Do you run with the front wheel in locked position, like the directions say?
I ran with DS yesterday, and its SO much easier in the free position. I found it really hard to steer with the front wheel locked!

I don't run with it typically but once I ran with it unlocked by accident and almost tipped it when we hit a bump in the sidewalk, it was like the wheel didn't have time to react, it went sideways and I was going forward and the whole stroller made it halfway to the ground before I was able to right it. So my advice would be stick with locked unless you are on very smooth terrain.

I do. Our neighborhood is old, so the roads and sidewalks are pretty bumpy. I feel liked the locked position is safer. It is annoying to do the turns when walking or running slowly, but it doesn't bother me once I get in a groove.

I do, I think its safer.
Its annoying to turn sharp corners (like changing direction), but I can sort of lean into it for more gradual turns. I find it much easier to run with in the locked position because I can use one hand (which is recommended for running posture), and it takes no effort to keep it straight if its aligned properly (which, admittedly, took a little tweaking).
I hate running with a stroller in general- its just not the same and I"ll never be able to go as fast as I can on solo runs, but I've gotten used to the bob now and it works. -
I used to run with it swiveling, but found once I got used to running with the stroller, the fixed position was so.much.easier.

@Beebug: ditto

I only run with it unlocked, unless I'm sprinting or going down hill. Otherwise, I don't go faster than 7-8mph and the unlocked wheel does fine. Any faster and the wheel goes sideways and can make the stroller fall.
