I can't remember who told me recently that you don't NEED a jogging stroller to go jogging with a stroller and that you go with any sturdy stroller.......so I am wondering if anyone has tried jogging with their UBV? We just purchased it recently and certainly have no intention of getting another (jogging) stroller, but DH was asking if he could jog with the UBV. LO is almost 18 months, so him being too young is not an issue..

I'm not familiar with the UBV but I wouldn't jog with anything that doesn't have a locked wheel. You can hit even the tiniest bump and the stroller will veer to the side. It's dangerous. You can usually find pretty good deals on used jogging strollers on craigslist....

You definitely need a jogging stroller

@Silva: @californiadreams: You can lock the front wheels on the UBV. Technically, I think I've heard you can jog with the UBV because of that, but I would only try it on smooth, paved sidewalks. I wouldn't want to ruin it!

@shopaholic: good point, thanks! i doubt we will even really do it, i was just wondering...
-
From what I know of the UBV (I would think) it would be awful to get any type of productive run with!
-
Not familiar with the UBV but I would not jog with a stroller not made for jogging. My babysitter flipped our city mini over with LO in it while walking swiftly with it on the sidewalk. LO landed head first on the pavement. Luckily, he was okay but we did go to the ER for precaution.

I run with my UBV all the time, but only on smooth, paved paths. Not good for dirt or gravel trails!
-
@Colee: do you lock the wheel?
-
@californiadreams: I don't! I didn't know I was supposed to lock the wheel, so I'm probably not the best source of advice. Like I said, I only run on paved trails meant for running/biking (no curbs or bumps). I also use it for Stroller Strides classes. I haven't had any issues with it tipping.

I would DEFINITELY not run with the UBV. The frame and the wheels have no give to them so it would be a very rough ride for baby.

I have a city select and while I've done tons of long walks, jogging with it wouldn't be tough. I would assume the same with the UBV.

I jog with my UBV and it works out great! You can lock the front wheels and it's such a sturdy stroller that I would never worry about it flipping. I use it with my 18 month old and he thinks walks are boring, jogs in the UBV are much more fun! I would stay on smoother sidewalks/paved bike trails since I don't think there are shocks. Have fun!
