Running: Outlet

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.
