A friend got a huge gash on his leg while running without locking the wheel so that was enough to scare me. You need that stability for anything more than walking in my opinion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820568 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:30:12 +0000 avivoca 1820568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Bob Revolution as well. I kind of wish I had an Ironman because I never use the swivel feature. I bought it thinking it would be my only stroller but ended up with two others that I use for walking around (a Snap'n'go and a Bumbleride Flyer). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820557 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:18:57 +0000 pl0508 1820557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have and love the Joovy Zoom 360. You can fix the wheel for jogging (def more stable ) or swivel for walking. It's great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820541 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:10:40 +0000 hilary 1820541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has the option of locking it or leaving it in swivel position. If you're going to use it for both, I'd recommend getting one that has both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820529 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:01:24 +0000 Amelieisme 1820529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another proponent of BOB revolution here. Really great to be able to switch between fixed and swivel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820389 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:01:17 +0000 Silva 1820389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the bob revolution SE. It is our only stroller. I would never run with a stroller with a swivel wheel, it's really easy to hit a bump and lose control. Plus, even though it feels awkward at first, it is so much easier. I like having the option to switch to swivel, because we use the stroller for walks daily, and the wheels can handle trails and grass. it's a fantastic stroller, I highly recommend it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820387 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 16:54:24 +0000 Charm54 1820387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bob revolution SE...was trying to decide between that and the Sport Utility since I wanted it for light jogging and trail walking. </p> <p>SO glad I got the swivel wheel. I put it on fixed wheel when I go jogging, but for any sort of walking (trail, beach) it is much easier to have it swivelling (unless it is ridiculously bumpy but 95% of the time while walking I have it on swivel).</p> <p>I'm glad I spent the extra $$ to have the swivel option available! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820376 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 16:36:08 +0000 Beebug 1820376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I initially ran with my stroller wheel not fixed thinking I preferred it. I fixed it once and never looked back, I ran better and it shocked me the difference it made!</p> <p>I have a bob revolution ce! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820375 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 16:35:16 +0000 reverie 1820375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cheaper jogging stroller (I think it was about $130) and it has the option to lock the wheel if needed. Since I use it more for walking / uneven paths I prefer the not fixed option, but if you're going to jog around it might be nice to have the either or option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jogging-stroller-fixed-versus-not#post-1820373 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 16:28:53 +0000 MrsH 1820373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a serious runner but it would be nice to use the stroller for walking and jogging on a paved trail without sharp turns. Would you get a fixed wheel? I've heard they are safer.</p> <p>What's your recommendation for a jogging stroller? </p>
