I want something that I can jog with, but for everyday use as well. Something lightweight and not crazy expensive! Any suggestions?

An everyday jogging stroller...sounds like the Bumbleride Indie. I have a UB Vista myself that I love, but it's not for jogging. I did own a BOB Revolution at one point. Very smooth, great for jogging, but not lightweight.

The problem is that strollers designed for jogging aren't terribly light. I agree that the Indie is probably the best pick, and one of the lightest that fits your criteria. It's a little pricey, but if you do really intend to jog as well as use it as an everyday stroller, you should spend the money. There are some cheaper models by InStep and Baby Trend that generally get good reviews, but people mention lots of quality issues.

I've heard of people jogging with the CityMini GT, since it has a suspension system.

I love my jeep liberty - it's three-wheel so you can jog. It is kinda heavy, but I am able to bring it anywhere! Oh and it's only $180!
Here is my review:

I love our BOB. It's not really light but a gently used one off of Craigslist is worth it!

@Mrs. Pen: I second the Jeep vote! We looooove ours

Whatever you do, please don't jog with a stroller that's not intended for jogging. Many people think the Baby Jogger City Mini is a jogger because of its brand name (or suspension system as pp mentioned), but the wheels on it are too small to be considered a jogger. Here are some guidelines for choosing a jogging stroller: http://m.runnersworld.com/other-gear/runners-guide-jogging-strollers?page=single
Might be tough to find one that's "lightweight" though. If you take out that requirement, you'll have a lot more options. I have a Bob that I love for running and everyday use. It's not that lightweight but not super heavy like other strollers out there either. I have an Uppa Baby G Luxe for when I need something light and compact.

@NYCaliMama: ahhh okay! Thank you so much.! I guess I should throw lightweight out of my criteria!
-
@Mrs. Pen: I am definitely leaning towards that one! I love your review!

I have a Mountain Buggy Urban. It's great, but it's still gigantic!
