jogging stroller advice

We are looking for a jogging stroller. We already have a double snap n go for outings, but would like to use one around here. We live out in the country and our road where we would be walking/jogging is not paved. Any advice/suggestions?

Thank you!

If price is not an issue (or if you have generous family that would like to help out, as we did) you can't beat the BOB Revolution (duallie, of course). It is quite literally, AMAZING! The shocks, wheels and handling give an incredibly light but solid ride. If you fork over for this stroller, make sure to get the one with the rotating/locking front wheel. If you're not jogging with it all the time, you'll want the rotating capability for easy handling on regular outings.

The babes can go in it around 3mo (or less) with the help of a body/head support cushion for walks and then they suggest you wait until they're around 6mo for full on jogging.

I also have the snap'n go for quick outings, but the BOB makes you never want to use it again. We're not jogging yet, but my walks are like a dream with this thing!

Here's a link to their website: http://www.bobtrailers.com/strollers/strollers.php

 

I second the recommendation for the Bob Duallie Revolution. We have one and love it! I had the Bob Duallie with the fixed front wheel first but I recently decided to sell it (sold quickly on Craigslist) and get the Revolution. I found a 2006 model on closeout from mystrollers.com with free shipping. It's still pricey but I think its worth it. Plus when you are done using it in a couple of years, you could always sell it on eBay or Craigs list.

 

I recieved this one from Target off my baby registry Tike Tech All-Terrain Double Jogging Stroller - Pacific Blue It works good, except that the front wheel isn't on its on axis, so turning is a little difficult. But I started using it when my babies were 8weeks old - the seats lay flat. Now the babies sit up and they seem to like it.

 

love the baby jogger city series- they have a one step easy fold

You can watch the video at their web site; http://babyjogger.com/cityseriesmain.htm#

i got it at the following web site fora little cheaper; http://www.justmultiples.com/strollers.html

 

I have an Instep Safari TT Double Jogger, I got it off of Ebay for $100 brand new, and I think it's a great stroller for the price. It has a swivel wheel in the front that is lockable.

 

I give a huge thumbs up to the chariot CX2 here. The shocks are great. You can get the strolling package which comes with two smaller wheels for up front that pivot, and/or the jogging package which comes with the more traditional single, locked wheel.

The bearings are fantastic, it has drum brakes, I LOVE IT!

You can also get adaptors for biking, hiking, cross country skiing.

Well worth the $$$!

 

I would pick 2 favorites & then look for them on Craigslist. That's how I scored my Dreamer Design Double (which I love) for more than half off with every accessory. It was a true deal.
Good luck!
PS- my dd3 is a Suzanne too!

 

I love the baby jogger brand. If you want a true jogging stroller, consider the Baby Jogger Q Series (that's what I have). If you want an all-terain stroller, consider the Baby Jogger City Series. It is an awesome stroller!

 

Ditto on the BOB Revolution! I LOVE it and wish I had never purchased another stroller
