Features to Look For in a Running Pushchair

In contrast to traditional strollers, running pushchairs have large wheels that allow them to roll smoothly at running speeds over bumpy roads and sidewalks. These strollers have adjustable suspension to ensure a smoother ride for your child.

Before you begin jogging, build up your core, leg, and arm strength. Follow our suggestions to jog using strollers once you're ready.

Adjustable Handlebar

Having an adjustable handlebar helps you find the best position to run with the stroller. It is crucial to run with a high posture and not slumping. A proper hand position is also vital to avoid wrist and arm discomfort. A handlebar that is too low may cause you to put more weight on the front wheels, which could lead to instabilities and braking issues. On the other hand, a handlebar that is too high forces you to bend forward at your hips and may result in back pain and poor posture.

Typically, handlebars are raised or lower by bolts that are located on the frame or headset. The exact bolts to use differ from model to model and you should refer to the owner's manual for specific directions. You may also be able to alter the angle of the handlebars by adjusting the bolt on the headset that clamps the stem, however this can be a challenge and requires lots of adjustments using the bike mounted on a stand.

When adjusting the height of the handlebar by loosening the stem-clamp bolts (sometimes called top-cap bolts) by a quarter turn at one time until you get to your desired height. The tightening of the bolts must be done with care because excessive tightening could damage the headset bearings. If your handlebars remain stiff after adjusting the height the headset bearings could need to be inspected or replaced.

If you're not sure what size stem you should buy take a look at your local bike shop or ask a friend using a caliper to gauge the steerer for you. Don't make a make a guess. You will either end up with the stem that is uncomfortable or damaged. It is possible, though unappealing, to shim the stem with thin metal stock, but if you push an aluminum stem into a shape it wasn't designed to be, it will deteriorate and break.

The length of the stem isn't always specified, particularly with newer stems that have a different "rise" angle. The traditional "7" shaped stems will usually list the reach in a simple way, but others will usually list the reach along an axis different from the axis of the rise which could be confusing.

Front Wheel Swivel

The front swivel wheels on a stroller that runs are a wonderful feature in suburban and urban areas, where it is easy to navigate the stroller through shops, sidewalks, and other places where you may use the pushchair. It makes it simpler to make quick turns and avoid obstacles such as potholes and rocks while still offering the same control as a fixed wheel stroller.

But, if you don't intend on using your running pushchair for anything more than occasional jogs or some casual strolling on paved surfaces the swivel wheel could be an unnecessary luxury. A fixed front wheel is more stable and gives you the added benefit of having your eyes focused forward instead of looking down at your child.

This is one of the most impressive features of this top-rated running pushchair (you can find out more). The innovative system allows you to easily and quickly change the steering of the front wheel from straight forward for running to swiveled for everyday use. No more reaching underneath or fiddling with a lever or latch to change the front wheel position - you simply press a top-mounted switch and you're ready to go!

This kind of front swivel lock is usually engaged when the product is initially used. It assists new users learn to steer the product and not worry about it turning. This wheel lock is removed once the user has become comfortable with the new lightweight pushchair. Swivel wheels will then give the user greater flexibility and agility. This is particularly useful for parents who want to be able to quickly and easily move the stroller when they are running or doing other activities with their child.

Parking Brake

A sturdy and reliable parking brake is a crucial characteristic to look for on a running buggy. Certain models require two pedals to engage the brakes, whereas others come with spring-loaded mechanisms that are easy to engage and disengage with one foot. The parking brake must be firmly engaged even when the running pushchairs are not being used. Other safety features to think about include a front wheel that is locked suspension, an effective wrist strap for your hand.
