Choosing a Jogging Pushchair

A jogging pushchair helps you remain active with your child, get outside for some feel-good endorphins, and also set a healthy example. It's crucial to select the right stroller that suits your family.

Most experts recommend that you wait until your baby is 6-8 months old and has good neck and head control before using a stroller. Certain models can be used in conjunction with a car seat for babies from the first day.

Safety

A jogging pushchair with a suspension system minimizes impact and vibrations, providing a smoother ride for your child and less strain on the child's body and the parent pushing it. Look for front-wheel and all-wheel suspensions with shock absorbers or coils to minimize jolts and provide a stable ride on rough terrain. Adjustable tracking is another important safety feature that you should look into. This will ensure that the front wheel stays on the right track when running on flat surfaces. This is important because strollers that do not have it will slide in one direction, making it difficult to keep your pace when running and increasing the amount you'll have to manually correct when pushing the stroller. Avoid listening to music on headphones when jogging while carrying a baby or toddler.

Comfort

Strollers that are designed for jogging tend to be much more comfortable for baby. This is due to the fact that the seat is more cushioned and hung from the frame, rather than being connected to the frame in a manner that causes the child to feel every bump and leap. Some of the joggers we evaluated had seats that were slightly reclined to give them more comfort for infants running at a faster speed.

Many joggers have deep and wide storage compartments for diaper bags, snacks and clothes. Many joggers also come with a beverage holder, which is much more useful than the smaller cup holders that are commonly found on many strollers. Additionally, joggers which have a safety tether you can put onto your wrists help avoid accidents by preventing the stroller from moving away from you when you fall or pushchair makes loosen your grip, especially near bodies of water.

If you intend to use the jogger by more than one person, you should choose one with adjustable handlebars. This will allow the user to adjust them to their height. If you don't have this feature, the handles will always be at a 90 degree angle to your body. This can make you hunch forward while pushing and strain your arms as time passes. The strollers we tested included this feature, which was easy to use and made a big difference in comfort for us and our test children. Other features that are important for comfort include adjustable tracking on the front wheel which can be used to keep the stroller in a straight line on flat surfaces without requiring constant manual correction while you are running.

Stability

Many strollers with jogging capabilities have front wheel tracking, which is an adjustment mechanism that helps the stroller keep its course. Strollers without this feature can be prone to veering in one direction or the other and can be difficult to manage when running and requires frequent manual corrections, which add to fatigue overall. The most effective jogging strollers have suspension systems that absorb shocks and make the experience for your baby more comfortable.

It is best to use a baby jogger when your child is six to eight months of age and has developed the neck control needed to raise their head independently. Always consult your pediatrician if you are uncertain.

A safety tether is an excellent feature to look out for. It's an elastic strap that you slide around your wrist when you lose your grip like in the event of a fall or in close proximity to a large body of water. This is a lifesaver and should not be ignored. All the strollers for jogging we tested have this crucial safety feature.

Weight

The weight that the stroller that you are jogging with can handle is among the most important factors to consider. The lighter it is, the better as your body will be less stressed. It also helps you move more quickly and efficiently. A tracking system that can be adjusted is a different feature to consider. Strollers that lack this feature tend to drift in a specific direction and can become tiresome and requires constant corrections when running. In addition, many joggers come with an front wheel that is designed to bounce off road bumps. This reduces the impact on your baby's head. It's best to consult your pediatrician prior to beginning jogging. This will ensure their neck is strong enough to withstand the bouncing.
