Out on the Minuteman Trail…
One of my favorite things to do it take one of my daughters for a run. No two runs are the same. And I get to see the same old routes with the eyes of a two year old…totally fun and inspiring. Plus it’s just more time you can spend with kids…who can argue with that? There are few key things you should know before you pull the trigger on a new jogging stroller…so read on before you buy!
Is Shopping A Waste of Time?
After all, if it’s safety approved, shouldn’t I just be able to pull the trigger? Absolutely making sure the stroller you want is safety approved is the #1 priority, but after that, there are plenty of options for you to choose from based on your height, stride, terrain, etc. Having the right jogging stroller can mean the difference between a fun run and a disaster.
What Wheel Size Should I Get?
Wheel size choice depends on how you are going to use your Baby Jogger jogging stroller, and your own preferences. If you are on city streets or go into crowded malls a lot, a smaller wheel will be better. City Joggers have 12″ wheels and swivels that work great in tight places like malls.
Why Choose Bigger Wheels?
The bigger the wheels, the more shock absorption! Our 20″ wheel Baby Jogger jogging strollers are perfect for the runners and hikers in the family. They can also be used for walking, for serious exercisers or those who want additional shock absorption for baby’s comfort and yours.
Is Height An Issue?
No. Most strollers are good for someone up to 6 feet tall, with some brands offering extension kids or custom taller strollers.
When Can You Start Jogging?
Every one has a different opinon, but we waited until our kids were able to support their own heads just sitting around the house. Then we included a head support in the Baby Jogger from their car seat. After a few weeks, they were both fine.
How To Position My Peanut?
If baby is sleeping lay baby down a bit closer to the front wheel of the Baby Jogger jogging stroller. If baby is awake place them in a more upright position. Remember to bundle them up b/c they aren’t actually breaking a sweat like you!
Jogger Maintenance
Check the tire pressure 1x monthly. The seat and canopy fabric of the Baby Jogger jogging stroller is machine washable, (cold water recommended). They should be removed from the machine and reattached to your stroller while they are still wet: or hang them up to air dry. Please do not use your dryer.
Baby Joggers Are Easy To Use
Almost all Baby Jogger jogging strollers fold easily. You pull two pins, fold the frame, and pop off the quick-release wheels. You can also leave the front wheel on, and pop off the rear wheels. That way the folded frame will fit in a little hatchback car… it just takes seconds to put the rear wheels back on. It is very fast and easy to get the hang of with a couple of practice runs.
And I Saved The Best for Last…
The motion of the stroller tends to put little ones to sleep. That is a huge benefit if your baby is colicky or just having a cranky day. Toddlers love to go with Mom and Dad and see everything as they ride along. They may want to take along some toys, a book, or maybe even a bottle.
