Baby Joggers are gaining in popularity these days, as mothers and fathers alike try to stay in shape and keep their family healthy. Jogging with your baby can be a great way to get fresh air and exercise, and for your baby to see the world. Anyone who is serious about jogging should be sure to invest in a proper jogging stroller.
Baby Jogger has three strollers rated for jogging – the Summit 360, the Performance Series, and the Switchback Hybrid. The Summit 360 is for the light jogger who also will be strolling around town – featuring unique all-wheel suspension and larger pneumatic tires, this light jogger will take you anywhere you want to go! Baby Jogger’s Performance Series is the ultimate in jogging strollers. It has large 20″ pneumatic wheels for less rolling resistance with lighter aluminum construction and a rear wheel suspension, ensuring the smoothest most comfortable run. They have additional jogging features, such as a fixed front wheel for greater control, streamlined design for less wind resistance, a hand brake for quick slowdowns, and reflective stitching for greater visibility. Including all the best features of Baby Jogger strollers, such as a safety harness, parking brake, standard reclining seat, sun canopy, ample under seat storage basket, and quick-release latches for easy folding, the Performance Series is the clear choice for the serious jogger! Baby Jogger’s final entry in their jogging line is the Switchback Hybrid, a baby jogger that is also a bike trailer! Including the same upgraded features as the Performance Series, plus removable front wheel with self-storing fork and tow bar, bench-style seat and floorboards to accommodate two passengers, and built in bug and wind/rain screens, the Switchback Hybrid Jogger/Trailer is the baby jogger for the family on the go!
Another well-known name in jogging strollers is BOB Strollers. BOB makes a full line of strollers, almost all of which are rated for at least light jogging. All BOB strollers come standard with five-point safety harness, easy-folding frame, reclining seat, adjustable canopy, under seat storage basket, seat pockets, and a safety wrist strap. The BOB Revolution Stroller and the Stroller Strides Fitness Stroller are everyday strollers designed for crowded urban areas, featuring a lightweight welded frame, 16″ x 1.5″ high-impact polymer slick rear wheels, patented rear suspension with shock absorbers, parking break, and a swivel front wheel for easy maneuverability, which can be locked for stability when jogging. The Stroller Strides Fitness Stroller is the official stroller of Stroller Strides, a group focused on family fitness, and in addition features a handlebar console with the Stroller Strides Fitness Kit, which comes with exercise tubing and instructional fitness booklet. These two all-terrain strollers are perfect for the mom or dad who will be using their stroller for occasional jogging as well as everyday use. The BOB Sport Utility Stroller is a light jogger, designed for off-road and hilly terrain. It features 16″ x 2″ wide knobby tires for gripping power, a fixed front wheel for stability, shock absorbing rear suspension, and a hand brake for slowing as well as a parking brake. This stroller is great for light jogging and everyday use, and all your off-road adventures!
For the more serious runner, the BOB Sport Utility Stroller Deluxe or the Ironman Stroller would be the way to go. The SUS D’lux features 16″ x 2″ lightweight aluminum high pressure semi-slick tires for less rolling resistance, a fixed front wheel for stability, a lightweight welded aluminum frame, and a hand and parking brake. The Ironman Stroller is the official stroller of the Ironman Triathlon, and meets the stringent requirements demanded for high-performance running. It features 16″ x 1.5″ low profile high pressure slick tires for road running, stiffer shocks, a fixed front wheel, lightweight aluminum welded frame, and hand and parking brakes. These two strollers are rated for high-performance running.
A true jogging stroller is easily spotted by its high-performance wheels and added suspension to navigate any terrain safely at high speeds. Be a role model for your family, and keep yourself healthy and in shape with a high-quality jogging stroller from BOB or Baby Jogger.
