1) What jogging stroller do you have/love and why?
2) When can you start using a jogging stroller? I thought it was when LO was around 8 or 12 weeks (I thought I had read that somewhere) but someone just told me 8 months? I want to start running again but due to DH's schedule would have to take DD with me.
Thanks for the input!

Jogging stroller is around 6 months, not 8, I believe.
Ive heard great things about the BOBs and the Jeep ones.

BOB BOB BOB!!!!! 
You can put baby in the BOB at 8 weeks apparently, but I didn't use it without the car seat until about 4 months. You can't jog or take them on rough terrain until 8 months.

We have the InStep Safari stroller. I'm loving it so far. We took LO in it from day 1, but used it with our carseat. I haven't yet used it with him without the carseat, but I'm pretty sure you just can't jog with them in it until 6 months, or at least that's what our pamphlet specifies.

Darn. I already have a great stroller (B-Agile) but thought I'd be able to start jogging with LO around Jan/Feb. Guess it's more like April or later.

@kjpugs: I'm not recommending this personally, but I do have friends that have run with their babies using the car seat attachment on the BOB while they were young.

Honestly, I was freaked out about running with her until she was 6 months. But we went for lots of walks before then! I have the bob se and love it. We moved her out of the infant seat at around 4 months...but she still seemed really uncomfortable in the seat so we got a soft insert. I know people who run much earlier, but I wasn't comfortable...she seemed too tiny and fragile!

I love our BOB. I would never buy another jogging stroller. I don't think I started running with it until DS was about 6 months old, but I did jog with DD at about 12 weeks in a Jeep stroller (didn't like the stroller though).

We have the BOB and it is great but I haven't truly tested it out due to DD's age. BOB instructions say use with car seat adapter from birth on, without car seat adapter starting at 8 weeks, and for jogging after 8 months. The instructions also say no jogging/off-road with car seat adapter because it is a tipping hazard. We put our daughter in it without the adapter at 12 weeks and she wasn't a fan, so we've been using it for walks and "light" off-road (on grass) with the car seat adapter.
