What to Look For in a Jogging 3 Wheel Stroller Whether you're a runner or just looking to exercise, a jogging stroller is a fantastic option. These sturdy strollers have large tires that roll effortlessly at a speed of running and are able to handle rough terrain. Some allow you to alter the suspension so that your child's ride feels comfortable. Many jogging strollers can be folded with only one hand, and then converted into travel systems that accept infant car seats. Brakes The most important thing to consider in a stroller that jogs is the quality of the brakes. You should be able to park or activate the hand-operated brake on the top of the handlebar when not running, and the option of a foot-operated brake that slows down while you jog. The brakes should lock in place when you stop to ensure that your stroller doesn't roll off the slope or into a busy area. If you have a child in the stroller, be sure you can also use the foot brake while running to prevent them from falling out of the stroller, or getting injured by abrupt movements. Some jogging walkers come with a wrist strap that prevents you from accidentally letting go of the handbrake while jogging. Jogging strollers typically have a fixed front wheel rather than the swiveling wheel you'd find on a standard stroller. This is a vital security feature for joggers since if the swivel wheel hits something unexpected (like loose gravel or a pothole) when you're running at a high speed, it might be jerked and throw the stroller with your baby off in another direction. Many serious runners prefer to have a front wheel that is fixed and locks into place while they are jogging. Other considerations for jogging strollers include suspension, tires, and the weight capacity. The best strollers come with high-quality composite tires that are all-terrain, and can take on rough or uneven surfaces. They also have suspension that reduces the impact of a bumpy ride for children and adults. Some jogging strollers are compatible with car seats for parents who have to carry their children in a vehicle. 3 wheeler pushchairs have a spacious storage basket to store everything you need. In addition, many of the best jogging strollers feature an adjustable handlebar to accommodate different heights. This is crucial for parents who are taller, since a handlebar not properly adjusted can affect the way they run. When you think about these aspects consider how much jogging you'll be doing and what other features of the stroller are. Seat If you're a serious runner you know that the right stroller can make the difference between a great work out and an injury. A jogging stroller that has a narrow frame, fixed front wheel, and a comfortable seat will allow you to keep your stride on track while pushing your child ahead of you. It can be locked for a smoother ride on rough surfaces, or swiveled to allow you to make tight turns without lifting the front wheel off the ground. It can be difficult to find a stroller for jogging with all the bells and whistles. However, VeryWell Family Associate Commerce Editor Phoebe Sklansky has found that the phil&teds Sport Buggy (starting at $470) includes all the features parents need for a great run or walk. Typically the seat of a jogging stroller will be roomy and have an upholstered sling that can be used to cradle your baby. It may have adjustable tracking to ensure the seat remains straight as your child grows. The seat should be fitted with optimal restraints like five-point harnesses with shoulder straps and a waist belt, and an crotch buckle that can be adjusted together. The handlebar of the jogging stroller is yet another aspect that you should test before you buy. Check the quality and positioning, and make sure that it's properly spaced from the bulk of the stroller. You'll want to adjust the height of the handlebar, and use it with both hands when you're running. It should also be easy to fold the stroller, and ideally it should fold over itself to a compact size so you can stow it easily in your garage or trunk or rest it against the wall in your entranceway. Most experts suggest that you avoid using a jogging stroller with infants until your child is at least a year old. Therefore, be sure to choose a model that can accommodate carseats for the early years of your child's life. The Baby Trend Expedition jogging stoller for instance, is an affordable option that could be transformed into a traveling system by adding a Baby Trend Infant Car Seat EZ-Loc. It also comes with an elongated frame with the ability to lock it with a swivel for easy maneuverability. Canopy The canopy on a stroller for jogging gives ample sun coverage to shield your child from the elements. The canopy is typically adjustable, allowing you to adjust the angle to cover your child. Some models have windows on the top, so you can monitor your child without interrupting your run. Choose a jogger with a lock with an elongated latch to stop the canopy from blowing off when you run. The front wheel of a jogging walker can be locked in the straight-ahead mode which is the best for running, or it could be set to swivel freely to walk around and maneuver in narrow spaces. A swivel wheel on a stroller that is jogging could be dangerous, as even a small pebble can cause it to suddenly move in a different direction while you're jogging. Some models feature a swivel lock on the handlebar to ensure maximum stability while jogging. These are the best strollers for runners to jog on as they provide the perfect balance of stability and maneuverability. They also have a sleek, modern design that will garner plenty of compliments from other moms and dads. Many joggers come in travel system models that include baby car seats, which makes it easy to take your child along on runs or walks. Be aware that children in a car-seat should not be allowed to run until they reach the minimum age suggested by the manufacturer. Stroller manufacturers like Baby Trend, Graco and City Mini offer a wide selection of jogging walkers. Some even have a separate section of their site dedicated to strollers that jog. When shopping for a jogging stroller be sure to consider your requirements, the kinds of terrain you will be using it on, as well as your budget. It isn't always easy to fold a jogging stroller because of its elongated frame. It often requires two hands. They can also take up more room than normal strollers, so you may need to create additional space to store or transport it. Stores There are a variety of storage options available on the jogging pram. Some strollers come with a large cargo basket under the seat, whereas others come with a smaller basket at the top of the handlebar. Some have a tray that snaps in place in front the seat. Many jogging strollers have adjustable handlebars that can be adjusted to various heights, so an adult can comfortably push it. The padded handlebars are usually covered with a soft material which feels good on the wrists and hands. They are also spaced far enough away from the bulk of strollers to give sufficient leverage for running or walking. Some jogging walkers feature an adjustable wheel for tracking. It locks when you run, and swivels to navigate through tight spaces or difficult terrain. This fine-tuning allows you to avoid potholes, bumps and rocks without lifting the front wheels off the ground. This is a nice change from the standard fixed front wheel that all strollers have. Jogging strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than standard strollers. This is because they are specifically designed for parents who prefer to be active and enjoy outdoor activities. It isn't easy to fold them and store them, often requiring the use of two hands. When folded, they are likely to take up more space in trunks and other storage spaces. 3 wheeled pushchair jogging strollers are built to fit car seats and bassinets for babies, so they can be used as a travel system if needed. The BOB Gear Wayfinder is one example. It comes with an adapter that is attached to the base of the stroller which can be used for specific infant car seats made by various brands. You can also buy an additional adapter that can be attached to the base of the stroller and used with other brands of infant car seats. If you plan to do a lot of running with your child you'll want to look for strollers that are sturdy and easy to move and clean. The fabric should be machine washable so that it is clean after every use. Check the brakes, and other safety features regularly to ensure they are working properly.
