I run a ton and I can't wait to run with my soon to be 4 month old. Do you have a great jogging stroller recommendation? We'd be on asphalt.
I have a used Kelty Joyrider I haven't tried yet but it seems back-heavy, bulky and the brake is janky...
You might also enjoy...

Super strong recommendation for the regular BOB SE. We got the car seat adapter in the mail at about a month and have used the BOB daily since. Dtr is now a large 40 lb 2 1/2 year old. You can choose to fix/lock the front wheel or not. Everyone recommends fixing the front wheel-- we never do, finding it way too cumbersome. We love the BOB-- husband runs between a 7min-8min mile with it over all sorts of terrain. I run slower and love it as well. We planned on getting a smaller umbrella stroller to use everyday, but got so spoiled by the smooth ride and great turning, that we don't use anything else. Because there are a few newer models, you should even be able to find a used SE. We were just talking about our BOB love the other day, so I had to chime in. lmk if have any specific questions!

I've only had experience with a Mountain Buggy double stroller, and it's a great stroller. Wish I used it more often.
-
We love our Bob! I also agree with @mand4: on the front wheel. I like that you can switch between fixed and unlocked front wheel...but we basically never lock it lol
-
I love my BOB Revolution! I have the single and am looking at getting a double. You can find them used for decent prices on Craigslist and they last forever. I'm the second owner on mine and it's still going strong at 6 or so years old.
-
Another vote for the BOB revolution SE! I mostly use it on asphalt and pavement, but I actually pushed my daughter in a race that had some gravel sections last weekend and it handled it like a champion.
-
I also vote for the BOB! We love ours!!!
-
BOB forever! I have a single and a double, love them both!

BOB Ironman. Fixed wheel + hand-brake are must haves if you're running any sort of longer distances, especially on terrain that isn't necessarily flat.
-
I also have the BOB revolution. It is super smooth, and sturdy when running, but I find it cumbersome and bulky in terms of transportation and storage. This is especially true when trying to throw it in the trunk of our Jeep if I want to drive to trails. When testing out strollers I was between the BOB and Thule. I really liked the Thule - it was lightweight, but sturdy and very easy to fold up. I would recommend going to REI or EMS and giving both strollers a try!
-
The Bob sounds very popular!
-
What's the benefit of a fixed wheel?
-
We just bought a Graco Relay! We tried it out several times at the store along with the Bob. We aren't big runners but do a lot of walking/outdoor stuff and wanted a sturdier stroller, so I didn't really feel like I could justify the $$$ of the Bob. I got the Graco on Amazon for $239. So I don't feel like I'm out a ton of money either way. We like the Bob too, but not significantly more than the Graco Relay.

Love our Bob! I have a Revolution purchased in 2010 and it is still going strong!
If you're really going to be running with the stroller you should purchase a stroller specifically made for jogging. Better wheels, shocks and stability. -
@pachamama front wheel lock helps with stability/turning.
this website is very helpful in breaking down different jogging strollers, best price, best safety features, etc. http://www.babygearlab.com/Jogging-Stroller-Reviews/Buying-Advice

@Run2shore: thanks!!

@pachamama: check out the Thule Urban Glide. It's a dream! it just came out a couple of years ago so isn't as well known as the BOB line, but Thule is an excellent company and they made an excellent jogging stroller. It's gotten rave reviews and we love love love ours.
-
@BabyTsMom: yeah, I saw that got great reviews.
-
Another vote for the Bob SE! It's so amazing!

We have a bob sport utility single stroller, and just bought a bob double today. We took the double out for a spin today and are very happy with it. We've bought them both second hand, but they have tons of life left.
-
We also have the Graco Relay. I got it off of Amazon for 170 on sale. DH jogs 4 miles with in per day and he loves it. He only runs in our neighborhood, so no real hills, trails, etc. But we wanted one that would fit our infant seat easily, so this seemed like the best option. For the money, we really can't complain.
