Jogging Strollers

Anyone have a favorite jogging stroller? I like to run and we also do quite a bit of hiking on dirt trails, so I am looking for durable, but not overly pricey. Thanks!

I have a Jeep brand stroller and although I have not tried it out with my little man, I love it!!!! I pushed it all over the store and loved how easy it turned. I do have the one where the front wheel can either swivel or be locked into place.

Have fun shopping!!!!

I have an Instep Safari II. It has a tray which is nice and the front wheel can swivel or be locked in. I always keep my locked and just lift up the front from the back when i turn. She says "wee" everytime I do it. It is awesome. I run a lot and it has held up great. My daughter will be two in October and has been pushed for hundreds of miles. Everyone tells me that I am raising a runner, however; i think I just might be raising a lazy child She gets very relaxed in it. Any way, good luck and I wouldn't own a different stroller.

I love my BOB Revolution. It is awesome. Online I found it for $319. The regular price is $380, I believe. I bought the pink/chocolate one.

Bought my Instep for about $ 80 new. I love it. Very basic, but I ran with my son and he loved it and now I run with my daughter. I only wish the canopy was a bit farther out, often times she gets the sun in her face...if it only was about 2 inches longer it would be perfect! My Instep does not have a rotating front wheel--I don't mind though..corners are a bit tough, but I just pretend it adds to the workout!

Another vote for the Jeep. We have an older model that we got at a second hand store and I love it for hiking and just handling the bumps and turns of the park. I've run with it a few times and it works well, but not quite as smooth as my friend's BOB. But for 1/3 the price and considering how rarely I run with her, it works great for us.

I also have the BOB Revolution and absolutely love it. It works superbly on pavement and on trails. Love it, love it! It comes in cool new colors too!

I have no idea the price since it was given to me but I love my Schwinn jogging stroller -- very easy to manuever and turn.

We have the Liberty Limited Urban Terrain. It was smaller than some of the others. But it works well and is easy to manuever.

The one thing I would watch for is if you are going to put any of these in your vehicle, watch how big your car is and how big the stroller is. Even mine takes up tons of space.

Good luck,
