We got our bob from Craigslist and it works great. I've tried out friends and I wouldn't be able to get a real run with them. You need good tires and a bit of suspension and anything with that is going to cost a bit new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-jogging-strollers#post-1924280 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:28:01 +0000 Happygal 1924280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have experience with it, but when researching strollers, the Graco FastAction jogger seemed to have pretty favorable reviews all around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-jogging-strollers#post-1924232 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:12:55 +0000 loki 1924232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>commenting to follow this thread! i'm also interested... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-jogging-strollers#post-1924223 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:09:07 +0000 Aimed 1924223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am in the market for an inexpensive jogging stroller. I have started getting back into running but don't want to commit to a $300 stroller yet (Bob, I'm looking at you!) as I want to be sure that I will really be able to commit to running before I spend that type of money. I have looked online on craigslist etc. but no dice and I have a 5k around the corner that I need to train for so I need a jogging stroller asap!<br /> Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent jogging stroller in the 100- 150 range? I have been looking at some of the baby trend joggers in Target and they seem decent, but of course you never know until mile 2 and by then its too late!<br /> Any recommendations would be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591584 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:25:47 +0000 loveisstrange 591584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: @Weagle: Ah, missed the part where she needed to run with it. I've read that the GT model you can, since they added suspension to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591577 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:23:32 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 591577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! It seems like the Bob is the clear winner, lol. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591574 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:23:15 +0000 prettylizy 591574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's looking to jog with it, I echo the recommendations for a BOB. For non-running use (since I'm not a runner!) I love my Britax B-ready!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591570 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:20:15 +0000 LivsMama 591570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bob Revolution, if those are her criteria (specifically the jogging part.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591466 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:50:42 +0000 Cole 591466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to agree with the Bob, it meets all of the requirements plus it is easy to fold. I haven't used it but mountain buggy might make something that would met her needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591119 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:21:01 +0000 Weagle 591119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: @zippylef: It is a great stroller, but you can't run with it. Baby Jogger does make other strollers that are great for running though.</p> <p>ETA: I LOVE our BOB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591067 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:47:52 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 591067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: good to hear! Do you know how it is to jog/run with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591056 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:42:22 +0000 loveisstrange 591056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my CityMini. It's a wonderful stroller and not crazy expensive. It's really lightweight, has a big canopy, a decent sized basket underneath, the universal carseat adaptor works with any infant seat, you can fold it with one hand, is compact. I run a lot of errands with just me and the baby and I find it very easy to deal with.</p> <p>We got ours for $200 with a 20% coupon from Buy Buy Baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-591047 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:38:48 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 591047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks y'all! Bumping for morning bees!</p> <p>I found the Joovy something... last night. It was cheaper than the Bob but I'm not sure if it will work for around town or if there's a car seat adapter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-590870 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:04:46 +0000 mrskc 590870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the BOB revolution. It's a bit heavy taking in and out of a car for running errands, but if she wants one that can do it all, this is the one. It folds up pretty compactly too. You can buy an adapter that the car seat can click into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-590867 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:01:51 +0000 SAHM0811 590867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a stroller she can run with, a BOB Revolution would most certainly fit the bill! I've had many different strollers (bugaboo, Uppa Baby, Maclaren, Mountain Buggy, and Snap n Go), but I really LOVE the BOB! Amazing suspension and steer.... Love it for jogging and everyday errands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-help#post-590860 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:51:56 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 590860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my friend is preggo (yay!) And she is seriously overwhelmed with all the options out there for strollers. I don't have a kid yet, but I have done a lot of research but don't have any personal experience. This is where you come in!</p> <p>Basically, she wants a stroller she can run with, take around town, put a car seat into. What do you recommend? I don't think she has a budget as of yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-261522 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:11:49 +0000 pastemoo 261522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: Oh, that;s really nice. We don't have any smooth bike paths near us. I forgot how awesome those are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-261264 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:23:56 +0000 mrstilly 261264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I don't run on the road with the jogger. The park has a 2.5 mile paved bike trail and there is another paved trail near my in laws. </p> <p>@lydg: I love my summit. It's incredibly smooth and we use it all the time. It's our only stroller now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-261174 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:33:34 +0000 matador84 261174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly do you like your summit? I got the baby jogger FIT and can't wait to take the baby out in it, but I have no idea how long it will be (I'm due in 2 weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-261084 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:00:11 +0000 pastemoo 261084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: Like I said, I didn't really think through it.<br /> The liability thing makes a lot of sense (look at the bumbo!)<br /> Where do you run with nice flat surfaces? Our roads are very bumpy. :(<br /> @Mrs. Sunglasses: Yay! Good luck. :)<br /> @Ms. Fairy Wings: Wow. That would be cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-261006 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:07:00 +0000 Ms. Fairy Wings 261006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I jog with my LO and have since he was about 2 months old. I have a special insert that I used until he was around 5 months. I have a doctor friend and she used a car seat insert that attached on top of her jogging stroller - it was pretty cool because she could look at and talk to her baby the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-260963 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:46:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 260963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: September is when all the activities start up again. So I'm doing some cardio stroller/swimming with Sienna, swimming with Mavrick, Zumba and starting up my C25K for the record. I'm not a runner. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-260907 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:02:09 +0000 mrstilly 260907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I don't think that jogging with a baby in a carrier is safe at all. That would be much more jarring to their little bodies than running with them in a jogger. Every step would jar them. I've never seen or heard of someone running with a baby/child in a carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-260900 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:59:12 +0000 mrstilly 260900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 16 months old and I've been jogging with him in our Baby Jogger Summit XC jogging stroller since he was 11 weeks old. </p> <p>Typically strollers/manufacturers advise not to run with an child under 12 months, though I've seen 6 months and 9 months out there too. I've also seen warnings not to run with an infant seat on the stroller, I think because it makes it top heavy so a bump or turn could potentially make the stroller topple over. </p> <p>The reason that the age cutoff is so high is because of liability issues. Not all babies develop strength and head control at the same time, especially premies, so the companies want to cover themselves from lawsuits. </p> <p>We never used an infant seat, but I think if I were going slow on flat, paved, very smooth surfaces, I would be okay doing it. The infant seat gives much more support that the stroller itself does. </p> <p>DS was born 10lbs9oz and could lift his head for a few seconds at a time when he was born. He had great head and neck control by 10-11 weeks, so at our 12 week apt I asked the pediatrician. He evaluated DS's head control, and gave the okay for flat, paved, smooth surfaces. (Really nice sidewalk or a paved path - no bumps). </p> <p>I think most babies have good enough head control by 4ish months, so it's always good to ask your pediatrician. Just start slow. Also you can ask your pediatrician about head supports for the jogger too. The after market products like the snuzzler are not safe for carseat use, but they are great to add support in a stroller. We just took the head support that came with his infant seat and used it in the jogger for the first few weeks I was running with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-jogging-with-your-baby#post-260899 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:58:53 +0000 pastemoo 260899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: Wow.
