Choosing a Jogging Pushchair

A stroller for jogging allows you to be active with your child. You'll be able to get endorphins and exercise outdoors while setting an example of healthy living. But it's important to choose the best stroller for your family's needs.

Most experts suggest waiting until your baby has good control of their head and neck -- around 6-8 months old -- before introducing the jogger. However, certain models can be used from the first day using an infant car seat.

Safety

A jogging rear facing pushchair with a suspension system minimizes vibrations and impacts, ensuring a smoother ride for your child and reducing fatigue on both the child's body as well as the parent pushing it. Look for front-wheel or all-wheel suspension that utilizes shock absorbers or springs to reduce jolts and provide a more stable ride over rough terrain. Adjustable tracking is a crucial safety feature that you should look into. This will ensure the front wheel is in the right direction when running on flat surfaces. A stroller that does not have this feature could veer off in one direction or another which makes it more difficult to keep your pace and increasing the amount of manual adjustments you have to make when pushing the stroller pushchair. Do not listen to music on headphones when running while carrying an infant or toddler.

Comfort

Strollers that are designed for jogging tend to be much more comfortable for babies. This is due to the fact the seat is more cushioned and is suspended from the frame, rather than connected to the frame in a manner that allows the child to feel every step and bump. Some of the Joggers we tested had seats that were slightly reclined to ensure they were more comfortable for babies at jogging speed.

Many joggers have large and deep storage compartments that can accommodate diaper bags, snacks and clothing. Many joggers come with a drink holder, which is much more practical than the shallow cup holders that are commonly found on the majority of strollers. Joggers with a safety strap you can slip around your wrist also assist in avoiding accidents. They keep the stroller from rolling when you fall or lose your grip, particularly pushchairs near me bodies of water.

If you will have multiple people using the jogger, choose one with adjustable handlebars that allow each user can adjust the handlebars to their own height. Otherwise the handles will remain at a 90 degrees from your body, which could cause you to hunch over when pushing and could fatigue your arms over time. The joggers we tested all included this feature, which was simple to use and made a big difference in comfort for us and our test children. Other important comfort features include adjustable tracking on the front wheel which can be used to keep the stroller moving straight on flat surfaces, without needing constant manual corrections while running.

Stability

Many jogging strollers feature front wheel tracking, which is a mechanism for adjustment that helps the stroller keep its course. Strollers that do not have this feature could be prone to veering in one direction or the other which is difficult to control while running and requires frequent manual corrections that add to the overall fatigue. The best jogging strollers also have suspension systems to absorb shocks and make the ride more comfortable for infants.

It is best to use a baby jogger when your child is six to eight months of age and has acquired the neck control required to lift their head independently. Always consult your pediatrician if are not sure.

It is recommended to pick a model with the safety tether, which is a strap you put over your wrist in case you lose grip on the handlebars, like in the case of a fall, or near an open body of water. This feature can be lifesaving and should not be missed. All of the jogging strollers we reviewed include this important safety feature.

Weight

The weight that the stroller that you are jogging with can handle is among the most important factors to take into consideration. The lighter, the better as it means less stress on your body. It also allows you to move faster and more efficiently. A tracking system that can be adjusted is a different option to think about. Strollers with no adjustable tracking tend to steer in a specific direction and can become tiresome and requires constant corrections when running. The majority of joggers have a front tire that bounces off road bumps. This helps reduce the force on your baby's brain. It's best to consult your pediatrician prior to starting jogging. This will ensure their neck is strong enough to withstand the bounce.
