[U143]Used Double Jogging Stroller

by Datta, Dat

Looking for your first jogging stroller can prove to be quite a daunting task with the array styles and options available. This guide will give you a few points that you might consider when deciding which jogging stroller is perfect for you and your child.
The first decision you need to make is how your jogging stroller will be used the most. Do you need an all-in-one stroller that can be used for running as well as everyday use? Or do you already have a standard stroller for daily errands? If you are looking for a jogging stroller for everyday use, then you might consider purchasing one that has a front swivel wheel that locks. The Baby Jogger Summit 360, as well as the 2009 Bob Revolution both have this feature making it easy to go from a stroll around town in the morning to a run in the afternoon. However, if you are simply looking for dedicated jogging stroller, the Bob Ironman Stroller and the Bob Sports Utility Stroller are designed specifically for this purpose.
There are also double and triple jogging strollers available. The Bob Revolution Duallie, Bob Duallie, Ironman Duallie and Baby Jogger Summit 360 Double strollers are popular with most parents and fit two children perfectly. The Baby Jogger Q Series Triple and Baby Jogger Summit 360 Triple strollers can hold three children comfortably and even folds easily.
The wheels for jogging strollers can be found in 12?, 16? and 20? sizes. If you are looking to purchase a jogging stroller that will mainly be used on smooth pavement, then you are fine going with the smaller wheel. The larger wheels are perfect for rougher terrain and off-road excursions. As with standard strollers, you also want to check the weight limits for each jogging stroller to be sure that it will grow with your child while still giving you safe and optimum performance.
Once you decide what type of jogging stroller fits your lifestyle, you can then decide which features are the most important to you. Look at the folded measurements to be sure it will fit into your car for those trips to the park, as well as the weight to be sure you can lift it in and out with ease. You should also consider what accessories come with your jogging stroller and what accessories are available to be purchased separately. Most strollers have an array of items available that are specifically compatible with that stroller for a more custom fit. You will usually find that the more features and accessories a jogging stroller comes with, the pricier it will be. It is definitely worth taking your time to compare all models to find the perfect fit for you and your child.

Step 1: Determine your Use for the Stroller: Jogging, Running, Everyday Stroller or all of the above?

These are good question's to define right at the start because the answers to these questions will narrow your search. If you are looking for a stroller for use in all daily application's as well as jogging, you may want to look at a stroller with a front swivel wheel that locks so when you are trying to do a tight turn in the mall you can, or if you are jogging, you can lock the front wheel for ease of use. The Baby Jogger City Series is a good all-around stroller. If you are just looking for a dedicated jogging stroller, you wouldn't want a swivel wheel and may want a few more features in your stroller. The Bob Deluxe Sport Utility Stroller is a great dedicated jogging stroller as it provides more shock absorption for your baby during your runs.

Step 2: Determine your Price Range: Money Talks $$$

After step 1, you will immediately want to figure out your price range before going any further. Jogging Strollers can cost you around $100 all the way up to $500 or more so it's a good idea to know your budget and stick with it. Of course the more expensive strollers give you more features, better suspension, ease of transport, but you can also find great strollers for around the $100 mark if that's your budget. Just last year the Baby Trend Expedition Stroller was voted #1 as the best buy for lower priced strollers (approx $100). If you have a bit more you can spend, Maclaren Strollers give you features galore with adjustable safety bar, multiple positions for your baby to recline, and an adjustable arm rest.

Step 3: Size Does Matter

You know your stroller type, you know your budget, now you need to dig into the details of the product and make sure that your stroller fits your baby. Every jogging stroller is made to hold up to a certain weight whether its up to 30 lbs or up to 50 lbs. How long you would like your jogging stroller to fit your baby plays a very important role in the max weight the jogging stroller is build for. For example the Bob Ironman stroller max capacity is 70 lbs vs. the Schwinn Free Runner stroller max capacity is 50 lbs. Do your homework and check the specs on the jogging strollers you are looking at.

Step 4: Wheel Size

Stroller Wheels come in 12", 16" and 20". The bigger the wheel the tougher they are. If you are planning on light jogging a 12" wheel will suit you just fine, if you will be doing more intense running or off pavement running, you need to look at 16" or 20" wheels. If you are looking at a double stroller, think about going up a wheel size for more stability for your little ones. A good rule of thumb: the more intense terrain, the bigger the wheel.

Step 5: Accessorize

When you buy your jogging stroller, its good to look at any Jogging Stroller Accessories you may need to go with your stroller. There are all types of accessories from bug nets to sun visors and complete covers for the winter. Like all products, some stroller models will go out of style so its good to buy your accessories soon after your jogging stroller purchase to avoid compatibility problems when models change.

Happy Jogging.
