Jogging Strollers | Berkeley Parents Network Jog stroller websites recommended by BPN subscribers: www. Oct 2. 00. 7 Hi. I recently bought the Bob Revolution stroller. It's a great stroller to walk around with, do errands etc. I'm finding that it's pretty heavy and not all that easy to run with. Maybe it'll be better when I no longer have to use the infant car seat? I'm wondering if anyone has compared it to the other Bob running strollers and what you have found.

I'm really hoping to find a stroller that will make it possible to go on some long- distance runs.. Thank you fd I have a BOB Ironman, and I think it's a great stroller. I've used the Revolution once, on vacation, for a 7 mile run and found it to have a much clunkier feel.

I experimented with the swivel wheel and found the stroller to be easier to control with the wheel locked. I think the spoke wheels of the Ironman, combined with the larger front wheel and the slightly lighter weight, make it easier for running. I've also tried the Baby Jogger stroller, which is super lightweight and handles like a dream; my main problem with it is that the sunshield is smaller (but I think it can maybe be repositioned better than on the BOB).

Kevin I got a Bob stroller as a gift and returned it for a Baby. Jogger. Think the Bobs are great for all- terrain, walking, hiking but have found the key for serious runners is diameter of the wheels. I got the largest wheel size and it makes for a smoother ride, easier pushing and really is not limiting because of its size- -it is extremely light and is easier to get in and out of places (like the local coffee shop) than my traditional Peg Perego. Baby. Jogger for 8 years (3 kids) and NO maintenance problems. Kool. Stride model w/ largest wheels and equally pleased.
I once pushed an acquaintance's running stroller with smaller wheels and the difference was striking! You'll be surprised how quickly you'll Fly down the running path! Also, avoid bells and whistles- a few brands added cupholders, etc., that just add weight! I do recommended the rain shield- clear plastic cover (ventilated) that keeps child completely dry if you like running in the rain! Baby. Jogger fan/Running enthusiast I have been happy with my Baby Jogger II with the 2.
You gotta get the 2. I've taken it on 4- 5 mile runs with no problem.
I also put my kids in it starting at 3- 4 months without an infant carrier. Running mother of 3 With my first child, I bought a Bob Sport Utility Stroller. I ran with it 1. 5- times and then joined a gym with childcare. The gym let me run 'off campus' provided that I carried my cell phone. With my second, I just bought a Mountain Buggy Urban Double and kept the gym membership. I loved both strollers for walking in the city (great off of curbs) and for gentle off- roading. But, I couldn't run with either.
That said, I have a few friends who enjoyed running with Baby Joggers that had 2. Granted, for one, that was her only option as her child screamed bloody murder in the childcare at the gym until she was three. The other had a husband that discouraged her strongly from spending time away from her child. In short, buy a Baby Jogger with 2. Otherwise, join a gym. I run with the Ironman and my friend runs with the Revolution.
We both run long. I think the biggest question is whether you run on trails much. If yes, then stick with the Revolution.
If not, then there's no reason to have the Revolution since the Ironman handles the roads so much better. I actually use my Ironman on the trails reasonably often (once or twice a week) and it handles fine (just not as soft of a ride I imagine) and worthwhile tradeoff for amazing handling on road. Regardless, you definitely want to run with the front wheel locked - you spend less trying to right it. Again this depends on if you're on roads or trails - curvey trails are better with it unlocked but particularly road running and even most trail running, fixed front wheel is the way to go. From what I've seen, though, the wheels do sometimes drift when locked.
I think the front wheel is fixed on the Ironman (unless the new models are different). But if your primary use is for running - this is not a problem. Good luck. Momma on the Move I can't say that I've compared them, but when I bought my Bob Ironman at REI, they said that the Revolution was actually not that great for running. The Ironman is very light and the front wheel is a large size and does not turn. It took a little getting used to (compared to running alone) but I have no complaints.
I don't use the running stroller out and about; it seems like it would be a lot more cumbersome than a regular stroller. If your priority is running, then maybe you should trade, but if your priority is flexibility, maybe not. Try locking your front wheel first and see if that helps. Bob Ironman fan May 2. I'm looking for a baby jogging stroller to do some serious running. I would like to start when my baby is about 4 months old. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good brand and model.
I have put hundreds of miles on my Baby Jogger II. Get the 2. 0'' wheels. Running mother of 3 I have a Chariot Cougar which I took my son jogging in at 5- 6 weeks. It has an infant sling that holds babies who don't sit up yet bery well. It great for running and also converts to a stroller and bike trailer. Bethany If you are truly planning on trail running, DO NOT choose the BOB Revolution.
A swivel wheel is NOT recommended for jogging especially on trails. Swivel wheels have been known to come unlocked making the stroller even more prone to tipping than it already is. The Revolution is OK for light jogging especially on paved trails and roads. It works great at Baby. B oot Camp classes in Oakland and Berkeley, but BOB will even tell you that it is a multi- purpose stroller, not a true jogger. I would VERY highly recommend the Dreamer Design. I think it is the best out there for serious runners.
The BOB Ironman comes in a close second. Most people would choose the BOB over the Dreamer Design because they go with the label and the one that ''everyone has'', but having dealt with both, I would go with the Dreamer Design.
It is lighter (yet VERY sturdy), taller, folds up better and the brakes are better. The BOB stroller's handbrakes always give out after a few months and I am pretty sure it does not have a foot brake (the Dreamer has both). The Bob SUS is decent as well, but since it is heavy, it is harder to turn. The Dreamer Design is easier to turn & I have yet to find a mom who did not love the Dreamer Design. Dreamer- Design- Rebound- Lite. Again, if you are doing serious running DO NOT get a swivel wheel stroller.
They are not meant to be true running strollers. Finally, check out www. They have a store in Oakland and carry a wide selection of strollers. Good luck! Anna BOB strollers are absolutely the best for running. Not inexpensive, but well worth it.
Since you're a serious runner you should get one with a 1. But I do know people who jog with the 1. Running Mom BOB is the only stroller we have ever had - or ever will have. The Revolution is awesome - we trail run, take it shopping, to the airport, you name it! It rocks - you'll be sooooo happy with it! Happy Bob Owner I am a pretty avid runner and run 2- 3 times a week (have done u can click in your car seat (about $3.
I started jogging when my baby was only 1. When he was 6 months old, we removed the attachment and he just sat in the stroller. I also recommend getting the lcup holdern which holds 2 water bottles and you then have a place for your keys, cell phone, etc. We bought our Bob Revolution at ''Sport Basement'' in SF and they seemed to have the best prices. Good luck! happy running I love my BOB stroller, and they are even better now!
They go on sale sometimes at REI, which is the best way to get them, and they have them with swivel front wheels (which can also be locked), which is the one thing my older model doesn't have. I'm pretty easy going about it, and have simply learned to incorporate a lift- and- turn for sharp turns, or lean into it for moderate turns. BUt what I love about it is the nice deep shade that you get, and it's a pretty comfy ride for the little one.- good shock absorbers.
I understand that they also have a new feature wherein you can put your clip=on carseat into it. They keep improving! It also has a generous bottom basket, in which I've stuffed blankets, snacks, water bottles, etc., and it has a basket in the back for those things too, so you don't have to slow down much. And there are even some little pockets inside to put things for when your little one gets more independent. And they have things for clipping things like a cup or stroller book. But be warned: jogging with a child is never going to be as liberating as jogging on your own, though someitmes it feels like you're getting your cake (jogging) and eating it too (being with the baby)! May 2. 00. 7 I have a jogging stroller I bought used which needs some tune- up and maybe repair.
The most noticeable problem is that it pulls to the right (front wheel is not swivel, but apparently is off center or something) and the hand brake needs some adjusting. Should I just take it to a bike shop, since the mechanisms that need looking at are similar to those on a bike?
Do bike shops work on jogging strollers? Are there any that you would recommend for a stroller? Where else would I take it? Something in Oakland would be best. I always take my jog stroller to Wheels of Justice on Mountain Blvd.
Montclair. They are very nice and do a great job (in fact, I'd highly recommend them for all of your biking needs as well!). Trixie June 2. 00. Hi, We live in the Berkeley Hills and also love to go trail- hiking. We would like to find a All- Terrain (or Jogging) stroller that has a 1) swivel wheel/easily manueverable, 2) can handle off- roading, 3) easy fold/relatively compact/easily removed wheels, 4) durable and safe, 4) lightweight, and 5) comfortable for a 6- month old up to age 3. The BOB is too expensive for us.
