Helpful hints for choosing a jogging stroller

For a healthy lifestyle, choose a jogging stroller

A jogging stroller is one of the great modern innovations for any healthy, active parent. If you enjoy jogging, long walks or gentle hikes then a jogging stroller is ideal for your lifestyle. Jogging strollers come in single, double or triple models and are a great way of getting the family out and about.

The difference between regular strollers and jogging strollers is essentially the number of wheels. Jogging strollers have three very large wheels. The larger the wheels, the more comfortable the ride will be over rougher terrains. For jogging, 20 inch wheels (or larger) are recommended whilst for gentle walks around the neighborhood or park you can go as low as 12 inches.

Jogging strollers with aluminum frames are lighter to push and easier to carry. Many jogging strollers come with carry bags to allow you to fold the stroller and easily pop it over your shoulder if required.

Double and triple baby jogging strollers are becoming more widely available and are so convenient if you have twins or triplets or even if you have two or three toddlers of different ages.

Look for a stroller with a 5 point safety harness as this provides the most protection for your baby. It is recommended that you not use a jogging stroller for any babies under 6 months old as their neck muscles are not developed enough to handle rough terrain.

Jogging strollers are also suitable for shopping malls and the like, but these generally have smaller wheels to make maneuvering easier. The jogging stroller with larger wheels is a little harder to maneuver in confined spaces.
