In an effort to be more active I'm thinking about getting a jogging stroller. It's the only way I get any format of exercise done is when she's in her stroller. But if we go on stroller walks she will fall asleep. I figure the jarring of a jogger should keep her awake.
So jogging parents:
Which jogging stroller do you have? Do you like it? How much was it?
Is a jogging stroller very "jarring"? Does LO get a smooth ride?
Anyone have the Eddie Bauer stroller or heard anything about it?
Thanks!

Another BOB Revolutioner here! $360 at R.E.I., but you can find them used cheaper. Such a smooth ride, and LO often falls asleep on our runs, so not really very jarring...especially if you're on the road or sidewalk!
One thing about the BOB...they recommend your LO be 8 months or older to jog with it.

Another BOB Revolution here! We got ours on Amazon for just over $300 (but only in the orange color was that price) and we lurve it. It's so smooth and it handles like a dream....I told DH it was sexy to "drive". It was our most extravagant baby gear purchase and worth every penny.

Another BOB owner. We love that thing! Totally worth the money. However, LO definitely sleeps more in it than in other strollers. Our second choice was the Joovy Zoom 360, which was also a great stroller!

I'll be the non-BOB user 
a BOB isn't even close to being in our budget, I did a lot of research and found the Schwinn jogger, I love it! J has a snack and drink station, I have one too! It's great! I can have the front wheel swivel if it's around town or locked during runs. I've never used a BOB but I love the jogger I've got

We have the BabyJogger FIT - I love it. Totally smooth ride, easy to push, easy to use. Was a gift.

Money is super tight so Def used. Hoping to spend less than $50......hahaha
@babyjmama: how much was your schwinn?
@sslm: would you mind sharing how much you found it for used?
@2PeasinaPod: LO is 15 months so we're good.
@Weagle: I think I'm going to look for Joovy too!

I totally thought the title was 'jogging stroller PANTS'. I was really curious why there were certain types of pants that were best for jogging strollers! Haha

@locavore_mama: well, I'm in Canada so I know they're more expensive here. They retail for $479 and we paid $350 for one with $200 of accessories. It's 2 years old.

BOB, $320ish. You can get a adapter to use it with a future LO.

@swurlygurl: haha well if you must know I think yoga leggings will make perfectly acceptable jogging attire? Or jogging shorts over leggings bc ya know jogging shorts are so dang short these days!
@babyjmama: @2PeasinaPod: haha sowwie!

I am on my second Schwinn stroller - used the poop out of my first with my first two kids and passed it on to a friend when I thought we were done. I'm so glad I found it again, I LOVE it. It's a nice smooth ride and affordable.

I didn't read all the responses, but I highly recommend the BOB Revolution. I heard that BOBs were "all the rage" and got the cheapest one- the BOB Sport Utility Stroller. However, the front wheel was fixed, so I kind of hated it. 
I actually sold it on craigslist and bought a used Revolution! We LOVE it! (I also hear that the BabyJogger XC is awesome.)

We have the BOB Revolution and actually the suspension puts dd to sleep sometimes, or near it. And she's not really a stroller sleeper. I honestly use it for walking not jogging, but we love it.

@locavore_mama: have you checked out the graco jogging stroller? The reviews on Amazon are pretty positive.

I got the mama's & papa's 03 jogger - I actually wanted the BabyJogger but the mams and papas was on super duper sale at toys r us so we went for it. It is pretty compact for a jogger as we live in an NY apartment and the bob seems huge...anyway, it has been working great for us, I'm sure the Bob and Babyjogger are probably better but this one is working for us for now!
