We bought the car seat adaptor and it's been the best thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-295250 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:54:45 +0000 pl0508 295250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: Thanks for the input! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294960 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 09:05:55 +0000 matador84 294960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is an adaptor you can buy but dh and I took him on a walk after we had him home for a week and put him in the stroller. I know that's not as convenient as if you are running errands and want to go from car seat to stroller, but it does work for our little guy. The way I see it, he won't be in his car seat for too awfully long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294884 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:32:19 +0000 pl0508 294884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: can you still place the car seat in the F.I.T. ? I was registered for the city mini and had no idea it wasn't jogging friendly! I won't be running a marathon with my stroller but was looking forward to some short runs with our little one so now i'm trying to figure something else out! if it is carseat compatible for newborns, it is probably the best bet for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294847 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:18:54 +0000 Weagle 294847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would follow manufacturers recs on this one. Then again, we're going to be a three stroller family due to my penchant for following rules so exactly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294816 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:59:59 +0000 MamaBehr 294816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellybecks - yah we are far :( I am basically in the Woodlands, so it is a good 40 minute drive for me to get into downtown Houston. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294453 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 21:39:06 +0000 ellybecks 294453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabehr - we just moved here from Philadelphia, and live in Montrose. So, I'm thinking places like memorial park, hermann park, and the loop around rice will be my go-to spots. I'm not too familiar with any areas outside of the 610 loop, but I'm thinking Spring is a little far from me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294421 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 21:21:53 +0000 MamaBehr 294421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen people run short short short distances with the GT, but the BOB is good because of the bicycle type wheels. If you want to run 3 miles, I would be nervous not having a jogging stroller. </p> <p>Totally unrelated, but where in Houston do you live? I'm in Spring and if you ever need a jogging buddy let me know! I also have a Schwin single jogging stroller that I need to get rid of because I need a double now. If you are interested in it (for $40) just let me know... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-294295 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:19:15 +0000 Beebug 294295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would definitely listen to their own words about the stroller "not intended for jogging" and look for another option :)</p> <p>I loved them and was told they're not actually jogger's, so spared myself trying to figure out if I could make it work and got the BOB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-293996 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:50:26 +0000 matador84 293996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the FIT (for intermediate trainers) by the same people who make the city mini and i LOVE it. it sounds like it would be great for someone like you. we special ordered it from buy buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-293980 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:46:13 +0000 MamaMoose 293980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing i don't love is that the wheels are on the smaller side. But given that it's designed for use "off road" and that the wheels are air filled and the front wheel locks in place I would probably be willing to use this as a jogging stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/city-mini-gt-for-light-jogging#post-293941 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:32:23 +0000 ellybecks 293941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been going back and forth on which stroller to get. We still have time, as I am due any day now but have the snap n go which is what we will use in the beginning anyway. </p> <p>I love the city mini, and at first was thinking I would get a nice umbrella stroller (probably Maclaren) and also a BOB for jogging and walks. We live in a very small house (less than 1100 sq ft) and both drive small cars. So, I was thinking it would be nice to have just one stroller that serves both purposes, which is what I thought the city mini GT could do. </p> <p>Does anyone use the GT for light jogging and/or walks on gravel/dirt type paths? We live in Houston, and most places that we would go for a walk are gravely paths, as opposed to paved sidewalks. Any jogging I would do would either be on streets or on these paths, no more than 3 miles at about a 10 min/mile pace. I know that technically this stroller isn't meant for running, and obviously the BOB is the better choice here, but I wanted to see if we could save space and money by just getting the GT. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
