I just put my single jogger on craigslist today. I bought it from a friend who is a marathon runner and was a rep for Motobecane. Motobecane is more known for their bikes. The joggers are light weight and have a flex feature when you run that makes for a faster smoother ride. I now run with a double jogger that is Baby Jogger brand. I have been very happy with that brand as well. Many of my friends that are runners use Baby Jogger. Good luck!

The Bob Revolution is a great stroller. I'm a runner (was also a marathon runner before baby), and I love this stroller. Bob also makes an Ironman stroller that's a little lighter weight, has slightly thinner tires and a fixed front wheel, but we decided on the Revolution because of the swivel front wheel (you lock it in place for running). The swivel front wheel is better if you want to go for a walk or even take the stroller shopping. There are a lot of people who use the Bob Revolution as their "all the time" stroller, so that tells you how versatile it is. The Bob does not convert into a bike trailer, but there's no question I would recommend this stroller to anyone.

Hands down - the Bob Revolution stroller. See the product at www.bobgear.com.

BOB is by far the best. I have tried other brands & they have literally fallen apart after a year. I have 2 boys so I have the dual jogger & it practically walks itself (and thats saying something with 70lbs of kid in there). The sun shades go all the way down and keep the sun out of the kids faces even when they are fully reclined. My previous stroller just had the flat shade at the top which is worthless unless the sun is directly overhead or behind you. The Bob is a little pricy but worth the money.

I love mine! It doesn't convert to a trailer though.
BOB. They are kind of expensive, but well worth it. I use it as my regular stroller as well. Just bought the double BOB when I had my second a few months ago.

I have Bob- I love it! They are kind of expensive, but look on Craigslist.
Or- check running boards- I am sure runner with older kids would be done with theirs.

Before considering which jogger, make sure you check to see when you can run with your little one. I believe you have to wait until their 6 mos old.

Hi T.,

I loved my Kool Stride stroller, which was a little less expensive than the Baby Jogger brand and came with a better sun canopy. I think the baby has to be about 6 months old to use any of them though so she is sitting up on her own.

Have fun!

My serious road-running friends swear by Baby Jogger, and would consider a Dream Jogger. My off-road running friends swear by their BOBs. I run shorter distances over mostly smooth terrain, and have been very happy with the InStep jogger we bought "used" but still in its original packaging. Regardless of which brand you pick, the wider the diameter of the wheels, the smoother the ride, and if you're running you probably don't want the front wheel to swivel. Happy hunting!

Dear T.:

It was a long time ago when my baby was small enough for a stroller! I owned a jogging stroller that did not convert and a separate biking trailer. I found the convertible strollers were better biking trailers and poor jogging strollers. But it's been a long time, so maybe they've improved.

I enjoyed both, especially the jogging stroller. I ran so much with mine I wore out the treads and had to replace the tires!

L. F., my baby girl is now 13!

I LOVE my BOB Revolution stroller. It's the kind that has a lose or fixed front wheel. Now if you're seriously fast, you'll probably want one with a fixed-only wheel, since the Revolution tends to drift when locked in, and can skip some when lose. I always leave it lose, and I love not having to do the wheelie turn or feel like I'm always pushing a bit to do curves. Plus we travel with it, walk with it, and generally love it, especially because it's so tall and comfy to push. The best part about the BOB line is that you can buy a carseat adapter - about $50. I was thrilled to find out that I wouldn't have to wait 6 months to go running with my daughter. Happy trails!

I have a triple in-line jogger if you plan on having more or know of anyone in the market for a triple!!
