Where will jog?
- For uneven terrain (on sidewalks or trails), look for strollers with thick tires and a solid suspension system, plus labels like “all-terrain” or “high suspension.”
- If you also plan to tow your little one (or two) while biking or cross-country skiing, consider convertible bike trailer options rather than investing in a stroller for each activity.
Single vs. double strollers
- Single strollers: Built for one child, often up to 75 pounds and 45 inches tall.
- Double strollers: Designed for two kids; remains balanced even when carrying a single child or two children of different weights.
Safety features to consider:
- Brakes: A parking brake locks a stroller when stopped; a handbrake controls speed on downhills
- Locking front wheel can prevent wobbling as you’re running.
- Harnesses: Most jogging strollers come with a 5-point harness to hold a kid securely in place
Packability and comfort
- Choose adjustable handlebars if more than one person will be using the stroller.
- For packability, look for models with detachable or swivel wheels or quick-fold designs.
- Opt for reclining seats for better riding comfort.
