Jogging Strollers And All-Terrain Stroller

Jogging strollers are a great invention for any active parent. Their design allows the user to power walk, hike, jog or even run while effortlessly pushing the baby stroller. Jogging strollers have a special design that prevents air resistance while on the move and state-of-art wheels that allow for a smooth and quick ride. However, you don’t just have to use a jogging stroller for jogging. This type of stroller can also be used as a regular everyday stroller when running errands or just taking a stroll. Find out more about the various models of jogging strollers and decide if this stroller is right for your needs.

Choosing A Stroller For Your Lifestyle

My husband and I have some regrets about not purchasing a jogging stroller when our daughter was still young. Our form of exercise before the birth of our daughter was power walking. We had no local gym nearby so we instead created a routine of walking, sometimes on paved roads through neighborhoods and sometimes on off-road terrain along gravel paths. We figured that after the birth of our daughter we would either find a babysitter who could watch her for an hour or so while we walked in the evenings or else we could just take her with us on our walks. It was, after all, power walking, not cross-country running. However, we soon discovered that finding someone to watch the baby most evenings was near impossible. We then tried taking our daughter with us on the walks just pushing her along in her lightweight stroller. This sort of worked but we couldn’t move as fast as we wanted and our backs would begin to hurt since the handle bars of the stroller were not designed for this type of use. We finally gave up trying to walk together and instead took turns: one stayed home with the baby while the other one walked. Finally, around my daughter’s first birthday we purchased an all-terrain/jogging stroller which allows us to take power walks together—even over snow, grass, and dirt.
Again, like when purchasing any baby products, consider your lifestyle before deciding on the type and model of the product. If you are a walker like me then a jogging stroller just may be what you are looking for. However, if you are a regular at the gym instead, then a jogging stroller is probably an unnecessary choice for your baby stroller.
Note: Most jogging strollers should not be used for jogging or running with a baby until the baby is 6 months in age. The excessive shaking and/or bumps could be potentially dangerous for a young baby.
